Is Finn that bad?

I have borrowed a 7* G8 and he surprised me with the damage he did.

That's about all I can say about him.

I agree with the Wookie. Crack Shot hits for 4.5k base for first hit (unbuffed). Second skill is just terrible and 3rd skill is solid. I like him but can't imagine the pain of farming him from the ground-up.

Solid attack but slow, expensive to farm and wastes a turn to self buff (advantage and defense up) .

Any of the 3 cons I mentioned should be enough to make him bad. Only the whales can give a better picture of his utility. Mine's at 4 stars and staying there until defense up means something.

He is well rounded, which un this gsme it's a bad thing. Also he wastes a skill to get defense up, and defensa up is useless because defense is useless.

As a user of Finn as my arena leader, I can say that I never use the second skill unless it's a 2v2 type of situation and I need the self heal as a gamble.

I survive many scary teams of Poes and 88's and FOTP's that all get to fire before me. Trick is to know when to use his main (when you fire first on a unit) or third skill (when you know the main skill won't kill the unit, therefore it's a good bet to try and stun/expose it instead).

Since there isn't only arena to think about, I shuld add this: Finn is my MVP in GW. Self heal is pretty cool there. He lasts all 12 nodes every day. I never use taunts in GW unless I let the taunter die. Having a tank that can work without taunts in GW saves me lots of trouble and makes it easier on the healers.

I have used Finn with the idea that he is to main attack a Poe Exposed target. The attack boost should be enough to kill or mortally wound. If no one is Exposed or Poes is resisted by your main threat or you need to stun you use the special. When Poe is dead you use the Stormtrooper ability... Maybe. His AI is horrible.

My first post!...I was third until 5-10 minutes ago and dropped to fourth using Qui-Gon as leader, Darth Sid, Finn, Kylo Ren and Lumi. All lvl 61 and gear level VII. Finn seems to take damage well, and combined with Qui for double attack (triggers a lot the two from my experience) with Hold the Line expose active, it can usually one shot a opposing tune.

I played a resistance team with Poe, Rey, R Pilot, R Trooper and Finn as lead. He did pretty well in the lineup, but I still pulled out a win. He's just a little slow and there are better stun characters imo

Why not Poe as lead?

Finn is a boss in GW. Never used him in arena.
