LV/Maul [MERGE]

When it works, by God it works:

• Lord Vader opens with his aoe
  
• Maul uses his 5 attack once on CAT, once on GK, then Fervent Rush GK (36% charge)
  
• LV's next turn is Harbinger to gain around 30% charge (66% charge)
  
• Maul's next turn, you can use the 5 attack on CAT x1, GK x1 again, and another Fervent Rush (100% charge)
  

This puts buff immunity on GK and removes his taunt completely, allowing you to go after Snips who has the lowest H+P by far to trip the savior early. Darth Vader's second/third turn (I forget which, have only ran this strat twice tonight) is a Culling Blade that kills GK (should have 20+ debuffs) BEFORE JMK has the chance to ult.

The downside to this is that LV enters ult with only Harbinger off of cooldown - Unshackled still needs 1 more turn.

I don’t think Vader winning on offense is the issue.

Right now you have a mediocre to poor defensive team. A character who has little value in raids.

So effectively for the steepest requirements for a GL, and 2+ month wait for Maul, you have maybe the worst or 2nd worst GL?

Basically the investment does not equal the reward. I’m not saying this team shouldn’t lose to JMK, but I’m saying that the poor AI decision making, making it even easier for JMK to win, is dumb.

Thus if players have a choice as to which GL they want to farm too, I’m saying 100% avoid Lord Vader. Highest resource allocation for a tune that is basically great in TB’s and offense.

He can’t really under dog teams in GAC. He’s not great in raids. He’s not amazing on defense….

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

Yeah LV has his moments, but I think the issue is that Kenobi can just turn his brain off and still beat LV easily, whereas Vader needs specific strategies + a little bit of RNG to beat Kenobi before the timer runs out. If anything LV + Maul feels like a slightly better JML team. Hell, swap LVs ultimate for a slightly adjusted JML ult and hed be 10 times better.

That would certainly be one improvement. What I would love to see is Ashes of the Republic turning all LV's debuffs into locked versions. Ulting first and popping off a mega Unshackled is amazing until JMK ults and just cleanses everyone.

Absolutely. Seeing that sea of dots just disappear hurts your soul

Sadly I think they will give us the SEE-treatment.

It’s 50/50 tbh

CG made SEE garbage but made SLKR op in their respective times

I agree… tag the devs a million times, get no reply until 3 months in when they say he’s WAI… only this time the investment is so much more

Those who skipped JMK and went for LV got the short end of the stick that’s for sure.
