So I used my first 6400 Cantina credits unlocking this guy, immediately leveled him up to my character level.. and he was unimpressive. So then I spent a bunch more resources getting him up to gear level 6... and he's STILL unimpressive. Does decent damage but not great. His special looks good on paper but in actual fights it is resisted over 80% of the time. My current "big 5" are Barriss, Luminara, Asajj, Dooku and Sideous. I will have Vader unlocked soon as well. I like using Boba for his special at the start of a big fight in GW, and for mop-up duty. He also helps my dark side team. I don't regret getting him, but I'm not sure it's worth spending more on him.Now I got him in part because on occasion I would borrow someone else's Boba and the guy would just cream everything. But I'm starting to think this was just because he was higher level than my other characters. :(Does he advance particularly well at higher star levels? Am I missing something?I either keep working on him or maybe unlock Old Daka (another one people say is great but she I have never been impressed with at all...)

I am caught in the same situation. The Boba I unlocked is good but not great at gear lvl 4. Both Luke and Ventress at a lower lvl does more damage than him. Perhaps Boba needs a team to shine.

I like Boba. Got him on 6*, Gear 7 1/2. All skills on lvl 5. Hes my Leader right now. The 45% crit damage for my Darth maul are insane. I think hes goodness depends on which guys you have in your Team. I use an crit build, so its Pretty nice

I've just started using the Resistance Pilot as a finisher in GW, the guy is a MONSTER.

It may be that he just needs the right team, not the hodgepodge I have right now.Also I realized that when I borrow him I get the effects of his leadership skill, and I don't right now because he's not in the leader spot. That makes a difference.I think I will keep working on him. I'd rather star him up than start dealing with Daka anyway.

I've just started using the Resistance Pilot as a finisher in GW, the guy is a MONSTER.I have both resistance and tie pilot and hands down tie pilot is better. He's same gear but 1 star lower than resistance and he out doses him 10 fold. Granted, resist does have higher speed and expose which is beautiful. Tie pilot though, when someone hits 50% hp, gets a buff to armor pen and while he has bat buff (advantage) has 60% to double attack his auto. Also, if you attack someone with auto while they're above 50% and get them to that theshold, you can shoot 3 times. Basically eliminates someone with 1 turn (happens like 50% of the time I shoot someone with it). Most of the times I don't even bother using his snipe bc auto is so Op.

Boba Fett buyer's remorse? Calling on Boba fans...

Thanks. It may be that he just needs the right team, not the hodgepodge I have right now.

His leadership is 20% crit which is the highest in the game. He's also a tank class so he's not going to dps like a glass cannon. But he's one of those survivor builds that does good dmg over time, as the fight progresses. So he's a tank with great leadership and aoe. Not impressive like dooku or anything but dooku also has no real hp. Just a bunch of bonus attacks.

At endgame these squishy characters such as Ventress and Dooku are nothing more than easy kills. I have Boba 6* and putting aside his ability block, his consistent damage, his rez ability and his awesome leader skill.....he can take damage like a champ. So he is able to stick around much longer than these Dooku type characters that don't make it through the first round.

These squishie characters shine at lower level because you're not fighting big hitters. They are able to hang in there a few rounds to get the most out of there strengths. But at the current endgame to give an example with stacked Dots it not surprising to see my Vader crit for 6k with culling blade. Not surprising to see Landos AOE hit 4k+ crit. Even Luminara can hit 4k+ crit. You take a character like Dooku or Ventress they are dead or a bar or two from it by the second round.

They said the meta currently is healer heavy teams. I strongly disagree. High AOE and single target big hitters will wipe a heavy healer team out without any worry of losing. But Boba can take the big aoes and the big single dpsr's and still be standing the next round. Boba is just an all around solid well rounded tank.

My Team isnt as good as i wish for... Its a glasscanon"build". Darth Maul crits like ~8k if all is buffs are up. My Leia hits like shit too. If Iam lucky she can deal 4- 6k damage. Luminara is a good supporter. She can heal and hits hard. 2-4k damage. And Boba is leader, so i get some crit damage. HK-47 is awesome. Hits Hard and eat a lot of damage.

This is probably true for the highest of the high end players, specifically those who did soft launch or those who are high $$ spenders. I've played every day since the hard launch right around thanksgiving, always going as far as possible in GW, trying to play with synergetic teams, actually following a lot of the advice you've given on the boards. That said, I'm still 20 shards away from getting Vader. I paid for Dooku, but the rest of my chars have been attained via grinding them out. Ventress, for my level and who I'm going up against, is a great character and can cause some serious trouble.

I have no doubt that Lando/Vader/Boba when they're all 6 or 7 * characters are nearly unstoppable compared to the rest of the current field of toons, but I'd be willing to bet that there are very, very few players that are at your caliber/level that can take advantage.

Still, that's valuable information since I specifically asked if it was worth continuing to invest in him. From 4* to 7* is 20,000 cantina credits... sigh... :)
