    Maybe ARC trooper is gonna make the difference. I still think its a little too early for conclusions.

    But anyways, you should already prepare for next cash grab event already.

    Time to gear rose and holdo.

    Actually it did. There was initially a wave of people saying JKR **** because some people post videos of him losing to Traya.
    Oh yeah, that was a thing, lol

    I’d stand by that. I never lost to revan running a simple Traya squad. I would call him a double flop since he ruined how long battles took.

    Honestly DR and Anakin were also busts. Malak and Padme were quiet studs. C3PO is also no joke.

    Maxed 5* g11.5, 4 zeta GS, r3 Ahsoka with r5 Fives and g12.5 Rex and Echo here with decent mods. Couldn't beat the better DR teams in my shard. Extremely disheartening to work so hard to unlock GS, only to then have to switch back to DR in order to climb for pay out.

    That is some fool's errand stuff! The real hidden farm?

    Special Forces Tie fighter pilot. And Special forces tie fighter. Hardest farms by far.

    Rose is easy. So is Holdo. They know this...

    But yeah, it won't hurt to 7 star them and get them to G9 or something.

    The ones with a dedicated guild store slot between the two of them are the hardest farms by far?

    No one ever said Malak was a flop either. He was arena viable even at 5* g11. Stop completely making things up. It's just silly and a waste of everyone's time - especially yours.

    Oh indeed there were people that said he was a flop, because that's what people do when they dont get a character and are mad about it. So stop wasting everyone's time, especially yours trying to say otherwise.

    The people saying he's not worth it in this thread are the one's who have him. Nice try though.

    You are missing the point but I'm not surprised. A lot of people who post and talk of having a character and how bad it is more often than not do not have that said character and instead just say how horrible it is. The other people simply haven't tested the character enough to reach an accurate conclusion.

    Snakes has posted 3 videos - and Palanthian is a known whale who clearly has him. Both are saying he doesn't hold up against current meta teams. Is it possible that we are at a point where it's too early to make any big statements about his viability? Absolutely. But suggesting that every character that has come out was dubbed a flop and turned out to be great isn't accurate either. There are plenty of characters that were dubbed a flop that were flops. And some that looked great, but were only later viable (GG as a recent example).

    Jumping to either conclusion at this point would be silly. But as more people unlock, gear and mod him, the more information - accurate information - the better.

    Did you forget that couple of weeks where DR/Malak was getting steamrolled by EP squads until they added the "no TM gain" to his kit?

    Yes because it was added before he was released. The steamrolling was of DR teams before Malak.

    Mandalore seems to have him working absolutely fine on offense at 5* g11. It didn't look like he was even using his arena quality mods on his clones either (although he has a lot of quality mods of course).

    No tests on defense though. Seems to be that if you get the 5s zeta triggered you can tear the opposition apart. Since it's unlikely to be triggered on defense that doesn't leave much hope for a 5* g11 GAS on defense but you never know for at least a week or so I'd say.

    Um no. It was a hotfix added after he was released becase EP teams were still steamrolling him AFTER his release.

    Lol - those were 5* Malaks - and I stated that. C'mon man. At least try. At no point did I say he was flop or predict that he wouldn't be powerful at 7*...nor have I done that here. I was merely reporting facts. Not speculating.

    Oh good, we're already declaring him trash when people have had him for an hour. I'm glad nothing absurd like this happened when DR came out.

    Ah, wait.

    Perhaps I'm in the minority but a 5* G11 5 dot mod character should not be competitive with 7* R7 6 dot modded characters.... I would be fine with GAS decimating all provided gear, mods, and relic levels were equal, but their not, so I'm glad he loses to 7* DR and Malak squads and I think that should be WAI.

    If CG does make him Viable at 5* then what happens in six months when R14 is a thing... The next new 5* G11 5 Dot mod toon just automatically shoots to the top then too? They should draw the line somewhere so why not here?

    You know it is bad when developers of other games are using the history of SWGOH as how not to run an online game.

    GAS is a ridiculous addition to an ever increasing ridiculous game. What's next from here? No content until the movie and a god tier FO or Resistance toon possibly released. Then what.....nooooooooootthhhhhiiiinggggg.....

    Op tells us that a non relic 5* toon doesn't beat a relic'd meta. Thanks for that. And thank God it doesn't.
