By SirSith, in Star Wars: Legion

Emperor Palpatine should has "Ion 1' keyword on his Force Lightning attack.

Sure, but then remove supression from it. I would be happy with that trade :).

The attack is bananas as is, why would you add ion as well?

Because Power!... Uuuunnnnlimited Poweeeerrrr!!!!!

It's not an ion weapon, so I don't understand why it would. Also, how much would you increase his cost to make up for adding a good keyword that was previously only on weapons that exhaust?

Why would it? Force Lightning is not an ion attack. Ion weapons aren't just raw electricity or anything akin to what ole Sparky is putting out.

It’s just +.125 per die, that’s not nearly as good vs armor.

Only if he can throw floating senate chairs as well.

He, like all named movie heroes, should be broken beyond belief and banned from tournament play. It's the only way to represent plot armor. So sure give him Ion.

"Ion" is not a basic name for anything involving electricity. It is a very specific type of energy and Palpatine's force lightning is a different specific type of energy. It's literally a manifestation of pure dark side. Why would it just be the same as whatever Ion cannons shoot?
