3 slight changes/additions that would make a world of difference for a truly competitive resistance team.1) Poe's omega unique: +5% heal on resist (12.5%total), +8% tenacity (30% total), and "at the beginning of each of Poe Dameron's turns he gives the ally with the least amount of health foresight for 2 turns"2) Finn's Zeta Leader: remove the defense buff and add ,"resistance allies gain 5 speed for every living ally with no debuffs"3) Poe's Resistance Bravado: (not as necessary, but I just love it): add, "If Finn is present he assists"So in my opinion nothing earth shattering or crazy OP'd. These seem in line with other abilities we see out there but would really help.Right now the resistance doesn't have very much synergy with Finn's zeta that grants advantage whenever foresight is lost, Poe's suggested unique would change that.It is also important that Poe goes first, but, while fast for a tank, he doesn't quite have the speed needed, the speed buff would really help here.Let me know what you think, OP'd? Not enough? What suggestions would you make?

Don't think a res team needs that speed buff tbh they are craaaazy fast with those exposes dropping left right and centre. The other two seem like nice addition but the only thing that holds them back is on defence. On offence it's godly.sadly I don't think they can be top tier like a zader or Zaul team as the AI can't play it correctly on defence. Probably similar to the now reworked FOnsquad. Great on offence but will drop like a rock on defence.

I would add TM gain instead of flat speed for Finn leader at start of encounter. Zaul lead is too difficult to match with flat speed because of percentage gain instead of flat number.

1) Poe's unique will get a Zeta at some point if devs follow the current path so I think it could get a bigger buff than what you said.2) I think you underestimate the significance of the defense buff from Finn's lead, 60% can make for a stout Poe and Finn.3) I agree this could be a lovely bonus but is certainly not necessary.I disagree on the foresight-advantage synergy. I think the purpose was to get people to run full resistance as it would give Rey and Pilot some nice dps, while the rest provides for TM and CD resets.Concerning Poe speed I have to disagree, Poe is (apart from autotaunts) by far the fastest taunter, his base is faster than STH under AA lead, it removes TM and Exposes, basically providing for insane TM action by the team. I don't see why Poe should have 280 speed and then be able to taunt every turn.

I think smaller factions need a buff first:Ewoks,Tuskens,Nightsisters,Not factional:____Ugnaught,____Mob Enforcer,____CUP

Because Sith Assassin will give TM to the other Sith with her 25% speed bonus under Zaul lead? Making Resistance a faction without a pretaunt?

RP seems underwhelming to me so the only person staking advantage of the foresight-advantage (no pun intended...) is Rey, which granted is awesome, but granting foresight to the lowest health toon just seems like a great tank ability (increasing the survivability of the team) and also works great with Finn lead

One of the reasons I want a Finn assist is that with his special having a 2 turn cool down, plus cooldown refresh off expose hits means I rarely, if ever, use his basic (stun plus expose is just too good) which is a good thing, but I feel like I'm missing out on a really good basic.

Good points on the speed buff

Sith Assassin makes Sith very much like droids, first onslaught is bad, but since not 100% of arena teams are Zaul, SA would would see an outrage. Unless you'd run a faster Poe or Zaul, SA you wouldn't take a turn because Poe can litterally gain 100% TM while you gain less than 10% and go back to taunt, TMR and expose

I could argue the same and say instead of the defense boost for Cody lead clones should get %speed for every clone ally. Have fun trying to get a turn once 212th starts rolling and CS removes 50% TM.

I think you got a point there but I wouldn't worry too much, Resistance hasn't gotten the FO or Sith overhaul yet. I could see devs giving Resistance some love once TLJ approaches

Agree about Sith and Clones. However, I think the motion has been set so that Zaul become one of the most popular lead in a month: Evasion always has been a counter to speed, and here you get both (plus a defense against AoE crits).

My issue about Zaul is the percent speed gain (unique) on start and it would have been nice to have a counter with Resistance or Clones.
