Vader Zeta Worth It?

I’m currently sitting on 40 zetas, I’m about to unlock Darth Revan in about a week and Malak probably in about a month. Was planning on saving the zetas for all 3 of DR’s, Loyalty to the Maker for HK, and both Malak Zetas. But this Vader one seems really good and I’m curious if I should just delay my zeta progress for Sith Empire a little bit to get Merciless for Vader. Any thoughts?

    I’ve seen a lot of people upset that he counters GL Rey. Is the general thought that they’re gonna nerf him just so he doesn’t beat Rey or is he gonna get a pretty noticeable nerf that’ll make him less viable across the board? Because I’m nowhere near GL right now so if they tweaked his kit solely for facing Rey it would make no difference to me.


    At a guess Vader's kit won't be nerfed but Rey's will get a buff.


    I agree with this. I think a Rey buff to "protect" her from Vader teams is more likely than a Vader nerf. But CG has been known to use a grenade when a scalpel would work better.

  • As i wrote in another post, I like Vader as he is and only problem (maybe a little) I see in cheese characters like Wat Tambor (Thrawn too, but he is one trick pony - so no problem).

    Wat come in june 2019 and after his release was relics and OP characters. With a small upgrade to strenghten more sepparatist and weaker other faction in skills like Chiewab medpac or bactoid shield generator.

    Yes Rey probably appreciate in leader ability something as tenacity +1 % for every light side and + 5 % for every ressistance (including herself) would be nice or maybe some upgrade to her stacking mechanics.

    Possible interaction between Vader and SLKR to infuse his ultimate faster maybe a problem but I dont saw it in practise... (a possibly solution - Vader cannot against merciless massacre crit but have higher dmg in general)

    Vader zeta is worth and very fun, however if you dont have many free zetas I will wait a week :)




  • I don't care if CG tweaks a couple of kits, Vader's Merciless zeta is an incredible upgrade. Completely changes him, if you put him at lead you can stack a load of never-ending DoTs on the enemy while he is doing his 6-turn rampage. So much fun, he was a beast in the assault battle.
