Royal Guard viable in pvp now?
With the rework of his special taunt being a guarantee, along with his turn meter gain every time someone else gets hit, can he be a viable Dps stopgap for pvp matches? He's got a nice deep health poo...

He is going to be the new Poe, you hear it here first
no worries, like the new poe, it will be nerfed/reworked/rebalanced soon.
He is a much tougher farm than Poe though. I don't think most of the players are able to abuse him for a while.
He can't do a time bubble at the fastest speed either. Taunt was not the reason why Poe was strong. It was because of the ability to move your entire team before enemy blinked
He will taunt right after your first shot. The regardless of how fast your dps is (unless you one-shot, but with bariss in lead it is difficult to one-shot)
Yes but then I still keep acting with my guys. Big difference.
Let's take abmatch between a droid team and a pretty cookie vuttrt Sid, Dooku, Kylo, Phasma (L) FOTP team.
Before:
His Poe wins the Coin toss. His Poggle buff. His 88 AOE, then kill my Sid with the extra attsck from crits. His 86 one shot my Dooku. His 47 AOE and maybe block or debuff my remaining and very wounded chars, and perhaps kills FOTP or any character who got exposed if he attacks twice with the crits. In any case, I've lost, 2-3 of my chars are dead, the rest are wounded and debuffed, I have to kill his tank, and probably will lose
Now:
Dooku attacks, Wound 88, RG taunt for free. That's fine. My Turn. Sid AOE, damage 88 and the rest. Phasma adds adventage and TM. Kylo AOE and finish 88, maybe proc Phasma as he is FO. FOTP kills the wounded RG. Sid has maybe gained TM from the deaths too. Now it is Droid turn. They have 88 dead, RG dead, and 86 and the rest has taken 2 AOE, I still have Phasma AOE to use. His tank is dead and I can target anyone of his bsdly wounded chars. I'm in pretty good shape.
Poe was powerful not because he taunted, but because he was a walking time bubble. In scenario 1 the droids have already won, and Poe has not been attacked yet. His skill could not have a Taunt, just the turnmeter msnipulation at fasyer speed, and he would had won the battle regardless.
I think some people never really understood why they were winning with Poe. It was not because he had a taunt.
After reading this RG post, I was wondering if the REBEL team could use him. The one you recommended me. I was thinking Ackbar (L), Han Stormtrooper, Leia, GS, and RG. Leia stealths first. Gs takes one cannon out or prob bring someone low. Han with Ackbar goes pretty quick, like 144 speed. Once he taughts and gets hit, turn meter manipulation and chance for RG to taunt. So even if Han can't take that many hits i'll still have RG with huge amount of health to tank it while Leia and GS with super speed taking the rest out.
I'm still working on the REBEL team. Currently Leia is 7* with GEAR VII almost VIII after I finish that AGI +25 thingy, needs 50 of it. Ackbar almost 6* Han almost 7* . Hope it works out.
BTW I have tons of shards for RG, like 283 or something. Still aint sure if I should invest in him.
