It's important to note that Maul has speed up at the beginning of the battle, so you don't really need that much speed on Maul to outspeed a CAT. At 350 speed + 25% speed up, Maul would have around 430 speed which is a completely overkill, so around 310-320 speed on Maul would be plenty.

@Ahnald been thinking, with LV ultimate charging with his unique, and empire / ufus taking dmg. Couldnt OG Papa Palps supercharge it with his 2nd special, ontop of Maul?...All his allies taking 5% dmg with it, granting Palps possible tm(N/A vs JMK), and everyone gaining health steal ontop of it. Im curious to see this tested when Maul is readily available. Also crackling doom, esepcially vs JMKs, enemies taking dmg = 20% of their max HP per instance ( jedi, rebel, shocked), also stacking Palps protection, curious if that would be converted into indirectly increasing his max HP. Considering a lot of r7 Palps floating around, LV would be gaining some hefty mastery with his ULT. Seems like LV can take way greater advantage of a HIGHLY reliced team surrounding him aka they Monetized his ult even further with relics lol. Better take that Royal Guard to R8

I feel like they could have done so much more with his ultimate. At the very least they should have given him a transformation where he drops the cloak (I won't even get into the fact that it's glued to his legs) and we get to see a full view of the Sith eyes. These are supposed to be the game-defining characters, CG is only 6 in, and they're already putting half-assed effort into the design.

[@joshuasmith4643]

Hell his abilities are lack luster as fucked, honestly all the GL's have lack luster abilities. They are CG's highest grand units, you'd figure they would go all over with their abilities. But nope, we get an AoE spell that is just some red mist and a leap in the air lights lightsaber strike.

With these new GL's and supplementary characters, I feel like they again just design the kits, and pull it over a character of their liking. CAT doesn't have a leader ability, and is in a group with Master Kenobi. They weren't even in a battle together at that point anymore, Kenobi didn't even like the idea of sending Ahsoka against Maul. She'd look more better having synergy with Rex and Bo-Katan Lord Vader: ok technically the republic became the Empire at that point, guess we can accept the Empire synergy. But again with the unaligned Maul? Anakin had no relation to him at all, had more to do with the unaligned Asajj Ventress. And this would've been the best time to rework Darth Sidious, instead of Royal Guard. Maul at least has mandalorian leadership thing, but I bet it'll still be trash, especially compared to him in the Lord vader team. This whole setup looks more like they're coming up with a problem (CAT-Kenobi) and then selling you the solution. (Maul-Vader)
