Ezra Bridger - does he fit a meta jedi team?

that's what I was thinking unless the OP doesn't have yoda's BM zeta'd?

if not.....get it done!

I'm surprised aayala is in your thoughts for the end team. JKA hands down imho. I like her as a toon but surely there's too much tenacity up now days for her true potential to be shown.

I don't know enough about ezra to say but I like what I see so far. so maybe:

QGJ, GK, JKA, Yoda, Ezra? for DPS or swap out ezra for Zbarriss for defence?

Thinking outside the box, what about GK, Zbarriss, JKA, Yoda, Ezra?

One problem with pure Jedi teams is that you will lose almost all the time vs. zMaul. If you add R2 to the mix, you at least stand a chance, but a win is by no means guaranteed.

Or against folks like me that run EP lead. Vader, sid, maul, and tfp. Jedi get sliced like butter. I will say maybe Yoda is "bad" on defense if he's targeted first. I always go after him first because of tenacity up

You must be on a new shard, if I faced that team your Maul and EP would be dead before they had a chance to attack.

Agreed. I run a similar empire team that relies on debuffs and I wouldn't touch your jedi team with a barge pole.

Ezra is fantastic. I really like using him in my Jedi squad. He does hit real hard and works rather well with Aayla in the mix. If you don't have GK, it's still good to run a ZQGJ, Ezra, JKA, Aayla and R2 combo.

On offense maybe, but EP lead on defense gets wrecked by zQGJ. In fact, the only squad I have troubles with is zMaul...that's about it (on offense)

QGJ JKA R2 Ezra and GK can consistently beat any team out there.

Not true in the least. I run pure Jedi and demolish all Zaul teams. Take out Maul and Nihilus.

I run Zqgj, GK, Ezra, JKA, and R2z2, I am f2p and finish first daily I have been running a combination of a zqgj jedi team for about 6-8 months now. IMO that is the best jedi squad you can have. A lot of people have suggested subbing out JKA but I highly disagree with this. Having JKA in the mix will force opponents to attack JKA first so that will save Ezra from getting targeted, or if they go after ezra first then JKA will punish them with righteous Fury. JKA acts as a tank without being a tank. Plus his buff and heal immunity is essential for dealing with Chaze's, his aoe hits hard and helps finish off enemies that are protected by taunt or stealth.

Yoda isn't required anymore so good call on subbing him out. I agree he is very poor on defense and doesn't bring much unless he is user controlled. He isn't much of a threat and either Ezra or Aayla are a good replacement. I zeta'd my yoda and even with the zbm he isnt as good as either of those. Invest in R2's two zetas and you will see a very good Jedi team.

Have you faced GK(lead), chaze, zBariss and DN? I've only had success, limited, by putting in DN myself and annihilating zBariss.

Ok thanks for the replies, gents.
Some questions rose and I'd like to adress them:

But, yes, Ezra is very viable on a Jedi team mostly due to his Dps. If you want to maximize that team you should strongly consider Zeta-ing R2 number crunch and finding room for him. It takes Jedi to a whole new level. Haven't dropped of the top 10 in a week.

Well, @Treadhead2017 pretty much answereed already. Whenever I'm playing against him, I just focus him down first. It really is a non issue, specially considering how bad the AI is. To be fair, though, I'm pretty torn between removing him or zBarriss. I'll have to think more about this one, specially because Yoda is my fastest char atm and he attacks a lot during the span of a match.

Yeah, I dont have my Yoda Zeta'd, and I came to the conclusion its a waste under zQGJ lead. First, because Yoda always opens up with BM - well, not always, but most of the time. So, most of the time, it's useless because the whole team already has Foresight on the get go. Sure, if you manage to use BM a second time during the match it may find a purpose, but at that point toons are dying and you are getting Foresight anyway. So yea, no zetad Yoda for me - ever.

On the debacle between adding R2 or not to the team, I just can't do it. My OCD doesnt allow me to run non jedi (Im so sad FAT isnt in my team).
Aayala even against Tenacity up toons I find to be pretty good, she has a ton of Protection/Health and her assist is pretty baller. I've managed to use Ezra assist with her, then she hits, somebody else attacks, then Ezra double taps again. This synergy is sweet.

All in all, I think it comes down to personal preferences. However, can someone explain to me why the GK + zBarriss combo is considered pretty good in most teams, but not in a Jedi team? I genuinely dont understand.

It'll be I nteresting to see who uses a Ezra/Fisto combo when Kit gets a rework. If his chances to Multi attack increase in a rework, Ezra's W&L on Kit will wreck squads. I was messing around in GW the other day and used Ezra W&L on Leia for 6 attacks. It was awesome. Since Kit doesn't have an attack limit (I've had an RNG where he attacked 4 times) it's fun to use.

The most successful team I have used...and still use...is zQGJ (L), Ezra, Aayla, GK, R2D2zz.
