Kylo Ren Unmasked Questions

1) yes, it should be both a buff and a debuff.

2)no it is not, they have not revealed any plans to do so.

Technically TFA is masked KR. This is Unmasked KR we are talking about. :wink:

I'm thinking only hero journey level characters get a buff/debuff that can't be removed.

I really wish Kylo Unmasked had a little more, though. I think if he had about twice as much damage as he has now, at least on his basic, he'd be almost palatable. IMO, he should be a little scary to play against. But from what I've seen, he's only slightly annoying as a livelord under the right circumstances.

Thrawn fracture is legendary level, talzin plague is marquee level hmm

Oh yes there's sabine.. and if we extend the list, we have boba at f2p level hmm

I will forever ask for the un-dispellable halt. Meta teams shrug off the two turn stun like it's nothing.

When his kit release, i'm interest to have him. But after i do couple fights turn out he is mediocre. I test fight KRU team with classic triple cleanse team, his stun is like regular stun. Yes he is tanky, but there's a lot tanky chars beside him.

Then i said to myself "carry on.. nothing special here" :open_mouth:

By far the best thing about KRU is how crazy he makes the original Kylo under KRU lead. With all the debuffs and buffs Kylo gets, he has ridiculous survivability. This allows you to pick between which special you want to use rather than constantly using outrage to regain protection. My Kylo is g12 with all g12 gear, and have had titan teams use him for target practice for a solid 2 minutes before it ends in a draw.

Taunting here and there, the stuns, and up to 40k-50k damage with his 2nd special on a stunned enemy are pretty good too.

I run KRU lead, Kylo, Nihilus, GK, and CLS in arena and get the top spot occasionally but usually sit in the teens or 20s, which is the best I've done since the zaul days, so I'm pretty happy with him.

I too have a G12 KRU. I pair him with zeta Barriss and without annihilate or a heal immunity, then good luck killing him lol. Over 42k in health. Officially replaced GK on my team and I’ve got no complaints. I also don’t need the slow useless GK lead..

That's the thing, though. They gave Rey JT an uncleansable heal immunity. So she's basically a counter to unkillable KRU, and her teams are dominating everything ATM.

They should've given KRU some kind of edge to counter something Rey JT does. The uncleanseable Stun would have been good. Cut right through her Foresight and take her out, even with her cleansing zeta. I guess it'd seem too much like Fracture then.

Kylo and Rey were very much equal opposites in the force. This could have been reflected in game in so many cool ways. They should have had the same release style, like Rey's hero journey being playable from both sides. They should have had equally powerful kits that were opposite in style.

I think we sort of... kind of got the latter portion, given that KRU's ability to soak up damage may be unrivaled, but Rey's healing immunity is the only one you see in top arena. The real problem is that Rey has a supporting cast that KRU just can't match. Without R2 it might have made sense, but R2 is in every team, and there is practically no way to even land a meaningful hit on the JTR, R2, BB8, OB, GK combo. You just take hacks at foresight until illuminated destiny goes off and they go nuts.

R2 remains the most broken thing in this game. He's even shoehorned into half of the nightsister teams i see for some reason. He's he reason the balance between KRU and Rey wasn't there, and he really needs to be a little more powerful i.e. uncleansable stun, to make them both viable arena choices.

Why the necro on this thread, @JamieD ?
