One of those characters CG has forgotten exist...like Ewok Scout (could not even get into a LSB, poor guy).

[@CalvinAwesome]

Lol that specifically was very awkward

[@jigglypuffs5044]

@@CalvinAwesomehe will get tossed into a random LSB that has nothing to do with him in the future. Further proving he was 100% forgotten about.

They should give those of us who bought the Ewoks bundle, Scout, since we spent $15 for specifically the Ewoks. Kneesa is understandable, but scout? The whole point of that bundle was to get the Ewok faction done so you don't have to worry about gearing/ leveling them. Scout is such a useless toon, so why not just include him for those if us who like to complete our rosters as much as possible? CG should totally give him to us.

[@Zimmy369]

I honestly didn’t even realize he wasn’t part of the ewok LSB but that’s pretty hilarious 😂 poor ewok scout lol

[@lordofhunger5175]

It’s ridiculous how that one line of text can deactivate her entire kit, Protection Up is one of the most common buffs in the game

[@CalvinAwesome]

I would've much ratherrd they gave her the standard doesn't work with GLs text

[@siukong]

As someone who also applied Lumi's omicron on spec I went on basically the exact same journey of anticipation and disappointment, while reading the kits of these new characters as they came out.

We are not alone

Lol is what it is

[@Zimmy369]

I just don’t understand what they were thinking with that protection up clause. Every GR team that we have has tons of protection up that’s like their like whole bit. I don’t get what they were going for with this. They destroyed a solid omicron with that one clause. I wish they’d just take it out lol rework the omicron cg!

[@klogott3462]

Lumi never really had a chance with QA because the Queen doesnt allow CD Manipulation for her allies which makes Luminara unable to Spam her Special and she will have to wait 4 Turns to use the Special again

[@CalvinAwesome]

There's like 5 things like that though.

[@exarkun5]

I think QA lead omi will be more impactful than you think but we'll have to test and see...can't wait.

Luminara has been on the Bench for so long 😂

Can you do a squad lineup for all the Jedi after post-kelleren beq?

I'm either doing that or GR very soon

[@michaelgoodner3159]

@@CalvinAwesome I just relic’ed my luminara this morning rip

[@osets2117]

My guild mate and i were discussing lumi omi and he had a thought, put her on a Rey team. While they have HoT they can't be crit or have their turn meter removed. Not being able to crit a Rey team would be brutal

[@CalvinAwesome]

They already do both those things unfortunately. Rey has CI and they can't lose TM while they are inspired.

[@osets2117]

@@CalvinAwesome the extra healing and debuff removal though will help plus it'll give you a second source of CI when your opponent inevitably removes CI buff and inspiration

[@cassdobbins1605]

Prediction: Lumi-cron is waiting for a larger Jedi Counsel faction.

[@CalvinAwesome]

I sure hope so

[@johnherrera5261]

In 3 years 😂

[@chrisprice859]

I think you're looking at it wrong. Once Prot Up hits. HoT expires, and when it does, it sets her ability to cool down. So she can use it over and over again. Also, CA doesn't take effect on toons with ProtUp.

[@CalvinAwesome]

She cannot, QA unique doesn't allow for cool down manipulation

[@osets2117]

That's also not how the Omi works, it needs to be her HoT and if there is protection up on the field the HoT effect is neutralized

[@Zimmy369]

It’s like they’re going out of their way to make her omicron useless

[@jasenbertrand]

I think we'll have to find our own teams to give the Lumicron it's justice, CG just won't do it

[@DK-421]

I've been really trying to figure out where to put my R7 LU in GAC

[@CalvinAwesome]

JML I guess?

[@DK-421]

@@CalvinAwesome interesting. I'll have to look again. What would be an ideal JML team with LU?

This is devastating

[@ryanryan3922]

characters are based on sw storyline. where did her padawan get a distaste for jedi? padawan reflect their master most of the time. i found her stronger in game play with lesser known nonjedi characters

[@zoomzoom103]

I just don't understand why CG doesn't just remove that one line from Lumi's omi at this point. Like come on. I'd love to apply Lumi's omi and be able to use her cause I LOVE her, but that one line of text still keeps her locked in the dungeon of useless toons :'(

[@CalvinAwesome]

Just replace it with the "doesn't work with GLs"

[@mofftucker9658]

I think for those without JMK, padme with her current DC is going to be great in this team as well so another reason not to use luminara there

[@CalvinAwesome]

Yeeeeeaaaah

[@hachi666roku]

CG is selling new toons, not reviving old ones.

