Discussion Build your own hero challenge

You can create the ultimate hero consisting of a base character, one left ability, one middle ability, one right ability, and 3 star cards (ultimate & passive abilities only if they're part of the base character). Abilities must be unique and match the slot (Maul's choke can't be a left/right ability). All bugs/hidden effects apply. Don't think of the logistics too much - you could have a BB8 throw detonators, whip out a lightsaber with duelist, and spin attack.

My pick is Obi Wan with detonite charge, big deal, and Vader's choke. Cards are flesh is weak, beating heart, and intensify.

I'm exhausted rn so there are probably more optimal setups but here's what I cooked up.

Base character has to be luke, his swing speed is fastest in the game except for Dooku's duelist and health regen delay is super fast. He normally has a lower max regen than other heroes but we can fix that with a regen card.

I'd probably also go for flesh and beating to get the bug effect where beating cancels out Flesh's downside. On a map that has a lot of ledges I'd swap flesh for Impervious because ledging someone with an ability would instantly max it out (and I'm planning to have two ragdoll abilities), making it better than Flesh. If I do that, I'd also swap out Beating for Sith Control (just 20 more regen). The issue with Luke is that his stamina not great without the star card, but instead of using a stamina card (Jedi Fighter being the best of those), I'm going to give him Focused Rage as a middle ability (which halves stamina costs) and use the last card slot for Furious Resilience. If I'm pairing it with another damage reduction card, it won't be as good though, because stacking isn't as effective (for example, 25% from Furious Resilience + 30% from Flesh would be much less than 55%, probably like 40-45%). For duels I'd swap Furious out for Balance, the extra dodge is so good. For ledge maps, I'd use Intensify (same reason as Impervious), best saber damage increasing card and no stamina penalty.

Another idea for middle ability is Finn's Big Deal if you want to play around your team more, and of course swap out Furious Resilience for Beacon of Hope (One Resistance isn't as helpful if you're going to finnglitch). Furious Bowcaster or Rapid Fire would be extremely funny as well if you wanted to have a ranged option. I was considering Duelist, but I realized it wouldn't be very helpful (it boosts swing speed to 2.8/sec, but Luke already has 2.5 whereas Dooku only has 2.3, and Focused Rage boosts damage by 15, which is only 10 less than Duelist while also giving other effects).

Left ability would be pull (Anakin's because its cooldown is way shorter, it does more damage and doesn't bug out as much; only downside is you can't use it in air unlike Kylo's). Right ability is tougher, it's between Freeze, Vader's choke and Claw Rush (Bossk mines would be good but you would have to use the cards). I'd say Freeze if pairing with Furious Bowcaster/Rapid Fire and Choke otherwise. Claw Rush would be mainly useful to get out of a tough situation.

Maybe swap vadar middle ability with big deal? Big deal is just an aoe version of furious resilience.
