How do you use her?
Mine is now 7*, level 67 and gear 6 (one piece away from gear 7).
I'm really not impressed. I'd heard that RP was a good damage dealer, but I've not found that to be true. My RP crits for 4800 and normal hits for about half of that. Neither of those two amounts are impressive for a DPS. I got crit for 14k by an IG-86 in GW. My GS crits for 11k all the time. Rey is a one shot wonder.

Okay so maybe I shouldn't compare her to the best DPS in the game, but seriously, my Poggle crits for 4k. (and it's Poggle FML)
I went with RP because she seemed interesting, but in reality she's slow and her DPS isn't even above average.

I know she's not maxxed out, but honestly, how much can change in 4 levels and 1 gear level?

Bones

Do you have all abilities maxed too? All her big damage boosts are in gear 7 and 8. She crits for 10-11k at least once a game for me

Bones

And if you have a dooku leader she evades and gets turn meter faster

RP was my second character I've gotten from GW and although I am not blown away by her, she does the job and can pull off sneaky victories. Paired with a Dooku lead, you can expect her to dodge 1/3 of all attacks, and with the foresight it is a free offence up. I once played a team in arena and had RP one shot Han from full health (11k or something). Obviously, that rarely happens, but it helps when it does.
About her speed, you won't expect her to die in the first turn anyway because of dodges but once she does her first turn, it really is a snowball effect. Seriously, she gains turn meter for everything despite what her ability states.
I can upload a video of her in an arena match with a Dooku lead if you would like, tomorrow.

I got him/her at 5* G8 and he/she Crits 8,000

This may have been the issue. I had everything at 3. It's all now ability level 6 except her unique is level 5.

I don't have a strong Dooku, I know this stratagem though, is it really good?

Yeah I've always heard that gear > stars, but gearing RP aint exactly easy and now that she doesn't do so well on DPS I was hesitant. But I'll consider the options

I would love to see a video, especially since I may never be able to pull it off (basically I can't star Dooku before the new patch).

Well if she dodges 1/3 shes gonna be problem haha. 11k is respectable, with Dooku lead she may get offense up as well so I can see the synergy now.

oh the gear is definitely a pain, I'm hoping for a great pay off when 7* comes in about a week

El_Duderino

Like these guys say, go to gear VIII and max her skills and you won't be disappoint.

I do a double take when I see a crit for 10k on the basic. But really much of her awesomeness is in the expose and foresight and turn meter boosting.

BrobiWanKenobi

+1 to gearing her up - she's a beast at level 8 and her foresight makes her a great counter to Dooku. (And I'll tell you a secret - her turn meter gains with Nute lead are ridiculous).

StarNickRulex

I won one time with only RP against Phasma e sidius full hp (after a terrible terrible RNG..)
She gains offense up with dooku lead, and if my GS or QGJ call her as assist, the battle is over on the first round (turn meter, expose, foresight, turn meter, turn meter, 115 speed WAT ?? ).

But i think she is usefull with dooku lead only.
Not sure she will be in my A team in future.

Oootini

Just began farming her after I got phasma to 7*. Was thinking of her with dooku lead and phasma (especially after the update on advantage that's about to happen) will make her beastly. Auto crit on advantage will give her TM, ohasma skill gives TM, dooku led evade for more TM, and when foresight gets offense up....
Throw in Han for more TM shenanigans lol. Can't wait to try it. I'll throw in QGJ for the buff removal and assist attack too, maybe more TM for RP if she assists

Oootini

CAn anyone tell me her gr 6,7.8 requirements so I can farm them now? Pretty much done with most of my other toons (not going to start farming cuffs etc until the big update)

SlyGambit

She's very good with a crit leader and with assisters too. I will bring her in on occasion with an IG88(l), QGJ, GS, IG-86, RP. She's excellent when called for assists and QGJ with his 75% damage boost on RP can essentially end any DPS toon (IG-88 when in the same lineup as IG-86 has a similar basic).

Her special is also really nice on high-HP toons like RG/Phasma since the expose can make them easy two-shots.

I don't use her that often (Luminara makes more sense in that slot against speed teams) but she's a very nice fit particularly against Dooku led teams.

It's very good. Very annoying to fight.

Yes very good.

Probably a 5-6* Dooku with just decent gear is enough to get started, he's mainly there for the dodge/offense up and to force lightning QGJ or Yoda on first turn. You need some good, fast DPS. Any two of Rey/RP/GS/QGJ (in that order, IMO). And a tank, RG or Daka are my favorites but STHan works too.

SidiousIsPikachu

use her mostly as offense in team of Poe (L), Rey, RP, RG, Fotp.
it provides lot of exposes because of poe's potency bonus, and got more offense also ofc.. crits nice, turn meter is good. if i had RT i could use this team on defense also, with RT instead of fotp, cause the resistance will synergize even better. im sure that in team of dooku she perform much better - OffUp with evasion, and turn meter gains much faster.

MBL_66

Yea she gets really strong in the later gear levels, and requires lots of purple gear. She gets another huge boost after 73 if you were lucky enough to have a furnace. Mine hits like a truck rn @73 but still gear 8 since I don't have a furnace

To all of you claiming crits for 8k-10k. Is this without any buffs? Pvp? We're not talking challenges here? Because I find it very hard to believe that your RP should somehow be better than mine... I have used her for quite a while and normally she crits for about 7k+. Never 10k without buffs, I can tell you that. Basic attack around 4k.

I am "only" level 72 with max gear, are you talking about gear 9 or a higher level?

That said, I think she is great. I use her with Dooku and it works like a charm.

10K for me is with offense up. Which with Dooku is most of the time.

Mine at 73 is missing the furnace but otherwise maxed and crits for 7k+. With Poe leading occasionally for 8k. The only time I see these exaggerated damage numbers is with an ally giving a second leadership ability such as Finn or Sid.

This may have been the issue. I had everything at 3. It's all now ability level 6 except her unique is level 5.

I would have kept this to myself. Next thing you know everyone will be upgrading abilities past rank 3.

Yea I only hit 10-11k with offense up after I steal it with QGJ

She is 2nd tier who can behave like 1st tier when things go right and she is on the right team. Mine is gear 8, missing the stun cuffs which would increase the damage more, power of 5658, level 7 all abilities. She hits for 4.5-5k regular. That is on a poor RNG, though. She crits a lot for about 7-7.5k. Her special does crit for me over 10k sometimes but usually 7.9ish. This is all without the offense up. I think her TM bonus on crits is broken, though. She doesn't seem to get it on her special but her unique says she should get it all the time. She has won matches for me, though, by herself against 2 people thanks to the evade and crit TM bonuses and foresight. She is one to prioritize trying to kill as she is capable of sneaking up on you and doing a lot of damage just like her description says. But, she is still a 2nd tier attacker.

Agree with what you said, but 10k+ without off up? Nah. Maybe with Boba lead, but otherwise, nope.

Jedi2407

I have her fully geared and equipped at 6* right now. Having her on a Dooku led team is a nice synergy--she gets foresight on her special, then offense up when she evades. I think of her as a F2P (aka "poor man's") version of Rey. I subbed her in for a 7* Sid about a week ago and have been able to stay top 10 with her in my lineup.
