Guys I need some advice. Currently I am running 5* QGJ (lead), 7* Lumi, 5* Yoda, 6* Sid and 4*Dooku. I need to replace Dooku from my arena team at least until I have him to 6*. Which won't be for a while as I am currently going all in on Jedi. Anyway, here is my dilemma. I have Assaj Ventress at 5*. I have all 85 shards to promote her to 6*. I also have just enough $ to take her to lvl70 as well. So she would be 6* lvl70, gear lvl8That is one option, here is the otherI have a 4* Anakin I am currently farming. I have enough credits to take him to lvl70 lvl8 gear. Now, I know a 6* normally would be without question the way to go. However, since I am already running 3/5 Jedi, it seems logical that even though my Anakin is 4*, at lvl70 and lvl8 gear, he would be a better option than Ventress simply because she is SOOOO slow. I need power/damage added to my roster. Ventress hits really hard, but is slow as a sloth. Anakin, won't hit quite as hard as Ventress, but with the added speed from QGJ, it seems like it could make up the difference in star level. Not to mention the heal block that Anakin can lay down... Suggestions?

Anakin is a great option with QGJ and Yoda. You have 3 guys that move before almost anyone. Sid is also really fast, that's 4 guys that move before Geonosian Soldier. Anakin also can move twice in the first portion of the game (he moves at 160, then gains 90% TM when the enemy kills first of your guys)Problem is you will have problems to beat Sid, as he dodge your jedis a bit. You can either left him to the end of he combat, and check until you pass his dodge, but it's hard. Having Rey or Geonosian Soldier would help a lot to kill him

So you suggest the 4* Anakin over 6* Ventress?

Would Sid not dodge Ventress as much? If not, she may be the way to go... Even with her speed

Sid's such a pain to kill for an all Jedi team, which sucks because he is so commonly used. I don't think Ventress would be a good fit for your team. She's so slow that sometimes I will burn down a cannon before killing her, and she still doesn't get a turn. Do you have a Rey, Daka, or GS maybe? Ventriss on AI almost always heals herself on the first turn, so she's pretty bad on defense.

Anakin all the way. He's one of the best heroes in the game, people still haven't realized his true power because he's used so rarely because of his extremely hard farming grind.

He's so fast, his DPS is very good, his HP is vast. Add buff immunity and his unique turn meter gain and tou have a top tier char now.

I am farming Anakin. It just takes sooooooooooooooooooo long. I only have 2 hard nodes unlocked where I can get him. I have decided to slowly level him using my lvl1 and lvl2 training Droids I get per day. I know when I get him starred up, he will be on my A team without a doubt. I just wish they would add him to the cantina to farm, or even in cantina rewards, arena awards, or GW awards. It makes no sense to have him only on a few hard nodes. But i guess if he were more easily obtained, a LOT more people would use him. Alas, with things as they are now, in 6 to 8 months I can have him to 7*. That's ridiculous, but it is what it is. It's like that with Rey, GS, and FOTP as well. All amazing toons that are incredibly hard to star up. At least GS is farmable in cantina. I won't farm him since he is only on the 1st cantina. Those QGJ rewards are too important to lose out on so many by farming the 1st cantina.

So I'll stop rambling, with my current roster (listed above) would it be best to 7* IG86 for his DPS even though I don't have any other Droids?

Well, i starred my Ventress to 6, and when I have used her, ive put her in the leader spot. It actually makes a difference for her, so I assume it would for your NS squad.

I'm fsrming him, I think he has a great skill set. I have seen top players in softlaunch servers use him.

Datamined info about lvl 90 put him as 4th best AOE, almost tied with Sid for 3rd, 21000hp and 14th best speed before counting QGJ lead. Plus 100% TM gain on ally deaths Nd a way to buff the party on kills I think he will be good long term

so should i start farming him? i have a 4* anakin

I'm farming him. Half way to 6* yet, is a LOOOOOOONG road. But he is going to be in my endgame, almost sure.

Rey is the other one I think look good so far in the lvl 90 datsmined stuff. And Yoda is awesomesauce end game

I've unlocked the third hard node for anakin and was wondering if it's worth farming him for use in arena. my rebel team is almost finished and I want to start a new project.
anyone who has him past 5*, how does he perform under qgj lead? looks like he has decent hp. how's his basic and special skill damage?

By all means. He is a stud. Being a 4*, he already has almost as much health as my 6* Sid. And hits as hard, with healing block. He is awesome. Had I not starred up IG86, i would of used Anakin in place of Dooku. I just wish it was easier to find him.

Anakin is a pretty slow farm. Ventress is great in GW. I would go for her for that reason and keep farming Ani with an eye on the future.
