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.

Well, everyone who has logged in every day this month will have that tie fighter pilot on Tuesday (with free upgrades later in the month) so it should be interesting to see how much he gets used.

So kinda funny, I just did a dark side mission, and in the 3rd round I see the graphic as my Boba Fett gets knocked out. But then I look again, oh, he's still there! And it was Talia's turn. Heal, finished with all 6 up.
Pretty cool..except I still only got 2 stars. Oh well.

Who do you have on your Crit team? I've just started using the Resistance Pilot as a finisher in GW, the guy is a MONSTER.

Resistance Pilot is one of my faves. Preach on brutha.

Got to disagree re ventress she's not that squishy - level 57 consistently top 50 in the Arena - she can debuff (and despite what it says this heals entire team). Her AOE is good and refreshes cool down if you get a kill on it. Plus she has stun chance on normal attack. Just use a taunter like Poe or Han to avoid her slight squishiness issues.
I started on my partners phone had tie fighter pilot, then bought a new iPad and this month it's that gunslinger dood - miss that tie fighter pilot so much! Having said that he is useless when being controlled by AI - I always take him out first turn, squishy thing that he is ...
Bobafett really unsure on - I can never land his ability block despite the fact it's meant to be 65% - building him up for a possible sub into my team but not sure he cuts it ...

Ps I agree with whip it re healing teams - I haven't bought any characters (I never saw dooku fir $5 even though I started in December - what the?) and I always cream the teams with 2 or 3 healers - I use Sid to heal immunity one of their nasties then lay into him, same on the next and it's all over. Level 57 and position 37 is my best finish in arena this week

You can't just throw boba in a team and exponent performance. He is best in a high damage crit based aoe team. He is most useful in lead with some high end characters like Poe poggle maul Sid lando leia ig88
In your team he will be unimpressive

Bobba needs to be paired with toons that take advantage of his crit.

Bobba (L)
Poggle
Poe
IG88
IG86/Lando/Cad (situational)

This is a necro'ed thread from early December. My opinion on Boba is if anything even worse since then... with his Buff in the "Order 66 Patch", Sideous is simply better than Boba, and I never use Boba for anything except "GW emergencies".
Maybe he'll be better later. Right now, he's not very good.
As for Asajj, yes, she is squishy. You'll notice it more when you get to cap and start seeing the big hitters. Mine is 6* and level 66 and against a high offense team I'm lucky if she gets one turn before she's killed.
