I'm wondering if it is still worth it to give 5555s a spot on my arena team after his nerf. Current team is: ST Han (L), RG, 5555s, Rey, QGJ.

Should I sub someone else in for 5s? My options would be Phasma, Daka, Yoda, Poggle, Ackbar, Dooku or Tano.

Lets call it an "adjustment" and avoid semantics. Omega Fives is on the bench. He also applies Slow less often now.
Phasma, Ackbar, Dooku, & Daka are all better options. The Dooku (L) team suggested above is good. Ackbar(L) with STHan, RG, Rey, QGJ/Daka would be good also.

Totally agree with you. Going to try a Ben/Han/QGJ/Rey/Daka team as well.

I'm wondering about your statement that he applies Slow less often. I wasn't aware of any change to his awful potency, any reason for the debuff change?

As far as I know they didn't make an official statement on it but I believe they reduced his potency as part of his 'adjustment'. Many people have mentioned it. We have a small sample size so far but it's landing less often in battles and Zero in raids for me.

That would disturb me more than the Omega fix. He literally bring nothing when his slow doesn't land.

I don't think they reduced his potency. But other toons are getting more tenacity.

But either way he is a bench warmer now. I may try him once more in arena at gear x. But at gear ix he is not worth the spot.

Sooooooo what ever anyone wants to call it is fine dosnt rly matter the fact is that it happened. I think it rly sucks that we lost a triple attack chance with 5's I use him in main Team. That being said I still think he is a Boss. speed down and double attack is still awesome. He can take so much damage and still counters what seems like 100% of the time he is not going anywhere for me. Now Granet I run a clone Team so he is a little more important to me than someone that is just throwing him in as a spot filler, either way still think he is a started in most cases

I run poggle (L), GS, 86, 5s daka all G9

I usually place top 10-20 with no refreshes.

Since 5s adjustment I've struggled to make top 50 with a refresh. I have lost 7\10 on offense vs teams I used to beat easily. On OFFENSE hahaha!

5s is no longer powerful enough to just stick into any team like I did. He now needs the right toons around him to really shine, probably as it should be, so I'm cool with the change.

Time to build a better team, as we're always doing in this game.
