When will we get any information about Lord Vaders potential buff ? Right now Lord Vader is the easiest GL to counter and hardest to get. Sith Triumvirate , Imperial Troopers , Fennec Lead without BSoJ , SLKR with nightsister cheese. I don't understand how CG released this character as he is right now and do not forget they did fix the crit immunity buff so this characters original state is what he is at the moment. Some youtubers, testers when Lord Vader launched talked like he is a beast or something like that but the problem is Lord Vader is not an Attacker he is a Tank. Game is saying he is an Attacker but he is not. Everyone who use him or fought against him says only he is thick. Not a single person can say Lord Vader is an Attacker he is not an Attacker until his 3rd Ult, but if you use ult at full you won't be able to charge up the ult until 4 turn goes. So he can turn into an Attacker but he needs at least 12 turn. And while using his ult he needs his 3 teammates alive, if not he needs another %100 ult. So i am asking this to anyone who works in EA CG, why did you make this character this way. He is a TANK, he is not like in the movies or games. As you can see from swgoh.com every Lord Vader user in high ranks using him with protection primaries this is not a good way to use an ATTACKER TAG character. Lord Vaders kit is really sloppy so please just don't change minor things like add some texts or anything else please turn him into an ATTACKER as you stated.

Yeah it's really weird to me how they have mentioned looking into him twice now, while also mentioning the hierarchy of strength in the last State of the Galaxy. But meanwhile they have completely ignored him and have not even hinted as to whether or not there will be any action taken for weeks now. Can we at least get some communication as to what the thought process is? Will there or will there not be any updates to his kit?

Reminds me a bit of SEE and the epic "SEE definitely needs a buff" thread that ran for months Eventually CG decided no changes were necessary. Agree with OP - LV is a tank,not an attacker.

It’s a lame team compared to jml. Who doesn’t love assist after assists LV and company get dazed asap and just sit there being meat bags for the next 3min.

Now he gains TM when enemies gain locked buffs, which makes him at least difficult to counter with IT. Plus Armorer’s existence.I still think SEE definitely needs a buff, even if it’s more lateral.That's a separate point. The thread I referred to went on for 2 or 3 months IIRC and there was very little word from the developers until the community manager said CG weren't changing anything. The buff you refer to happened months later.

Its almost as if making a GL that does virtually nothing until the 3 minute mark is a bad idea

Lv’s ultimate relies on high mastery from its allies.
Which makes LV a lot more powerful, but also involves relic’ing up his allies, especially if he wants to hold in Arena.
Eg
An r6 ally starts with 35% mastery, and r8 Is 60%, almost double the starting mastery, r9 has double mastery and so an r9 ally of LV will give LV double the mastery each ultimate.
Anything lower than r6 really weakens LV

I se LV in arena and rarely drop below top 10, but my team has benefit from whaling.

I use r9 LV, r9 maul, r8 RG r8 ninth sister r9 kru.
Although shore is a good replacement for ninth.
I have them all fast so all allies have a turn before LV’s 2nd turn.

The more buffs you give them team the better and removing them, really pumps up the whole teams mastery and makes the ultimate more powerful

But a far higher relic’d team is needed than a comparative jmk team, and in a resource limited game, this puts LV at a great disadvantage compared to JKL

That's an expensive squad for a defunct game mode.

Lord Failure lives up to his name. CG created him to cash in on people whaling on BB. Nothing but a money grab.
