I am wondering if a 4 star Old-Ben's 2nd ability has a acceptable successful rate against 6-7 stars characters in end game PVP?
Old-Ben's ability is really awesome and I would like to have Old-Ben in my pvp team but starring him up is impossible for me. So if he not worth it, I will just give up my thoughts on him:/

There is a parabolic curve with star levels, with 4* and 5* straddling the arc. You want your heroes to be 4* minimum before assessing their potential.
With Ben at 4*, he will still perform extremely well as his kit is primarily in buffs and debuffs. Max out his Mind Tricks and max his gear and ge will still be legit.
I personally really do not like him and feel he wastes a slot for a healer or serious damage dealer. I would take most other characters over him such as sid, lumi, consular, daka, bobba fett all of which are easily farmable without chroma packs.
Others seem to think he is stupid good and hate going against him on the other hand, but I feel his usefullness is massively overstated and situational.
Star level for hi in particular is unimportant, if anything a lower star level means less hp so slightly higher chance of your death passive going off haha.
Thanks for mentioning this - the farmable / not farmable thing I think has been oversold and overstressed - at least for some toons. 4* toons with good abilities are totally competitive with many 7* toons. Vader comes to mind here especially. Old Ben as well. I think as long as you have decent health and good skills you are just fine at 4*. My 4* Vader is completely capable and competitive against other 7* toons.
I got Grand Moff Tarkin today and geared him up to level 6, currently level 55 running Mace Windu, Anakin, Luminara, Luke Skywalker, and FOT Pilot as my main PvP team, placing in the top 200, 14,720 power.
Is his offense down ability worth swapping out Mace Windu? The rest of my team does good damage, so it could work great with the raw damage my team can put out and can also serve as a good replacement for my 3* General Veers as he'll take forever to star up.
Having said this he is still faster then darth maul and if you haven't killed him yet use it first round to avoid a smashing
This isn't completely true, especially when talking about old ben....because in a high dps team you will have other priorities to attack first leaving old Ben to skill lock and remove turns and make your team weak af, and if you kill him before a all high dps are down...you're in for a world of hurt I tell you lol with those 5 buffs, and when facing the computer, this set up will wipe the floor with any high star healing team xD your argument is invalid
Would have to disagree here, 4* vader is very capable against 7* toons. Atleast in my experience with using him.
Agree also. 4* Ben, 4* Vader. Have to look at the stats and abilities - not the stars. Vader at 4* maxed has over 11k health - more than many 7* toons. He has a damage on his culling blade that does a min of 5k damage for me and will often do 8-11k. That's on top of him having 3x DOT on other toons. What's not to like there - that takes no back seat to many other 7* toons.
Ben is one of the most effective toons in the game - meter control + damage down + special block is incredibly potent. You have to get him hitting as early in the match as possible and then you'll see tremendous impact.
