LS blasters have more DPS than her. Shoot her back.
Shock Droid can be baited, and sabers can even ignore outright before killing her with R2R2R2R2R2.
So long as saber heroes continue to be R2R2R2, Iden remains a necessary force available. It's a shame that the LS doesn't have a copy of her, but in most cases, Han / Chewie / Lando will be able to provide the same role.

Yep.
I'd normally say the droid batteries card needs fixed to give it's on paper value of 25% rather than 70% cooldown....
But sabers can stunlock and damage you simply by mashing one button and sort of keeping their character model within 10m of you (not even pointing in the right direction)
so getting .7 second stun every 6 seconds (assuming you do nothing to dodge it) is nothing by comparison and totally fine in the current post Dooku lightmagnent meta.
I'm going to play Iden regardless, but my rule is put away your cheesy glowbat and I'll put away Dio's extra batteries.

EVERYONE who plays Iden seems compelled to spam 'Avenge our emperor!' at least several times during the match. That emote-spamming alone has made me really hate Iden - not her competency as a hero - despite me liking her when I played through the campaign, because I know whenever I see her, that darn emote is going to rear its shouty head again.
Nobody ever expects Special Forces

this is why the winning team can only win with certain heroes one time. Light side has Han which is also very good in HS, imo.
How is a veteran Imperial commando unrealistically competent compared to a gambler, a scoundrel or a senator?
Because if I just went and found the local drunk/gambler and made them fight a navy seal or spetznaz, they probably wouldn't do too well.
*That assuming they aren't one and the same person which they probably are.
and I'll have you know I spam the "special forces" emote more than any other. The Emperor one only gets spammed on immersion weekends when he's running around the game with me, or when he was killswitched.
I don't know about you guys experienced with Iden but I never use the Pulse Cannon, takes forever to charge.
Also the alternate fire, I would prefer a scope instead of that small blast, blaster is useless past med range.
I have never used that emote...
Where do you stand on Kylos who constantly yell "COWARDS!"?
I raise you:
The Kylos who truly are cowards, running away whenever they're the target AND spam that emote when they manage to catch the pursuers in a freeze?

I love constantly spamming this when using Kylo
In all honesty, the stuns should work like the officer thing which disables weapons and also have the effect of the specialist shock grenade. That would be more balanced. It should also work against light sabres - turning them off temporarily making them vunerable, but not useless.
That or they should break on damage immediately. This way the stuns will be used for tactical reasons, rather than spammed like it's going out of fashion.

Considering how easy it is to outright ignore, bait, or counter, yes. Yes it is.

Pulse cannon charge time is .6 second and does 362 damage on headshot. Also one shots troopers in the body.
It always causes lols. People don't expect to get instantly whacked from across the map especially as heroes.
also her pro pipe secondary fire is amazing. Breaks down saber blocks and one hit kills 150 health.
to the point where it's essentially a feature rather than a bug anymore.
Mechanically, it's really not much different than Phasma's droid (which shocks even more frequently) except it's mobile but can be dodged or saber blocked.
Well, that and it's attached to a hero that actually has a gun with decent killing power rather than one that merits a Darwin award if you lose to 1v1.
Honestly I've been using Chewie a bit for the first time since they made it not embarrassing to be seen playing him, and his stun is still waaaayyy better.
Doesn't matter your skill, you aren't dodging it, especially given you can ground slam first to set it up if necessary, and the cooldown being a little bit longer is irrelevant when your whole team has to spend it running back to the fight from the respawn screen they just got put in by one single hero using one ability cycle.
And then you're paired with a Big Deal and the thing charges up fast enough severely injure a 4 v 2 if they're braindead

Yeah 1440HP Chewie with like 10 second CDs on FB/Stun/Slam should not be a thing that is possible in the game lol.
Oh and if there's also a Han/Lando who can aim well and throw their own cheeseball at the same frequency it's usually GG no re if they run you over and split you up in the first engagement.
DS is still better due to the spawns, target system and Boba, but you can output much cancer with the right LS comp.
Yep, easy way to beat her, yet most Lando/Chewie I see melee when I put up the bubble and free me from the stun
There is no bug and is working as intended, any nerf to her will cripple her at this point as they no longer buff while nerfing anymore, so do as we all do and adapt
Nah it's a bug
You forgot Spin Lord Palpatine (finely aged brut Champagne, pairs great with salty dishes)
I agree with these points. I feel dirty using her in HvV as she's incredibly nooby.
I'll add that her secondary fire should have a reduced aoe, so there's at least some skill involved. I've hit a wall 10 feet to the side of a character and still hit them, ha ha ha.
It's not a bug, it's a feature
The shield actually has 800 health. It's a bullet sponge...
Lol I always laugh when I get killed by the pulse cannon as a hero. It's like, good someone can actually use that

Fin.
Got any proof of this?
You got any proof it is? It's Supposed to be 15 seconds not six
Yeah, it's not so working as intended. It would of been 15 seconds had the game's code been correct the whole time.
Lightsabers are buggy as hell too. Sometimes you can saber lock someone, but also a lot of times (right now) sabers don't deal damage in close quarter situation.
