Question about Palpatine and his unique

I also would like an answer to this. Seems like crackling doom actually worked way better before the rework.

It damaged the enemies at the beginning of their respective turns. It doesn't work like plague, it eats up protection first

The rework changed how it works.
It now does unmitigated damage (damage numbers show in white) equal to 20% health based (it doesn't ignore protection) on 3 possible factors at the start of the opponents turn not at end of EP turn.
20% for rebel 20% for Jedi and 20% for shocked.
So for 25k health it will do 5k damage for each scenario if the conditions are met.
It is like have 4 dots on a character for each condition.

With 40k + protection on a character you are not going to see lots of damage done.

Since the damage is now unmitigated it will ignore armor/resistance and will not crit.
It does work but with 4x speed it is hard to see it happening

ANDDDDDDD.....it happens at the beginning of enemy's activation so its very easy to miss. It used to do the damage at the end of palp's turn which was much easier to note

especially with how many turns you take. If the opponents never take turns than no damage.

Yeah, I'm really not a fan of this part. I understand that they boosted the damage per each condition, but now you can't get TMR on shocked enemies under Zader lead, and you might not be getting as much damage out of it in the long run. Shock on a fractured enemy is next to useless aside from the TM gain from EP's second special.

Yeah it takes away some interesting synergies now that it is on opponents turn. It was fun running him under krennic lead in TB and ability blocking all rebels whenever ep took a turn.

Yeah :c Although he actually has a decent protection pool with the zeta unique which is nice that he doesn't just get steamrolled by a stray rebel AOE in TB hahaha.

I am using a JTR team and I haven’t lost to a Palpatine team yet on offense. I lose to everybody on defense. So it’s not changing my game just yet.

its not great on defense but a lot of fun on offense, theres no team i won't fight on the way up and jtr is probably the easiest
