5 Most Underrated Characters in SWGOH!

[@bomafett]

I would put Ezra on this list. He is kind of "KAM light." He double taps on basic, calls an assist which also grants a bonus based on character role, has a dispel, and hits pretty hard (though not as hard as KAM). Phoenix isn't the go-to early game squad it once was, but he excels on a Jedi team. I often run him with JML in 5v5 and with Basti and Kanan in 3v3 (he has additional synergy with Kanan, whose protection up mechanic goes really well with Basti lead). Ezra is also a crew member on the Phantom II. Like most early game characters, he could use a touch-up. Even just a speed bump would really help. But as is, I think he is better than most people give him credit for.

[@CalvinAwesome]

Ezra is definitely "KAM light" I considered gearing him before I realized I was going to get KAM

[@crackedfrijoles6696]

He isn’t galactic republic though so he can’t work (as well) with QGJ

[@bomafett]

@@crackedfrijoles6696 true. And he doesn’t give the speed boost KAM gives. But good Jedi attackers are not very common, so Ezra is worth the mention.

[@tsnorquist]

I agree with BAM. He's my favorite go-to character right now. I use BAM lead, Kuiil, IG-11, CAT, and Dash as my scoundrel team. That team has gotten me 3*s in proving grounds on each event, can take out SLKR, SEE, GAS, and some other high end teams. I really wish his whistling birds started at 20 stacks instead of having to build up; it's tough in 3v3 to get stacked that high.

[@tristankelly2410]

My most underrated character is moff gideon. I have been using him with padme and OH MY! I have been countering sith trios, inquistors, cls, etc while just using padme, R2, aayla, and my R7 CUP. You said the sith trio is tricky on defense. I send that squad in for about 63 banners on full relic 7 sith trios.

[@CalvinAwesome]

Gideon is so freaking good, one of the most versatile characters

[@markredden311]

Great video man. Keep up the good work. Shout out to Luke's Green lightsaber behind your head, to your left. I'm with it man. Definitely my favorite lightsaber in the franchise.

[@CalvinAwesome]

I love it man! I'd like to get Obi-Wans too

[@markredden311]

@@CalvinAwesome right on. Obi Wan's from the Phantom Menace or the 1 he had after that?

[@CalvinAwesome]

Episode 1

[@jasenbertrand]

With KAM, I think the real underrated part is his Jedi Council unique, it gives all allies 40%max health, then he gives supports and healers (QGJ, Shaak Ti, Luminara, Aayla) offense equal to 10% of their max health, so you would want to build QGJ for health because its easier to raise to higher numbers getting a better offense boost

[@CalvinAwesome]

Yeah that unique is hard to see with it in the background. But it makes a real difference, I've been using Lumicron with QGJ and she hits hard

[@omsethi153]

Most underrated- Lando Calrissian

[@Ralphanators]

people be sleeping on the grand inquisitor

[@asot250]

Hello there Calvin :) Awesome vid, thank you for sharing!

[@CalvinAwesome]

Thank you for your feedback!

[@batmanwins5701]

I love lists and team building guides! Do these and I will always be grateful!❤️❤️❤️

[@CalvinAwesome]

Sounds like a deal

[@chocomog4000]

My main problem with embo and BAM is that they hit like wet noodles before r8. BAM has uses as a support for fennec and maul but it's horrible to have to take him so high to be useful as a damage dealer

[@CalvinAwesome]

Bam does need 20 birds to get a kill, which can be frustrating. And yeah Embo needs the team to really make an impact. Neither of them are going to have quite the impact that Dark or Fennec would

[@bomafett]

I notice that a few of these characters were trashed by a prominent content creator who has an outsized influence on opinions in the community.

[@CalvinAwesome]

That wasn't intentional on my part but that was probably likely to happen given the amount of influence

[@bomafett]

@@CalvinAwesome exactly. He is likely the main reason some of these characters are so underrated.

[@VitaminD-123]

Right. I listen to several youtubers to get their opinions. Good to look past the Hype and gleen some Facts.

