Seen a lot of videos posted since the patch was released on Friday and the change was huge! Bastilla now is a solid counter to palpatine teams with the Sion/Traya/Nihilus trio now that the 150% tenacity bonus is actually being applied and the 35% damage bonus is actually being applied. Kinda big things to not be working before hand and its a relief to see how well they work when they are actually active. Thank you devs so much for making the Jedi faction meta again and giving us a much more balanced meta! you guys did a great job designing Bastilla's kit and I'm looking forward to what else we get down the line with the Kotor characters. I for one was getting sick of just how powerful Sion was and now that he can't inflict pain on jedi hardly ever.....that alone makes me on happy gamer! He was the most annoying character in the game to defeat and now he is much more manageable by jedi teams.

Bastila teams have been pretty easy to take out with Nightsisters under a Talzin lead so far. Seem like with all the buffs going on, a bounty Hunter team can make short work, but I haven't been able to try it out against them.

How ? By screwing their top players and guilds, yeah great job CG.

I know the trio is tough, but I beat a squad on my shard of EP, TRAYA, SCION, DN, SITH TROOPER. I used CLS, HAN, BAZE, CHIRUUT, R2. That said, Bastilla is going to shake things up. I tried my 3 star in the SRT T2, on my Jedi team. Looking forward to when she becomes farmable.

Bastilla is changing the meta! Great job CG devs on bringing balance to the force!

I've never chased the meta. Just tired of the same old junk where people form alliances to make sure they hold their spots in arena.

Even if Hoda is in the team for night sister?

This guy, lol.

Ofc they can beat talzin lead, Talzin relies on proccing plague which you cant do against this team because of tenacity. It's like fighting first order with talzin lead or another team that heals a lot, it doesn't work.

Ventress lead can beat the Jedi, their only source of AOE is Yoda which is not enough to kill them through Daka revives and Talia healing, also no mass dispel.

If you want to beat this jedi team and climb with NS go AV, Zombie, Talia, Daka and 5th can be Acolyte or Spirit.

My favorite part about the arena alliances is the folks who pretend that they're so good at the game because they take #1 every day thanks to 20 other people agreeing to leave them alone and not compete against them.

That's not how it works.

People all say the same thing “ new toon! Meta is dead!”. “Finally balance has come to arena!” Give it a week. Sure the meta will change. But guess what. All the teams will be identical. And everyone will say “I’m sick of Jedi, there’s no variety in arena”. It happens every time. So what’s to get excited about?
