Omicron Ability Update: Darth Sidious

CHANGES MARKED IN GREEN

UNIT NAME: Darth Sidious
ALIGNMENT: Dark Side
CATEGORIES: Dark Side, Sith, Leader, Attacker
Brutal Attacker effective against Healers and Jedi while boosting allied Criticals as a Leader

------

Basic: DEATHSTROKE

FINAL TEXT: Deal Physical damage to target enemy and inflict Healing Immunity for 3 turns with a 50% chance (doubled if the target is debuffed) to ignore Defense.

Special: DEMORALIZING BLOWS (Cooldown 4)

FINAL TEXT: Deal Physical damage to all enemies and inflict Damage Over Time and Expose for 2 turns. This attack inflicts two additional Damage Over Time effects on a Critical Hit.

Leader - UNLIMITED POWER
FINAL TEXT: All allies gain 15% Critical Chance and 30% Critical Damage. Sith allies gain 2% Offense until the end of encounter when they score a Critical Hit.

Unique: SADISTIC GLEE

Old Final Text (ZETA): Darth Sidious recovers 20% of his Max Health and gains 50% Turn Meter whenever any unit is defeated. In addition, he has +35% Evasion against Jedi attacks, +50% Potency, and gains Max Health equal to his Potency percentage.

New Final Text (ZETA/OMICRON): Darth Sidious recovers 20% of his Max Health and gains 50% Turn Meter whenever any unit is defeated. In addition, he has +35% Evasion against Jedi attacks, +50% Potency, and gains Max Health equal to his Potency percentage.

While in Territory Wars: If all allies are Sith at the start of battle, Sith allies gain Max Health equal to half of Darth Sidious' Potency until the first time he is defeated (excludes Galactic Legends). When Darth Sidious uses Demoralizing Blows, the cooldown of the ability is reduced by 1 for each other Sith ally and Darth Sidious gains 50 Speed for 4 turns.

    No Damage increase? Smashing wet noodle AoE over and over is still going to do poor damage if he hits as he hits now. Not impressive at all...
  • the DOTs from back to back AOEs should deal significant damage

    The only weaknesses of his omicron is if he gets ability blocked or stunned he can't stack +200 speed, and if another sith ally dies, he's AOE will be on cooldown, which isn't tough to do against a Sith team

    It also inflicts expose. Which will just stack up and deal a significant amount of damage, regardless of how hard the ability itself hits.
