Like most new characters, I have to read the kit 50 times to fully digest everything considering how complex they are. One of the things I’ve seen people kind of freaking out about is you can’t damage other 501st allies while Anakin isn’t in cover, meaning first you have to strip his protection and then when he’s in cover you have to quickly defeat everyone else before he comes out of cover. True, but read the ability again:“Other 501st allies can’t lose HEALTH.” The operative word being health. This means you can still strip away all their protection before sending Anakin into cover so that they are much easier to kill. That is a big distinction. They CAN be damaged, they just can’t lose health. Thus, it seems like one of the strategies to defeating the team will be to remove as much protection from Anakin’s allies as possible, then send him into cover, then quickly kill the allies.This also makes modding interesting. Do you mod his allies for tons of protection so it takes longer to remove it or do you mod them for tons of health so they survive longer when Anakin is in cover?Hmmm....

He is g11 for 95% of the 0.01% getting him. Means he is a one shot to ani relic7 char with any ability. After that just kill clones?No Shaak Ti = no tm fun for clones...G11 with G12 was still ok. But g11 with relic7 is a blatant joke.

I think the big problem under Ani is going to be the 2nd taunt, 5s, especially if he has that zeta where he super buffs clones if he's not killed first. So you'll need to wear down Ani, then break through 5s before Ani retaunts without killing another clone, or you're really toast. Hopefully the AI will be dumb and have 5s taunt while Ani is taunting so you can focus down 5s before getting Ani to cover. Then once ani is toppled (cover), finish off 5s and start on rex before he can one shot anyone your team.Having 2 counterattacking, taunting tanks with high damage dealers behind them is not going to be a fun battle.

Anakin cannot be killed. Give him Medpack and he recovers very fast. Not to mention he gets 50% TM each opponents turn while he is the last standing (with Blastech Weapon Mod)

Aye - when he goes into cover he removes all status effects (including friendly ones), and can't be targeted, so no applying new ones

Something overlooked in Anakin’s leadership

Yes but you can stun lock him.

R7 Rex lead, Chewie, Solo, Lando and ST Han? Guard on Lando so he can’t be dazed/critically hit. Spam aoe? Would probably work if Lando wasn’t terrible.

Funny, My desire was to burn GAS to cover ASAP so you can actually target 5s. Then just focus on 5s until he's dead. Shouldn't take too long with the right comp

Then again, I am planning on going ahead of them too. 5s should taunt before i burn him down, but that will only help me focus on him when GAS pops out of cover.

I guess it all comes down to who you want counterattacking you. Might need to mix it up a bit (target ani if you have speed down already, otherwise 5s).
