[2020] LSTB Phase 4 SM

Why does the Special Mission that hard requires Ki-Adi Mundi and Shaak Ti forces us to use KAM lead? Can this be changed? KAM has no leadership ability so he doesn’t need to occupy the first slot




[Kyno] edit to remove second question, for now.

Let me ask about this.

Just spoke with two designers regarding KAM in leader slot.

Here's the deal:

The designers didn't want to break up the JKR Jedi squad you'd use in other combat missions.

So why not use Shaak-Ti as the leader? Given her leader ability has no effect without Clones present, it wouldn't matter which of those two appear in the leader slot, and the decision was made to "showcase" KAM a bit more by putting him in that slot.

I asked why not place someone such as Aayla in the leader slot? The designer stated it would add another required unit (including the task of having to Relic up another unit you might not want to invest in) as a barrier to entry.

So, the decision to balance the mission around no leader ability was made and implemented.

Why not make KAM + Shaak Ti in the 4th and 5th slot just like ARC Trooper (5th slot) in KAM Shard Special Mission?

So that we could use a future GR Jedi? The KAM mission has one required unit (ARC) and it lets us choose our leader (Cody, Fives, Shaak Ti)

Even though Shaak Ti is the obvious and best choice for that SM, we have the option to use another clone trooper if CG releases any in the future, and some have tried and cleared it with Fives, so some players who already have a 7* KAM and want to experiment / play around with it have the option of having some fun

Can you please ask the devs to reconsider locking KAM in 4th slot so we can use Bariss, GAS + Ahsoka, etc?

Given other combat missions (KAM Shard SM), it doesn't seem like you need a leader required

I'm not even close to play phase 4 on LSGeo TB, even worse for obtaining even 1 KAM shard, but I agree...

Even the worst leadership ability would help, instead of having none; they should lock KAM and Shaak Ti on the 4th and 5th slot

I think thats kind of the point, they would have to balance the mission for the best one and then make it "semi required" to have for the mission.

this way its a simpler balancing process and no need to worry about breaking it later on.

Spot on.
