Exactly why I think he is still good at 150. Less shooters to worry about.

Dash and Red will only hit 1/2 the time with his 23 defense, 27 in cover. Then he can defense the attacks that land. A vigo gets killed by luke if they are with 12-14 squares. So, I wouldn't say he goes down in flames if he's being handled well. Especially if he has the new leia with him to double those LS defense saves.

Na Mr Gmls is perfecctly costed. And i have come 1 save 11 away from killing him with durge jedi hunter!!!

No offense but if that is the reasoning you are using to say GMLS is playable in 150 then you don't quite understand Luke's problem in 150. Luke destroys Melee squads, the only shooter on that squad needs a 13 on Luke in cxover, and GMY and Vos while a fun combo are two of the most fragile beatsticks in the game.

It isn't a bad squad but Luke can and probably will defeat that squad 80% of the time, probably. Djem So alone is enough to kill it, forget Cade.

Go play a few competitive shooter squads played by competitive players and then you will discover Luke's issues in 150.

I think GMY can go one on one with luke for a round. thats 80 damage yoda might be dead but then you have rex and dash to finish him off odds are he has taken damage. so luke i dont think will win that match plus yoda has throw so i would just throw on him if i could early then go one on one late.

Leia won't be alive.

Yoda attacks after the shooters have hit, not before. I played this exact match out on Vassal today, and Yoda made his first melee attack when Luke hit 60hps. Easy game really since I played it well. And all I had for shooters was Rex, a Human Scoundrel and a Jawa Scavenger.

Nice part was, it required clever strategy on my part to pull off, but in 150, Luke has no support options that will live long enough against any top level squad and player to make a bit of difference. Luke is not competitive in 150 at the top levels, at lower levels, yes, he will be playable.

Have any *ahem* "top" players tried GMLS in 150 pt. play? Or are all reports of his lack of playability based on playing against him?

That is true to an extent. Luke's very nature in 150 makes him hard to beat unless you have a squad where figures can Jolt/Shockstaff him or have more than 2 attacks on their turn so he doesn't LS defense one or both.

Playing Luke in 150 requires a lot of patience, and a lot of Master Speed. Target priority is how you win games with him not with just throwing him in the middle. Most low cost utility figures like R2, TBSV, Dodonna, Mas, etc are 40 HP or under so killing them on a 14 square move is sometimes possible and is often the better move then just hitting the main enemy figure for 40.

He is a piece that has a lot of hypotheticals and everyone has opinions, until you actually play him vs good players and good squads or against him when he is played by a good player and you have a good squad it is all speculation to find out.

I think he can take out a lot of power squads but has trouble with off the wall ones like Mandos, Vong (Especially Vong), and even Meta Sith squads with Jarael and Force Lightning to drain his FPs makes him a lot less scary.

Luke and Fodder is really the only option at 150. 5 activations MAX with Leia (you cannot bring Cade) will result in him getting slaughtered. You will get outmaneuvered, and Leia will go down first.

At 500, GMLS should be a beast. I think I'll see what I can come up with at 500 for GMLS.
