I have become obsessed with my current GW addition! Fives is so much fun to have in my team. He assists, counters, and even slows! He is also a tanky character, so you can get away with a 4* and still pull some weight. He's not very good atm in Arena, but who knows in the future. If you're on the fence about him, DO IT!P.S. He also has a super fast animation, so you don't have to wait forever (like Daka and others)

That speed reduction is a killer!

Fives have been on my GW team forever, max level, max gear but only 4*, as everyone back in December was saying he wasn't worth working on(not realizing they only talked Arena), so I focused on other toons instead, hoping that one would replace him, didn't happen.Now I'm back on track and farming him, 5* tomorrow

Easily the best hero 1v1. I get nervous against him pretty often and he's on my list after I finish Daka. He's a huge asset against the speed meta.

But Fives isn't. I've been on both sides of his wrath. I've taken down many 1 vs 3 in arena in the earlier stages. Just last night a half bar Fives took down both my 6* Phasma and 7* Lumi as last man standing.

What do you guys think of this arena team?

Phasma as leader
Fives
Daka
Kylo
Either Sid/Poe

Most people pick Dooku because of his speed, but does Fives' basic attack make up for that?

I have him maxed and he's the best toon in the game

I can only chime in. My fully maxed Fives has a constant spot in my top 10 arena team. He shrugs off blows that would floor other toons and he slows the enemy's game down considerably if you use him well. The assist attack special mitigates the fact that he's slow. Also, his crits aren't half bad!

I use him in my arena team and he is good but has to be supported well. Poe IMO helps 5s a lot because without the turn meter reduction and expose 5s assist can't hit hard enough and acts after most of the popular arena toons right now. i also use Sid over phasma as leader to give him more punch.

i might try him out based on these testimonies. for now, he's still a non-threat against any of my teams.

He's not very popular right now, but if he was maxed and put in top teams, he would be very very annoying. He can be a deciding factor.

no one in the top 100 uses him on my shard, so i haven't had a chance to fight him in arena. if anyone in the top 3 uses him regularly, i'll be sure and get some good feedback, but in gw, even at 7*, he doesn't bother me one bit. the slows don't even affect the outcome of the match

Same.

Lol, I post the above and I lose to Fives the same day in Arena. A fluke, RNG what not :tongue:!

Fives is one of the toons I hate seeing against me in GW. He's like a harder to kill Dooku. :smile:

I love fives and he was one of my first to max out. Unfortunately he hasn't been in my arena team for a long time as he is too slow.
He and Rex need a lobot/QGJ leader to speed them up.
However, he is in my top five Star Wars characters.
