Maybe it's just me but after I upgraded my Anakin Skywalker's Relic to level seven, it seems that there has been some sort of nerfing and or manipulation taking place on the part of the Developers. I run my Anakin Skywalker with my Padme teams in right after I brought his Relic up to level seven, Anakin Skywalker would gain 20 plus tax of Courage when Padme used her ability. This was awesome given the fact that Anakin Skywalker's new stats combined with courage equals a wrecking ball that hits like a freight train. It was like this for about a week and then over the last couple days I have noticed that the stacks of Courage that Anakin obtains has been cut in half compared to last week. I'm not running anything different it's the same team same mitigating factors but yet somehow some way what was the normal interactions is no longer the norm? I have this Eerie feeling that CG noticed some of these huge improvements and thus came into the game and nerfed some of these abilities. There's no other way to explain it because if I have changed nothing in regards to how I run the team then why would certain abilities and interactions change so suddenly and without cause.

StealthNerfsDon'tExistEveryone else in the arena is scrambling to keep up with the Joneses, just like you are. Your Anakin hits way harder now, yes, but your opponents' Malaks and GKs and such are also significantly harder to kill.Also, it sounds like your turn order has changed so I'm guessing that you added more speed to Anakin without thinking about it (g13 finishers and right-side G12+ pieces all add speed, remember), and he doesn't have as much time to accumulate Courage stacks before his turn comes up.

I saw someone else complain that the courage stacks don't seem right. Is it just anakin for you?My courage stacks are seeming fine, but I don't use them that much to notice.

I'm not sure what it is but I struggled against DR teams last night for some reason with my Padme. Not sure what it was, but something didn't feel right with courage. Mine are only r4 though but still didn't feel like it was one shotting them like normal.

Any chance the teams around you are just improving and catching up?

Nerfing content after Relic upgrade!

No Chance! It has nothing to do with the other squads or toons I am facing. Right after I purchased the 200.00 of product to increase Anikin to level seven relic. I noticed that because of padme's health boost and Anakin's health stats, that he was right off the bat getting 20 stacks of courage from padme. 2 days have gone by and I have not changed anything regarding the squad I am using, there mods, or any potential variable that might possible effect Anakin or the courage he is receiving. 2 days later after the relic upgrade, I am observing that anakin is only getting 10 stacks of courage. its crazy! It is very clear that after the fact alterations are occuring post gear purchase and upgrades!

My focus and problems is on the stacks of courage themselves. right after relic seven upgrade, 20 stacks of courage from Anikin from padme's zeta. I have honestly changed nothing with the squad that I run, there mods, etc. two days go by and all of a sudden anakin is only getting 10 stacks of courage. One of the main reasons why I went level seven relic on him was because of his huge protection and health stat boost, then combined that with padme's leadership abilities that grants 50% health. I knew that I would be getting huge amounts of courage for Anikin. That was the case in the beginning, but two days goes by and boom, 20 stacks to 10 stacks! This is prior to any interaction with the opposing squad. so really facing harder opponents is not a mitigating factor for my concern here. I firmly believe that CG or the developers are nerfing / manipulating post upgrades. I dont mean to accuse, but there is no other explanation to what I am seeing.

maybe I am missing something here and commenting before having all the facts, but I am able to notice in game changes when they happen. I will ask around the community and other platforms to see if others are having the same problem. thanks guys!

gr chars under padme dont get more courage because they have a higher healthpool, do they ?

as far as I understand, they get 1 stack of courage for 5% of each different protup.
so it should not matter wether they have a low or high healthpool because it is % based.

someone please correct me if I am wrong.

maybe your turnorder is somehow different and anakin is going too early ?

You are correct, courage is based on % protection up and therefore the stacks do not scale/change with health pool increases.

Two best guesses I have are your turn order changed and you have lost a source of prot up before JKA's turn, or your opponents have changed and are doing more damage (thus removing some of the prot up)
