Why is smoke screen priority?I use Zinn resistantance and r2 does smoke screen every time.R2 has a good aoe, especially when exposes are spread out from poe, but he won't use it. He has a great stun, but again if his cooldowns are reset like they always are under Zinn he will almost always do smoke screen. This is a waste of r2 full potential. Please send to feedback

I think using smoke first is a great design actually. it makes enemy focus fire on pretaunter first turn, if they don't have AOE dispeller or plo koon lead

If he uses burning first, then enemy can choose who to attack more easily and that is bad on defense

Im not against him using it, but it could be balanced. Since gw got easy I've been doing gw on auto and watching the ai control toons.Smoke screen 90% of the time.No wonder resistantance can't win on defense. R2, one if the best toons in the game is doing nothing, 3 or 4 toons already have stealth and smoke screen again.

Smoke screen or for that matter any ability that focuses the enemy to a certain target is always priority because it usually is the best/is the best option for defence which again seems to take priority. However is this case I agree this is puzzling.

Seems to me abilities should be done in turns.Other abilities have opposite problem. They never get used.Would be simple allow players to prioritize toon abilities

Its what the above statement says. Under Resistance R2 (like the others) has his CDs reduced/reset. R2 is used in almost all top arena teams. However, hes not used under ZFinn, he is used under others. So he typically uses Smoke Screen 99% off the bat. He will then AoE and basic attack until CD expires. Its simple AI logic. Thats why defense doesnt win much unless their gear/mod superiority to you.

Hope that helps explain why.

Pretty much. R2's behavior is perfectly acceptable with Rebels and other factions (almost any that aren't zFinn Resistance apparently) because he's not getting his cooldowns constantly reduced.

Anyway, if R2's behavior needs a review, then maybe Poe's behavior does too. With a proper zFinn squad, all he does is spam taunt! :)

The devs have said that if they fix the AI for Resistance, the game would break. So, don't count on any changes any time soon.

I believe that was about targetting exposes instead of just random enemies.

So they’ll break the game with CLS but resistance can’t be fixed?

Instead, they chose to push a new resistance leader that doesn't really work well with the OG resistance faction.

Thats a lie. She works great with the original Resistance characters. She allows a single team solo of P3 & P4 in HAAT where they couldnt do that before, just one.

Now in arena yes, you are correct. Its a mix. She works best with BB8 & R2 and then some mix of other persona.

It’s great because it protects your team front counter attacks. Especially useful against CLS teams.
