Jedi are awful...

Do new players even bother trying to get five 7* Jedi's to get Grand Master Yoda these days knowing that he's completely useless?

Every squad in the game is GK +4 really. People are in denial trying call it a EP/Vader, Sith, JTRey Squad, whatever squad. It's really just GK plus 4. Betcha there's people in your shard that has 4 nightsisters with GK.

Unfortunately yes, at least in my case. I didn't actually realize how useless Jedi were until I already had a team of 5* Jedi to get a 5* GMY.

At this point, I realize exactly how useless they are, but the team was already built up and almost to 7*s, so I just figured "What the heck?," and kept leveling them.

At least I have a half decent Rebel team that I leveled to get Palp that I can use instead.

I am ashamed that I spent refreshes farming jedi to get GM Yoda.... Worst mistake. Everyone on the forums say the devs care so much about light side... if that was the case, Jedi would dominate.

Look, I don't want Jedi to dominate. But it would be nice if you could field a full Jedi squad, and actually be competitive. That's all I'm personally asking for.

Some of the most powerful Jedi from a lore point of view (Mace Windu, GMY, JKA, etc.) are pathetically weak gamewise. Let's just tweak these toons and give them the respect that they deserve.

Gk lead zarriss, ezra, hermit Yoda and any of normal Yoda, qgj, jka is a good team

My G7 7* GK is pretty worthless to me.

I never have and never will use him in arena just because he is so prevalent.

I ran full Bounty Hunter’s way back, then full Sith, full Empire, and now EP led full Empire team.

To the OP’s point, some people like to run “pure” synergy teams and the fact of the matter is that a full Jedi team is rubbish in arena right.

Yeah, but don't say 'never'. I sat on G7, 7* GK for months, then I took him from 7 to 12 in one shot, because I got sick of being slapped all over the arena board, and it's a big difference. I went from Deathstar to Starkiller-base-God-mode in almost any line up overnight.

If you didn't have say Shoretrooper, or if you need to fast track a new Empire squad and need a filler, then max gear GK is an easy and versatile substitute in any scenario I'd say.

The game goes in cycles. I'll admit the Jedi have never hit as hard as the rebels do (which imo is a little too hard) but the Sith were pretty weak too before this recent rework. But even after the rework that happened I think Sith should be looked at again just damage output wise. I'm actually convinced that they don't want to balance the game to keep everyone buying new characters, instead of letting players settle with their favorite characters and just enjoy the game. But anyway, I'm sure the jedi's time will come when they get back around to it.

Hmm after checking the meta report, seems like I've also forgotten Old Ben who is pretty good now after the rework.

Now if I take all the good Jedi I've listed so far, GK lead, OB, Zarriss, Kermit, Ezra, that might even be a team. Probably can just climb off the backs of all the NS teams.

As a whole, the faction ain’t great. But Ezra, Kanan, Hermit, GK, Zarriss, zQG, and Old Ben all have their uses in many parts of the game. It ain’t all about arena.
