Darth Sidious--good or not?

Sid has been terrible in arena for a very long time. Not a terrible toon to throw at GW.

It's fun to put him in with a decently powerful suicide squad. At the end of the battle, everyone on both teams is dead - and he's at full health like nothing happened. :)

I agree with early use, he's an excellent character when your starting out but once you get established you will find he's not that great!! He has served me extremely well this far but I am now working him out of my team as I don't see him as a long term solution to my attack but as mentioned before an excellent starting up choice I solute you sid but please move aside gracefully for the future!!

I agree with the rest of the guys. He's a great toon to bring u up to lvl 60+... But drops out beyond that.

As an enemy in GW, however, he's still a pain in the... posterior... and you'd want to take him out first before that healing debuff, especially if you don't have barriss on your team.

His heal-block is one of the most annoying things in the world! Unless of course it's when my Sidious does it to the other team, and then it's ace.

A high level sidious' healing debuff lasts 3 turns. That's really bad for GW.

With the new meta Sid has not received any damage or hp upgrade much. And with the protection mode his attacks are very much ruined.

He has gone from A team to B team now.

He's not terrible or useless in arena. I still have him on my team and I finish top 20 every day and win 90% of my offensive battles. I would probably replace him with a few 7* toons if I had them, but he's not useless. He's very fast, has good defense against Jedi and is one of the best anti-Rey characters I've seen. His proc has a high chance to hit and if you debuff Rey first round she gets a big nerf. Plus if she gets foresight, you can use his AOE to remove it without wasting a hit.

I like him just for the heal block. Nothing worse to get a guy to just one hit, and having a healer put them back to full.

From what I've been experiencing it seems to me like he isn't dodging as much against Jedi even with Dooku as the lead. As a result I haven't been using him as much, because the added evasion against heavy Jedi teams was what made him useful

He hasn't dodged a jedi for me in weeks. Dooku stole his dodge power. There can only be one

After Sid, who are the next fastest characters who also have an AoE? Preferably F2P, but P2P is okay.
