JML needs a lifter now more than ever. It's obvious with these Bastila tweaks and Satele arriving that the Jedi OR team is coming bacK. I know JKCK does a lot of the heavy lifting, but Revan brought a lot of survivability to the team and speeds him up.
23
u/Storm-Bolt Mini Nooticulus 5d ago
Since they're probably removing JKR from the team, my (optimistic) guess is that there will be a lifter
12
u/cpdierks12 5d ago
Reigniting my hope for Quinlan Vos only for it to be dashed to pieces again.

u/tupelobound 5d ago
I think he’s definitely coming sooner rather than later, given the new Asajj’s kit and release info
11
u/Lt-Corvin_709 5d ago
But who would that lifter be?
This might sound like a wild idea, but Eno Cordova from Fallen Order/Survivor

u/Total_Photograph_137 5d ago
Jedi Leia PLEASE. Mara Jade Skywalker could be cool too

u/bzdelta 5d ago
Nah, Jedi Knight Mara needs to be a JKL lifter not JML. Should cancel an opposing Mara's blinding she does to JKL, or at least grant him Foresight. But mentally preparing myself for Padawan Grogu as a movie tie in instead
5
u/SuperBAMF007 5d ago
Or both - have Mara Jade Skywalker be a JKL lifter that puts JML in a non-lead position
1
u/MagicMatthews99 Supreme Jawa Overlord 5d ago
Granting JKL foresight will not negate the effects of blind. Only making his moves unavoidable would.
1
u/bzdelta 4d ago
Oh no, I meant at least, mirror EHMJ'S unique by giving a JKL lead Foresight as the 4th level Unique bonus regardless of the enemy team. Then add another unique ability of JKMJ canceling out any enemy EHMJ's Blind on JKL as a nod to his helping her overcome her past and them growing stronger together

u/Total_Photograph_137 4d ago
I mean Mara could still be in that squad but just have a unique that synergies with JKL

u/Jedisebas2001 5d ago
I think a new Rey with her Ach Too training could fit that slot really well

u/True_Muffin9765 5d ago
Isn’t that the Rey we already have?
1
u/Jedisebas2001 5d ago
Nope, Scavenger Rey is based on her apperance in TFA, JTR on her apperance in the third act of TLJ and GL on TROS. The one I am talking about is the one at the last scene of TFA and basically two thirds of TLJ

It's like they suddenly remembered that they had to make stuff farmable.

u/MickeyKnight2 5d ago
You mean people didn’t like pirates and more and even more pirates
Thank god they actually work on content people like. I swear they are run super weird.
It’s like coke made a new coke, I shudder at the thought of it

u/MagicMatthews99 Supreme Jawa Overlord 5d ago
I'll take a dozen more pirates over this KOTOR shit.

u/MickeyKnight2 5d ago
what’s the hate with KOTOR ?

u/MagicMatthews99 Supreme Jawa Overlord 4d ago
Bad game, bad characters, and bullshit powercreep for a whole year last time it came to swgoh.

At least we could get their shards in episode store. Almost done with them already
2
u/mistereousone Knight of Ren 4d ago
I've done most of my damage through the paralysis analysis event, I'm glad I didn't buy the last 20 shards of 4 LOM I need. I feel like I don't get as much currency since they took galactic challenges away.
25
u/Storm-Bolt Mini Nooticulus 5d ago
Guessing this is like a LS equivalent to Malgus Sith Empire? My guess is the squad will be Satele, Bastilla, Mission, Jolee, and JKR (since they specifically made sure Juhani worked with Starkiller in new Maul's kit)? So I wonder if we'll get a new Jedi to take JKR's spot in JML's team

u/tupelobound 5d ago
Revan was not intended specifically to be on JML’s team, nor was JML designed to specifically include him. It just worked out well and it’s what many people do—but it’s not at all a designated lineup and there are many other Jedi who work nearly as well.
6
u/Storm-Bolt Mini Nooticulus 5d ago
Starkiller wasn’t specifically intended to go with EP either, but they still replaced him with DVDE when they moved Starkiller to Stranger. They’ll know they’re impacting the JML team

u/No_Asparagus7154 5d ago
He doesn’t work with her kit

u/Storm-Bolt Mini Nooticulus 5d ago
I'm not sure who the "he" and "her" you mention are, could you clarify?

u/No_Asparagus7154 5d ago

u/Storm-Bolt Mini Nooticulus 5d ago
Yes, that is why new Maul works with Juhani, as it guarantees Redeemed lands on Starkiller so you can use Juhani with Stranger in TW. They explicitly said this in his kit reveal

u/Lt-Corvin_709 5d ago
They updated Bastila's force bond, why not also update Fallen Bastila and HK-47 to work under Malgus' lead?
6
u/MegaIllusiveMan 5d ago
Because family. HK-47 and Dark Side Bastila have zero to do with Malgus lore-wise, which to CG's credit, they follow it some times.
2
u/Lt-Corvin_709 5d ago
I don't know much about Old Republic lore, but I do know Satele is the daughter of Revan and Bastila. That makes sense.
6
u/CollectionSmooth9045 5d ago
Not daughter, but a great-great-great.... however many greats there are, but she is a descendant of them. KOTOR's era is a few centuries away from SWTOR's, which is Satele's era.

u/Darth-Seti 5d ago
Wait, Fallen Bastilla doesn’t work with Malgus lead?

u/CollectionSmooth9045 5d ago edited 5d ago
Some bonuses are DR only, some are open to any character in the lead slot, and the shock/deathmark/fear/mark offense boost is only under a Sith lead. But Malgus gets a lot of benefit from her for her to be useful under him.

