Like the title says. Who are some of your half-favorite (or totally favorite) characters that get little to no love?? I can't help but think of assaj ventress. I admit it seems like she could wind up having a mediocre showing if her mass dispel isn't timed right or if you can't seem to launch her AoE when she has offense/crit chance up (from her unique)... it really is all about timing with her and of course her stun isn't reliable. But when her stun procs and/or she gets off one or two AoE attacks with Offense/Crit Chance up and/or she gets a dispel off when the other team has multiple buffs + a taunt, I'd say she can walk away from an arena match/ PvE encounter being your MVP. It feels funny putting her on an arena defense team however... I imagine her using her dispel at the wrong times/ using her basic instead of her AoE when she has offense + crit chance up. Anyone know if the AI for ventress has been fixed?Also have to shout out to magmatrooper. Not sure if he had a rework but it seems like he deserves way more love than he is getting. Can you think of a "mass turn meter removal" ability/ character?? Magmatrooper is it! Also removes turn meter on his basic and gains tons of turn meter whenever he suffers a debuff/ resists a debuff. He gets lots of turns and makes sure the opponents get less.Honorable mention is your boy teebo. Nuff said.Who are your favorite underdogs?

Bistan. All-around solid toon. Good ship, great in Arena & under AA(with R2 now in play) he's now good in Arena. Go monkeyman, go!

Magma did get a buff, lot better now. There have been some interesting arena/GW vids of him under a Zader lead for mass TM removal. Ventress AI is dumb lol. Horrible timing on her mass dispel, which is a shame because yes timing is everything.Honorable mention definitely to Nute. Squad strategy subforum still working hard trying to make him work in HAAT

Like does the AI ever proc her AoE after a toon dies and she has offense/crit chance up?

I haven't fought a Ventress for quite some time in Galactic war or arena, but she used to waste her dispel on foresight a lot. I used to use Rey in my team so it happened a lot.

Which characters do you consider to be most underrated?

This. Ventress AI tends to waste her dispel on one buff. I've been against good AI Ventress with good timing yea, just isn't consistent

Interesting. Thanks guys. Yea I posted in the feedback section about Ventress's AI so I'm hoping the devs will see it and possibly help her out with AI.

I wouldn't mind if she used her dispel to debuff an taunt, especially a STHan taunt... but even when she's dispelling a taunt I think that she should do it only if she has health to regain.

Is evasion not able to be dispelled?

I like Cassian he gets a bit of love but not too much. I would say he is under rated. Rarely find him in Rebel teams. Also he is good for HRancor

SRP - I use him as my fifth ewok and he's great. He gives TM and his auto-revive works with EE's revives to make sure he's always up and taunting.

He's far from the best tank, but I do think he's underrated.
