What are everyone's thoughts? Big glaring difference is LV's potential on the move to do 120 ( with Thrawn if needed to use OF) or 160 ( using Sith Rage ). Holding still, only a 10 dmg difference ( 160-150 ). Dark Lord has the survivability factor, plus the ability to do ranged damage. LV can put a hurt on a big crowd of enemies with sweep, so offensively he may be better. But for defensive purposes, especially against a shooter squad, which one would you pick? Is there any competitive squad that would utilize Dark Lord, or is LV, still the class of meta, if you were to take him to competition? Is BlackNBlue, still considered Tier 1?
