General Skywalker 5* NOT Viable AT ALL vs Current Meta

Forget using a 5* General Skywalker in arena. I've whaled up on this squad, GAS has 25K health, 70K protection, 255 speed, 3/4 zetas (stacking health reduction missing, not relevant).
Rex R3 modded for speed with zeta (DR 6E arena mods), Ahsoka, Echo and Fives R5 and modded appropriately, full zetas (Ahsoka and Echo for damage, Fives for tankiness, all 6E arena mods).
The team is literally shredded by DR + Malak, it's not even close. I know it's "early days", but I'm not doing anything silly here. This is the only squad composition we have, they're correctly modded, they're geared up and have all zetas.
If anyone is experiencing a different outcome to me, please let me know.
EDIT:
After several tries vs one of the best DR teams on my shard, I managed to get it down to a 1v1 vs Malak, but still lost in the end.
VERDICT:
GAS needs to be 7* with relics.

Can get to GS's first cover, nearly kill 5's but not quite, but then get wiped out soon after.
Looks better, but would be helpful to know the context, i.e. the relic levels on the DR squad.
Exactly. Relic level, mods versus opponent's mods. The strategy also seemed very flawed, almost as if to ensure GSky was the last one left and could take out the SE toons one at a time...
Losing against Malak without the zeta that’s specifically meant to crush malak. How strange
They even put not relevant hahaha
You can't damage GS's health, unless he's the last one left on the team.
I think he's referring to the fact that all of the needed abilities were on cooldown when GAS stood up.

Bingo! This seemed to showcase GSky's defensive might.
He's just a shiny toy without batteries right now. Can't use him in arena, can't use him in raids, same for the new LSTB. Might only be useful in GAC/TW as a surprise factor for a couple of matches.
Nice snippy reply Ultra, but it wasn't relevant because the clones around him were killed off fairly easily, since he spent most of the match on his knees.
So ... not relevant to the thread, which is pointing out that GAS at 5* is not viable. Not enough protection or survivability to protect his clones.

Why would I need to state the obvious?
This doesnt seem to be an example of that, if you check the forums you will see many people who want to spend money and cant to get this toon due to all the situational requirements to get GAS and get him to 7*.
I suggest you do the same, like telling yourself this game has become a joke.
Darn it leef.....you have me running in endless circles here....literally unplayable like this
I get it, it's one if the new fangled cash grabs where they wont take peoples money, even though they are willing to spend it. Got it, but shouldnt it have a different name than the old style where they actually allowed people to spend to get things?
Great D team!
Does this create some weird paradox where both teams share 1st or whatever rank they are battling over? Asking for a friend....
It just means whomever is at 1 has to put GAS in and then they'll never move again.

5star viability with current 501 toons is pretty abysmal. Maybe arc might help.
But he's not worth the time/resources at 5stars.
