Search yielded no results, so let's talk 5* Fac.

I have Fac at 5* (halfway to 6). I want to use him in arena, so I'm slowly gearing him up. With who I have available, he's likely going to be paired with Lando, RG (because I don't have stHan), HRSc and either Biggs or FOTP (at least until I get wedge). Is Fac going to function well in this setting?

TL;DR
Is a 5* Fac useable in PvP in a December Shard?

  • It depends on your mods and gear. You'll definitely be a target though for more than one reason.
    Biggs is useless without Wedge, FOTP doesn't have synergy with Lando lead and HRSc is single target dps which isn't viable in this meta.

    I understand it's not the ideal team, but I gotta work with what I have at the moment. There is some synergy if I keep hrsc and Biggs with Lando, and I'm hoping Fac+RG can add to it until I get wedge.

    Basically I want to take Fac to max gear+mods in preparation for when he's farmable, but I want to use him as well. If he's not going to survive at 5*, I won't make him my number 1 priority - I'll work on him casually.

    At max gear he is fine at 5*, although again, to get the max out of him you need him at 7*!

    That's the ultimate goal. One day.
  • Re your team etc it's been said above mate so I'll just comment on SF. Yes, he's viable at 5* with gear maxed and proper mods. If he's your only dispelled though you'll need to speed him up. Hope this helps, he's a beast and will win you fights that you'd lose without him (especially if you can get 5's in your team as well)

    This does help. I do have QGJ, but really want to try something else - QGJ only dispelles every third turn. I'm not looking for top 10, but would be nice if he could take me to t50.
  • I've had arena fights where it's my SF v 2 other toons and (depending who they are) he'll win, his health steal is insane so you'll want to mod his health as much as you can mate. Think of it this way, if his protection is gone and people attack him, he'll likely counter and top his health up, which is pretty powerful lol. But yeah, speed and health, and I'd also say tenacity as he's easy to stun mate.

    And agree re QGJ, pretty much only use him for GW now (though the new raid will likely change that).
  • If you get him to max gear level, he will be great and inspire fear into the hearts of others. He's there for dispel on counter, and on his basic. I'm on a December shard, ran him forever at 6* g9, tho I think you'd want him at g10 before inserting him
  • Imo almost any character who's 5* is useable in arena. I think you're missing out on maybe 10% health and a few percentage of damage points you get in the jump between 5 and 7*. Gear and mods are much more important to a character's viability. The only issue there is that people will see a 5* character and target you more.
