I would hate that. Maul beats GLs already. He’s a conquest character he should be able to. I’d prefer some sort of clause that requires dark trooper Gideon to activate the ISC buff or something
If General Grievous teams can roll over JML teams, and regular Mauldalorians can steamroll over SEE, then I don't see why CG is against this team rolling over JMK.
It’s so funny of how panicked CG was upon discovery when they didn’t even capitalized the I in “Imperial Super Commando” when making the post about the upcoming nerf 💀
I think it’s intentional to release an “untested” character. When they come out and can counter everything, it encourages impulse spending. After a week or two of everybody scrambling to get the new meta breaker, they all of a sudden “recognize unintentional interactions” and fix it. They made their money they wanted and dial the character back. It’s smart albeit shady business.
It makes me sad we cant get excited about anything in this game because if it's "too good" and not one of their special releases, it gets nerfed into the ground.
It doesn't actually make Maul "better" though. It just kicks off his frenzy, and requires serious speed dedication. Something you can easily get from Gideon or other fast characters.
I think ever since the great leak (QGJ omi and GAC changes) they stopped having test accounts because they were more worried about leaks than bugs/nerfs in the game
"We are aware that you all are aware that we do not even playtest our own game. We will begrudgingly put the bare minimum effort required to nerf this into oblivion instead of actually balancing anything" - CG
I realized that I had ISC’s Unique already, so I switched Maul onto defence for my opponent to struggle with. Can’t wait to see how it goes, especially since I can only see CLS, Padme, Malak, and GLs beating this on defence. Hope they decide not to nerf the Conquest character’s sudden lifter
All that matters is your go first. Could win with zam BH, imp troopers, JKR. I don't think it'll be that hard to crack on defense, assuming the attacker goes first.
@@xger21 the thing is, Wat takes a bonus turn and always uses one of his specials to give Tech to one of his allies - this triggers Maul’s Frenzy and he does his AoE to get max stacks of Anguish. With all the assists from Maul’s leader ability plus the additional true damage done through ISC’s 1st Unique, this roughly translates to Canderous gaining 100% TM. Canderous then does his AoE, activating Maul’s Frenzy yet again, and then Maul spams his second special 5 times and nukes the enemy team. Speed isn’t the issue, it’s Maul and Canderous’ Turn Meter gains as well as Wat’s bonus turn. Those 3 teams you listed won’t stop any of that, meaning you’ll need somebody who gains a bonus turn (like Han Solo with a CLS team, a top tier team) or who can prevent the TM gains or stop the assists entirely (like Malak putting Fear on anyone who Crits him or puts Damage Over Time effects on him, or JMK and Leia Organa hindering or outright preventing TM gains) - none of them cheap
It's nice to see them just doing a little touch up and maybe a new ability and a character can feel so much "newer". Any VoD for full testings?? Also there was gonna be an Gar Saxon update aswell or is it in??
Bruh why does Zeb look like he is a 90s era practical effect right now? CG has my boy out here looking like he just got done with hair and make up as an extra from Gremlins
even though they are going to probably nerf this into the ground, it may have been the push to get my Super Commando and Gar Saxon up to G12 at least for the gauntlet fighter
Shes lightside so would reduce the damage but bo katan does make mandos much thicker with better heals. Might be a nightmare if they dont get nerfed too too much.
1:41 Hidden buff but also a hidden nerf, with ICS being good the the scythe counter to Profundity will become harder. 158 is the max speed for the Gauntlet to work in that situation if gauntlet is faster than that you go from a 90% win to a 30% win
@@AhnaldT101 they will keep the specific kit that he has right now like they keep some old character kits in some events like HK-47 having his old kit in ROTE
Don’t they say that with everything lately. It’s performing above expected levels which means it didn’t get tested properly, so will get a nerf in the next update. The way it is now reminds me of the Phoenix team with Rex now.
See but Phoenix+Rex is still beatable. Much the same as this team, if you can daze them it's basically a shutdown. It sounds like the true dmg is just bugged and they're gonna address it
Well, in its current state 100%. But, unlike Windu, this looks like it is going to get nerfed already. So we will see afterwards. Windu's rework was just ok. Not revolutionary.
It looks like a bug, they're dealing increased true damage each time they attack out of turn during that turn. Canderous goes from 6k with his first counter, to 22k with his third.
New patch: imperial super commando will now be stripped of his rework. Sidenote, can you test the same team but with bo-katan lead instead of maul lead. For those, such as myself, that are a long time away from getting maul
Gave my empire team steroids. Gar Saxon lead, Commando, Piett, Storm and Range troopers. Yeah if Piett counters: Piett attacks, Random attacks, gar Saxon attacks twice, commando attacks, Saxon attacks again.
