The first time Old ben is defeated....all allies gain offense up etc... they could have coded this just the same.
It's fair to ask, Why not simply do this?
Because that would make the squad too OP honestly. Since rework, clone squads are out there successfully taking on both revans squads, the GG nukes and 'earnestly' competing throughout the game. They are officially one of the most powerful squads in the game RN. A couple months ago this was NOT the case. So clearly the rework has improved them so much that they're actually a viable late game option now.
Check it out though; if you were able to *revive* the countering, taunting, 'very' high health/prot tank - WHILE Rex and Echo are smashing down having been beefed up HARD; receiving a boost to ALL of their major stats (including *speed*!) Equal to 5s' start of battle numbers on top of their own. Essentially you've created two squad members who are both as powerful as *two* standalone squad members each. They deal two toons' damage and have 2 toons' health. They hit twice for one attack by every other toon in the game, having the speed of 2 fully modded toons in one. And at *least* one of these bad boy double stat toons is guaranteed to be at full health halfway through the fight. That's some MEAN SH*T, dude think about that. But now you can revive a taunting countering high constitution tank that those beast can hide behind?! Straight up. If you could revive 5s in this squad - it would be so immaculately overpowered that no one would ever be able to beat them period. The "standard" squad composition for clones would just literally be; Shaak Ti (L), 5s, Echo, Rex - and old daka or some other reviver. Consider how brutally nasty 5s zeta REALLY *IS* - like I've just laid out to you - and you can imagine how exponentially more powerful the squad would be if it were possible to bring that taunting counter attacker tank back to protect the others after the stat boost. And 5s isn't half a slouch in the taunting tank biz either, he's def one of the more efficient tanks in the game without question...
