So if I don't spend that zeta it reads
Unique: Righteous Fury
Level 7: Whenever another ally falls below 50% Health or is defeated, Anakin takes a bonus turn and his next attack deals 100% more damage.
and I can still use him in a JKR squad to bash DR's? Trollface

The way the description is formatted and colored, the IF part only happens for zeta.
Yes. Don't zeta anakin if he's gonna go to revan team..

The zeta is confusing--took me a good five mins to wrap my head around it; "if all living and defeated allies are Galactic Republic" would be way less confusing than "if all allies were Galactic Republic at the start of battle." The way it is, it makes it seem like it's possible for units to gain or lose the Galactic Republic tag mid-battle.

I literally just made another post about that:

“Anakin takes a bonus turn and his next attack deals 100% more damage if all allies were Galactic Republic at the start of battle. ”

The phrase I’m looking at is “at the start of the battle.” Why didn’t they just say “if all allies are Galactic Republic.” Does that mean there is going to be some way to start the battle with all Galactic Republic but end the battle with a non-Galactic Republic character?? Some new character skill that allows you to steal an opponent’s character or something? A character turning from light side to dark side mid-battle? Something else?

The only possibility is a changeling lol.

So, if you don't zeta JKA he will still work in a JKR team and gain bonus turns and bonus damage like he has done so far?

The way it's "coloured" the if-statement doesn't apply until the zeta upgrade.

So basically if you zeta him, you'll lose synergy with jedi squads and gain Padme-synergy?

Should have made if not full galactic to still have bonus like 50%... jesus removing the entire bonus damage is lame af

Yea, removing the bonus damage is just an attempt to protect malak. Totally lame it was the only solid counter for those of us who didn't " read the tea leaves" and predict there would be an event that requires 10x 7star characters that must be above exactly 17500 power just to enter the event......smh

This still leaves the NS zombie strategy mostly intact. His kit should have been like this :

Whenever a GALACTIC REPUBLIC ally falls below 50% Health or is defeated Anakin takes a bonus turn. And his next attack deals 100% more damage IF THE GALACTIC REPUBLIC ALLY IS ALSO JEDI.

There problem solved! No zombie cheese, or potential future cheese with quick dying characters. Plus the malak offensive counter is still viable...

Frequently Asked Questions:
-----

• Q: Does the "if" qualifier apply to both the bonus turn and the bonus damage or only the bonus damage?
  
• A: There are two "If" statements. The first sentence/statement says the bonus damage is conditional on if you have a full team of Galactic Republic allies but not for Anakin's bonus turn. You only need another ally to drop below 50% to trigger Anakin's Bonus Turn. Then the second sentence is a separate statement, Padme takes a bonus turn after Anakin if she is an ally
  

Both of the "if" statements are color coded as if being added by the zeta ability. So if he doesn't have the zeta, he should still do the +100% damage on a JKR team?

We wont nerf anakin.

Oh wait

ETA: Also, shouldn't this thread be under Dev Announcement and News?

@Darth_DeVito for some reason all kit reveals and rework reveals go under Arena/Character Strategy. Which is a bummer because our webhook on discord doesn't catch it, but it is what it is.

If Padmé Amidala is an ally, she takes a bonus turn after each of Anakin's bonus turns.

Simple fix.

Very nice fix.

But is it necessary to specify "at the start of the battle"? That seems odd unless they are adding some mechanic where when Padme dies in battle, Anakin morphs into Emo Anakin and loses his Galactic Republic tag.

Emo Anakin then is granted the Sith Apprentice tag.

He gains a new ability: "Noooooooooooooooooooo" where he screams and stuns all allies and enemies which can't be dispelled or copied.

If General Kenobi is present, his stun is immediately dispelled and he gains a new ability: "High Ground" which instantly defeats Emo Anakin and ends the encounter/battle.

Jedi Knight Anakin is then placed on roster cooldown for one hour or until you win a battle with both Darth Vader and Emperor Palpatine present.
