Thrawn lead needs one AI change now.

It might be programmed that way because of Thrawn's unique? To make him and the fractured opponent lose turn meter while gaining the most turn meter

It does it even when there is no fracture, and it prioritizes it over using special attacks apparently. No good reason to do that at all.

That's what I was thinking, but the AI wouldn't get that. It was only a guess

Its been confirmed that the AI for Thrawn is seriously broken, stories of him only using his basic attack. Needs to be fixed ASAP.

This is a bigger wake up call to fix the AI at large. There are other characters doing ridiculous things.

Mod suggestion for Thrawn?

Nothing is wrong with either of those toons.

On offense sure but AI controlled Ashoka will use her whirlwind in the absence of buffs and R2 always uses smoke screen first.

To put that into context I run a rex chaze R2 atf team, my R2 has 243 speed and therefor smoke screens while my baze taunt is still up. That has multiple negative impacts.

1. Wastes smoke since baze is taunting
2. Allows enemy baze to clear smoke screen
3. Does not grant fire debuff before a tenacity up
4. Does not lower evasion meaning first hits may be evaded easily

Ashokas is much simpler, since she performs whirlwind first there are usually a suboptimal amount of buffs on her and the longer cooldown mitigates it's future usefulness (if she survives)

Granted there are toons which are mishandled to a severe degree but this just points to a greater issue with AI.

Frankly EA needs to work on more conditional AI or analyze arena data based on how players use the characters to determine best priority.

My job involves correlating data to come up with intelligent solutions (automated), if I can write scripts that intelligently patch servers while checking network and patch install times, surely EA can invest in a tighter more intelligent AI system.

In recent memory all of their amazing complex toolkit toons fall flat on defense due to whatever basic formula they are using, personally that makes it less likely that I will invest in a toon that requires complex situational advantage to excel.

If they want to stick to such a rudimentary battle system then they really should stick to releasing rock paper scissor characters.

Any suggestions on mods for Thrawn?

I want savage to overpower when someone is under 50%. Easiest bug fix for something we know months already.
If thrawn get fixed before, I'll be mad.
So every post that some people whine over thrawn, I'll whine about savage.

Savage's is like that because the AI doesn't change for going from lvl 7 ability upgrade to omega upgrade. Having overpower under 50% for every upgrade level for that ability before it's omega'd is apparently better according to the Devs.

Thrawn's lead should literally act as every other cleanse in game does. Only use it when there are debuffs to cleanse, hell Rex won't use his TM gain + Cleanse unless there are debuffs even if it would give his whole team enough TM to go and win the battle because it's a cleanse. Using a cleanse when there is nothing to cleanse that also does nothing is an absolute waste and is horrible for a character obtained through a legendary event.

alot of chars need that yoda does and seen vaders use culling blade on enemies with no dots and not target those with dots and no taunts active

A lot of people are confusing moves that aren't optimal like Vader culling blade, r-2 (I think it's set up right), Ahsoka, Zarris, and savage with AI that isn't rational.

Leia trying to steath with buff immunity and 50 percent of thrawns kit arent just less than optimal. They are irrational.
