Edit: As for being better than Ahsoka.... Id guess yes. I dont usually have problems fighting ahsoka.
Fives really fulfills his potential when you combine him with ships that excel at spamming target locks. The trio of TIE Fighters especially. Blanket the enemy fleet with target locks, then use Fives, Boba Fett, and Mace Windu to unleash special attacks that hit every target-locked enemy simultaneously. It's not uncommon to kill 3 or more ships at once with this tactic.
JC's ship is shockingly better than both on auto and is strong already without of a lot of upgrading and fewer stars.
I'm lazy with ships but still finish between 100-200 daily with payout time auto battle sniping and I only did the exact bare minimum for the zeta challenge so don't take my advice.
Good luck.
Remove Retribution from Maul skill make Deadly combo useless.
He is a must farm ship.
His buff removal and offense down on basic is still incredibly annoying to fight against.
Fives Umbaran Starfighter isn't perfect, but in a target lock heavy fleet I think he will do a lot better than Ahsoka.
Long answer, yyyyyeeeesssss
He uses target locks to wipe buffs with his basic, and hit additional targets and deal extra damage with his special... that also inflicts target lock.
He is pretty tanky AND deals decent damage as well as inflicting offense and defense down. 5s's ship is more versatile than he is as a character, and that's saying a lot because he can fit in practically anywhere and be effective.
Ashoka can be nice in reserve if you need to remove a taunt or counter (from scimitar) fast. Don't use her in your starting lineup, it's terrible on defence.
I have moved him as a reinforcement now that I have Boba.
Umbaran is fast but he grants TM so it messes up my offense at the beginning.
However once the battle is already doing a little TM doesn't make that much of a difference and if TL's are stacked up by Boba and TFP,
kaboom!
I don't have 5s ship, but it sounds pretty good based on above. It depends on how frequent you are applying target locks from the sound of it. I still havent figured out how to improve that. It seems very RNG, and heavily influences whether a battle is won or lost.
I think Ahsoka is much more important then Umbaran. When Maul's ship comes in, it's a deal breaker unless you can dispel that retribution. Ahsoka is one of the few across the board dispelers for ships. Umbaran just sits there most of the time and does minimal dmg compared to the rest. The only time he is a threat is when Plo or Mace can put a taunt on him while attackers are still up; this combo is extremely effective; otherwise, he is rather lackluster.
I use him under an Ackbar lead.. 6* ship piloted by a G11 fives... hes very hard to take down
The question in thread was if 5s ship is good and somehow now got to if Ashoka's ship is better than 5s lol. It is an impossible comparison as 2 ships are completely different and both are very good in their roles. It would really depend on ur strategy and ur team. Two most common setups nowadays are 2 attackers and 3 tankier ships or 3 attackers and 2 tankier ships, rarely you see 4 attackers and 1 tank.
So if you need tankier ships, 5s is most durable ship in the game, can hit multiple enemies with special or if targeting single target locks 100%, can dispel, and becomes faster as match progresses due to 20% tm gain (albeit his attack gives enemy 25% tm gain). Biggs for tount and 5s for everything above is imo winning combination for tankier ships. Both in my first team.
If you need attackers Ashoka is the only fast high damage dealing ship with dispel, so comes handy, but she is not as fast as some other ships. Poe is the fastest followed by ITP and FOTP and 4th fastest is actually 5s. I run all of them in my first team and when playing on offence Ashoka's ship does not get to take a turn at all before she dies. However, on AI situation is completely different. One way or another a worthy ship.
I'll just leave this here.

No I get what you are saying, but a common meta is to have Maul's ship come in as a reinforcement and immediately buff. If you don't have a handy dispel to come in and reinforce as well, often times this decides the match. In this way, I was saying Ashoka is more important, not that Umbaran wasn't.
Actually, the question was is 5s ship good, AND is it better than Ahsoka's. So the thread discussing Ahsoka being better than 5s is very valid. I agree that the 2 ships are different, but it wasn't my thread.
