Dooku instantly put to use on my team at 4 stars (taking place of a 7 star toon) and still takes me to the top at 5. I took a long long break to farm ben, and no contest. On my team ben does not provide enough offense or defense. Dookus stuns and speed is more defense than ben would ever give against most of the teams i go up against. Only thing ben has going for him is drawing out the last 45 seconds before losing.
When i use han bens special is nice to keep ben alive. But by the time 3 round taunt is over and han is still in the green, i still cant kill the other team in time, lol. So i think unless you have Rey and or leia, maybe, ben is not going to cut it.
My ben is only 4 stars so take that for what it is worth. Maxed everything in abilities and still not fully veared.
I thought mind tricks would be better for defense than it really is. I am onlu 30 potency, not 50, but i still tag all 5 enemies. Even if rey gets tagged with o down, it only lasts two turns. If ability block only one. And reys turns are fast. Her second turn comes practically right after Ben, then before you know it she's back to one shotting your toons.
Dooku is better defense because he is faster than rey as long as someone hits him, occasionally. He does damage plus counter and double attacks which easily keeps reys foresight away, and he still finds the time to practically perma-stun/block one enemy jedi. So Rey dies. Basically if there is a jedi on the other team, dooku locks him down, while passively doing MORE damage on his counter than his basic when other people hit him.
Against jedi dooks is ridiculous. Ben i can see shining only with uber offense like rey, but esp with a stealthed leia.
BTW, if you choose to get Ben, don't waste mats on his Unique, Strike Me Down.
Firstly, it doesn't work. It only lasts for one turn. It's bugged.
Secondly, it isn't necessary, because even if you don't gear or star your Ben, AI won't hardly touch Ben.
Thirdly, it's not because AI is so smart it doesn't want to unleash the buff. It's because after Ben does his first Mind Trick, there's no reason to care if he's even there, anymore.
Fourthly, on defense a human player will have the same reasoning. If you block Ben a few turns, you can ignore him. If he gets off Mind Tricks, you can ignore him for another 4 turns, anyway. No point in attacking him even if he didn't have Strike Me Down... and esp because Strike Me Down doesn't work.
So just don't waste any purples. Ben's high health and Evasion Up and pitiful damage is enough reason to ignore him. Strike Me Down is completely and utterly useless.
Unlocking Dooku was the biggest surprise. I didn't even want to do it but got him in a chromium. He is awesome.
Unlocking Ben was the most exciting day I have had in a long time. And he is the biggest disappointment, so far. Mind Tricks underwhelming. After nearly a month farming him, I guess I'll have a use for him after another month farming Rey. I'm also working on RP.
Dooks is very versatile. He's the most OP toon I have unlocked, so far. And the evasion leadership is only a small fraction of the reason. You see him dancing around the battlefield nonstop when you fight him and it's annoying. And you still usually beat him. When he's on your team, you realize he's doing all that dancing because he's winning you matches. Matches that you wouldn't otherwise win on offense. Lots of 'em. Including matches against Ben Leads. He kills Ben leads.
And as I said my Dooks is only 5 stars. And I gave him my second furnace. And I am strongly considering giving him my first omegas. While he's still 5 stars.
