Leader Ability: Barriss or Ima-Gun Di

Ima as leader is not a bad idea at all. Your line up is Boss.
I would actually replace Kit instead of Qui-Gon

The main reason i dont like Qui is because he has some of the lowest survivability of jedi, and Kit is often the last man standing as he is by far my tankiest character which seems more important in pvp defense, but swap Qui-Gon in for when im attacking.

My mindset is that on the defense you are not going to beat someone of equal power as you unless you can abuse the timer, and UI wont expect a defensive team to be able to kill enough of the attackers will make a significant difference.

Jumping between the two leader at the moment, just crossing my fingers that they release a way to farm Aayla and Obi shards.

Ima-Gun Di leadership over Barriss all day, every day. Not even a question.

Hmm current thoughts:

Defensive PvP:
Barriss
Obi-Wan
Aayla Secura
Kitfisto
Ima-Gun Di (may be replaced with Lumi once starred up since I will get her to 7* before I even get Ima to 5*)

Using Ima here kinda relies on how much damage the defense up buff will mitigate, may just drop him entirely for defense in pvp.

Everything Else: (Murder all the things)
Ima-Gun Di
Barriss
Obi-Wan
Aayla Secura
Qui-Gon


I honestly dont like Qui-Gon very much, he seems pretty meh compared to all the others, hopefully we will get some interesting new jedi characters when they release more, which wont be long.

I've never had a problem with bariss but I avoid teams with Ima as leader since I've lost a few times to a full jedi Ima squad.

Just had a full health IG-88 use his AoE against me when I had ima as an ally assist. All 6 of my team counter-attacked and took him from 100% hp to dead.

It may have been the most beautiful thing I have ever seen :')

Obi, Aayla and Kit Fisto arent farmable at all, they can only be aquired through chroma packs. At the moment I think their buisness model is goign to be releasing new characters in the game initially through chroma exclusive, then put the old chroma exclusive up to be farmed somewhere.

If not im gonna be pretty sad when I have to upgrade other chars from scratch since i cant upgrade their star level :'(

I'm prepping for this by focusing on farmable units and just acquiring shards...not building their gear / leveling / promoting yet though. Saves current resources while currently built toons and 4* toons can carry the day. I think the good 4* chrome will be solid for a good bit longer, but if they aren't reasonably farmable soon, I think they will have to get benched eventually. This could happen, need to prep for it.

On to your other question...your team as a whole is pretty tanky, but more limited comparatively on offense. I'd go with Ima over Barris in a tanky jedi setup all day to improve your offensive damage output with counters. Ben does the damage down which is effectively a huge bump in your effective health as your opponent is heavily nerfed for multiple rounds. Aayla also stuns..which means more health for your team effectively as you take a reduced # of hits in any given round. Then you have Barriss and her great heal for more health through the battle. The leader ability on Barriss is great, but IMO in that build it is overkill on health / tanking. I'd go with Ima's leader over Barriss in that setup for a more balanced squad that dishes out more damage.

I'm working hard to get Ima unlocked, it looks like opening packs is the only remedy for me. I opened lots of packs and couldnt unlock it. HALP:[

Im not too concerned with 'wasting' time upgrading them, as even if they do get replaced they make it more likely that I will be able to get through galactic conquest, which is the most important part of the game to be able to do well in.

Ive found that having ima in pvp as the leader really isn't that useful most of the time. When you get high enough that everyone is about equal to your strength, you can not defeat your opponent by killing them on defense, making counters effectively a lot less useful, the opponent attacking you is smart enough not to use AoE, and to focus on one target at a time, while my counter attacks are likely easily healed from. I have however found him slightly useful as a leader when im on the attack and the enemy AI wont be able to kill my team anyway, where killing the opponent ASAP is important, but since your damage this way is dispersed a lot between all the opponents characters it can end up being pointless as it is incredibly easy to heal.

I may have also severely underestimated Qui-Gon, he often crits, his assist attack does devastating damage and is on an incredibly low cooldown, he can use it every other turn. And his ability to get rid of that damn chewy taunt has saved my ass many times.
