Kalani was a competent battle tactician who had single-minded obsession in securing victory and producing results. Interesting piece, good to finally see him make an appearance but I was hoping he would reflect some of his Rebels time as well as have a way or provide a way around the Separatists main issue which is commander effects being suppressed, as is he only really helps the NR-99 and some of the IG-88s but even that gets shut down by Bastilla/the plethora of CE hate. WOTC days this guy would have been a 10, these days he is a 4. But cool to see he him all the same.

Kalani was a competent battle tactician who had single-minded obsession in securing victory and producing results. This guy may seem cool, but every ability is so wordy. Why? Why are we trying to make everyone read a CE for 5 minutes during a game to make sure we understand how it works? 4/10 Edit 3/10. Indiscriminate is stupid, as should not be used in the future. Crutch ability for crutch players.

Neat guy... I guess his cost will depend on what the Wolf troopers look like. Or was Wolf some other person in the storyline? Currently a 7/10. And mainly b/c I like the Twin attack with Opp, and good base stats.

Why do they not work together at all? I'm sure I have to be missing someway to give this guy "Wolf"? 7/10 if you can give him Wolf 1/10 if not, because their is NO SYNERGY in the Sub-Set, which would make ZERO sense to me. Why put them in a Sub-Set together?

Why put them in a Sub-Set together? I don't think Fives was a part of the Wolf Pac, the subset has a reason. I don't know how I feel about it, but it is something new. But my point for responding is asking what do you think about the character minus the wolf pac thingy, which is besides the point as you are looking at ranking a piece. I am curious, since the piece feels more simple and that is something you have been worrying about in the past.

All will become clear soon enough. It does have a theme, but as jen'ari said, it's something new, at least as compared to previous subsets.

It was mentioned on SHNN last night. Not sure if that was the first time or not.

But I am not sure I am on board with Worship.... It just seems so.... Dumb. Unique Sith Allies 6 squares, Fr and printed cost greater than 60. But only if 2 characters with worship are within 6 squares... Its such a wordy ability again. Why can't things just be simple? Why does every character need brand new abilities that take up game play time to learn them? This is why I hate Vong. I have to sit, and read what every piece can do for about 20 minutes before the match just to be semi aware of it. Please do not do this to all other factions as well. Keep it simple. Keep it safe. 5/10

Still curious about your thoughts about Fives (withholding the wolf stuff).
I thought it was an easy piece to use and understand with nothing crazy going on that can be boosted pretty well.
i do not play shooters very often (since the Rex 501st days) but this guy reminds me of that era pretty well.

Controls Shatter 1 [Force 1, replaces attacks: Designate 1 adjacent door as open; it remains open for the rest of the skirmish and cannot be closed] Awesome! That's a fantastic boost for the theme of the Sith. I think controls shatter could have just been shatter door or whatever the current one is but still pumped to see these guys with the old WOTC Sith. Great job! Also looking at Kalani I see now some interesting combos for some Grievous boosts for the General himself. Giving +3 attack to classic CS Grievous, or the new Wheelbike are actually nothing to snuff at especially since it's easy enough to trigger. I'm bumping him up to a 7 but we still need some way around Bastilla for the Seps! Even a limited one like granting one commander Disciplined Leader

So I love everything about this piece... Except his CE. And again. Its just so wordy, and its odd... If I understand it correctly, If a B3 Battle Droid, and a Battle Droid are within 6 squares of each other. They each get +4/+10? So you can't "spam" Battle droids, and nothing else. Is there a specific reason why it was worded this way? I know spamming battle droids is not high on the list of things people want played, but why not just leave them specifically off the CE? I do like this guy, and I like that he boosts droid armies, even tho I am not a droid player myself, this is 100% a Star Wars piece. 7.9/10. Might even be a solid 8/10.

I like it.  Doesn't prevent spamming at all, just 'abusive' spamming. You need a somewhat diverse mix of variants, and have to position them properly. No CE suppression, boost recipients who also give out boosts. Might be my favorite piece from this set. (I like quite a few, but for very different reasons)

I didn't fully understand the ce in terms of theme, but the builds it creates were very fun.
The other stats are very thematic and balanced pretty well imo.