If you told me a week ago that Imperial Super Commando and Gar Suxon would enable Mail to beat damn near every single galactic legend AND Reva, I would’ve tried to put you in a mental institution.
So yeah this is wild. Not only does this prove they dont test because come on it took five seconds to realize how wild this is but man am i blown away by the community. Yes its super good beyond good in fact but this never should have happened and even if it is way to good its 1 team with a super easy and obvious counter, DAZE. Lets maybe take it easy guys.
Leviathan: months to refine to become competitive
Super Commando: Just a little update to the old character
They’re going to slap a “if there are no galactic legends” on those unique abilities
Tbh, I wouldnt be mad if they do that
I mean, it's incredible OP, and I hope they just dont remove it entirely
I would hate that. Maul beats GLs already. He’s a conquest character he should be able to. I’d prefer some sort of clause that requires dark trooper Gideon to activate the ISC buff or something
If General Grievous teams can roll over JML teams, and regular Mauldalorians can steamroll over SEE, then I don't see why CG is against this team rolling over JMK.
I'm good with that, still can beat everything else then
then its still a super team
Isn't it ironic how a LV lifter now turns against LV himself 😂
He's sick of babysitting the guy!
YOU WERE THE CHOSEN ONE!
YOU WERE SUPPOSED TO LIFT ME UP, NOT BRING ME DOWN!
I mean Maul wanted to eliminate Anakin before he became Vader back in TCW s7, so this is lore accurate.
Only a Sith deals in absolutes 😎
Lord Vader to Maul: “YOU BROUGHT HIM HERE TO KILL ME!”
Also Lord Vader but to super commando: “YOU TURNED HIM AGAINST ME!”
That Zeb model was a hell of a slap in the face to wake me up
Wake you up? I'll never be falling asleep ever again after seeing that monster
That's what I imagined as a kid when I thought monsters were under my bed.
omg literally@@AhnaldT101
@AhnaldT101 I now understand why those puffer pigs were so terrified of him
Zeb + KAM faces = Nightmare Fuel
It’s so funny of how panicked CG was upon discovery when they didn’t even capitalized the I in “Imperial Super Commando” when making the post about the upcoming nerf 💀
"Hello Holotable Heroes,
The team is aware and investigating an interaction between Imperial Super Commando and actually being good."
I think it’s intentional to release an “untested” character. When they come out and can counter everything, it encourages impulse spending. After a week or two of everybody scrambling to get the new meta breaker, they all of a sudden “recognize unintentional interactions” and fix it. They made their money they wanted and dial the character back. It’s smart albeit shady business.
“Shady” is an understatement. They're straight up scamming their playerbase.
It makes me sad we cant get excited about anything in this game because if it's "too good" and not one of their special releases, it gets nerfed into the ground.
I mean, this is entirely too strong and shouldn't be that way lol
There are certain instances where it's needed.. and this is definitely one of them 😂
But again, CG needs to test their dang game
Bruh. This is literally broken beyond any team out there. I love the smell of cope in the comment section
FiX uR gAmE CG!
I'd usually agree but this is broken on another level
The new Garreb artwork reminds me of the guy hiding in the bushes with his binoculars across from the playground when I was a kid.
It's embarrassing for a company like this to be so bad at testing their game. Any other job out there and they would be fired after so many offenses.
You don't play Marvel Strike Force, do you?
The “Imperial Super Commando and Maul is performing above expected power level” is the cherry icing on top of the cake.
I remember drodika modded to light speed can also work for maul... the 50% speed boost without damage immunity can help with frenzy
Yep! Also, Gideon was another option. Or massively sped up Armorer. Few ways of almost guaranteeing the Maul combo pops off!
It doesn't actually make Maul "better" though. It just kicks off his frenzy, and requires serious speed dedication. Something you can easily get from Gideon or other fast characters.
If you have Hondo omi I actually like that one, basically another Wat for Maul
- CG : *releases a new character*
- Ahnald : *Tries it and beats any team with him*
- CG : "THE TEAM IS AWARE AND INVESTIGATING..."
Players: something doesn’t work right
Capital Games: okay, let’s just make it more powerful than everything so it definitely works
Loving it, and love your breakdown of it Ahnald! Can’t wait to use Commando and Maul in the next Krayt Dragon raid!!
