Rey rework

I know this won't be a new observation; but Rey is ridiculous. A character with that much damage potential needs a downside; the very fact she can foresight so easily gives her a defensive edge other characters don't have naturally to boot. Removing this would be enough, but perhaps if she has a negative effect she does less damage? Or just reduce her damage so it's more in line with other heavy hitters.

    Ray it's a great toon for us FTP player, it's farmable and it's one of the only ways to compete with the Wales of the game, it gives us a chance to do better in arena, GW and in Raids.

    And it Farley easy to kill, I stun her with Daka and after that it's game over for her
    So.... Leave Rey alone

    Specially cus I just got her to 7* today


    Exactly. I'm surprised any ftp would call for a nerf to rey. They make grand claims that she needs a nerf to "balance" the game. That's a load of bull. The only reason they cry nerf is because they are having trouble with Rey on defense. Either A: they don't have enough dps (doesn't have to be rey) or B: they haven't figured out a good strategy yet. Neither of those poor approaches are the games fault. Stop asking for nerfs and up your gameplay. There are plenty of guides you can search on how to handle rey - easily.


    I guess you're right :( sometimes we just need a bit of a moan after a particularly bad round against a Rey ;) I'm sure we've all been there :P
  • Her time will come. Remember FOTP? How about the many Leia nerfs? Let's not forget Poe! OH! Wait did I forget Barriss? So, yes she well get nerfed it's just takes time for them to get to it. The release of characters is to slow to introduce counter characters. I don't use her in arena but, I do use her in GW because I can solo with one team and switch the hard nodes with my A team.
  • Hahaha dude debuffs DO lower her offense by 25%..... Did you even read her abilities? She has low health and isn't hard to beat.... Plus almost EVERYONE has her so it's easy to learn to beat her....

    Devs seem not to care about Rey nerf. Peope asked for months already and nothing has changed so it seems they dont want to nerf her


    Because only nubs can't easily deal with Rey.
  • My strategy for Rey is kylo, savage, fives, boba, and CP. High hp can survive the double and triple hit and then either fives or savage take her out. CP boba and kylo get rid of foresight and boba blocks heals
  • Just lower the damage on her leverage ability by like 20-25% and she's perfectly fine. There's no reason that ability should do as much/more than flurry, especially when she gets foresight or offense up from it.
  • I slowed my Rey to go after the opponents Rey. She get foresight mine takes it away and gets it. I switched Leia for HRS. He goes 2nd and special may stun and may get Crit. He goes again if he does. If he Trips RG then QGJ hits. To build a Good team you have to think each step out and practice. Mods now let you design your teams action by moving your speed around

    I like how your counter to Rey is Kylo ^^
