I’m about to commit to the bad batch and probably take them to relic (over time since I need to farm them and get gear), but was wondering which 5th to do. My main 3 options are Shaak Ti, Rex, and Omega(Shaak and Rex are already farmed to 7* but none are upgraded at all). I was wondering which is the best character to go with them. Since I plan to go for GS sometime, I may not want to take Rex since he’ll be needed with GAS, but then again, I’ll want him geared for GAS anyway. But I’ll also need to power Shaak for GS event. Since I have the others farmed, avoiding the long Omega farm is a factor. If there is another good 5th option that I missed, please let me know. Advice is much appreciated.

I asked the same question a few weeks ago and the responses were too use rex or shaak. I mean they both are needed anyway if you're planning on getting gas. But farming omega as soon as she's farmable is probably smart as if it turns out that she really is the best you can still swap her in later

Echo for the speed is a good first choice, Hunter and tech g10 requires only one kyro so thats probably achievable

Some have said she’s pretty solid in the team and some have said she is garbage, so I don’t know what to believe.Some of the initial stuff that was put out for her being trash, was not always using/moding her "correctly". She is not really built be a direct high damage dealer, she "needs" to be used as an assist attacker who is dealing a lot of damage overall, and not in single hits, in part due to true damage. That is my understanding of the situation, but I'm not the expert. She was billed as a high single damage dealer, which she is not. She also messes up the current flow the BB has without her. Rex or Cody far better 5th members, but they are not really needed. Omega is not worth the single shard farming investment, or the Kyro at this time.

Unless LV is your goal, or you are a whale, or you are at endgame doing LS geo consistently, the BB are not worth the single shard grind, or the kyro. Omega giving the least return for your efforts of them all. I know it’s only my own opinion, but I don’t see any reason for anyone to want to grind the bad batch just now, unless whaling. They can be countered by so many teams. I am full F2P, considering going for LV depending on how his other reqs are and how good he is. I have SLKR and my guild does do LS Geo mostly, but no CPit yet. But the bad batch are a really good offensive team, similar to imp troopers. My 51k bad batch all 3* and 4 man beat a 115k R bossk bounty hunter team with full banners, so they are very good on offense. But I am holding off on a 5th for the team, will see the options later, but the team operate well with just them 4.Bb are a great team. My advice would be to gear the full 5 with omega, but starting with the other 4 up to g11 then g12 when 7*. It will be a long farm as they’re very costly to gear, so you’ll be able to decide your best course of action after that in a few weeks/months. In the meantime, only gear omega using gear you don’t need for the other Bb. Even at low gear omega will give you a pretaunt and some utility.Be careful with your r8 if you’re going for LV and you only have conquest to earn the r8 material. Depending on Executor power, saving your few r8 for Executor could be the best course of action first. You can keep your relic materials until you’re ready to relic 2 characters at once and then decide where you’ll put your hard gained resources.Happy farming !

I would not go all in on BB atm without knowing the full requirements for LV tbh.
