If you want the best % chance possible to beat Poe use this team.SidGsReyHoth scoutDookuYou need 2 or 3 of your team to go before their Poe. Pick ig-88 or qui-gon someone you know that does a ton damage that you have a good chance to kill. Poe will taunt the rest of your team into attacking him their first turn. The idea is to come away after the first turn against a maxed out Poe team both down 2 people. Then you can focus characters and win. If you absolutely can't stand using Poe this the best way way to counter him at the moment. Cheers.

Fair enough. I may have read the OP too quickly.

No there's 0% chance Qui-Gon goes before Poe. Unless you use your own Poe, but that's turn meter manipulation.

Assuming the rest of the team contains nightmare DPSers, once he taunts, the game is basically over. That's the problem with Poe, and what CG inexplicably did nothing to address.

Okay, but how is this team not helped by replacing Sid (or Hoth, or even Dooku) with Poe? I don't see it.

The common denominator of Ewok's suggested team? All are turn 7 heroes.

GS - turn 7
Rey - turn 7
Hoth scout - turn 7
Dooku - turn 7
Sid to amplify damage

...hoping one of them can take out Poe before he taunts.

So much for CG trying to diversify team comp. It's simply a race to go faster and deliver more damage. Who cares whether Asajj got "nerfed?" She unfortunately does not have a place in the current meta whether she group heals or not...

This will change when the level 80 cap is released.

I think the longest term solution will be the team that @reizse proposed.

@obiwan1011 Well, not "change" but get "updated".

I'm starting to consider all the suggestions to just 2x health across the board in a patch. It would take some of the meta off from speed...

Just like hoda, all that matters are fast damage dealers. All the other toons and other play styles are useless.

Plus, Yoda (or whomever is new) will be useful in meta teams. You'll see.

I think his original point is more of a philosophical one -- if you can't bring yourself to use Poe, use this.

Exactly this more if you really want to have a decent chance beat maxed Poe teams without a Poe.