[@CalvinAwesome]

Tell that to Juhani, Chaze, Savage and the entire phoenix squad

[@hachi666roku]

@@CalvinAwesome capt Rex is a new toon Raddus/Gleia are new toons Juhani can work with Ufu and Starkiller, but ruins Palps squad The guys you mentioned havent changed recently. They did change Jyn which was nice but her lead zeta is a waste now

[@CalvinAwesome]

Juhani.... does not ruin the palp squad.... SK requires a Jedi and the team is useless in TW without her. I'm not looking for changes, I'm looking for being revived because a newer toon make them relevant. Hence the frustration why Amidala doesn't give Lumi a home.

[@hachi666roku]

@@CalvinAwesome i didn’t say that right- For argument sake, I take away starkiller to put him on a cere squad, you need a sith, and a jedi. Malicos or Mara can go, but leadership isnt triggered because not all ufu- so her Omicron works on it’s own but meant for SK Juhani’s Omicron works with Cere- but who planned a omicron based on cere maybe coming to the game??? I had mine unlocked since news of it bring starkiller’s buff Savage is awesome in GAC, and with 3-4 different comps a welcome Omi- But CG knew they screwed up making him so versatile so never again

[@hachi666roku]

I am So hesitant to burn the mats for Lumi because without her Attacker Tag- she no longer has the ability to drop damage and in GAC, only JML Hoda JKL and another jedi can benefit from it. So JKCK which is the lifter for JML requires the same amount of time and energy as Luminara, mines still at G8, and does more work in that slot than she will.

[@RoganReturns]

hey calvin do you remember me

[@CalvinAwesome]

No

[@jimday2264]

Not even your mom wants to remember you

[@Kief553]

They need to make a Jedi lead that converts all protection to health and then you could make almost a full squad of Jedi who's main deal is health recovery.

[@CalvinAwesome]

That be interesting

[@Kimmiebabi1468]

I have lumi omnicron, underwhelming for sure, hopefully cg dose something about this

[@CalvinAwesome]

They could have right here....

[@edzomuljo]

What about Plo Koon? He is one of the best clone wars characters, deserves at least a zeta

[@CalvinAwesome]

One the best ships in game and the tank tag gives him some use under both Bastila and SK. All of which doesn't require an omicron

[@batmanwins5701]

Cad bane, kit fisto.... Definitely worthy of some upgrades/reworks.

[@csharp48]

​@@batmanwins5701 cad bane is one of the best pilots of a top 3 fleet.

[@batmanwins5701]

@@csharp48 yeah I know, I've got an executor. But he is also one of the only bounty hunters without a zeta. It would be nice to have more use of him since we all have to build him up to relics anyway. Pretty much the same situation with plo since he is integral as a reinforcement in the 4 the best fleet and also lacks a zeta.

You make valid points, sir! I hope a non-Prot Up GR team will be made for Lumi's omi. Some day....

[@ahsokatano346]

I’m going to be getting QA and Bane at the end of this conquest, and should hopefully have enough for 3 omicrons. definitely going to do Banes and QA’s unique, but who should I give the last one too. I was thinking QA’s ability as that does look very nice?

[@cuttlefish6839]

Honestly both of banes omnis are really worthwhile yhe only omni that sucks on him is the one that gives more ult charge which is useless for the most part

[@CalvinAwesome]

Hard to tell at the moment but if you have 3 then Banes unique first and then QAs unique or Banes cool down increase. As cutiefish mentioned the other special isn't that important

[@ahsokatano346]

@@cuttlefish6839 yeah I was definitely going to ignore that one as I don’t have SEE either, it’s just a toss up between the 2 ability omicrons I’m stuck on.

Better question: Why does Calvin LIKE Luminara? Lol. In all seriousness I'm rejoicing I won't have to gear, relic, and Omi her. Resources are TIGHT with gungans, raid, Padme, and who knows if a fleet is around the corner.

[@CalvinAwesome]

About 3 years ago 1/3 of the characters in game were pretty much useless. it's been a breath of fresh air to see CG enable characters like Pao, HRS, fulcrum, visas and juhani actually have homes. They had a golden opportunity to give Lumi a home with GR HOT synergy and they choose not to
