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.

Agree with OP - LV is a tank,not an attacker. They did give SEE a buff with the Great Nerf, though. 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

for some reason they want JMK to be the best, even though LV is the most expensive GL. Though JML can be beaten too easily by non-GL teams, but LV is really insufferable. They really need to hurry up and do whatever they're going to do about updating LV so he works like he should for the cost.

I'd also throw that conquest character in there that takes 60 omicron pieces to max out, Mr D.B. Fett. Just because he can beat LV doesn't mean he's worth 60 pieces. (Even though "conquest characters" are supposed to be extra excellent.)

JMK beat LV in the movie so they have to keep it the same in game…. In this form all you see LV kill is younglings (which are not in the game yet) and nute and his friends (which LV is not beat by nute teams..) so just thank CG for following cannon and enjoy your lord failure.

R9 LV & RG | R8 Maul & DV | R7 Thrawn

Lord Vader was modded with 190K protection & they were still no match for Fennec Shand and her team full of Marquees.

But hey I guess Lord Failures perfectly fine to CG.

Seems like investment doesn’t equal performance anymore to them ?

It's been 60 days from the first LV post by CG.

What Crumb said in Hynesys stream is unacceptable.

"He said we're double checking. Month or two ago Lord Vader performing really well. Fennec came out and LV is not good as he was. If we are looking at it even more than just like a okay we actually went deeper into this we'll let you know. Right now nothing on the cards for Lord Vader."

So what a logic, it's not about fennec. LORD VADERs crit immunity from lead was bugged and you fixed it. This is the characters original state. What about SITH TRIO ? IMP TROOPERS ? What he need is a HUGE BUFF or REWORK not monitoring the problem kind of thing.

Ranger confessed "Lord Vader is not performing as intended. But we'll get it fixed right."

Marquee
Journey
GL
GL w/ Conquest Counterpart

That's the statement you made, no marquee or sith trio type of squad can beat REY, SLKR, JMK.
No other than a GL can beat JMK with CAT.

Thats the problem, JMK and LV are pair. But while JMK's only counter was a GL and it's not consistent SEE, SLKR can beat but not consistent they did even buff JMK more against SEE ignore protection, remove stealth.
While JMK does this Lord Vader suffers enormously. Lord Vader can be countered by SLKR nightsister cheese. When SEE done something like that to JMK they immediately not nerfed SEE, NIGHTSISTERS or anything They BUFFED JMK he can now remove stealth and ignore protection. But when it comes to Lord Vader they are monitoring but not thinking about to buff Lord Vader. Just make a refund then, give everyone who owns Lord Vader their currency back.
We invested in this character so much and we are punished by getting it. So many GAC, TW, Crystals and because Lord Vader is not at the state he should be, looking at your statement. We are losing Crystals , Resources. BUFF or REWORK Lord Vader there is no other way.

Fennec op, gonna be broken if they drop a BH GL

Yeah I’ve given up on it… they are somehow happy with him and think his utterly boring kit and squad interaction is fine which is funny considering how godlike and right they got it with JMK. As I said, stop spending and feel better about it. I spent and got LV because he’s a version of my favourite character but in terms of GL’s, I’ll wait until they’re in the wild for at least 3 months before deciding to go for them in future, simply not worth the risk after this train wreck. JMK is where it’s at!

why shouldn't the ai have some randomness

Gotta ask CG that since they’re the ones who hard coded other characters AIs to do specific things to make them perform better on D.

(Ex: JMK / JKR / SLKR)

I agree, JMK should definitely randomise who’s cool-downs he decreases so CAT doesn’t get a turn 1 annihilate every time.

Lord Vader absorbs negative mastery from SLKR ;)

Don’t worry though, it isn’t a bug, the devs intended this to happen.
