Best way to use Bistan in the Rancor Raid?

I have Teebo at 7* but he's only G6 right now. I'll focus on him next. QGJ is soon to be 7* but only G8.

Any tips on getting more turns for Bistan through Frenzy? Potency certainly doesn't seem to be an issue for him at all, at least in T6.

You will have trouble with multiple turn meters being filled at the same time. As good as STH is, he's a liability in a Bistan team. Royal Guard would not be bad in his place and since Bistan's Frenzy move adds turn meter, you can just speed him up instead of STH.

thanks for the reply, just trying to understand how it's a bad idea to pair these toons..
since all their abilities allow an equal percentage increase in TM for ALL allies, does it really affect the turn order? I know when two TM bars fill simultaneously, RNG decides who goes next, but that wouldn't happen if all toons had different speeds?

Where are you getting the 10 shards a day from? I have gone two days at times without seeing him show up. I am thinking of placing him in a Wedge (L), Biggs, Lando, and Ackbar. Would it be an effective team without a tank?

It's random like most toons in fleet shipments but he does appear at least once a day, I find he shows up after arena reset mostly.

The issue is that when two or more people have full turn meters, it is random as to who gets to go.

So specifically using an example with Ackbar and Bistan: suppose Bistan has frenzy and AA does Tactical Genius, Bistan basics (for example) since he gets full meter from AA special, Lando uses his special which fills Bistan's meter and Tactical Genius fills Lando. Now ideally Bistan goes so he can be filled again when Lando specials a second time, but 50% of the time Lando will go instead.

You'll need to be extra careful so that these things happen: (1) AA uses Tactical Genius AFTER Frenzy triggers the first time. Otherwise Bistan uses his special and gets a turn from TG which wastes a turn of Frenzy. (2) AA ideally goes third, as in TG triggers the third turn of Frenzy, so that the fourth and final Frenzy turn triggers on the first special used after TG is up.

Anyway, it just needs to be done carefully, is all.

Your turn order would be best as:
Bistan
Leia
SRP
AA
Lando

If you had STH instead of SRP, the AA then Lando order would mess up, since AA and Lando (and Bistan) would all have full meters after his taunt. The issue with SRP remains that on Frenzy, Leia's stealth move, and Tactical Genius...SRP may get a basic assist in and fill multiple meters from his 15% meter on basic.

But if he was RG (or Poe) that couldn't happen.

Edit: this also is contingent on Bistan NOT fully filling RG, AA, or Lando's turn meters. Otherwise you get the multi-meter fills right off the bat.
