He works very decently with a full Republic fleet, which is a relatively easy fleet to build since there are so many quickly farmable characters who fly Republic ships.

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.

Dont let the tm gain he gives away fool you, its a great ship. Super tanky, good specials. I hate fighting it.

Edit: As for being better than Ahsoka.... Id guess yes. I dont usually have problems fighting ahsoka.

Have you seen those Target Lock clips where almost the entire enemy fleet is downed in 1 shot by Umbaran ship?

On defense he will almost never use Missle Pods correctly. Most of the time he will target a single person who is target locked and only hit that single ship. On offense you can blow up everything easily though.

His buff removal and offense down on basic is still incredibly annoying to fight against.

Umbaran Starfighter is the 6th fastest non-capital ship there is (before you count his guaranteed turn meter gain).

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.

I use Umbaran because it can target lock and take a beating. His normal attack must be the least damaging attack. But useful against target locked tanks. So overall a very useful ship and worth getting.

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.

Amazing ship and fits in any team and any tactics. A must have.

yep

I've been using his ship since the beginning.

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!

Annoyingly tanky for a ship that simultaneously gives offense down and defense down. I try to avoid it when ever possible.
