FF would only be useful for weaker (low-end T2 or T3 and below) decks, or to complete out your autobot faction affinity if running a high deck.

as a T2-er, each of my regular soldiers is able to do ~1.7mil damage. FF can do 2.7mil. If I were to get him, I'd move from ~28mil damage to 29mil. who cares? I'm still 1 cubing L1 and 2 cubing L2 runabout.

(its the same with my command positions, they go from 5.7mil to 6.9 with FF, a delta of just 1 mil)

If I stacked out with 6 of them, I'd only go to 34 mil, only to be stuck with them all post-event. Or 9 even to just 37mil.

I think the OP is correct, the x3 raiders have no value for us in T2. It is much wiser to use rubies on the x5. A single x5 will boost my damage ~5-6mil, and stand a chance of sticking around post-event. x7 even better.

GoC, you are in a different perspective given you have a boss deck. you have to admit you're likely to drop FF once your rubies pile up and you wrangle a Skydive or whatnot. You can also afford to waste rubies on FF. In this case, he's valuable because he out-hits a moderate R4 autobot and gives your other R5s an additional bonus of 10%. I'd be shocked if you noticed a damage difference if you replaced him with someone out of your R4 stable, like Jetfire or Ironhide. (isn't your R5 jazz outclassing it due to health?)
