Under-starred characters viability

I keep seeing people talk about how some characters are still viable even at 3 stars (other than things like raids and TB where 7* are required), which makes me wonder: is there any way to have an idea if a character would still work alright when not 7* before unlocking them? From what I can tell, I assume it's based on whether or not their utility relies on their level to be strong? Baze's autotaunt/dispel, Thrawn Fracture, Nihilus Annihilate, etc. Based on that, I assume R2 and BB8 would be serviceable even just unlocked at 5* (assuming gear and levels are the same as 7*)? Are there any other factors that play into it? Would Shoretrooper just be too squishy at 3*? What about 4* Rex or Ackbar leads?

    You can look up other characters too. This table assumes max gear, so you have to keep that in mind. But you can see how the stars impact health, protection, speed, or other important factors. But I agree that in general, tanks are serviceable at low star/high gear. Attackers are less desirable in that scenario. Support depends on the versatility and what is impacted.


    Whoa, I had no idea this was there. That's amazing, thank you! Kind of weird that it has power same across the board regardless of stars, even though when you star up a character they gain GP. Unless I'm misinterpreting that. Otherwise, it's awesome.

    And thank you all for the replies, very helpful.
