I think there may be some more to this rework than most have thought. With Qi'ra becoming farmable recently, i decided to see what works well under her lead ability. When i saw Cad Bane's rework, i initially thought it was average. not great not bad, just made him playable and he could survive longer. But after I looked at the synergy between Qi'ra and Cad Bane, it was surpising. Cad Bane gains a lot more survivability under Qi'ra! he'll crit all the time under her lead (his 30% from unique + 20% from Qi'ra lead + mods/base crit chance). He lands debuffs now and that gives him more survival ability with his unique. Qi'ra turns this rather slow bounty hunter into a pretty fast one for this one simple reason.....he's a support character. Unlike a majority of other bounty hunters who are attackers, Cad Bane is unique in that he is a support. So under Qi'ra lead, every time he crits he's gaining +20 speed which will stack up to +60 speed, giving him a speed of 185 before mods. Pretty fast! The synergy between Qi'ras Joint Operation SA and Cad Bane is really good to, making the good effects in that attack benefit both Qi'ra and Cad.

There is something to this rework, it just isn't obvious. I'm sure there are some other cool combos and syenrgies out there, so it'll be fun to see what people come up with. This is just one of the ideas i discovered so i thought i'd share it with you all.

Agree. He procs her prepared a lot too. Ive been testing Qira Vandor Zalbar Young Han and Cad for the last week. A light side scoundrel would be better, but he works pretty well and does a lot of damage.

Qira lead for him is ok, but no contract. I actually used him as lead with zam, jawa engineer, jawa scav, and nebit for a pretty amusing bomb line in Tw.
in the low tier str i use bossk lead, cad, zam, jawa engineer, and jawa scavenger. same result, bombs for days.
