Dooku

Bloodydmg

I'm new here just looking for some advice in arena . I usually come across dooku teams and was wondering if I should take him out first or leave him for last ?

His counter really does some damage along side bonus attacks . I usually save him for last but around them my team is drained and sometimes he just destroys my team at then end . Any advice would be much helped I'm level 38 at the moment

Is Dooku worth farming in hard battles ???

Sgt_Strategy

Takes a while but ye. I think hes also got a battle in Squad cantina

ajmiller

Definitely. You may see a bunch of people saying he's overrated and all but from experience, he's worth it

Abyss

Dooku is a cool toon and fun to use.

Its not that hes overrated, its that ppl who dont yet know how he works or how to beat him cry that hes OP (which hes far from it).

He is very squishy which is why hes a liability in your arena team (i use him in arena lol).

Hes fun/effective when you control him BUT when the AI controls him hes a joke. Just save him for last, its an easy kill

Jotham_Feyt

First off the fact he has a bonus attack and counter attack is ridiculous, second when teamed with a character such as phasma he's practically unstoppable. On average dooku attacks 3 times in a row by himself with other team bonuses dooku can destroy a whole team in 2 or 3 turns, please fix this

Triqui

There are characters that do more than 3x the damage he does. He's nice because of the stuns, but there are better chars to deal damage

Welcome! You are the 1,472,528th person to say this.

But he isn't. He is annoying, but his damage is quite poor. His stun is awesome, but can't be counted on every time.

If you think he is OP, wait till you see the likes of Rey, FOTP, Leia, etc.

Anraeth

Are you by chance referring to end game 60+, or lessor levels? Typically at end game levels I find he is annoying but not devastating a team. More like a gnat that keeps stunning your healers. He usually dies quickly. I disagree he should be changed it is part of his character and would destroy him as a character. I change my team composition to handle him swiftly. Especially with the ability to 7 star him, I would start coming up with counter rather than demanding a nerf. There are far worse characters to contend with, I'll gladly take Dooku over Princess and 7 star TIE hiding behind Poe.

ThalosKirano

He's far from OP. Sure he can get a hit in right at the start but he's so easy to kill using just 1 turn for 1-2 of your characters.

Here we go again, same crying always about dooku hes not op just L2P.

SolidSnake

no, he's not worth farming in hard battles...

But he is worth farming in Cantina, maybe after you finished with your Cantina first choice first.

But if you like him (I do), use hard battles to farm him untill you unlock his Cantina, will be much faster than waiting.

Lianara

I love him. This game is supposed to be fun, and Dooku is a blast! Not really a game changer in late game, but if you're low level, he can certainly help. I still use him in my main squad, though his power is diminishing due to drop rate of his shards.
I farm him at every opportunity.

AluvisZ

Dooku can farm at cantina stage6.

Cantina stage6 unlock at LV.69

If you hurry, you have to pay to buy the energy level up.

WJ28

So I'm getting the impression that his effectiveness wears off the higher my level,
Currently I'm level 48 so how useful would he be too me. I currently have a team of phasma sid luke lumi and boba

This is a myth I've been hearing daily since I was level 30something. I'm 61 now, Dooku is on both my Arena and GW teams. Many teams have definitely moved beyond him, but he has a unique combination of speed, counter-attacks and anti-Jedi features. Now that he will be farmable, and especially with GW wrecked, you will be seeing more of him in the future. (Of course everything can change.)

Merilon

Dooku's strength is to make the first round 5vs4 or 5vs3 quite reliably if the enemy has no dooku and one jedi at least.
Also not dealing major dmg his counters help to bring down sid fast, since he always starts with aoe

Abyss

Like all toons he has his uses.
Needs a serious buff to be OP though

WJ28

Is he a 3 star's initially when unlocked

Smh dooku could not destroy 1/2 of a team in 2-3 turns much less a full team as you suggest on his very best day smh

Exageration absent fact falls on def ears.

Correct (sort of)
Currently he hust does not scale well. He has squat for health and virtually no atk power. All the counters and bonus atk's dont really make up for it or even come close. He has a great stun vs jedi but outside of that its unreliable and hes an easy target in arena

(I use him in arena because sadly hes one of my best toons).

On offence he is often nice even at endgame BUT on defence hes an extreme liability which is why top players are not using him and many others move away from him.

We will see what hes like at max gear lvl 70 but at lvl60 max gear he massivly underperforms and the only way he would be a true asset is if he got a small damage buff (not alot because he will often atk many extra times) but when you pull off that magical 4x atks in a row and barely scratch your opponet, there is an issue me thinks

Pipe down f2p nub

There is a 4* gear VII dooku I use as an ally. He has about as much hp as my 4* gear VII Sid and that is my motivation for farming Dooku. He does pretty well if at a decent level, it just takes a while to get him there. The cantina node will definitely help in the late game though.

CronicTheHedgehog

Count Dooku needs to be nerfed badly. His 100% counter chance "flawless ripostle" needs to be lowered to like 50% or nerf him in other ways. I have lost countless characters to him in PvP and Galatic War. If you face him first and your team becomes destroyed by the rest of the team from being too weak attacking Dooku. You can't leave him last as he can destroy an entire team by himself once weakened even if he is a good 5 levels below them. It gets extremely annoying having to face him in GW and PvP especially. I have not seen much talk about him at all is there going to be a nerf for the most powerful character in the game Count "GodMode" Dooku any time soon?

Pitchblack47

There isn't much talk about him on here because the conclusion from weeks ago was that he's not op once you get to the end game. You can do a quick search and you will find dozens of threads about new players complaining about him. He's only difficult to deal with in the beginning if you have limited options in your hats yet pool.

CronicTheHedgehog

Both a friend and I have almost all the characters together and are in our level 40's. Both top 1000 rank he is top 100. Now we both agree the same even with his full team of revival/healers especially against ones Jedis. In GW it can be slightly easier since you know he is there, but still too OP. In PvP I can't even see if that person has Count Dooku or not so how am I supposed to set a team up against him? Also if I have to worry about him with 3+ characters I get destoyed in battle. So how exactly are we supposed to win? It seems we only ever lose if he is in the team. Whom is best against him and what are general tips for playing against him? Even if people don't agree with him being the single best **** character he is easily top 5 best characters and his mix of skills is what makes him OP especially when many people use Jedi. Evade, turn meter on evasion, multi stuns, chain attacks, anti-jedi, always counters (that alone is the problem you will always be attacked twice). Not one other character gives me problems with defeating entire teams. Some may be annoying like Poe Dameron, Cad Bane, Darth Maul, but not to the extent of being so OP.

CronicTheHedgehog

I see my rant has been moved here. My statement stays and also adding that if Count Dooku has Phasmas leader power he is unstoppable. He will attack 3 times before your one. PLEASE NERF DOOKU.

Enance

I don't know where to go to rant about Count Dooku but seriously ****!!!! He has a stun on his basic attack, stun on his second ability 100% counter, gets three attacks in a row more often than not. To top it off I've had to fight him five times in a row today in Galactic Wars barely skimming by with near death toons every round. Now I'm currently fighting a gear lvl 8, lvl 62, 4 star that is simply wrecking my team time after time while I'm level 58 all gear lvl 7+. Screamed and cursed at my tablet an unhealthy amount over it and I think 4 of five teams had Phasma as leader which makes him more of a nightmare!!!! Speaking of Phasma the AI have probably more like a 60% chance to get an extra attack than the intended 14, 16, 18, 20 which also makes me extremely frustrated. Back to Dooku, a four star should not be getting critical hits of 3600. I can go on and on about his bull crap because I've fought him at least 30 times today but I'm done.
