How does b1 manage at low stars?

much ado the same just with less damage. It's really strange

On gear levels 8,9 and 10 there is an Mk 2 Zaltin Bacta Gel which gives +6 speed. Going for gear 9 is very easy so you should at least aim for that level. Going from 9 to 10 is still somewhat easy and just requires 2 full Stun Cuffs and a Mk 7 Nubian so if you have plenty of those you can grab the additional 6 speed on g10.
B1's main purpose is being a support char that heals your teammates and gets rid of annoying foresights with his assist. So speed is your best friend.

The bug ticket on length of life for B1 is the zeta. That extra 50 starting unit is huge. I found that stars didn't matter much except for speed. But he could be taken out quite quickly against AOE or marked from JKR. But if you have Magnaguard with the rework, I think B1 gets way more viable at lower stars.

I see what you accidentally did there.

W00t I guess I need wait no more longer to try out revan squad with nute+seps.
Star up B1 is painful.

Surely it’s tenacity

The distinguisher on B1 is more that zeta. But the damage output will be pretty trash at low gear.

The zeta is more important than the star count. But as people have mentioned, the damage output is significantly lower at lower stars (Don't discount this guy as a damage dealer, he attacks so often, he's actually quite decent once you 6E with speed and offense).

So yes, once you have the zeta you can use him as a healer while you star him up, but i do recommend you 7* him eventually.

Horrible. He will have no HP at 3 stars

Not subtle enough. Go back to troll school.

Cheers guys, starting the long grind!