[@ScottPress]

30 speed turns into 9000 offense under QGJ omi, so Calvin undersold it edit: it is 900, I suck at math BAM has so many cool things in his kit I don't know how people ever thought he was bad

[@CalvinAwesome]

...I think I did my math correctly... BAM is super cool though

[@ScottPress]

@@CalvinAwesome oh yeah... your math is correct hey, I left high school with a C, I'm allotted one dumb math mistake a day

[@icytucannoli886]

BAM is actually really good, mainly because of the Damage Immunity, IMO. I really, really, really want to get him to R7+ just to keep the Razor Crest alive after initial barrage from Profundity fleets. GI, is, without question, a requirement for most high-end guilds because of Reva.

[@marlontaylor7032]

Getting him to R7 will make matchups worse no? Because then Cad Bane would need to R9 to outspeed him

[@icytucannoli886]

@@marlontaylor7032 Against Profundity, I'm mainly going for Han's Falcon 1st. If the Falcon goes down, you can then begin to apply Marked to Breached enemies (so, I typically go for Outrider and then nuke their ships). If the Razor Crest doesn't survive the initial barrage, you have to take out Y-wing ASAP, then try to kill Outrider till Han's Falcon is targetable. It's a pain and the win rate goes way down (at least for me), if RC gets blitzed down.

[@Mr.Flex1992]

In gac, what if I use BAM in a omiDash lead team with ig11, kuill ,Nest ? ( Are they still good or am I losing viability ?) For the record I dont have LV, my Maul lead team has JF,Wat,BK,CO . I went for SK so I don't want to farm dash team soon or LV, so I have to keep Maul lead and Bam or Dash lead. Is omiDash leader better than BAM lead ? Or BAM's place is with Maul ? Kinda confused.

[@CalvinAwesome]

BAM and Dash do fine under each others leads. Typically what decides the lead, is if you have IG/kuill run BAM, if you have Vandor/L3 run Dash lead

[@Mr.Flex1992]

@@CalvinAwesome Bad news :)) that means I wasted my omicron on dash. Was planning to use his lead with cam ig kuill and dont farm vandor and l3 soon cuz I have other priorities

[@andrew1257]

GI is insanely good IMO. he's won me several GAC's VS jml

[@CalvinAwesome]

That's a really feel good fight

[@michaelcavanagh4480]

Love these videos CA! Question I just hit four million recently and can now get CAT shards on proving grounds my guild doesn't do the KAM TB but we do rise of the empire

[@michaelcavanagh4480]

The only way for me to currently get kam would be to use get 3 currency or I buy CAT shards I don't have JMK but I have qui gon omni with a relic 7 anakin. What should I use get 3 on?

[@michaelcavanagh4480]

Would love to have KAM even if its only 4 star for all the boost to be able to place qui gon omni on defense i use that team for offense.

[@CalvinAwesome]

Buy KAM for sure. not just for his viability, but if he's required for something later down the line. That's the ONLY place to grab him and it'll take forever to do it on the fly

[@michaelcavanagh4480]

@@CalvinAwesome will do! His kit looks great thanks alot bro! 👊

[@jayhawker8200]

Kind of weird, but would lord vader be considered for this? Talked to a lot of people and opinion on him tends to be either he sucks, or he is one of the best gl's in the game.

[@CalvinAwesome]

Mmm Galactic Legends are kind of a different animal to tackle because they come with certain expectations. But yes

[@fabianweller6077]

I mean LV doesnt suck hes still a decent Gl but he does suck when you consider how much investment you have to put into him… you can probably get like Kylo and See in the same time you get LV and thats the big problem…

[@jayhawker8200]

@Fabian Weller even still some of the people i have spoken to acknowledge that, but still say he is either the first or secound best gl, number one would have been jabba

[@fabianweller6077]

nah JMK Cat is definitly way better than him I dont see anyone argue with that LV still can be off metad JMK cant and beats everything so 100% still the best Gl obv Jabba is the most important one LV probably 3rd

[@jayhawker8200]

@Fabian Weller that's the thing, jmk CAT, they put high value on CAT jmk not so much, call him CATs lifter unit. They also think his value is going to fall alot since he was important for cpit

[@josh_ari]

I can't take kam seriously, he looks like Ernie from sesame street or the coneheads from SNL. Plus everyone does rote. Players not using kam isn't because they don't want him for their Jedi comps. It's his lack of availability.

[@CalvinAwesome]

Lol Ernie

[@Xinperor]

BAM would be great if not tagged as attacker, change him to support and he will be fine :D

[@CalvinAwesome]

Because he functions as support?

Same man. Thanks for your feedback!
