Unfortunately. He’s a good character, but still falls short in multiple areas, one being Defense. His kit, while simple to control, is a complicated one (an obvious attempt to try and counter Traya). This is still not our Savior for the Sith/Empire Meta. He ultimately plays second fiddle to them, but at least is better than all other characters. Maybe Jedi Rey or Jedi Luke will finally put LS over the top again.

To make arena interesting, every faction needs to be made viable. The only trouble there is that if everyone is balanced, there would be no point in changing your team, meta keeps character development happening unfortunately. It’ll never end or there would be no need to farm anyone else

"Pretty good" is still, you know, pretty good. If the only bar you ever use is "does it beat the most wildly overpowered arena team in the game right now," then 98% of all new characters are going to suck. Raids exist. Territory wars exist. Everything doesn't have to be ARENA ARENA ARENA.I haven't seen anyone comment yet on his use as a non-lead under, say, Bastila or GMY. Obviously he's designed to be a strong leader, but I feel like someone will find some sneaky synergy under somebody else.Also: it's been one freaking day. Give people a chance to tinker with him and use some different comps.

I’m gonna actually admit something here. Not that I was wrong (AS IF!), but that I purposely lied to try and soften the impact for those not being able to acquire him 1st time around. >:)

I wonder how weak revan would be if they removed the built-in AI to target traya :D what a joke by devs, shows the complete lack of innovation

CLS, han, chewie, r2, thrawn took out a revan lead pretty easily. He's very squishy, though he comes back once. Went up against Revan, GK, hyoda, gmy, bast, which seems to be a popular squad right now (zezra is another, subbed for bast). Maybe will all 3 zetas he'll be a bigger threat. Killed revan, revan again, gmy, gk, bast, match.

He is a hard counter to Traya, that can be countered on defence..... It is exactly how it should be ...

There should never be an "I have these toons I win" team. Mirror matches are boring...

Edited to remove swearing shorthand. - EA_Cian

No, instead there are "I have this much money I win" teams.

Everything you just said is 100%.........wrong though.

If that’s the goal (and I would personally like it, but I know many won’t) The way you do that is to make certain factions counter other factions. Then, in arena, eliminate choice for who you get to attack. This way, if you have to face faction A you might might need faction X, but for faction B you might need faction Y and so forth. You would be required to use a variety of teams if you want to climb efficiently.

Revan owns the arena in my shard. Seems up to snuff.

Also imagine the outrage if they brought out one character that did everything. Everyone would go crazy with anger because one person could do all that. Oh wait. CLS. JTR. Palp. Traya.

Remember how nightsisters zombie can revive someone 2 or 3 times? Revan seems to be a great character. And actually well balanced. They did a good job on the kit. I'm glad we have left the 1 team meta place behind. You can actually have fun.

Maybe there's a Jedi Sion coming out. And what I mean is May a Jedi tank that will work well with Revan and really bolster the defense side of things.

Thanks man. But i think most of us level headed traya/non-revan users knew a day after his release that he destroyed traya. ;P

I think people took a little bit to sort out the mods and comps needed. I think he is pretty good now. He's not a $500 toon but he is certainly meta and will win on D 25 percent of the time vs most meta comps which is really the best you can ask for. 25% is huge deterrent compared to 2%

Good for them for putting some effort to make sure ai target traya. Cuz thats what everyone one of us would...and for a extememly rare moment...they finally didnt go as normal and throw out a bozo the clown ai. Gj devs on that one. One small step towards right.
