FOTP viable at 4*?

KyleKatarn

Just wondering, since I'm building a First Order team and would like to include FOTP. I have him at 4* currently, and was wondering if that would be good enough to use him in the Arena?

He'd be placed with a 7* Phasma lead, 7* FOO, 6* RG and an as-yet undecided other - probably Kylo Ren, although I am still working him up to 7*.

I wouldn't think so, you would be an easy target, he already has low health, and your team isn't fast, RG wouldn't save him from a QGJ or Geo opening strike

You could probably win on offense, I would give it a try just to use him though

Bar_Buryin

I don't think so at least not for arena since he is highly susceptible to getting one shot even at 7*. For GW the Ai doesn't focus targets as hard as players do but his damage makes him draw a lot of threat so they might be try to smoke him early as well.

I run a FO team in arena, top 50. I use FOTP 4* on attack, and trade him for 86 on defense. On defense I run phasma fives 86 Dooku daka. It's kept me from falling lately. On offense I go phasma Kylo FOTP Dooku RG and have fair luck.

He's not viable at 4* cause I can easily kill him even at 7* My suggestion is if you're a F2P player might as well get IG-86. IG-86 is easier to farm and lvl and he's like a poor man's FOTP. He hits hard basic or special with a crit of 5k+ on his basic and can instant kill a toon on his special attack.

He's called a glass cannon for a reason. If he gets a chance to fire he'll make you proud. But he can be finished on an AOE sometimes.

Im assuming all geared and maxed..
Yes he would be very viable with that squad, probably deadly honestly
But when having a 4 star will make you targetted and drop you in arena

nice strategy!

DarthBooey

Yes. I had him at 4* and ranked around 200 in arena. You only get one or two attacks out of him, but that's one or two dead opposing toons.

He is a straight-up murderer. I don't know if they changed his 7* HP, but I hear the HP goes way up when he's maxed out.

KyleKatarn

Thanks for the input guys - all very sound advice. I am predominantly F2P, I throw down every now and then but not massive amounts. I've also been very unlucky not to get any shards for FOTP, weirdly though I have enough to 6-star Kit Fisto :-P

I do have IG-86 at 6* and was toying with the idea of throwing him in, so I'll definitely give that a try.

KyleKatarn

Oh and yes, all G8 and maxed.

KAULI

I have him at 4*. He works nice on offense but I dropped from 35 to 60 those days...
Usually:
Phasma/rey6*/lumi/poe6*/sid

With FOTP:
Phasma/rey6*/FOTP4*/RP/QGJ5* (change QGJ for RG4* or Poe, it works nice too... GS would be even better)

Dude, Sid's AOE alone can take out a 4* FOTP if he crits

KyleKatarn

Well just to draw a line under this, I had a go with him in GW. @DarthBooey you were right, he is absolutely lethal but goes down faster than a tart's knickers ;-)

I've now almost 5* him but the point about Sid's AoE is well taken, so until I can get him up to 7* I think he'll be a nice reserve character.

It's true, I try to stun Sid with my Dooku because if not Sid aoe knocks out my FOTP then I have to hope Daka Rez.

I got mine to 6* before I threw him in to my arena team. It seems to be working ok, haven't dropped that many positions. Not more than before anyway.
