New meta (rey)

I don‘t see why so many ppl complain about her... she is a stronger lead than zFinn, which people havn‘t yet realized, apparently.
It‘s not about what she single-handedly does, but what she provides for the whole Resistance Team.
She hands out exposes more consistently (70% non-counterable effect, for crits and at least I get them rather frequently.....), gives cd reduction and TM on applying expose, not hitting that expose... making you less reliant on speed, being able to hit that one toon AND she can turn down debuffs on her relatively consistent as well. Theoretically, every 2 debuffs out of 5 negates ALL debuffs on her.
Plus she effectively regenerates 10% of her maximum LP (health and protection) every turn, while negating one attack against her (not to mention she can naturally evade as well).


And the biggest point:
We have no clue whatsoever as to what characters and their abilities Resistance will get now, that episode 8 has been released (which very easily can be part of the Devs talk about perfect composition for Rey)

I am VERY unimpressed. I've faught her some and the teams in her were a lot easier to beat.

I should have known how bad she was by EA's NEED to have Not really a Jedi go on all the youtuber videos and say how great she was in D and that there was a secret team that was the best out there.

And all the game changers trying to sell us on how good she is, is just sad. It feels like ATF again.

She's too slow and needs a better (if this is their new AI maybe they should try the old one) and more than anything else some damage. A Wet noodle would be an upgrade.

I don’t have much experience fighting Resistance, we had 1 in our top 50 that was a free win. But I have now tried going up against a new JTR Resistance team that popped up and you seem to be correct. That JTR, Finn, BB8, Poe, R2 team is light years better than other Resistance team that was in the top 50. No comparison. zSolo can completely shut down zFinn teams just be shooting him first. Not possible with JTR. She fuels the TM gain as well if not better and adds to the effect with the TM removal. And stunning her or any other toon doesn’t really alter the effect. Unlike with Finn where stunning the right people killed the team.

Wow, Im shocked at how many people are already complaining about a hero's journey toon! I do hope it works out for all the people who put in the tremendous effort required to acquire JRey! I assume if you've spent money on this toon you can't get your money refunded if you are displeased with the product and that would be horrible for the game if those players left. Im sure more will be revealed this week, maybe some new content that she will be a key player in...good luck!

Take into account that she could even get some huge rework after the last film of the trilogy.

LOL I wouldn't make such long term plans :-) Further more Scavenger didn't get any rework

We paid to get her now so she should work now.

Might be a lesson there...somewhere...

She's a very good leader for resistance in arena. The reason why you're saying mods are to blame for the video's being decieving, kind of shows you don't even know the units abilities. BB8 gives himself and R2 16%TM to start the match. BB8 then gives rey 8%TM when he uses secret intel. Rey than can attack / call bb8 to assist / have bb8 call her to assist in 1 move, granting even more TM gains. R2 could then go again and use his burn to attack 5, adding even more TM.

The squad has a ton of potential. Rey, BB8, and R2 are part of it. What new toons / reworks that are yet to come will determine how good it can be. The leader ability itself is just awesome for arena.

Is this the new meta or what ?

I’m going to go with “or what.”

Rey had her two days in the arena, and now she’s done.
