Possible buff for "Fives"

Leave 5s alone.

He's now serviceable with the double tap. And even with that he hits pretty soft.

At least he doesn't counter, then a bonus turn, stunning and ability blocking 1-2 toons. Then dodges your attack, gaining offense up, then attacking and getting another bonus attack stunning and/or ability blocking 1-2 of your toons and then caps it off with force lightning stunning 1-2 of your toons. Just sayin.

I agree that fives needs a buff, I think he needs the ability to heal his teams protection with every shot! :D

This isn't a bad idea actually. Maybe he could also give the team offense, speed and crit up every time he uses his special. Along with the heal to protection with every shot of his basic, this may make 5's viable finally.

I lost in arena 1v1 with a g9 omega Fives against a g9 omega Rey. Both had full protection. It was a super rare circumstance where RG/Han/QGJ suckered me into ignoring her. She hit and got foresight, so counters did nothing, her speed was too high, and my slow never stuck. She might have gotten some favorable rng, but there you have it - a cannon, who does high damage the whole match, can also occasionally 1v1 Fives at the end even though that's his strength. Give the nerfs a rest.

Don't nerf Rey either, btw, even though I'm saying she's a better toon than Fives.

The same can be done with Yoda at the end of a match. Although Yoda is squishy, he keeps getting foresight until 5s is under 50%. Yoda will be full if at this point because foresight and should outlast 5's (especially if he lands a stun once under 50%.) So there, even without favorable RNG a squishy toon can finish off fives 1 on 1 at the end of a match.

It's one thing to lose because your strategy wasn't right, and another to lose 3v1 to Fives.

These are the same thing.

No they aren't. If you don't have stunners or tanky toons you will lose to Fives. QGJ, GS, IG-86 all gone.

Which means you are using the wrong strategy.
I am perfectly fine with Fives taking out three glassy DPS. That's how it should be.
Tell me: if Fives can be ignored while the other 4 get taken out because he's not dangerous at the start of a match, and he can be teamed up and slaughtered at the end of a match, what good is he?
That's how Fives was for the first 4 months of this game.
He's not broken now. He's finally useful.

my 5* G9 fives is just barely viable. he can't 1v3 in arena. maybe once he's 7*s but it will be a month fo now, first 7* QGJ and 6* Daka

Great to hear people agree that 5s is not in desperate need of a nerf.
The latest cap increase JUST made him serviceable.
Previously he was not even viable in arena.

It would be a pity to bring him back to where he was after just a month or so.
Cause if you look at history, i.e. Poe and Bariss, once the nerf hammer is swung, lol that toon ceases to exist. (ok i'm exaggerating a little)

SMH Fives just hit my Old Ben 6 times in a row. He single handily took out Old Ben, Sidious, and Luminara. LMFAO RNG
