Obi-Wan TAAAANK????

Why is he considered a tank if the AI wont attack him EVER. Ive been using him on arena and he is not attacked ONCE. The enemy team only attacks him once everyone else is already dead.

On that note, if someone is attacking me why would anyone chose to attack him first seeing that killing him brings a bunch of benefits for my team. Why would you have a tank that isnt attacked?

  • There are several "last to kill" toons that AI won't target until later in the match.
    5's and Obi are 2 of these.
  • Hmm. With all the crazy language filters, that's the one that gets through.

    Kudos OP
  • In my opinion, a tank doesnt need to draw attacks to him to protect the team. Old Ben method of doing it is offense down, ability block and turn meter removal. Also evasion if his leader (although it is currently bugged). You might like taunters better, but that doesnt mean Obi Wan cant protect his buddies.
  • I think OWK needs additional debuffs available to his Mind Tricks, or maybe an additional special. Right now he can Ability Block for 1 turn and Offense Down for 2 turns, with a 65% chance to remove 60% TM. That's a good start. Now if he could also apply, say, Defense Down for 1 turn and 25% Speed Down for 2 turns. Applying all at once is too much, so give him another special Mind Tricks 2. This way he could keep stacking debuffs on the enemy in consecutive turns. If you ignore him, you'll find yourself with Offense Down, Defense Down, and Speed Down.
    Either that, or reduce his cooldown to 3 or 4 turns. You've got to give the opposition a reason to need him gone. Of course, then they have to deal with his departing buffs, but Asajj could just wipe those right off the board.
    Right now, there's just no reason to attack him early. He's slightly annoying, but can be mostly ignored until last.

    He doesn't mean taunting. He means the AI completely ignore Obi-Wan till the end.


    Well this is true. But I think the real problem is that ai is really dumb, the way I see it, we shouldnt complain because Obi is not attacked, we should complain because savage or whatever high hp pool gets attacked before the glass cannons have been focused down. If this were fixed, my post would make more sense.
    Dont get me wrong, I would love my Old Ben to be first man down, but i think he does a correct tank job in the right team.
  • I dont think the AI should hit the tank first Im just saying that the randomness should be random. AI DOES NOT HIT Kenobi AT ALL, he only gets hit with AOE attacks and I think that must be a bug. He was supposed to be awesome, he has great debuffs and buffs (when killed) but his special skill is 5 turns cd which renders him basically useless after 1 use and he simply not dies. Honestly if EA nerfed his life I think he could be a lot better as people might try to take him down earlier. I got him cuz I thought he would be awesome but his special skill is pretty random and Ive not yet gottem him killed. He will probably leave my squad in the next few days. Needs to be reworked
