So in a game of speed wins (unless pretaunt), the FO just are not cutting it yetI placed a First Order team (be it, non zeta, not fully geared) in arena. They work, but only, and absolutely only, if FOO goes first. At a base speed of 145, this is very hard unless you have whale mods (mine is 230)An easy fix, just one more buff, that FOO gains 5 speed per FO ally.How has First Order been working for you? I have been playing galactic war with my undergeared FO team and they are by far the most fun team I played as in this game

They're fun in the pit, and when fully geared and zeta'd I plan on trying them in P2 AAT.

You can always save your best speed mods for FOO. Between him, Phasma's lead/TM and Kylo (don't remember if FOST can give TM) your team will have plenty of extra turns. Plus now Kylo hits harder and FOTFP has always been one of the best attackers in the game in terms of damage anyway. I'd say you can get to high places with speed mods, zetas and good gear with this team. Specially in this debuff meta.

They'll either lose FOO or FOTP before getting a turn.

Not everyone has to be arena viable

Nobody said they did. They simply stated they weren't.

First order is only going to get better as the movies come out just be patient. there are other factions that need more. I'm surprised they even updated Kylo since he's probably gonna do a bunch of new stuff in EP.8.

But we also don't need to have only a tiny handful of meta teams

Good thing there's so much more to the game than Arena!
