Ahsoka is terrible on defence. She always targets the Tie Fighters foresight with her special, which speeds up the enemy capital ship, wastes her big attack, and leaves her without a taunt removal when you need it. She is also an easy kill if you are trying to cause a reinforcement instead of the capital ship using a special.

Fives Umbaran Starfighter isn't perfect, but in a target lock heavy fleet I think he will do a lot better than Ahsoka.

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.[/quote wrote:


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.

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.

Please, can we start using more than just the General Discussion section? If we want CG to listen, we must view and talk in the feedback sections. All the best suggestions get moved from General Discussion to feedback and they die out. They die out because we let them die out.
