Best Tournament Offensive Team

A few tournaments ago, some folks from TI shared a team lineup they had used to great success (i.e., rarely ended with less than 5 toons) in the early tournaments: EP, EE, B2, ST, RG

With the rework of Boba, Rebels 2.0, and zeta abilities, this team seems to have lost some of its efficiency. I am looking to replace the above lineup, looking for the most efficient offensive team. I have a zeta coming tomorrow that I could put on Barris or Vader. Curious if folks with experience with such teams have any thoughts on which of the following two lineups would be more efficient:
1. GK, Barris-z, Fives, Chirrut, Baze
2. Vader-z, TFP, EP, B2, ST

Other thoughts? (I also have a zeta QGJ). I am leaning towards 1, with 3 tanks plus healing. Curious if EE would fit in there, as cleanse, heal, resurrect was pretty useful in ending a round with 5 toons alive
  • The best tournament offensive team depends on the matchup. For the weaker matchups in the beginning, you want to use your weaker characters mixed in with some of your stronger ones to stretch out your ally points. When you get around the top 200 or so, you want to use your arena with some tweaks to give you the best chance of winning the matchup without losing any one
  • Agree with the above poster.

    On the flip side, best defense team = GK, Zeta Bariss, Chaze, and Zeta 5s. Not so easy to obtain but for a rare % currently.
  • For a defense team, I usually go extremely offensive. It's gonna lose, so why not take a couple of the enemies with them?

    For the easier battles use rebels so you can escape with no deaths, kind of like in GW

    gk doesnt have a zeta

    chaze is better here than wiggs
  • Thanks folks. Definitely agree more than now that it depends on the opponent. I should have mentioned I am hunting for the squad to use towards the end of the tournament, after I used my initial 8 or so teams (I was able to finish 3rd in the first Advanced Tie tournament, and 23 in the Chirrut tournament, leveraging the EP, EE squad). Does any one run a GK, Barris-z, Fives, Chirrut, Baze or Vader-z, TFP, EP, B2, ST lineup? How do they fare in arena?

    Thanks for catching that. I was type happy earlier without paying attention. Alas, I knew that Chaze > Wiggs for that combo. However, I just learned GK doesn't have a Zeta. Good to know!

    P.s. I edited my post in kind. Thx!

    Heres a vid of GK Barris but with rex in place of fives. This is to deal with ep and b2 specifically.
