This week you have 4 options to choose from. The goal is to make a Power 9.5 piece that will impact the meta.

Your options are:

A Separatist Movement Breaker

A Non-unique Republic Force User Follower

A Unique Sith Lord that helps other Unique Sith Lords

A Force User that works with the new Revan/Malak in OR

WHILST RANKING you should put into consideration if the piece impacts the meta.


1. The character must be canonical to either of the Canon or Legends continuities and from the chosen faction when required. They can have affinity, but the character must start in the chosen faction.

2. You may update any existing versions you already have and/or create a new one. You may update/create several versions of the character but you must ultimately select 1 you wish to run with. (this must be done by the schedule below)

3. Place a hyperlink in this forum to make it easier to find your character. You can just post the stats or image here but if changes are needed it would be easier (and save space) if you just used a Hyperlink (If you don't know how to post Hyperlinks in a forum setting please ask and we will help you. It's not hard )

4. Voting works as follows, pick your three favorite customs based on accuracy to the character, design, balance or whatever you decide makes the best incarnation of the challenge character. First place receives 3 points, 2nd place receives 2 points, and 3rd place receives 1 point.

5. You do not have to enter the contest in order to vote. But unless you enter you must have at lest 10 forum posts.

6. To make things fair you must vote in order to win the contest. You must choose three characters entered in the contest and you may not rate or vote for your own character.

7. The winner will be decided by how many points they receive. Ties will be broken by most 1st place votes, then if still tied, 2nd place votes and then 3rd place votes. If still tied, then the outcome is a tie.

8. You may not change or update the entered character AFTER the deadline.

You will have until Sat, Dec 1, 2018 @8pm EST to get your submissions in. Anything submitted after this point will not be included in the voting.

Voting will start at 8pm on Saturday evening and end at 11pm EST on Monday, Dec 3, 2018.

At the conclusion of the voting the scores will be tallied and the winner will start a new topic with their choice of theme

Here is my entry for this week guys a Bane to lead the other Sith Lords to victory.

Here's my attempt to build a meta-shifting Separatist movement-breaking character. Thank you all for your feedback, because my constant focus with design is to keep pieces similar to existing meta, and I don't have a good read on how disruptive a character could be. Gandalf and GG, you were instrumental in helping me boil down what he needed. He is a standalone tech powerhouse, who can accomplish nothing without a mob of grunts at his disposal.

General Kalani, Separatist Bastion

Edit: I realized that as so much of this character's power is conditioned upon moving back towards combined fire, it has the unintentional effect of boosting old Bastila.

Since once of each is represented already, here is my Separatist idea:

some really good entries this week guys!

1. Adam
2. GG
3. Jen

1. Oakel

2. jen'ari

3. GG

Great prompt this week Jen/Grievous. A good challenge and a fun exercise. I realize my interpretation of what "Changes the Meta" prompt may be different than others. I interpreted it as openening up new playstyles/competitive choices within a faction, without completely gutting or replacing the existing one, as I value strategic diversity and multiple options to succeed. With that in mind, I chose:

1. Gandalf - Cements the strength of OR melee pieces on a competitive level, without leaving existing viable options off the table, inside the same squad, or without including Raskta.

2. GG - Working hard with a clear and simple design to make Separatist Huges viable. I would enjoy seeing a game that actually captures the intimidating force of Huge separatists, and your entry certainly pushes the meta in that direction. The thing that kept this from 1st was that I don't find it to be Power 9.5+ though the Disciplined Leader effect definitely puts it close.

3. Jen - Creative and strong. The bodyguard into counterpush could be devastating against powerful melee attackers. Definitely enough to shift the meta. But as I mentioned before, in a game that I feel favors shooters, more anti-melee options might be pushing further from a healthy game balance. (assuming that we want a decent balance of melee to shooters)

The two entries that dealt with the Sith are both interesting, but my decision about them is partly that I do not understand Sith gameplay meta beyond: "Big strong piece beats people up", and I feel both of those entries simply make Sith do that in a more competitively viable way... but not a meta shifting one by my criteria. Perhaps if one of them helped to create a meta shift to thematically focus into the more secretive, manipulating-behind-the-scenes powers of the Sith could be cool. Like handing out Presence of the Dark Side to any Sith benefitting from the Worship SA.

Oakel and General Grievous both have 9 points.
Oakel has 3 1st place votes.


Just an observation: to GG's credit that he could have easily just placed oakel in 2nd to win the CCC.

It looks like I've got more first place votes, so I'll post the next one up shortly. Well done all around!