Hugely underestimated this. And not even a Zeta
Yup. A nerf will be incoming! Poor CG not testing their game. They need a Thrawn like individual over there to better strategize things…
Problem is... Thrawn is competent... I don't know if they like hiring people like that....
Yo ahnald unhinged 😂
I mean to be fair they could probably hire someone like Gar Suxon and he would do a better job at strategizing balance than what happens currently.
Why would they pay testers? The community tests it free and they just adjust. He even tells them the fix at the end. For free. He fixed it.
Man they do not need testing!
Knowing how the freaking Maul team operates,I knew this was gonna be OP before seeing it in action
Not that hard
CG: "WHO'S RESPONSIBLE FOR THIS?! Where's the QA division?"
Jeff the Potted Plant: "All according to plan."
And Maul will be my first Proving Grounds character unlock. Nice. Assuming it comes back.
Now we just need gar suxons rework
CG might break their game if they did that. ISC already broken as it is!
Mandalore will rise again!
Give him the dark saber and a unique that buffs damage based on gar's defense or something for a little extra nudge.
i don’t get why they made zeb look like cals master 😂
same with ahsoka tano LET THEM LOOK LIKE THEIR CARTOON COUNTER PART 😭
We need to get loud about this, all these new art stuff SUCKS
It’s probably not up to CG, those decisions are likely made higher up by Lucasfilm/Disney to force tie-in promotion with the new shows.
14:00 When naming the Galactic legends teams he beat, you called the LV team 'Maul' 🤣
CG should just hire Ahnald as a testing consultant. WTF CG!
It looks like Maul was the Galactic Legend after all, and now he got a better lifter than Lord Vader
Gar Suxon no longer! Long live the Empire!
They should give ISC and Sux the Imperial Trooper tag.
CG: It's just a touch up.
Super Commando: Incorrect...
Watching your enjoyment is pure gold
Great video! My wife overhead you yelling everybody dies and I just burst out laughing at the look on her face!
😂😂
I think ever since the great leak (QGJ omi and GAC changes) they stopped having test accounts because they were more worried about leaks than bugs/nerfs in the game
The True Damage is nuts. They seem to be dealing true damage equal to 5x their out-of-turn physical damage.
Besides the intruding wire, I think the headset looks good on you

CLS loses
@@BlazingStorm8895 Right, if Wat is there, it's more complicated, and some teams can't win. But putting Wat on defense is.....iffy.
Too early Grand Admiral, ISP is performing "above expected power level" 😂
Dammmm this squad is crazy 😂
Time to put this on defense this week to see how people react to it, good thing I geared them up for the ship, hopefully they don't fix it too soon
You're killin me bro. You make me favorite every toon you talk about. 😆 🤣 Except Papa Dark Trooper Moff.
Now I know why they didn't touch the super commando rework. Getting CAT shards is impossible 😭😭
I love to see Ahnald laugh. He deserves it with all the frustration he has to deal with from datacrons.
It's nice to see them just doing a little touch up and maybe a new ability and a character can feel so much "newer". Any VoD for full testings?? Also there was gonna be an Gar Saxon update aswell or is it in??
Bruh why does Zeb look like he is a 90s era practical effect right now? CG has my boy out here looking like he just got done with hair and make up as an extra from Gremlins
That new Zeb look gave me a pretty solid jumpscare this morning
It's been a long time since I saw Ahnald look so happy in a video, obviously at CGs expense!
This new Zeb artwork tho. Dude looks like he has stroke :(
even though they are going to probably nerf this into the ground, it may have been the push to get my Super Commando and Gar Saxon up to G12 at least for the gauntlet fighter
Shes lightside so would reduce the damage but bo katan does make mandos much thicker with better heals.
Might be a nightmare if they dont get nerfed too too much.
I was thinking you could have bo katan lead if you don't have maul. I hope ahnald tests that
Im convinced they dont actually test anything before sending it out. Why test it when you can have the community test it for you?
They really need to have people like you testing this stuff before release. Constant and unnecessary frustration for the community
That zeb was a straight up jumpscare
1:41 Hidden buff but also a hidden nerf, with ICS being good the the scythe counter to Profundity will become harder. 158 is the max speed for the Gauntlet to work in that situation if gauntlet is faster than that you go from a 90% win to a 30% win
Ahnald.. you always keep it real. Thanks!!
This is the Proving Grounds Maul team or what?
Knowing our luck the proving grounds is going to get so much harder...
@@AhnaldT101 they will keep the specific kit that he has right now like they keep some old character kits in some events like HK-47 having his old kit in ROTE
I seriously hope they just had the wrong numbers on the true dmg portion and don’t instantly completely gut the whole team
We will see. I hope so too. Would like this to remain semi-intact. At least against non-GL teams at the minimum.
