Malak nerf

Is malak ever going to get a nerf? Because i struggle so much in the arena unless his armour is weak but otherwise when his relic 7 is almost invincible imo he needs a nerf what do you guys think?
  • To be fair, the part of his kit that was added to prevent Papa Palpatine express could be removed now.....
  • Malak is still op for the difficulty in getting him, which I acknowledge is still pretty high - but nowhere near as hard as gas.
    I run padme in arena (r3 padme, r5 gk, R2 C3PO, r7 jka and snips). Jka has offence and potency sets with pot cross. Lands the heal block on malak maybe 35%. At g12, a malak can still eat my whole relic squad if jka goes down or fails to land the heal block when malak lost enough health to be killable

    Considering our OP is trying to use Shaak Ti clones against Malak I’m assuming he doesn’t have any of those teams at the gear needed to counter Malak.


    This is a reason for a game-wide nerf?

    use jedi knight anakin as the fifth, you need his heal block


    Should i replace him with arc or fives or maybe echo
  • Use GMY as 5th modded for speed. Tenacity Up and Foresight are lifesavers against Sith Empire. Mod Padme for speed as well. Make sure GK has at least one protection primary mod (helps survive Malak's drain).

    Doesn't foresight get removed by DR's unique before/at each SE character's turn?

    A relic Ahsoka with courage should be able to 1shot g12 Malak with whirlwind.


    Courage is doing nothing to Malak. And it's 'Protective Maneuver'.

    As a Shaak Clone arena main, did you mod your Fives for offense and speed? My team is a lousy G12 zzShaak and Arc, R4 zRex and R7 zFives and zEcho, but once the sacrifice is triggered they'd run circles over R7 Malak, even after getting fear. You need to trigger Malak's 2x absorb health (which should trigger Fives), and start blasting. But take note that this is a 50-50 RNG, it doesn't always work but it certainly could.

    My fives is modded with offence and defence
