Looks like I was wrong about Echo's assists calling the ARC Turret to assist. I'll own that for sure. I'm still not convinced the turret should go on Fives, since he dies so quickly and randomly. Rex or Echo would be my choice, and Echo does tend to be more survivable than Rex...

yes he does, but, i have found that if you have Rex’s zeta, by the time fives goes down you have the ability available again. Then you assign it to Rex and since he is the fastest and has the bonus speed from fives he runs circles around everybody with constant dispels.

I wish I had read this comment first. I just put the zeta on arc thinking that might get the turret to attack with echo. It doesn't read that way, but you never know. So maybe the arc zeta is not good unless you are running him under shaak ti. I guess fives can call the assist.

I know this is an old video but i thought id point out a cool trick to do with this team. If you can time it right, taunting with fives right before GAS stands back up can give you two taunts, and if they choose fives over GAS, its essentially like damage immunity if he doesnt have protection.

Echo shouldn’t get the turret, the turret only assists when the ability is used in the unit’s own turn, not as an assist. If fives is present, go with fives. After the sacrifice, go with rex. Also, interesting choice to go with defense. My GAS is modded pretty similarly, but with a Potency set instead of defense. Relic 7, 129K protection, 192% crit damage, 270 speed and 95% potency. Since my Rex is 321 speed i outrun almost everything and give TM so landing those dazes consistently is very helpful.

Awesome vid, thanks for being so thorough in your explanations. I spent most of last year unlocking GAS, so he's like my poor man's GL. I'm still super bummed that they replaced the Clone Wars style head on his character model & made it the same as JKA's ugly mug. Clone Wars Sky Guy is 100x cooler than his film counterpart. You're not the only one that is baffled by "Rexhilate". I wonder if Mando or CAT was in the game earlier people would be calling it a "Rexintegration" or "Rexorce Leap"? "Rexecute" obviously sounds much cuter. I was hoping you'd touch on the Omega on Echo's basic - ""Add this attack deals 15% more damage if Echo has Critical Damage Up" - no 501st can grant Crit dmg up - why is this in his kit? whyyyyyy. It hurts my brain meats. Also props for triumphant return to thumbnail image being relevant to video content form ♥

Correction for everyone watching this, you do not want to have the Turret with Eco, because it doesnt assist when a Clone supports/counters. Instead, you want it on Fives because he gets the most turns. If Fives dies, pass it to Rex, who is the fastest, so he'll turn more often than Eco. Thinking about it, putting the Turret on Eco is actually the worst possible thing to do

Alright, so after you referred me here I finally got around to watching the vid. When I asked about beating Reys, I used to mod my GAS for protection and some speed and then switched over to offense which was great for the mirror (even on d) but was getting obliterated by Rey. I now know the answer is both. You need both offense and protection and preferably speed. Greedy b*stard. But moved mods around and hoping I can beat some poorer Reys

in general for the clones, would it be better to have high health (to maximize the time it takes to get through when gas is down) or is protection still better? My thought is that AOEs still chip away at and potentially even finish off protection while gas is up, but you obviously have to wait to start attacking health. I know this arguement is out the door against CLS rebels (and maybe Malak for that matter), but is it sufficient enough to warrant remodding (especially if you were to hold GAS for offense)?
