I really like Ventress

Recently I deceided to not follow the mainstream path strictly any more and instead getting some chars I really like.
So yesterday I unlocked Ventress because she's one of my favorite SW toons.
It took me less then an hour to get her to purple gear VIII so she seems to be one of the easiest to gear chars in the game. At least until gear VIII, there she requires a lot of purple items then.
She already hits quite hard with both her basic and AOE. Her special is nice also, if you have her and QGJ on your team you definitly don't have to worry about tanks even if your opponent has Poe and Chewie. And while her HP is rather low her life steal helps a lot.
Can't wait to get her to at least 6*, I know she will hit really hard then.

Strangely Ashoka and Assaj shown to be very fast in the clone wars TV series.
Slow speed just cripples them
I use 'em just for GW, not for arena but to be honest I lately have much more fun doing GW and trying different team compositions and tactics there then I have in arena where I just try to stay in top200 and sometimes even just auto the fights.
Also, self healing is much better than what ppl think. Ventress will be a force to be reckoned with. I'm happy about this.
I've noticed more people using Ventress in arena lately. She is slow but in the lead with Initiate and Daka, they all speed up considerably. I use her in GW for the moment since I left her on the bench for a long time, only now starting to recognize her value.

I've got her at l65, 5*, gear 8. Almost 6*. Not sure if I'll go for 7* unless people now she's much more survivable or they increase her speed or gets even more turn meter bonuses. She still gets smashed in arena right now when I've tried her (normally I'm in 30-45 rank).
Also Asajj is useful if the opponent have Poggle and Phasma, then Asajj can dispel both abilities, the Offense Up and the Defense Penetration, and cure herself.
Maybe is slow, but if he can dispel Offense Up and Defense Penetration it means that you will gain a lot of health in every opponent attack without this benefit effects.
Also is important protect she with Poe, if the opponent have Phasma, Sidious, Poggle, Luminara and Kylo Ren, first of all Sidious will attack Ventress or will do her AOE ability, next Poe, Poggle and Luminara will attack in the next turns and Phasma will apply Defense Penetration, if you don't have Poe, then Luminara will kill or will block Ventress, but if you have Poe and go first, Ventress will be protected and will be able to dispel the Offense Up of Poggle and the Defense Penetration of Phasma. It is very useful and don't need Ventress as leader to do it.
The slowly speed of Ventress in this case is an advantage, because he can attack after Poggle and after Phasma, and then dispel their abilities. Also whenever any ally or enemy is defeated, Ventress gains Offense Up and Defense Penetration for one action, with a 25% chance to also gain 32.5% turn meter, so she don't need attack in the next 12 round of turn meter, she need 11,63 turns of turn meter to attack, but if she gain 32,5% it means that the 11,63 turns to 7,85 and it is the same speed than Poe Dameron, Poggle, Qui-Gon Jinn or Daka, for example, and faster than Luminara or Kylo Ren, for example, so in the first turn he is slow, but her slowly is an advantage in the first turn if the opponent have Poggle and/or Phasma. In the second turn it's very probably that she gain a 32,5% turn meter and then she can use the second special ability, the AOE ability, that deal special damage to all enemies and refresh all cooldowns on a finishing blow, with Offense Up and Defense Penetration, it is 5K damage to all enemies, and if she kill someone, in the next turn she can use both abilities again.
In the Arena, Ventress saved me some times thanks her AOE hability, jumping in every turn and killing an enemy in every turn.
I think she needs Poe Dameron to protect she and that only is useful when the enemy have Poggle and/or Phasma, if the enemy don't have Poggle or Phasma is better use faster characters. In the Arena you can use Ventress in some of the first 4 of 5 battles, and in the last battle put another character, because the IA is some stu-pid using Ventress, when the characters needs health, Ventress use the dispel ability, when the opponent don't have any effect applied, losing an oportunity to use her basic ability or her AOE ability, is not a good character to use in the last battle of the Arena, because the artificial intelligence don't use correctly this character.
So it's a very useful character in some of the first 4 battles of the Arena and in the Galactic Wars to play versus Poggle and/or Phasma, or to increase the speed to Daka and use the basic ability to stun or the cure ability.
Overall one of my fave chars in the game and as said before her teaming up with phasma works great
