Why they haven't nerf rey?

I understand it on the old, level playing field. I am still learning how to do it on end-game Rey without any end game gear or abilities of my own. I have the heavy hitters, but they usually leave Rey with a sliver of health. She has so far proven to be very slippery.

Adding the next gear level, she is just barely out of reach of a high probability kill with RG guarding her. And when she gets buffed by QGJ and/or Phasma in round two, she has just enough firepower to take out your own DPS. Even with full health, she will reliably ohko low protection glass cannons. Just lights out.

She is an interesting challenge for me, right now. I am not at all interested in a nerf. As I said, I believe she will be fairly meh once the new purple jewelry starts to trickle through the arena. I will be trying to land a debuff on her, soon as I gear up the right toon. If that fails, I will try bringing in an AOE.

She will be hitting harder and have a speed of 164. She's just going to be more difficult to deal with.

The point is that for her, hitting a little harder means she is now ohko'ing a lot of other non-endgear toons. And that a little more survivability means she has a lot more survivability against non-endgear damage when paired with RG.

That is all I'm saying. When you face her paired with RG and Phasma and QGJ with your non-endgear team, you may see what I'm talking about. It's flat out amazing. AI plays a beautifully orchestrated symphony of destruction.

She's like a Savage that targets and finishes off wounded toons. But in this case, a wounded toon is any non-tank with low protection. She simply erases your toons like a hungry Rancor. Don't bring your healer. Not necessary.

So, that is balanced...then this game really needs to hire someone who knows how to balance the game. Erasing toons with 10K HP and some protection is not balanced when she also has the fastest speed in the game and the highest damage. Get her balanced, but that really is the most easiest thing to do.


What we really need is for every other shot character to be reworked. Just like with RG. Shouldn't be too hard to know which character is shit, if CG actually plays their own game.

This is Rey with END GAME GEAR and max abilities.

If your team also has end game gear, I don't think this will necessarily remain the case.

She isn't end gear Rey and she is already doing just that. I don't really want to see any of my green HP toons getting hit once and being obliterated with just a small flick of a staff.

Well if she's only gear 8, a lot of viable arena teams should be able to reliably take her out before she unleashes her second round special while being buffed. And she shouldn't be ohko many toons with full health.

It only took two battles for me to figure out how fairly reliably beat gear 8 Rey + Rg +- Daka.

I think if she is nerfed, she might become irrelevant in the end game. Hence, the game might be better off leaving her alone. Certain toons WILL become noob-slayers when they get upgraded. 555's and Rey being two of them. But end-game, they may not even be viable for top tier Arena, any longer.

Fives is not a problem because he isn't as fast as Rey and his damage is sub-par at best and because of his mediocre speed we can stun him. Rey, on the other hand, dishes out way too much damage in comparison with her speed...foresight also boosts her survivability. The same can be said for Princess Leia and her infinite stealth.

Maybe if CG were actually good at balancing, you wouldn't be seeing so many copy-and-paste teams in this game.

My suggestion is to nerf Rey or rework the other characters like: Ugnaught, Mob Enforcer, Stormtrooper, Magmatrooper, and many other characters who are real shit because of 1) bad gear or 2) a bad kit. But it is mostly because of 2 that there are so many characters with a set of skills that are really badly thought out and have really tiny damage multipliers.

You haven't run across a geared 5s with double tap on his counter attack have you? You need 3 toons typically to take him down, you'll want Rey then.

Firstly, she can't hit for 3X7k damage because hits after the first are reduced (very significantly too). Secondly, she can still be taken out before she moves (at gear 8) providing RNG isn't horrible. All teams I come up against with rey in are Dooku lead teams. In this case, rey may get a dodge in the first few attacks meaning she gets offence up. This will then stop her from getting foresight off leverage. Also, if RGs taunt pops, then your ig 88 will be able to finish her off with a good AOE. Also, with protection, she can't really one shot anyone. Yes, she is an excellent character, but is a star of the new movie and after I, along with many other F2P players, have spent months grinding her to 7* (mine got there last week) then we will be angry to say the least.

Ha, join the club. A lot of players spent months grinding only to have their character nerfed just a couple weeks ago.

Ran into an Omega Fives many times in GW. He isn't hard to deal with Bariss, GS, Daka, Aayla, and QGJ. Kill everyone else and stun and repeat. Not that hard of a strategy.

I also have Fives in Arena, that doesn't make people not want to attack me and I always end up losing, so I don't see how he is hard to beat when others can.
