Hi @dobreGAGt and thank you for the report.

This is the currently intended behavior but we are watching closely at the interaction data.

@66highlander66 Just to clarify: WAI means that SLKR is working the way he was coded. It does not mean the studio is not looking at ways to improve this AI behavior.

What we are seeing appears to be AI behavior that was programmed to consider Fives sacrifice to be a top priority to avoid. So if Fives and another 501st trooper are in the squad, the AI with SLKR or Rey will use single target attacks (like basics and Stasis Strike) at Fives to avoid the sacrifice. So this behavior will only happen against certain squads.

Since SLKR is the only character who can enable soloing the sith raid, and his team can beat literally anything on offense, I think calling him "useless" is probably a bit of a stretch.

In arena Slkr is USELESS and nothing else. We earn crystals through arena and this unbelieveable behavior costs us fights and refreshes! One of the most expensive chars (GL) in the game worx not as intented and this must be fixed and that immediately. Unbelievable that you are trying to defend such a bug programming!

@66highlander66 On offense you can still make slkr and Sith Trooper use their aoe. This AI programming will not impact your ability to win battles.

If you think SLKR is "useless" in arena, maybe try using a different squad and see how high you can climb and how far you will fall?

  @GladOS-013 We are speaking about the impossibility to defense the whole team with all abilities. If u think this is ok... i need to say waw. Yes u can climb yes on off because the player control the battle but on defense he is a sitting duck with no chance on defending Him self or fosit just with basic. I realy don’t understand how can u consider this a normal situation. Is like u buy a lamborghini and u can drive only in first gear and the company says to u , yes u can go only in first gear but heey u have a lambo , not working one but is a lambo.

    @dobreGAGt I did not say this behavior is good or desirable. I helped explain why the studio isn’t defining it as a bug, because the current behavior is what was coded.
    
    Then I’m pointing out that calling SLKR “useless” is a huge exaggeration. It’s ok to say that this behavior is undesirable, and that players think it should be changed, but unless players have more success with GAS than SLKR (which they won’t), then hyperbole like that just serves to derail the conversation.
    
    any player who uses one of these weird squads to beat SLKr will be even more vulnerable to a much larger variety of squads.

  Unfortunately you can’t or don’t want to understand the defense problem with slkr vs such 5s cheese squads. Without words - sorry to say

    @66highlander66 Are you using SLKR in arena or are you using different squads now?
    
    I understand the complaints just fine, and agree that the behaviors are not ideal. However, hyperbole-filled rhetoric may be good for click-bait, but not good for conversation.
    
    Slkr as far from useless. Any Rey squad can win without resorting to this kind of cheese. Any other non GL team that switches to a 501 cheese squad will only make their team more vulnerable to a dozen other counters. Just because they have the possibility to beat slkr under extreme conditions doesn't mean they're more effective.
    
    Any change to character AI requires programming time and testing time to make sure they don't break something else. This was just exposed a few days ago. Slkr can still solo the hstr and get first place in arena - so let's all take a collective deep breath and patiently wait to see what the studio chooses to do.
