Help with PVP Team

@Empiric1
You have a got a viable PVP-Team. Use your strongest chars in arena unless synergies are better than a single char. Could you perhaps give some more deatailed information about stars and gear? To me it sounds a bit like a beginner PVP-Team of a P2P (hello Aayla) around lvl 60+(as i was running a similiar team for a very long time with Phasma/Sid/Lumi). Sidious is ok in Arena, even though he is better as a leader in PVP (as you said - he is not a great DD on his own). Phasma teams can be annoying - but your team has no real Phasma synergies right now. If you want go with her Kylo Ren is worth farming. Do it. I dont have or need Kylo, but he is viable. Current meta is all about speed and damage (Phasma is a bit too slow right now, but still competitive). Luke Skywalker is just ok - due to the fact you already run Poggle you should concentrate on farming Geonosian Soldier in Cantina/IG86 in GW. Geo is a beast, has great synergies with Poggle, and also fits in every PVP-Team - all in all is better than Luke (like Luke 2.0). IG86 is also strong (Droids/Poggle/GW). Boba Fett - well, he is ok, good for your tank challenges...ok he can revive himself and ability block once - but does no damage in PVP. Poe and Fives are better to my mind (also Royal Guard for P2W). HK47 is ok (Droid Team/Poggle synergy) as kind of a little Old Ben. Good to have, ok in Arena, but no must have. Or do you try to build a Droid Team (HK/IGs/Poggle...)? Daka is always worth investing in - she is a beast defensively wise if not killed first. You should invest in her in the long term. Also helping you a lot in dark side missions (or borrow her).
Forget about Ashoka/Talia (only as much as needed for dark side/light side missions. Aayla is great - but only with lots of stars. Generally said: do not invest too much in chars you won´t get 7* soon (Aayla/Darth Vader). Ackbar - hhm, is ok in Galactic War for healing (vs Sid/Darth Vader/Phasma,...but unfortunately thats it in GW) or in a full PVP Rebell Squad (at least as leader + Han Solo)...otherwise forget about him. No damage. If i were u i would invest in QGJ before Daka. Farming Kylo shards(how many Stars?) if you wanna run Phasma or Sid as leader, otherwise farm Geonosian Soldier soon. To my mind QGJ and Geo are the best toons in this game right now.

Thanks.

I'm level 60, most characters are 4 or 5 stars. I don't want to commit with getting 7 stars yet because I can't decide on which toons I like the best. I play this game for fun and experimenting most of all, am happy between rank 250-500!

I can see GS is a beast but I want Kylo Ren first because I really like the characters design.

So between Sid, Poggle and Phasma you'd say the best person to replace with a damage dealer is Phasma ? I already have IG86 and IG88, I have 2 star QGJ so I could keep farming him instead of Bobba Fett I will also have Kylo Ren soon, and I can put Darth Sid as the leader?

@Empiric :-) as i thought you are lvl 60, ok. Well, farm the chars you like and always keep in mind where you want to go. Galactic War will get harder for you the better your PVP squad gets - so get a deeper roster with very good healers (lvl 69 Cantina you can farm Barriss Offee). If i were you i would build your Phasma team with Kylo (Kylo replacing Luke or Poggle) and your best 3 Chars. Do not concentrate much on Luke anymore. Poggle´s offense up buff is great, but he really shines in a full droid team or as leader + Geonosian Soldier and droids. I dont know if you will have 5 Jedis at 5* for Yoda event, but most people are concentrating on getting Yoda right now, pushing QGJ in Cantina and for example Eeth Koth in Arena. Current meta is definetely QGJ lead + 1 or 2 Jedis (or +1 Jedi and Tank) and DDs like Geo,Tie Pilot, Rey. QGJ is ok at 4*, viable at 5* in Arena as leader. Droids/Poggle Teams always climb up fast in the ladder, being able to beat any team, and you see some Phasma and Sidious Teams in between.
Just to give you an example: my PVP Team is QGJ (L), Yoda (6*, hopefully 7* this week), Daka, Royal Guard (6*), Geonosian Soldier. Enough damage to end up in top 6 every day, enough defense to stay top 20 over night. I would strongly recommend to farm QGJ instead of Boba (Boba 4* is enough for tank challenge). By the way: calculate a bit. Maybe u should invest 50 crystals in Arena for having 10 fights a day. Try to get top 200 soon. It will help you a lot. Therefore i would stick to your Phasma (L) team first.

Hi, thank you for your help again. I think I've decided what I'm going to focus on, interested to hear your thoughts? I'm going to replace Luke and Poggle to have.

Captain Phasma (L)
Darth Sidious
Kylo Ren
Luminara (I will eventually want to replace her too)
QGJ (Replaced Luke with QGJ)


What are your thoughts on replacing Luminara with Old Daka ?

And maybe using Geo Soldier, IG88 or IG86 in place of QGJ ? Or Should I stick to Luke here? I also like the thought of Count Dooku but won't be able to farm him for a while.

So best to replace Luke with Kylo Ren and keep Phasma / Sid/Poggle /Luminara ?

I really don't want to farm GS I think the character is boring and lacks substance. :(

Update:

I am using Kylo now, he is a beast and definitely worth. am enjoying it.

Team is now

Phasma (Lead)
Sid
Kylo
Poggle
Lumi

I'm thinking of replacing Lumi, she just doesnt synergise imo, I dont really need the heal as Sid heals himself, phasma is tanky, poggle only useful for buff and ability block and attacking Kylo is basically suicide. So she just rarely makes an impact apart from her special attack.

I'm thinking of replacing her and have a few ideas.

Bobba Fett ? AoE block, tank, more aoe dmg.
FOO - Synergy with kylo and phasma + turn manipulation
Old Daka - stuns, revive, cool character.

I want a character with a really strong AoE or something which will help seal the deal, Kylo, Sid and Phasma with poggle is a very tanky team with tons of aoe dmg. If I can disable heals (Bobba fett, Lumi) then it puts massive pressure.

Or maybe I should just keep Lumi ? She is my best geared and starred character any way.
