Darth Bane Crash Course: Omicrons, Mods & Comps

[@edzomuljo]

Nah, that jar jar joke was great 😂

[@CalvinAwesome]

Every video from now until forever will be about Jar-Jar

[@Dungeon_Dunce2011]

what joke? Jar-Jar is very seious

[@icytucannoli886]

Agreed. And, true, to a point, especially with Palpatine, etc. It was funny!

[@cammeyyyy2645]

Love that intro wasn't even looking at the screen and knew who you were talking about 😂

[@CalvinAwesome]

Perfection

[@JamailvanWestering]

New-ish player here (I played when it first came out for a year, retired and I came back last year) I have to say thanks! Your videos have helped me quite a bit! I have a long way to go but at I’m doing my best!

[@CalvinAwesome]

That's all we can do. You're more than welcome, glad they're making a difference

[@christ1121]

I was a complete no show for this conquest so I won’t get him for years, but I still love watching videos like this

[@CalvinAwesome]

Thanks for coming out!

[@KxngTay]

Cal Kestis refuses to come back 😂😢

[@rubberduckmafia4627]

But hey, Bo is back in 4 days… again.

[@perception3762]

I’m getting him next conquest! So excited to use him!

[@CalvinAwesome]

Very nice!

[@osirisianplays8089]

thank you for sharing the guide :) i haven't unlocked bane yet, but am really looking forward to get him

[@CalvinAwesome]

He's gonna be a lot of fun

[@phignewt1038]

Could not be a more perfect time for this video!

[@CalvinAwesome]

Better on time than never!

[@Ove08]

Never seen your vids before so nice to not see a content creator for this game not just crying 24/7 😂

[@CalvinAwesome]

Lol glad to have you!

[@boabusthrawnhubswgoh519]

Sorry I am so late to the party watching this dude. I’m in the minority of players who recieved the wrong conquest rewards. I will have him soon passively grinding through this iteration of conquest - I’m pumped! Thanks for the info

[@CalvinAwesome]

Ya welcome!

[@uniquebart225]

Just wanna mention in terms of high relic and no SEE, I’ve got a good amount of spares from leviathan so excited to get him. I think having leviathan alone with a meta malgus team is enough to make bane relevant without having see :)

[@CalvinAwesome]

Very cool

[@solarpoweredtree]

Actually laughed out loud at the Darth Jar Jar joke.

[@CalvinAwesome]

Meesa coming!

[@Theshadow12i]

Me with 10 shards : interesting

[@CalvinAwesome]

Lol thanks for coming out

[@venomousdc_0142]

10:17 Calvin, LV will gain most of Bane's mastery however his AOE will give some back

[@alaunushawk4727]

Man, that SEE + Bane thing didn’t age well, did it? 😂

[@CalvinAwesome]

Nope, not one bit

[@tumblodryay1189]

Beautiful rundown, my friend.. What I've been thinking as well now, is it worth finally R8/9 Malgus because SEE is now too powerful for Gus? Will it make the GAS counter harder? I mean it won't hurt Gus's ship, and of course it's probably better to relic some GLs before Gus. Anyway - thanks a lot for the video

[@CalvinAwesome]

R8-9 Malgus does make GAS harder. Cal still rips him apart though

[@Rando3498]

This makes me wish my real life hasn’t been so busy here lately. I’m going to have a tough time getting Bane

[@CalvinAwesome]

Sad face

Also essence of dominance will deal damage based on Bane’s Max Health. That’s why I’m going full health sets

[@CalvinAwesome]

Yeah I'm not too concerned with the damage but that's fair

[@green_griefer8911]

Omg nice neck reveal calvin

[@CalvinAwesome]

Lol thank you

[@green_griefer8911]

@@CalvinAwesome no problem 😊 as a vampire I can always appreciate a good neck

[@warpwarrior7797]

I think a Darth Vader lead duo may b really good on offense for anyone who doesn't have SEE

[@CalvinAwesome]

That does sound fun

[@mike4DDL]

I’ll probably get bane in a couple more conquests. As someone who doesn’t have SEE and doesn’t have a home for Darth Vader, is that a possibility?

