Left Boba on the shelf? You'll regret it.
Boba Fett. The man. The myth.The investment. I know guys...you hear it daily in the forums. Fives or Boba? Poe or Boba? Truth is farm Poe and that pretty much wraps up the discussion. I'm kidding. Sorta.
The sleeping giant that is heavily underestimated is Boba Fett. While he becomes a decent attacker at 7* he admittedly underperforms for most peoples tastes in damage. They say his rez isn't anything special. I agree while it has won me an other wise losing game once or twice it's really not an advantage. They say his ability block isn't anything special. 40% Potency it may not hit all 5 targets but bet money it will hit 3/5. That's not that special I admit. Now all he has left is that gimpy 45% extra critical damage. 50% at 70 may I add. That's nothing special am I right?
I could tell you a COMPLETELY free to play team right now in the current meta and I'm guessing even more so at 70 can dominate 95% of team comps on offense. Steamroll to rank #1 as you please. Don't expect it to hold that rank for long. But it will get you there guaranteed.
Darth Sidious
Luminara
Poogle
IG-88
Boba Fett (Lead)
The synergy is simple. Poogle hits offense up/ Speed up for droids....Sid hits dots....IG-88 goes buckwild crazy. He has inate +180% critical damage. With Boba as lead that rolls up to 230% critical damage. And thanks to ole Sid's dots IG-88 can also get up to 75% damage increase...+ Poogles offense up...... Pop his AOE..kaboom. Keep in mind he also has a chance to ability block on that AOE for later reference.
But Boba's leader ship has everyone hyped up. Even Luminara can crit a squishie for 9-10k..I do it daily.......then there is Boba's slow plodding self. He looks at his opponents all crippled and stuff. Why not hit them for another AOE juiced up by offense up/+45% critical damage and another ability block! Just what they need. Relaxation. Good chance most teams are toast or "toastish" and the few that are left clinging to a few bars are probably ability blocked. Steamroller synergy. They did it in soft launch...it got nerfed...but there were buffs...nice buffs for Sid and Boba. Things have changed.
And while Boba doesn't make this team his +45% critical damage soon to be 50% makes everyone hit like a truck when they crit. And toons crit a lot and the more damage toons do the more efficient the 50% critical damage will be. As we glide to 70 Boba's leadership skill while not the best in the game is up there at the top. Look at it like this, if you ever played a MMORPG how valuable would a piece of gear be that gave your character 50% critical damage. You would farm months for that gear. Thats why I hit him to 7* and give him lead in my arena team. If you look at a team as one entity and not 5 different characters you can assemble a vicious synergy just as you would in a MMORPG.
He is a long term investment. But I give you my humble opinion he will stay relevant at 70. He is worth the grind. Take it with a grain of salt. Good luck!