@@AhnaldT101 I agree! I was planning to gear up the 2 Imperial Mandos already, hope it won't be a complete waste
At the very least, their ships are worth investing moderately into the characters@@n1c3s43
CG Testing=watching Ahnald Livestreams. Long Live the Empire!!
Don’t they say that with everything lately. It’s performing above expected levels which means it didn’t get tested properly, so will get a nerf in the next update.

See but Phoenix+Rex is still beatable. Much the same as this team, if you can daze them it's basically a shutdown. It sounds like the true dmg is just bugged and they're gonna address it
Super commando you fight in the conquest be like:
Even if they make a no galactic legend clause then it will be so menacing on defense
When I saw Zeb's new look, I had an audible reaction, which was "Eughhh!!"
all he needs is a cleanse and it be extra ~epic
Well I guess Mauldalorians are/were a GL level team for a few days
CG: Testing? Never heard of him.
Do you think this is better than Mace Windu rework?
Well, in its current state 100%. But, unlike Windu, this looks like it is going to get nerfed already. So we will see afterwards. Windu's rework was just ok. Not revolutionary.
14:42 "I had a lot of fun!" ~ AhnaldT101
"FUN??? That's ILLEGAL! NERF THE BUFF!!!" ~CG
this feels like maul in the conquest battle with his mando team
CG after doing zero testing and watching an Ahnald video:
“After our official play testers tried out the new change we’ve noticed it’s too good”
Super Cammando is amazing. I am still waiting for Gungans and Gonk droid? Come on CG!!
It looks like a bug, they're dealing increased true damage each time they attack out of turn during that turn. Canderous goes from 6k with his first counter, to 22k with his third.
now my 330 pull from the shard shop pack will be worth it
I swear, when I first saw the Zeb model, I literally was jumpscared and horrified...
LOL at CG. That was fun to watch. Welp, It was fun while it lasted.
As great as this "touch up" is. I'm worried about how CAT tier in proving grounds will he affected
Imagine if they make an update that add blinking
They would probably go broke.
He clearly was designed to be the damage in Moff Gideon’s team instead of dark trooper, and they absolutely didn’t test him with maul.
Gosh imagine this beast in the krayt dragon raid, unfortunate to hear about the nerf, still excited to see where it goes
Good rework detected, Vader treatment expected.
Best QA tester CG has
There's a marvel concept called testing. I wonder if CG knows of it?
Devs: "What does the scouter say about his power level?"
Ahnald: "It's over 9000!!!"
13:10 UNLIMITED POWAHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!
Mandalorians finally living up to their reputation.
So does this mean he can defeat Lord Vader? Oh wait I dont think we needed a buff to do that
what can I say, imperial super commando has always been the final boss of Star Wars. about time he gets some recognition.
They should hire you for early testing
CG watching Ahnald’s stream and being like 👀
As op as this is with a nerf incoming this was fun to watch
Do you think that, when episode 5 aired, a CG 3D model artist just threw his hand in the air just shouting "WELL THAT'S JUST GREAT, ISN'T IT?"
Now Zab looks like Andy Serkis.
CG and testing their game before release is like Anakin and sand
New patch: imperial super commando will now be stripped of his rework.
Sidenote, can you test the same team but with bo-katan lead instead of maul lead. For those, such as myself, that are a long time away from getting maul
I finished getting him to r5 the moment you mentioned the nerf…. Fml.
I’d been waiting for this day which is why I jumped on it too quickly
This is one of the greatest things to come to this game, I really hope it stays strong because ISC being this powerful is too great of a meme
Classic CG, hope it ends up at a spot where it still boosts Maul enough to make it awesome, but not broken
Tipical CG XD
Gave my empire team steroids.
Gar Saxon lead, Commando, Piett, Storm and Range troopers.
Yeah if Piett counters:
Piett attacks, Random attacks, gar Saxon attacks twice, commando attacks, Saxon attacks again.
ZEB LOOKS HORRIBLE YOU HAD ME LAUGHONG SO HARD ARNOLD LMAOOO
"I bet CG doesn't even know how good this is right now!" lmao they do now
Does this game studio know how to program mathematical equations properly and understand what "true damage" means?
Well… now it is a Super Commando
If you told me a week ago that Imperial Super Commando and Gar Suxon would enable Mail to beat damn near every single galactic legend AND Reva, I would’ve tried to put you in a mental institution.
