Lord Vader is a bust?

They weren't making enough money with just the exorbitant amounts people were spending on GLs, so they had to extend the costs to Conquest as well. Seems like the approach going forward is that even if you have a GL, you'll also have to invest in a Conquest character to compete with the top level meta. Game is becoming less about gameplay and more about purely money more and more every day.

This is literally the same reaction people had to GL Kenobi when he was released, until Commander Tano joined him. Now he's dominating everything. People have short memories, and no patience.

Kenobi could kill things without his ultimate. I was running him in arena with 3 zetas and no ultimate and holding. LV is weak. Thicc but weak

The fact that you're suggesting you have to wait 3+ months and invest a ton of time into a completely ruined game mode for a GL to be competitive is ridiculous to expect people to do. If you dump resources into the absolutely ludicrous requirements that Lord Vader needs, you should be rewarded with an extremely powerful character based on that effort alone.

Basher isn't suggesting it, CG has stated it as fact.

I’ve had Lord Vader for a couple of days now and he’s not that good against other GLs. I’m about halfway to ultimate but really not impressed with him. A few friends have the ultimate already and he doesn’t seem to be that much better with it.

Better Call Maul.

Yes LV is a bust in his current form. Even his wins are low banner and he is near useless on defense. He might be good in a few months with Maul but that is a hell of an investment on the most costly GL to date for a half baked GL.

The kit has major issues - chief among them is the inability, at any point, to ignore taunt. This creates situations where when you have popped your ultimate, and the opposing GK has shield up - you do a whopping zero damage for up to 3 turns. Meanwhile your entire team is picked apart.

Of all GL’s - LV has the steepest requirements and given this is extremely poor with way to many deficiencies compared to his counterpart.

A common rebuttal is ‘wait until you get the ultimate’ - but consider this - the ultimate gives mastery from the team, it is not innate. If your entire team is dead - LV gains nothing from it. Let alone the fact that your ultimate meter doesn’t charge if your allies have no debuffs - so GAS 501 can beat LV fairly easily as they don’t inflict any debuffs if you play a certain way.

And i say this with the ultimate unlocked, all 5 members at R8 and with good mods. I have won maybe 1 out of 15 matches versus JMK/CAT teams. At this point, there is no point working on LV as everything he does - JMK does far better. With or without CAT.

A shockingly poor diet-Galactic Legend.

Yep, now you have to farm for a GL and then get their buddy to go with them. Can't wait to see who the next GL is and who their buddy is too.

A non-ult GL isn’t dominant vs ult GL’s? How concerning! Lol
