Has anyone used or fought FO team in arena

I have I played against one sitting at around rank 200. No zeta abilities most characters were gear 9 I believe. It did not do the best on defense. The AI just does not play the right attacks to take advantage of the TM increase. The squad is also very rng dependent with Phasma and her bonus attacks. I fought it with a full rebel team of Wedge (L), Biggs, Lando, Ackbar and Stormtrooper Han.

Ah yes, the good ol' "I beat it with Wiggs and fam" line. I guess it's better than the "My droids..." line.

In terms of the FO squad, I feel like Kylo will never use anything other than Lash Out (his AOE) because he'll reset his cooldowns so often and the AI won't use anything else. Which will make him not that difficult to deal with. FOO on defense is the AI picking someone, which is essentially the skill being the same as it was before. Zhasma might be alright on Defense because there should be a lot of extra attacks going, but I think they're all just a little too slow to start off, especially FOST.

A guildy of mine is sitting rank 1 with G11 full FO team currently, no Zeta's yet.

Rank 1 with not a single Zeta on the FO, how old is that shard? :o

It's fine on offense against the weak AI (it can probably beat mostly any team this way), but with no starting taunt, FOO and/or FOTP get obliterated on the first move. It's not even a fair fight.

Yeah, if FOO had a speed boost, the team would be very different.

I doubt the zeta for Kylo is necessary, but the zetas for Phasma, FOTP, and FOST are. While some people probably had 20 or even 40 zetas sitting around while they waited for the Kylo rework, it might be a while before anyone has the team at its full potential.

The zeta for Kylo would be good for the raids or for GW. Not as necessary for arena. Useful, but probably not enough to make a significant difference.

I always think high speed characters should not have high damage or AOE ability block/Stun. Those characters ruin the game. It makes all meta without Shoretrooper and Baze that can't survive on defense.

I agree, it's really sad that we all say "FOST doesn't have pretaunt, so team fails"

It is terrible that pretaunt are so necessary in this meta, but the fix would be to reduce the speed of everyone which is also a terrible idea

While I wish FO was arena viable, it just can't be unless it becomes cookie-cutter baze/shore with TFP/Wiggs type combos....But then there is no character to the team