[@CalvinAwesome]

That sounds like a sleeper team

[@jasenbertrand]

I think Bane's lead is meant for defense, if you dont have SEE to use on offense

[@jayhawker8200]

All these omicrons are going to be the bane of me.

[@DarthHades95]

Hey Calvin, Curious about the potential 2 man teams cause the unique locks most of those bonuses behind someone gaining ult charge, at least that how it reads to me?

[@CalvinAwesome]

We're testing right now. lol it's beating a ton of stuff without the omis. Limited right now but ive seen Leia, SLKR, and LV

[@DarthHades95]

@@CalvinAwesome Let me rephrase that, what I read is rule of two only works if the other sith is a GL

No button up caught me off guard

Neck reveal went crazy

@@CalvinAwesome 🤣🤣🤣

[@christhetanman2639]

I currently only have 4 zetas on GL Leia but I will be giving Bane *Rule of Two* before I finish her zetas off.

[@CalvinAwesome]

That's definitely the right call

[@BabySkinCondom]

this will come in handy when i'm finally able to unlock darth bane in 4 years *weeps*

[@CalvinAwesome]

Perfect

[@gabrielporras5909]

I'll go for the meatshields option because of my weird roster. I have leviathan, but dont have SEE 😅

[@CalvinAwesome]

Poxa Gabriel

[@Saibot9200]

How viable do we think R9 could be on him? I know he's not a tank, but I'm mostly thinking about his semitank role with SEE and how much more valuable stats and survivability become in a duo than a 5 man team. And considering how long I've waited for Bane (I just reread the Bane trilogy like a month before they announced him) I'd be willing to go a bit further with him than most just from pure love for the character, but I also don't wanna make a big mistake with R9 mats so I'll stop at 8 at release.

[@CalvinAwesome]

If you put R9 on things that aren't requirements. I'm sure he'll be great

[@Saibot9200]

Weeeell technically my only other R9's right now are Revan and Malak due to Leviathan, so I don't usually do it, but I'm sorely tempted to just because I've wanted Bane for so long. Maybe it's a better idea to hold off at least until after I've farmed the R9 reqs though. I fully expect you to R9 Jar Jar no matter what btw. 😂

[@kahil101]

I'm pretty sure part of his kit increases stats for the other character per relic amplifier level after he dies, so R9 might just make a big enough difference to be worth it for team comps outside of GAC

[@tumblodryay1189]

2024 is the year of the non-req R8/9 :) @@Saibot9200

[@Saibot9200]

True! 15% CD, offense and potency per relic level. Even his Lead is built around him slowly sacrificing his team in order to feed off their relic levels in a similar way so either way he seems like someone that would profit from relic levels a lot in general due to all the stat boosts in his kit.

[@meldrum78]

I disagree with speed modding. If you're going with him in a 2v5 situation against a GL (which would be best of course), their team will be much faster and will obviously be taking turns. Bane's speed is 140. You're effectively getting +14 speed from a speed set while sacrificing other stats, which can be increased more through his bonuses. I actually think offense or cd might be better suited if not health health health

[@CalvinAwesome]

I knew you would

[@drazicholmes7983]

Great intro 👌

Conquest

[@christhetanman2639]

The fact that SEE can’t kill Jabba still makes me mad, lol.

[@CalvinAwesome]

His time has come!

[@J4stringthang]

I was thinking Offense and health sets

[@CalvinAwesome]

Health is definitely correct, offense seems a bit pointless

[@Choptron27]

Dude…I almost thought you meant darth plaugeous….

[@CalvinAwesome]

Not quite

[@apoostain49]

On the logic that see does well enough with watt for someone, I’d recommend lord Vader with bane over the meat shield team. Pre Omni testing shows that those two can already take down a Rey team. With the Omni in play, lord Vader with him could probably do more.
