Granted, I have not thought about it very much, but I can think of a few different ways to lessen his impact without a NTMTO type ability. And I am not great at custom stats. I trust those who are designing new stuff.

Possible future counters to Dadonna?

tempo control....

activations....

Sith/VR 7/40 Darth Plagueis the Wise 39
130 HP 20 Def 11 Att 20 Dmg
SA: Unique, Melee,
Hidden Presence (Is not considered to have a force rating for purposes of enemy
attacks and abilities).
FP: Force 2, Force Renewal 2, Essence of Life,
Create Life 1 (Force 4, replaces turn, add a character costing 3 or less of any
faction adjacent to this character).
although as now have Create life usable on characters turn rather then replacing turn.

Tempo control isn't the problem in and of itself. The problem is that there can be certain abuses at high level play. A counter could easily be a NTMTO type ability if done right. And as long as the piece isn't costed unplayable or auto-include (or is fringe and can be brought in with Lobot which I hate as not everyone should have access) then eventually the meta will shift away from tempo control if enough people start playing anti tempo control.

Haven't thought too much about tempo control but here is an exapmle of one that nerfs Yobuck/Lancer and isn't ridiculous.

After an enemy character makes its first attack of the phase it cannot move for the remainder of the phase.

It also hits mobile/GMA as well so in some games it will be awazing and in others not so hot. You make this one of those CEs for the sake of a CE on someone who you don't want to be a follower and you are all set.

I think Vong is about the only faction that needs a Booming Voice option. Granted, there are only three CE's that would benefit, but still, I think it would be interesting to have the option, since you wouldn't have to protect the commanders, and the psuedo commanders.

Ok, so I was randomly thinking about minis in my spare time ( well, actually it was at school, but shhhh ) and I thought about how to fix most of these problem minis. And the answer was simple: we already have counters for a lot of them. Now this is just whipped up on the spot while I'm typing, so don't expect a meta-changing breakthrough, but here goes:

YoBuck/Lancer: Mon Mothma/new Plo Koon. Other options are Jolt, Ugnaught Boss, Nom Anor, Kel Dor BH, and Djem So/Riposte. For the Lancer, Scramble from the Mon Cal Tech Specialist. He's 4 points. Ion Gun is also rather good coupled with Death Shots as well. Heck, imagine an Uggie Droid Destroyer with Self Destruct from the Uggie Boss and a Mon Mothma!

Dodonna: San Hill/Admiral Ozzel. I know these have drawbacks, but it's a start :)

Rex/Cad/Dash: Super Stealth/Cloaked. Or melee beats....

Mouse Droid: Accurate/Sniper. Or Grenades/Missiles/Flamethrower etc.

Mas: Override. I know this may be slightly silly, but the reason is this: Booming Voice can't go through walls/doors, so locking the door will nullify him. Of course, they might have Doombot which is annoying.

Doombot: Ion Gun/Scramble/Jolt/R7/Electrostaff/EMP Grenades.

Rieekan: Melee beatsticks or direct damage.

A lot of this won't work, and there will be others who may scoff, but I think if we just think outside the box a little we can already deal with these so-called broken minis. Thanks, that's my rant for the day

So who is the mod who deleted my entire long post responding to the above without giving me notice at all? I can hardly believe there was nearly enough to simply delete it outright, and doing so is a great disrespect to me and your members. I hope there is going to be some serious accountability to this, but somehow, I doubt it.

As a moderator, I will post to Bill and Green that it is being looked into.

In the meantime, carry on with the discussion...

No always. Jariah Syn has Thud Bug and Razorbug. Also, what's so bad about Vong? I know they don't have a lot of synergy in themselves, and Yobuck/Lancer takes out Vong support pretty quickly, but it's not like they're really weak. They don't have override or shooters, but fringe characters solve that problem. No tempo control for Vong can hurt, but just use some Rodian brutes to drive up the act count and that will be enough.

I'm not saying Vong are amazing and destroy other factions (which they don't), I'm just saying that with the right strategy and a suitable map, like the imperial base, they can be formidable opponents to face.

Aye, Vong are pretty boring to watch and play, due to how easy it is to pick at their command structure. A pity really. They had some of the better non-unique figures. Just their commanders are so frail that it does not really count for anything.

Same with Mandos, probably one or two pieces away from teir 1 dom, and probably one of the two factions that I make real good use of the non-unique figures. (Other being republic, Senate Commandos. They surely are the Boba Fetts of the non-unique world, even though they are extremely uninteresting in Star Wars canon. Thats what the clone troopers should have been.... *Sniffled*)

My Grievous DAC squad would beg to differ on that, lol. Tore Lah to pieces!
