LV/Maul [MERGE]

So a common occurrence seems to be LV standing alone at the end, team dead and just wailing away at him till he’s gone whilst not fearing his damage or anything… since he’s already incredibly tanky, would it stand that, opposite of JMK who is pretty easy to kill once his team, which he has much better and more powerful options than LV does, should get exponentially stronger once he’s the only one left. Since battles generally go that way if you face him in defence, make the risk reward of getting rid of Maul etc be that if Vader is alone at the end, he ramps up his damage very quickly as opposed to not at all? I’ve said before that short of actually boosting his moveset or having his Ult be more impactful, just allow him to speed up his damage gain the less allies he has on the field. It would be a nice compromise and make battles against him more strategic… you want to take LV out early but that risks leaving other threats on the field… make people have to actually try when battling him.
I dunno, but I will say if CG doesn’t say anything about it soon, be prepared for a SEE situation, we know if they don’t jump on bidding a character immediately (and multiple times ala JMK) the inevitably they’ll do what they do best, nothing at all.

CG_Doja_Fett_MINI are the devs aware of how LV Is heavily underperforming?

They are aware of player sentiment regarding LV

Much like they were aware of player sentiment on gear. Only took 4 years for some stun guns to be added.

No dev comment to me means they are ignoring this. I for one won’t flush gear for the next shiny gl so quickly based on this.

No that is not what that means, and by all means make whatever choices you wish.

I mean to have Doja pop in and say they are looking at it, takes what 30 seconds? If they can’t be bothered to do that, why would anyone speculate that they are going to right this ship?

And surely I will do whatever I please, all in all, this game is getting worse not better of late. Road ahead videos are cute and all, but the only content they’ve really delivered in years is conquest and they’ve turned that into a painfully boring mode. Like make it extremely hard so folks won’t get the characters, don’t make it extremely boring and time consuming….

Plain and simple - LV/Maul combo is one of the lesser GL’s. At the same time it’s most expensive and Maul was the 2x the grind CAT was. This is painful punishment to the players that the devs have ignored. They ignore LV pre Maul, with the theory that Maul was important. And now they still ignore it.

Yeah I thought LV would’ve gained additional stats for every fallen ally. I mean GAS & JKA gain bonuses related to that.

Why not use any of the other gls if lv is so bad? The only argument i see that lv sucks is that he is beatable. This indeed shows the real face of the so called community. But someone already mentioned that plain and simple, he is upset that he is beaten and doesn't have an invincible advantage for 3 months or more. My question is, why would you bother to get that small advantage because you clearly don't need any of the rewards for having a meta.
Conclusion, lv is bad because he is not invincible, now bye all, going to my corner to cry about.

I’m also hearing that LV “apparently” absorbs negative mastery against SLKR matches since slk siphons mastery from enemies causing them to go into the negatives.

That’s awesome to hear if true!

Yes this is accurate, it can happen.

If they doubled the amount of mastery that you get from 100 ult charge and made you able to activate it at 50% for 75% mastery LVs ult would probably work. As for now its not even worth using it at 100% the first time and most of the time I cant even use it below 100% because I dont reach 65% on LVs third turn and by the fourth Im already at 100% thanks to Maul. It already pretty ridiculous that you need to use it 2-3 times to even get close to the same impact that Kenobis ult has.

I said it once but I’ll say it again, I don’t think lv is bad at all I just think his supporting cast sucks. Rg, piett, dv and maul vs hk, cat, Asoka (great synergy with 10000 assists), and GAS (the deal breaker). Dark side doesn’t not have anyone who comes close to pumping up a team like gas.

I think Maul is fine, DV would be perfect if he was how he was pre nerf and RG would be great if he had in his kit that with LV in the lead, he is immune to destroy effects and takes massive damage instead (no CAT annihilates) then give Empire a new shiny confrontation character on par with GAS and perhaps with all around stat boosting like CAT oh boy, what a force that team would be!

Cant wait to see if CG has anything to say on LV this week.

It’s fairly clear they don’t have anything to say. He’s been the worst GL from the start, no comment. We held out hope Maul would fix it, but nah.

Dark side having no one that competes with gas in that “not gl but better than the rest” category really hinders their team comps.
