GAS Arena Useless?

Padme being a hard counter to GAS with the 501st and Padme effectively dominating my arena, is GAS worth leveling up to 7* or just skipping until a more dominant meta character comes along? I would hate to drop months of hording on a non-meta arena squad that is only a TW/TB/GAC team.

Unlike Malak I don't see him being particularly good outside of a 501st team either. Shame so many of his advantages are tied directly to the 501st. He seems kinda meh as a Galactic Republic or Jedi outside of the 501st.
  • Correct guess. AI defense is booty cheeks so at the end of the day it doesn't matter anymore. Lol

    I'll just sum it up:

    Considering the investment required for GAS and the current state of the game and his performance at 5* & 6*.

    He is not worth it.

    GAS may be a good character but he isnt worth investing into unless you have the GET to 7* and resources to G13 him.

    If you had to invest into one team I'd say Padmé or GG Nuke as Padmé is the best all around team. And GG nuke is the best SE counter (only worth if your shard is mainly SE)


    ^ Padme is the team I am building up. And in 3's today my G9 G9 G10 zzPadKenoTano trio wiped the floor with a g12 fully zeta'd Ky Ky Fox team. Says a lot when a weakly modded g9 team can do that.

    The question in the title of this thread is, if GAS is useless in arena. Not if he is worth gearing or not.

    The correct summary imo is: He is useful in arena, as he can beat all or almost all squads.

  • What gives me pause is that the Padme team can take #1 everyday against every team including GAS with little trouble. The Padme team also feeds Negotiator arena. In addition, the 501st already has a solid lead with Shaaq.

    Given the 7* cost, heavy kyro and zeta for GAS, I won't be able to 7* the next meta character quickly. So should I horde for the next meta or go all in on GAS even though I already have a meta dominant Padme arena team and a complete 501st team? I question GAS's value in the current arena meta and he doesn't bring as much to TW, GAC, etc since I already have a functional 501st team.

    I guess I will sit on the GET until I start seeing more GAS in my arena.

  • A little side question: how much time until next meta (Res/FO)? 3 months? 4 months? 6 months?
    Any thoughts?

    wrongthread
  • 5 or 6 star: pretty meh
    7 star: auto everything outside of a GAS mirror

    What planet are you on. GAS is meta!


    Maybe your arena is from outer rim, I guess?
