CG, thanks for checking this issue. Since your last update, LV struggles a lot more against other GLs like JMK and JML. I used the same starting squad (LV, maul, RG, DV, piett) before and after against the same squads. Before I won all the time against JMK (GAS, ahsoka, cat, GK) in about 3 min with 4-5 toons surviving at the end. Now, the win rate has dropped significantly and if I win, only LV is alive and I must "auto" the fight if I don't want to potentially timeout.I understand that LV is terrible on defense but now he's also terrible on offense (the amount of banners lost in GAC is now insane). Please, remove this "fix" or give him the ability to ignore taunt when he's activated his ultimate. Like that you would fix the slkr-nightsisters cheese at the same time ;-)

What a stupid toon. Everything about him. His kit is stupid. Big health, and damage over time. How utterly and tragically boring for Lord Vader. His team is stupid. It’s just so desperately boring, has little synergy beyond the big health from LV, and breaks up so many teams. Tragic. They changed the entire game for this terrible character. The great nerf of 2021, all those beloved characters changed, for this guy, and he doesn’t even work anyway. So they keep changing more. All for the most boring and utterly tragic character in the whole game. Not even just the most boring GL, the most boring character and team in the game. Phoenix have a better kit than Lord Vader. CG absolutely dropped the ball on this iconic character.

Don't forget to look at his story in the movies for in-game realism1) He lost to a solo JMK2) He was killed by a solo pre-SEE PalpatineHim not beating everything in existence in-game is consistent

Fun little non maul LV counter, (Maul comps cause it to time out with a 5v1 which is nice).

… you know, casually getting max banners vs a GL with a team of Marquees and no omicrons.

What makes it time out? Maul would get a Frenzy turn but worst I can imagine is he punches out Kyle quick. I’d think Piett would be more irritating.

This is one of the vids the guy did against a Maul

Obviously it failed due to the lack of nice montage music.

I do wonder if that lightspeed Gideon was the larger problem, though. He let Maul get his barrage off (which slowed down Kyle’s cleanse and Mothma’s summon) and even ruined a TM train with Control the Situation. Oh, and Demoralize.
