Dooku - poor man's Obi Wan?

Hi guys,

I've been working on a new lead for my Arena team (currently 7* G8 Phasma) and Obi-Wan appeared as an obvious choice but since I have to start from scratch with him, I was thinking that maybe Dooku could be a fill-in for the time it takes to farm Obi (Dooku is almost 6* atm). What's your experience with him? Should i try going for 7* Dooku and then Obi or just leave him be and continue with Phasma?
  • Old ben and st han is a strong combination. I have been using yoda in arena to counter old ben.

    But i still use dooku as i have not unlocked old ben.
  • When you get mods on Dooku he can counter every time for 5k-16k damage. His secondary leadership (OU) is not quite as good as Ben's (TM gain) but he is superior to Ben in every other way but health/protection, not that anyone will ever bother to kill Old Ben before last anyway.

    He does far more damage, he attacks more often, he counters 100% of the time, and he can stun. He also decimates Jedi (Anakin/QGJ). Everything in his kit is not just useful, but powerful.
  • Ok, thanks a lot for your input.

    At the moment it's Phasma (going to be switched with Dooku as L), Leia, Rey, GS and QGJ. STH will get into this lineup somewhere by the end of the month - if I can farm him this quick
  • Ben and Dooku are only good as leaders. And Ben as leader is 10 times better than Dooku.

    PS - Dooku's counter is a huge liability when running STHan. I hit Dooku with Ben, Dooku counters against STHan, all of my toons get TM.


    This is the most annoying thing about Dooku. Put Dooku in your team and vs Han he will work for the opposite team. He will even bonus counterattack like a boss.
