It’s actually good to use Fives special when GAS is about to stand. The reason why is because Fives will keep his taunt even when Gas stands up and sometimes the AI hits him instead of Gas. But this is the only scenario you should use this move.
@brillcouncil45843 ай бұрын
If you know fives can tank a few shots it's fine too taunt while gas is sitting to save a clone and those banners. But you better be SURE. heh

Or you can just not apply the omega to the taunt ability, because then he doesn't actually taunt. It's just an assist
@princeofsomnia76643 ай бұрын
This. Fives taunt is actually good if you want to 3star something like conquest, proving grounds, etc.. If you don't taunt with fives, you will hit the sacrifice for sure then you won't be able to 3 star.
@petercouchey1942Ай бұрын
I just R9 fives so he can taunt usually through the first time GAS goes down. Also, he has double defense if echo is present

I’ve been playing the game for almost 8 years now and it amazes me how you can still learn new things. I had no clue how to use CLS with the current comp. I’ll be using the basic a lot more now. With Grievous, I like to use his stun against JKA when going against oQGJ teams. It’s also why I like to have the zeta that gives IG-100 the stun on his special. Depending on the turn order, having JKA stunned with killing QGJ can mean the difference between losing 3-4 banners or just straight up losing. Great video!

I think in PvE, lots of times when you are dealing with multiple phases/waves/stages, TB & Assault Battles, basics are very important towards the end of a wave so that you can continue building cooldowns to have the specials available for the next/harder wave

If I can, especially in 3v3 I like to have three first order teams where I use hux and both tie pilots, slkr solo, and kru with executioner and baby kylo. It just depends on my opponents defense, but I can usually get at least 3 teams in 3v3 and if I’m lucky 3 in 5v5.

I have a couple ship based basics that are key: KRU's Silencer you want to use his basic to stun and wait for damage to ramp before popping his big hit Similarly, The Finalizer itself - after using Hunted on the first turn always use it's basic to call Silencer. There is almost no reason to ever use Finalizer's Quell or Ravage abilities.

On the zorii tream. I almost always use zorii basic over the second special bc it also dispels (if stealthed) and can expose (with ten up). Rose also needs to keep ten up as a priority over her specials. Resistance troopee same thing - though not always on the team. A lot of times on the team you more want a chance for expose than what the special does. SEE often has the opportunity to use the heal prot ability early on before you would gain much from it, and it's more of a priority to get deceived applied from basic. Against malgus, a lot of characters like starkiller (or the rest of his team including mj) or hondo want to spam basic so as to not heal the enemy (hondo needs to use his specials at some point still though bc he gets massive dmg boost for several turns with special 1). Jabba a lot of times wants to basic to build ult over his specials. Dash as lead gets more from basic by hitting harder and calling assists over using special 1 unless you need the dispel/stun. BT1 likes basics over either special when there is 1 enemy you NEED to kill but otherwise i use special 1 as much as possible.
@frank48713 ай бұрын
Hera's basic is much better than just spamming her special when it's up. I save the special for when I need a cleanse and use the basic for that expose.

Dark Trooper's specials are also situational. I don't think you're ever really gonna use the AoE, and most times you'll want to do the basic for high damage, and use the second special only if you're about to lose your tm train, and it's unlikely you'll land a kill until the next enemy takes a turn.
@CalvinAwesome3 ай бұрын

@PlasticandRage3 ай бұрын
I use krus second special and EPs second special sometimes. Both are situational for sure, buy they both have similar uses. Theyre for self preservation. If my EP is close to death and im attacking something with counter potential, use the second special, top him off, damage the whole enemy team, and dont get countered. Similarly with kru, if hes about to die and gets a turn, you can refill a good chunk of his health if you drop the taunt for a turn and use his special, then get the taunt back up. Its definitely not the best ability ever, but it has its uses. Id rather keep him standing a few extra turns in most cases than keep the taunt and have him die immediately

.just my opinion. maybe consider only [1] normal/marquee toons' standalone basic abilities and [2] no. of utilities mixed on the basic. some on the list are quite above because of the status "legendary+" and for a reason, and some only works when a synergy is achieved. i'd say Mara Jade basic should be one on the top for this for example. :)
