Hi all,Simple question here...I'm currently farming the team to get JTR. I'm having no real problems except the inevitable grinding of the Vets. I might be ready the next time around, or if not then the time after that. Anyway.I've got a Zeta to drop...could go on BB8, Scavenger or Finn.I guess my question is- do I need it to get JTR? I'm guessing not.I hear Finn is awesome with a Zeta but declining in worth. I've never actually used him and not all that fussed about doing so.I don't hear anything about Scavenger's Zeta so assuming it's not great.BB8 then? And I'll guess I'll be using him when I get JTR? So maybe answered my own question in writing it! :smile: Anyway, your thoughts?P.s. I've never run a Resistance squad and have little interest in doing so.Thanks to all.

How often are you getting full zetas? If it’s every 2-3 weeks, do bb8. If it’s longer, hold on to them in case you get JTR. That’s how I would do it, anyway.

Tier 5 is supposedly the hardest, but doable without zetas and max gear. I don’t have her yet, missed it by a few shards of the vets last time. Also, if you don’t plan on running resistance teams, bb8’s “rolling with the punches” zeta won’t be much help.

No zetas are necessary, or even terribly helpful, in getting JTR.The limiting fight has Finn, Rey, and Chewie. Chewie's zeta isn't worth it in general. Finn's doesn't really have a team to key off of. Rey's doesn't really help with that fight.As soon as you get a zeta on JTR's lead, Finn is relegated to a B team Resistance leader. And while there are absolutely enough materials to make that Resistance B team really good in Territory Wars, that's gonna be a while.Your baseline is G8, but I'd advise pushing Finn and Rey significantly higher, and using your best mods. The better your mods, the less gear you'll need.I recommend getting all Rey's omegas, because you're going to need the damage, most of Finn's omegas, and an omega on Chewie's basic.

I would hold on to the zeta, see if you need to give it to Finn, if not, then great and add it to JTR lead when you unlock her. I didn't have great mods and needed to zeta Finn, but no regrets. His zeta is really good in TB and TW.

Most JTR teams rely at least in part on BB's Roll With the Punches. So, there's that..But it's certainly not needed to get JTR.

@YaeVizsla - thanks so much. Already got Finn, Rey and BB8 at gear 10, just need to get some good mods on. They can always go on last. All Omegas on Finn, Rey and BB8 also.

Thanks also @medioXcore .

Zeta isn't necesary to get JTR, but you can spend it on Finn, which is very useful also in pvp, raids and TB. If you want to choose BB8 is a programmed choice for your future JTR team. Or you can save them for the new character that you are going to unlock.

Thank you all for your kind and wise help.

I think I will forget about Zetaing anyone right now.

By the time I unlock JTR I'm pretty sure I'll have at least two by then...so will slap one on her, one on BB8 and good to go!

Thank you again.

Presumably you can move across your best Arena mods - which may be much easier if the Mod 2.0 lets us make sets!
I got BB8 with awful FOrder characters....because I moved across my Arena mods.
