Omicron Ability Update: Admiral Ackbar

Not the greatest I've seen so far.

P-Leia, Rolo, & Cholo all seem obvious if you have the Lukes & those 3 are Relic'd.

Options for 5th....... throw in Old Ben, R2, 3PO, etc etc.

Might be a good cleanup team with Chaze, Leia and perhaps StHan.

Whenever ?
If you put C3-PO as one of the 2 weakest characters, won't it make a loop ?

If you're going to make omicron abilities like this, the mats have to be less premium. This is zeta quality at best, even without the GAC limitation.

It won't because if you have C-3PO, chances are you already have the main CLS team as is. And breaking C-3PO away from them is, for lack of better words, a very confusing unga bunga moment.

The problem is that C3PO's basic attempts to inflict debuffs, so it counts as an attack.

There is some confusion relating to Admiral Ackbar's Omicron ability, which states "If all allies are Rebel, whenever an ally's buff expires, they gain 3% Turn Meter."

In this case, "they" refers to the ally whose buff is expiring.

We will change the text in a future update to provide more clarity.

Speaking of who "they" are.

Who's Cooldowns are reduced? I read it as the unit that used the non-damaging ability reduces their own Cooldowns, but other are telling me it's the allies that are called to assist?

Leader - REBEL COORDINATION
OLD FINAL TEXT: Rebel allies have +25 Speed and +10% Tenacity. In addition, whenever an ally uses an ability that isn't an attack, they call a Rebel ally to Assist.

NEW FINAL TEXT (OMICRON): Rebel allies have +25 Speed and +10% Tenacity. In addition, whenever an ally uses an ability that isn't an attack, they call a Rebel ally to Assist.

While in Grand Arenas: At the start of battle, all allies gain Tenacity Up for 2 turns. If all allies are Rebel, whenever an ally's buff expires, they gain 3% Turn Meter. In addition, if all allies are Rebel, whenever an ally uses an ability that isn't an attack, recover all allies' Health by 5%, call the other 2 weakest allies to assist, and reduce their cooldowns by 1.

Seriously, you guys have *got* to get better at wording things without ambiguity. You need templated wording where the community can read the ability and *know* what something does instead of having to guess until you come in and clarify how something is supposed to work. I went from being excited about this and spending a pretty decent amount of time reviewing options and putting together a post meant to encourage discussion and theorycrafting (all pro-community things that you should encourage) to just being frustrated and uninterested due to the ambiguity in the wording.

Since there was confusion about who was being granted turn meter, based on the placement of a comma, you need to settle this as well:

In addition, if all allies are Rebel, whenever an ally uses an ability that isn't an attack, recover all allies' Health by 5%, call the other 2 weakest allies to assist, and reduce their cooldowns by 1.

Whose cooldowns are being reduced? The "other 2 weakest allies"? or is the comma implying that the cooldowns being reduced are for the "ally uses an ability that isn't an attack"? It certainly seemed, at first reading, that it was the 2 weakest allies.

If you want to reduce ambiguity, the ability should be worded something like this:

In addition, if all allies are Rebel, whenever an ally uses an ability that isn't an attack, reduce that character's cooldowns by 1, recover all allies' Health by 5%, and call the other 2 weakest allies to assist.

Or like this:

In addition, if all allies are Rebel, whenever an ally uses an ability that isn't an attack, call the other 2 weakest allies to assist and reduce their cooldowns by 1, and recover all allies' Health by 5%.

Depending on intent. Please clarify.

P.S. While we're clarifying things, please also clarify what "the other 2 weakest allies" means. The other 2 weakest allies not counting the one using the ability that isn't an attack? The other 2 weakest allies other than Ackbar?

I have a question about Omicrons and if they are in addition to the current ability or if they override.

I'm curious because if they are in addition, Akbar will still give out the 25 percent speed and with the Omi, will call out three people to assist on non damaging abilities ( one with the current lead, two with the Omi ).

Also, in regards to the two " weakest " characters: is this locked in at the start or does it change as the battle goes on? And this is based on health or health + protection?

I just slapped the Omi on Akbar yesterday, so I won't know how he does until next week.

Weakest = current lowest hp+prot char
