7 star Malak or GAS

I feel like GAS slots into more teams. Great with clones, Padme, JKR, GL Rey, and I hear he's good with JKL (hope to find out myself later this month.) Basically if you are running anything light side except rebels he has a place. Malak is a monster, but maybe a little more limited these days? I only really use him with Drevan, and I see him on GL Kylo squads but he is by no means a must-have for that team to work. So it depends on what fits your particular roster best, but I think GAS is more versatile.

Post your roster

You are right that GAS is not very useful at 6 stars. He's an attacker and has to be maxed. GAS can shine in some GL line-ups and counters but other than that GAS only goes with the 501st.

Malak on the other hand is truly versatile. He can be used as an attacker, tank or as a support. His unique to inflct fear whenever being hit by DoT or crit dmg. makes him an excellent toon to control the battle. In fact, you can solo quite some low damage teams (e.g. OR and Ewoks) with Malak.

To enjoy the fear effect you don't need to 7 star Malak. Eventually of course you also want him at 7 stars and probably reliced to an certain extend. But he's already useful prior to that. You can put him in any line-up and your opponent will not take it lightly, even if he is just 6 stars.

Jedi Knight Luke? I switched from GAS/Clone team to a Luke team that includes him. Been doing better with it so far, though neither at its true potential yet. Anakin is still 6*. But that will change on Friday when I finally have enough currency to 7* him, and he will jump immediately to relic 7 after that. Once he's done I can finish getting Luke to relic 7 (currently 4).

Would a 5* gas be viable in a padme line up? Or would c3po be better? Otherwise gas could go with JKR instead of old Ben?
