6 starring mods - is it worth the hassal?

I upgrade mods to 6-dot if:

- it's an arena mod
- it's a pilot mod and it's crucial that I squeeze every last point of speed into that ship
- it's a great mod for that particular character that I don't see myself replacing it anytime soon (eg my bossk set. Tenacity mods have quite a niche use and now that I have a decent set I don't see myself putting thousands of energy into mayyybe finding more)

I've been slicing mods to 6pip more than farming mods because I want to fully max out my fleet arena pilots eventually.

For arena team definitely.
Pilots used elsewhere in game too.
Just pilots not in my view.

Arena team mods yes.

However for new players do not six dot mods right away. Since you need G12 for them Six dotting them too early removes the option of putting arena level mods on weaker toons to get past certain legendary levels, like seven starring Thrawn.

Its a tricky process that really rely's on you having static mods or many G12.

I agree with Gorem. Theyre great, but you can get super frustrated if all your best speed mods are 6dot and youre new, shiny character that should go first is either just 5-6 star or requires such gear that takes weeks-months to get to g12.

6* dots mods are amazing. im currently at 75 mods of 6*. its not just for arena, for all game modes. lets say this. having a toon with all mods at 6* make him like he have 7 mods of 5*. this is a great investment, mods stick with you.
the jumps on offense, HP, defense, Crit damage, potency, tenacity, and crit avoidance are pretty huge. protection primaries arent worth to upgrade imo, but the rest are making the characters much more strong.
example is my Kylo Ren. already 2 people told me my kylo was an absolute beast and made their life much harder in GA. (and my last FO team had 7 defenses in TW, although the enemy was super efficient and killed our whole FO territory with 1-2 tries)
what i have is 4 mods of 6* level on Kylo - defense primary, offense primary, CD primary and HP primary. its not even optimal mod set btw, its just powerful mods that can bring toon to new level and make them a nightmare. this is 100% worth outside arena and pilots too. darth traya as a revan counter also needs CA 6* imo and defense primary 6*. wampa need offense 6* mods to solo haat reliably...
a lot of toons, standalone ones / huge stats toons especially, benefit greatly from 6*: Nest, Wampa, CLS, Zaalbar+Mission, Sion, Yolo, Kylo..

its worth it. start getting as much as 6* mods and put on your g12 toons i mentioned above.

If u want to be competitive in the top of the arena or GA then yes, you need 6* mods. If you are happy being below the top 100 in the arena then no you don't

I third this point. I just picked up a speed square with +21 speed secondary. I put it on Hoda until I could 6 dot it and move it to Revan, but then when I did that I realised I can't move the one on Revan to Hoda because he's not G12. I've ended up losing 5 speed on Hoda to gain 2 speed on Revan, which overall probably makes my team worse (Hoda was fast enough to go before some Revans on my shard, now that happens less.

They’re a 2-edged sword. If you want to get 7* legendaries with undergeared toons, then maybe don’t 6* all your best mods.

Yes, they're worth it, you just need to be smart about which mods you do it for.

Do it for mods you don't plan on moving around, since they are only equippable by G12 characters. Speed arrows are a no-brainer since they're universally useful and you probably aren't moving them around too much. And of course the +2 speed is nice.

As pointed out, they also provide a small boost to pilots, so doing it for your top crew is worth it too - again, be careful if you use them in multiple teams on the ground and want to switch their mods around. I just 6e'd a few mods for Ackbar even though the mods themselves were so-so, to give him a couple extra points of speed and get my AOE/double assist off first in ship arena.
