Just curious how folks think about deploying the new version of Finn.With him as leader, I think all that really changes is you have to pay more attention to your other two characters. You're still going Finn, Poe, Trooper, but then I think you're going to want another reliable Expose, so you take Pilot, and Rose's stun will keep any opponent whose TM is creeping up from taking a turn. I sure wish Shock Prod had a lower cooldown, though... But the incredibly short cooldown on Takedown combined with the damage boost to subsequent (not sequential, thankfully, since keeping TM down is going to be like whack-a-mole) hits is interesting.Although I'm really thinking I want to try him under Jedi Rey and just machine gun Takedown so long as he's not debuffed.

And miss this thread with the "I plan on deploying him to the garbage can" nonsense. There's a dozen threads where you can be salty, go to one of them.

I don’t want to be salty. Just peppery.

I'm assuming you are talking PvP.Yeah I use 5* Rose with him now and they can permastun entire teams already. Her cool down on the stun is about every other turn.And although Finn has a taunt hes really a damage dealer. So I think maybe Holdo may work. She and Finn amd Poe will ping-pong Taunts and Finn and Holdo can heal and Holdo provides Foresight and AOE daze. I think AOE daze + his new lead is going to be the best way to keep the other team from moving.So, my Theorycraft right now would be Finn, Poe, Holdo, Rose +1. Scav, RT or RP would all work. But Probably RP as he provides another source of foresight for Holdo to taunt and saves Scav and RT for JTR. I dont have 3P0 so can't Theorycraft for him. I'm sure hed be great as the +1 too.

Never zetad his lead, but there's a chance I'll try him under JTR now. Taunt, heal and stun spam for PVP, stacking raid damage.

Trooper will give you a lot more exposes off his basic, and his 55% TM when someone becomes exposed will be much more important with only 15% TM gain off Finn's leader ability.Holdo has a lot of uses, but I don't know if I like her under Finn as much as I did before this change. Although the 60% potency his leader ability gives will make modding her easier.

I think he’s going to be more viable as an add now than a leader, unless you’re set on running two squads. I don’t right now, mostly just use him in raids, but I’m interested to see if he might be a swap for maybe Scav Rey in places.

I always get confused on what a 1-turn cooldown really means. Under Jedi Rey, so long as he's unbuffed, Takedown will effectively have a 1-turn cooldown, so I forget if that means he'll be able to use it every turn or every other turn. In either case, that ramping damage will be NUTS in the sith raid.

Finn Poe Trooper Pilot Rose
JTR Holdo ScavRey R2 BB8

And run C3PO somewhere else.

Just Planning though, Rose and Holdo still at 5* G8.

The +60% potency just Screams Holdo to me. She has like 2% base potency. We will see.
