Should I unlock Rey?

Got her hat 244 shards. Still waiting for her to drop magically into my lap (not buying any chromium and I know she doesn't drop from bronzium). I also think the chance EA will "gift" her to us is less than me winning the lottery (which I don't play btw).

I would start gearing her and be totally disappointed that I need a gazillion purples.

So do you think she is viable at lvp 71/72 gear 7/8 at 6*?

  • I use her at gear 8 6* and she is completely viable, it depends how desperate you are for a glass canon or how far you're losing rank.

    Basically if you need her she's viable and doesn't take more than a few thousand energy for gearing, she's a wonderful asset in gw and nobody will attack you in Arena if you use her with Dooku lead.
  • She's viable at 5 stars IMO. Give her a Dooku lead, maybe Daka healer and you're golden. Even if they nuke her, good chance she'll get back up with Daka and nuke them back.
  • Maybe wait for the fortitude changes?
    Rey is probably one of the biggest speed & damage offender, so it's likely she'll be "adjusted".
  • With Dooku lead she is definitely viable in gear8 at 5*s. She sucks to gear up so you might as well get started.
  • Yea her gear makes a big difference. She is definitely squishy at 5*s but her foresight helps. Her damage is still great though. If she doesn't have any debuffs she can usually one shot a max Sid or Dooku with her last ability which helps a ton in GW.

    how can they make her so weak !


    your nuts. Rey is one of the best characters in the game
  • I'll add another point to the "viable at 5*" side. I use her at 5*, almost max gear, max skills. I'm on a mature late November server and finish top 5 daily. It helps to have some kind of evasion/avoidance for defense (Dooku lead, Daka, RG), but on offense she is awesome!

    I assume she will continue to be good in the future as well since she is the face of the franchise going forward.

    my Rey removing full hp fotp and than full hp HAN :)


    Impressed you got RP, Rey and RG so high, so fast! I heard RP was a pain to gear so had stopped farming her. Just started again cos there's no one else.

    On topic, 6 stars Rey is viable in Arena. Almost everyone here agrees.
