Best teams for all phases?

Jedi (ideally Revan lead, but Bastila teams are very good too) are super consistent in phase 2 and can run some very high numbers with GMY, GK,Hoda, And a 5th (aayla, qgj, Ezra are all popular choices). zKRU FO can do decent, as can a multi-zeta Phoenix, the ackbar led Machine Gun Leia variants, the Wampa/hoda/Sabine combi under GK or Boba does very well... lots of options there (including excess Rey teams)

I just started playing around with the Machine Gun Leia concept today, but I think it's one with a lot of promise. All of my pieces are pretty under-developed, and some of my toons had also been used already, so this was the team I cobbled together with what I had left (This was T6):

Ackbar (G9)
Leia (G9)
Thrawn (G12)
Daka (G11)
Zaalbar (G7 and only 6*)

Daka was the star of the show for me since her heals and revives allowed me to make up for a very poorly developed team overall (Thrawn being the one exception), but she's not going to be an option in heroic since you'll need her for P3/4 NS teams. Down the road, I think she'll be replaced by GK.

As you can see, my Zaalbar was (is) terrible, but with more gear and the last star, I think he could end up being the key to making this team go. Once you can get him to absorb more damage, combined with GK granting retribution (thus giving him more opportunity to counter and recover health with his basic). He also brings another key element to this team, that being the Armor Shred on his AoE. Thanks to Leia handing out CC up, he gets it off pretty reliably. I really didn't have much put into him yet (no zeta, and only omega'd his Power Blast special).

Thrawn is probably needed for other teams as well, but in this squad he's there for Fracture and to keep protection on Z (and Kenobi some day). I don't have Hermit Yoda, but he seems like the ideal fit here.


I know most of you are probably familiar with the Machine Gun Leia teams already, but it was new to me, and I think this might be a variation that probably hasn't been used very much, so I figured I'd share my initial experience with it. Like I've said already, it was a very under-developed team, but they still managed to get me almost 1M damage in T6.

Machine Gun Leia is a very underrated team, even when you get to Heroic. The Variant I use is AA Lead, Leia, Thrawn zUnique, GK, Hoda. Make Hoda, Thrawn and AA as fast as you can, stack as much offense on Leia (offense primaries on arrow and cross) and as much survivability on GK. Let the pain stack on Leia and soothe the rest. She really doesn't stop firing since every toon in the lineup has healing abilities anf Hoda's basic is one. If you use Hoda elsewhere another Tank or healer (shoretrooper) works. It's an easy team to run and isn't very RNG dependent.
