Omicron Ability Update: Admiral Ackbar

CHANGES MARKED IN GREEN

UNIT NAME: Admiral Ackbar
ALIGNMENT: Light Side
CATEGORIES: Light Side, Support, Leader, Fleet Commander
Rebel Support that can Dispel debuffs and grant allies extra turns.

------

Basic: QUICK SHOT

FINAL TEXT: Deal Physical damage to target enemy with a 55% chance to gain 45% Turn Meter.

Special 1: IT'S A TRAP! (Cooldown 4)

FINAL TEXT: Dispel all negative status effects from all allies. Each ally recovers 9% of their Max Health for each effect dispelled this way. Admiral Ackbar has a 25% chance to gain 40% Turn Meter.

Special 2 - TACTICAL GENIUS (Cooldown 3)

FINAL TEXT: Ackbar grants each ally the Tactical Genius effect. The first ally to use a Special ability while they have this effect gains 100% Turn Meter and recovers 30% of their Max Health. Tactical Genius ends whenever any ally triggers this effect or at the end of Ackbar's next turn.

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.

    So it turns out Ackbar’s omicron actually works by replacing the random assist with the 2 other weakest ally assists, instead of both happening.

    … sigh.


    Always expect CG to be incompetent or want to trick you into spending valuable resources on useless stuff.
    You'll rarely be surprised that way.


    Useless? Wrong, little to no people have seen the potential of this omicron alongside MM, you'll have a Rebel Fighters team more threatning and thicker than with normal MM, on pair with Leia's omicron, this will be unstopabble


    The loss of the extra random assist makes a big difference.

    How would this be thicker than a mon mothma lead? There is no stat sharing unless mon mothma is leading. She still provides healing every turn on her own team. Kyle Katarn would have no where to be if you're not running mon mothma.

    This omicron had potential to be better than mon mothma lead when there was a third assist from a non attack. Not any more. Remember there are 5 assists for any action at all on a mon mothma lead. Ackbar is only upto 4 max now, and only when you do a non-attack action.


    With Ackbar and Leia omicron you'll have all the regen you need, let's not forget about the cooldown decreasing, making possible creating TM loops almost as consistent as with HRS

    I'm planning on using Ackbar, Leia, MM, Pao and Cara Dune, hopefully this will still work out better than an normal MM team, otherwise, I'll just change the last 3 with other of the JML requirements.

    I love how everyone who says this is great, also says that they haven't tried it and are only planning to do so.
    I wonder why.


    Why? The answer is not because I'm afraid of using one omicron to prove I'm right or not, the reason is because

    1. I don't own that omicron yet, half-way through, I'll get back here once I get it and tested, don't worry about it, I'll let you know if I failed or it's working just as I thought
    2. I don't have those specific rebels ready to go yet https://swgoh.gg/p/692141595/characters/ but I'm working on them

    No, I'm not afraid of "wasting" the omicron, I just can't test it right out the get-go because reasons

    Added the omicron to Ackbar today however, there is still no zeta 1 symbol on him. Is this to be expected? All omicron's I've seen so far have added the symbol. (purple +1 at the bottom, if I'm not being clear)


    Yes, it is intended, because Ackbar does not own a zeta

    I have the omicron and so far, it's doing it's job. It's had a couple of holds on defense ( most notable was against a geo team ) while others didn't want to mess around and brought in better teams to take it out ( lost to CLS team with 3PO, lost to Shak Troopers, lost to Night Sisters ) which I'll take because it means taking away one of their better offensive options against one one of my later, better defensive teams.

    I don't have the Leia omi yet, but I should have it next week.
