Rey is the worst! She is way OP and EA needs to nerf her like they did toSidious. Some The counter attack characters are also ridiculous. Dooku

Nope. But lots of underpowered ones are out there.

As I said in another thread, I dont understand why everyone complains about Rey so much. If you run Rey, you almost have to run RG or your opponent takes her out immediately. Rey + RG's slowness and low damage, averaged, is about the same as any two high damage droid or assist characters. QGJ and GS assisting each other are just as lethal. IG88 and IG86 critting probably do more damage. Ackbar and Leia are just as deadly.Plus, all you have to do to stifle Rey is have Fives or Phasma put slow on her. Boom, 25% reduction in damage and she will probably only use each of her big attacks once (and if you run a dodge team chances are one will miss).Personally, I think Rey can be hard to use on your team because she often hits hard enough to trigger RG's taunt, which means you have to also have a char to debuff and wait for their next turn to use it while your opponent beats on Rey.Yes Rey is a threat that you have to take out early, but if you mod your chars she cant one shot them, and she is easy to take out. The fact that you have to attack her first is no different than the need to take out IG88/86, Anakin, or other high damage chars first.

Cad Bane... No seriously he's not that badI'd put Anakin ahead of Rey as far as "OP" characters... But honestly none of them are OP... Rey is a bit much sometimes but she's easy to deal with

I kill Reys all the time (you kinda have to since she's in almost every team). She's really, really good at what she does, but I don't think she's OP. Because she only does that one thing. Damage. That's all she's good for. I need to finish leveling her up and gearing her out so I can use her in raids 'n stuff.

What about Jedi Anakin. Now he is overpowered !

I keep hearing this but never have trouble with him really - I realised early on that you have to focus him down first and he's easy to deal with. Some teams you have to use a certain amount of crowd control on and especially since Anakin's a jedi, there are a bunch of toons specifically armed to take him down.

Hahahaha... Really? "I learned very early on that you have to focus him down first & he's easy to deal with"... Now with Rey I learned very early on that you have to focus her down first & she's easy to deal with... But yet you find Rey OP & not Ani. What... The... Fluffers...

You just used the same words anyone else defending Rey does & you don't find irony in that?

Rey is single target burst with no lasting side effects, Ani can blast a whole team to Hoff & still have so much health left that it takes 1-2 full team turns to burst down. Your argument in regards to Rey has just fallen flat on its face!

How exactly do you focus down Rey when she tends to go first and gains foresight?

You're right, how did I not see that she gains foresight forever? How could I be so blind?

To clarify his point... Foresight lasts one turn. If Rey has foresight you either (a) with a strong attacker, attack someone else for a turn, or (b) with a weak attacker or AOE character, attack Rey, making foresight go bye bye so that you can knock her out the next turn. In addition, Rey has two strong attacks that both have 4 turn cooldowns. If you are any good at all, she will never use either of her strong attacks more than once clbecause she will be dead within 4 turns.

No offense, but those that are complaining about Rey seem to be giving zero consideration to basic tactics. She is super easy to kill, and cant hurt you when she is dead.

Bud I was being sarcastic in that post.

I know E, but I think your sarcasm was lost on others so I was trying to clarify the point that foresight doesnt last forever...it only lasts until you hit Rey and then she goes down.

No offense but if she's so "super easy to kill", why almost every team has her? Why ppl just refuse to replace her with some other character, which is not "so easy to kill"?

rey & qgj are both super usefull on offence, not so much on defence.

Lets be clear. If shes good at killing, than shes not "so easy to kill", right? If you can easely kill a char, then this char is bad, noone will play it and you can always replace him with better one. Strange thing - noone is doing this, noone is replacing Rey. Ppl are doing exactly the opposite - whenever and wherever, someone is giving his place to Rey. Right? Silly people, eh?

No it's more like she's there so if you don't kill her or fail at killing her, she kills you. And as we all know, RNG is pretty much the best form of defense. My Ackbar team, for example, will usually win or have a good shot to win if Ackbar gets TM when called by Leia and thus gets to feed his tac genius to Rey but is a lot weaker if it doesn't proc and Phasma/QGJ/Lando gets the tac genius. This has nothing to do with Rey's survivability, just the fact that she does a ridiculous amount of damage.

Most other teams have Rey on defense for a similar reason. Yeah it's "easy" to kill her, but if you screw up by popping RG taunt, missing, or some other reason, she punishes you hard.

If your hope is on RNG, i would not call this "easy to deal the problem".

Rey is a liability to leave on defense. Against droids she won't take a 95% of the time. Droids are Meta and as a synergy team overpowered. Most of this discussion is already outdated. You guys might as well be discussing Sidious or Poe.

Three reasons. #1 She is great on offense. With the right team to protect her, she has great DPS and can help you do well in the arena. The trade off of course is that on defense, AI does not play her (or her defenders) well, so she is easily taken out.

#2 Because she is good on offense, she is also good in the GW and other non arena battles. Leveling Rey helps you play the non arena game as well.

And #3, because it is Rey, arguably the most popular char in the new Star Wars movie.

I like Rey, because there are many ways to build a team around her. I think she encourages diversity in may ways, the alternative being people farming boring droid or ewok teams or running the exact same phasma/ben meta (because without Rey, your big dps is down to Leia or GS).

Personally, I run Rey with two tanks and then rotate the other two chars to try different things.