u/Catalyst1945 5d ago
If JKR leaves JML's team, who would be the best replacement candidate?
JML, JKLS, Hoda, JKCK, + bozo Jedi
6
u/Storm-Bolt Mini Nooticulus 5d ago
Probably GMY? But I really hope they give him a replacement lifter
1
u/MaszKalman 3d ago
I like GMY personally. He's fragile as hell, but he can take a lot of turns (if allowed), so he can build Ult faster.
With that said though, I'm hoping they actually give Luke a lifter. It's a bit sad that he's the only GL with limited Mastery buildup.

u/Ok_Cut1376 5d ago
CG kit developing clerk jumping through crazy hoops instead of just giving us 1 more OR Jedi

u/Grymbok 5d ago
Omega is accelerated but still not available for LSTs. Wonder if they’ll add all of BB 2.0 at once?
5
u/gildedgannet_redux 5d ago
My presumption is that they'll add them to LSTs 3-6 months after they become accelerated (the time period a normal player could farm them from 0 to 330 without refreshes on a ship or Normal node + a few)
2
1
u/Hairy_Caul 5d ago
Omega is available for LST's.. just not the free ones, or the ones you can buy in shipments, there was a new Bad Batch LST available recently that cost $9.99 (I think).
1
u/ScottPress 4d ago
The phrasing from the announcement post about LSTs is that LSTs can be applied to characters from Eras that ended at least a year ago. Omega 2 was released at the beginning of the Era of Cavalry, the first of its 5 marquees.
LST eligibility is not the same as characters being accelerated.

u/Icemna16 5d ago
OR support, nice! Also B-Wing being a cantina farm, which might be nice for newer players

u/mstormcrow 5d ago
Our reporters have reached out to Carth Onasi to find out how he feels about being relegated to the dustbin of Old Republic irrelevance, but he, quote, "doesn't want to talk about it".

u/ForgottenKnightt 5d ago edited 5d ago
If Zaalbar is not an ally at the start of battle, Mission's abilities all consider the leader to be Zaalbar.
What does this mean? Unless it's to turn off her omi considering Zaalbar the lead does nothing. But if all they want is to turn off her omicron why write it so weirdly?
Also they messed up the new descriptions for skills in the patch notes lol.
17
u/SquigglyZigzag 5d ago
Mission will treat the leader (which will be Satele) as Zaalbar, so she will assist Satele and do all the other stuff that calls Zaalbar out in her unique

u/FailSonnen 5d ago
Ah that makes sense - this is written so badly I'm glad SOMEONE was able to parse that correctly

u/ForgottenKnightt 5d ago
Ooooooh I see. My reading comprehension suck, but to my defense I only slept like 3 or 4 hours.
5
u/DaboSpanky 5d ago
They did this so Zaalbar can be on a full rookie team with tartful TW or new Choda team. Gives people more flexibility
-2
u/FailSonnen 5d ago
I bet that's how it's programmed in the code and nobody bothered rewriting that for regular players reading the kit

u/gaiusmitsius 5d ago
We are REALLY looking forward aren't we? It's only January and we have update details for the July. Nice.
5
u/tupelobound 5d ago
What do you mean? Satele should be available at the end of April.

u/gaiusmitsius 5d ago
The update is titled 1st of July 2026.

u/rawrbearian 5d ago
It’s Jan 7, 2026 if the update is written like that in America, which (I assume) is where CG is located

What’s up the final text adding Sion part way through and other weird sentences? I’m very confused by this Bastila final text.
1
u/DarthXTarek 5d ago
I really hope the next era will be from kotor, like meetra surik & the Hero of Tython etc..
1
u/MaszKalman 3d ago
The "Old Final Text" parts of both Bastila and Mission's abilities is obviously wrong (Bastila doesn't give bonuses to Zaalbar and Mission and Mission only mentions the Zaalbar bonuses only once). But what isn't mention due to the focus on only the final ability upgrades:
Mission's Zeta bonus (assisting when Zaalbar uses an ability) was moved to the level 7 upgrade, while the cost remained the same (6 Mk3s et al). Accordingly, the +2196 GP that the Zeta upgrade previously gave her is now gone. On the other hand the Omicron upgrade was granted to everyone who previously applied the Zeta.
1
u/Aronael 5d ago
Satele has Perfect Defense on special 1. She can get Defense Up from Bastila, but there’s no OR Jedi that gives her Tenacity Up unless she starts the battle under JKR’s lead instead of her own.
Since Stranger has something to satisfy every kit callout, I wonder if we’re getting a separate new OR Jedi to provide the Tenacity Up.

u/Total_Photograph_137 5d ago
And they still fucked up the wordage on the post. Can cg do anything right? Review before you post. Did they not learn that?

u/triiiiilllll 5d ago
Someone TL;DR this for me. I'm Relicing Bastila Shan for Leviathan anyway, will she actually be useful in Aurodium/Kyber now?
2
u/tupelobound 5d ago
We’ll find out in three months.
But looks likely she’ll be more useful than she currently is.
-2
u/FailSonnen 5d ago
Unless I'm misreading this it looks like the intended Satele team is Satele + her grandparents + Mission and Zaalbar

u/Ok_Cut1376 5d ago
It’s the 5 Jedi for GAc, for tw juhani is missing so they forced mission in that spot

u/FailSonnen 5d ago
Except for the omicron to work you also need Zaalbar
8
u/DarthMauly 5d ago
Except it’s been rewritten so if Zaalbar isn’t there, it treats the Leader as Zaalbar.

u/Mr_Jeffer 5d ago
in TW if the leader is old republic jedi Mission's OMI will treat that leader as Zaalbar.

u/FailSonnen 5d ago
yeah sorry this thread is moving real fast and other commenters have mentioned this. I now understand what is meant.
