It also prevents a “paper clone”, similar to paper zombie that would be intentionally sacrificed several times. Rex lead, Fives, Echo, Daka and paper Cody would crush raids. Mod fives for all offense and speed, minimal health (to get his ability to trigger as many times as possible), and you’d quickly have teams with over 800 speed, 10K offense and rising, with echo to double tap every time someone uses a basic.
This argument is based on the premise that every time 5's dies they would keep getting his bonus.
As I stated before, they already have Old Ben Kenobi and it clearly states "THE FIRST TIME" he dies.
5's does not revive himself like Zombi.
And Zombie doesn't give any bonuses when zombie dies.
You need the character in that receives bonuses for death or % health lower = bonus turn etc..
This is a bad analogy in my opinion as they share very little of the same mechanics.
Quite frankly, it's like I said, I will NOT be surprised if Kix isn't introduced as a part of the 501st. I also will not be shocked if he is.
It could still be abused. If Fives's unique is triggered, you get a supercharged Rex and Echo and if you could revive Fives (whether by Visas, a new clone or anyone else) you'd even get your durable tank back without any drawbacks.
It does not exclude the addition of a new clone (let it be Kix), but it doesn't hint it either. That failsafe needed to be added for current in-game mechanics anyway.
If they could be abused then why hasn't anyone found a way to abuse Old ben yet?
Tank revive teams are a thing, people just usually use it with L3 and/or CWC in a scoundrel team. CLS, Han and Chewy have a fixed spot on the CLS team, where OB really shines, and both C3 or R2 are better options than a potential revive.
It's about the kits mostly. There's a lot smaller benefit to gain from a revived OB on a rebel team than Fives on a clone team. The stat gains from Fives are slso not comparable to the slight buff OB gives.
Edit: Strategy wise you also leave OB last, so there's hardly a way to abuse a revive. With Clones it's actually smarter to kill Fives first, so yes, a revive can be abused unlike in the rebels' case.
