Luke’s Ultimate

Please help me here, because I don't have the ultimate so can only try to understand the kit without testing it.

From what I understood, you charge 8% each time a guy is buffed by a Lesson or have the buff renewed. So basically, each time he/she receive the buff, even if the stacks are full.

As the teacher and the student both receive the buff (if the target is a jedi), the ultimate should charge 16% each time you play Inherited teaching, 8% if JML is the teacher or the pupil (if you have the zeta, because he can't be teached Lessons). So you basically need to play 7 times Inherited teaching, one of those could be from/for JML.

That seems crazy fast, especially with the tm gain from Efflux (which probably is your opening)/Inherited teaching. What am I missing ? Is it just not worth it to be able to spam Efflux ?

No you only gain the buff to the targeted toon, not the one taking the action.

It takes 13 moves, assuming you can/do pass the buff each move. So it doesn't take particularly long, but to many other's points, you're forced to by pass other abilities in order to speed up the charge.

Now, what I can tell you is that despite what others are saying, the ult is actually incredibly useful. Being able to spam specials with JML is highly valuable, especially when you can hit the enemy for 150k damage aoe, ability block, inflict breach, etc every other turn.

It's not stated anywhere but I also believe JML gets a stat bump when in his ult mode, which is obviously helpful.

From my own experience, Slkr matches are usually over before you're able to charge ult and in Rey matches I usually get ult up on about 30-40 secs. The issue with charging becomes more apparent with mirror and matches against SEE as you do need to prioritize other abilities over passing the lessons buff.
