    Why is he the only character in the game that requires a specialized team to beat? and he will beat your whole team solo if you don't come with that

    Maybe if your team was all in the yellow, but Fives is fine the way he is. Just have to plan around who you're facing

    Why do we have to plan against one character that can win 1v5, when no other characters can do anything of the sort

    The whole game is based on playing match-ups. If I face an all jedi team, I'll bring in my anti-jedi characters. If I face RG, Poe, or ST Han, then I bring in QGJ, If I face a droid team, I brink in a taunter. If I play a Fives team, I bring in a healer.

    Ok, you're right.

    Fives should be able to win 1v5 vs anyone as long as they don't specialize their team

    But every other character in the game gets to maybe win 1v1 or 1v2 if they're extremely lucky

    Haha I called this before it got started... Fives at level 76 is going to be hitting twice in his basic and he retaliates... There is going to be a lot of complaints... Haha.

    I love myFives for the very reason posted.

    Finally, a man who knows what he is talking about..

    BTW at 76 Fives applies the speed down before the attack, so he double attacks EVERY basic attack

    Broken as you can get...

    +1

    You wouldn't bring an all Jedi squad against a Dooku led team with Sid and Maul would you? Strategy and tactics.

    He really isn't a threat to a balanced team man.Bring a single healer or bring daka or something. He's slow and tanky.

    While i do agree that may be he should get a small health or protection nerf, i feel that finally he fits in the tank role. He forces you to spend resources to control him during the fight or else you end up losin a 1v4, thats his way of protecting the glass cannons. For example, you could use your rg with the only purpose of keeping 5s stunned to nulify his impact on the match, but it would mean you are not stunning other toons.
    I like the role he is filling, and feel that this is how tanks should work, with "implicit taunts" if that makes any sense. I agree that he is a bit too strong right now though.

    Fives can kill 3 full health chars by himself. I ran a 3v1 against him with Poggle, GS, 86 and he killed all three. He is a really tough char to kill. Hard to fight him with no healer.

    He does gods work against squishlord teams and teams with no utility.

    He also has a lot of hard counters in both play style and in specific characters. I'd say he's good, but there are "better" general purpose characters.

    He will apply slow, it might need to be tweaked to apply it and wait till next turn to double strike. I think Fives with Phasma is a major tag team. Fives is so slow, the only thing going for him is he attacks back, and at 76 he will get to attack more times ... He has a weakness, he can be stunned easily.

    My friend I am not endorsing a change to Fives by any stretch of the imagination he is probably he most well rounded even character in the game. He is what we were promised also slower characters will do slightly more damage. The only difference at 76 with Fives is instead of relying on turn meter manipulation and speed, he is rewarded with an additional attack for an ability he has to bestow slow on enemies. Fives isn't broken, he is pretty much finally coming into the top tier of characters.

    Fight him at 76

    There is no better character.

    Fight Dooku(L) with RG, FIves and 2 dps, Rey, GS

    This team is the best cause even if you kill everyone FIves will dead your whole team by himself
