Hello. There seems to be some character sets that are very overpowered when all of the characters are combined into one unit. The Nightsister set is the best example. The set which includes Old Daka, Mother Talzin, Asajj Ventress, Talia, and a Nightsister Zombie, becomes impossible to defeat at a certain point. The zombie ressurects repeatedly, and locks all attacks onto it, making it impossible to attack any of the other characters. Even with attacks that damage all, they are able to heal each other.The other set which proves to be too difficult or impossible to defeat would be the Phoenix set (Ezra Bridger, Chopper, Sabine Wren, Hera Syndulla, Garazeb "Zeb" Orellios, Kannan Jarrus). They buff each other and give each other bonus attacks to the point that they absolutely destroy any competition.These two character sets remove any kind of challenge for the person using them, and removes any fun for the competitor going up against them. Since these sets are so overpowered, many users have them, which makes the Galactic War an almost impossible challenge to complete, and the Squad Arena a boring chore.I understand how having character sets that give bonuses are a fun dimension of the game. But these afforementioned sets are overpowered, and the fun of creating a customized squad of various characters becomes redundant. I, personally do not want to get these sets for myself, because I want to enjoy the game, instead of cheesing my way through it with overpowered character sets like so many others. If someone could look into it and find a solution, that would be splendid.Thanks for reading.

Taunt with STH and watch all those counter-attacks morph inti insane TM for your team.DPS teams that DO NOT DEBUFF will crush Phoenix.

The two teams you mention are what make swgoh great. individually those toons are nothing special a few are good but nothing great in other teams. what they have is synergy, its great.they both also have specific counters and strategies that can just make them crumble. do a quick search in the strategy section and you can cut them down quick.

try searching for a way to beat them, none have said you need some kinda OP squad to beat them, however, you need the right tools for the job, and for NS, AOE attacks are key, your squad is literally useless because it is single target attackers, except for JKA, that's not good enough cuz he doesn't hit that hard, try getting some of the other easily farmable AOE attackers built up and you will laugh at how simple it is to beat NS

That... is a terrible team.Jedi are, unfortunately, one of the weakest themes in the game. Mace is generally regarded as one of the worst toons in the game, which while hyperbole is not far off. Jedi Consular is pretty useless on any serious team. Ahsoka is only moderately functional with Anakin synergy, and even then, not much. Anakin himself, while one of the few Jedi who can hit worth a damn, is also pretty mediocre.A Jedi rework is necessary at some point. We haven't gotten word on when or if it will happen. And most of the genuinely good Jedi don't really work well together.In a game where the characters are meaningfully distinct in an interesting way that shifts as content is added is, there will always be teams that work better or worse and characters that don't really have a place at any given time.Now. If you really want to run a Jedi team, I suggest you start with Qui Gon Jin. Once he has his zeta, he has one of the few leadership abilities that can bring the team together, granting a solid speed boost to everyone on the team, an offense boost based on speed (which you always want to mod high), and foresight to all Jedi at the start of the encounter and every time a Jedi dies. So, in one fell swoop, it grants your team a substantial boost to speed, striking power, and survivability. Also, Qui Gon himself is a generally solid unit, and one of the few Jedi who can hit well. His basic has double-edged turn meter manipulation, and using his Harmonious Assault to call Ezra to assist at +75% damage turns him into a sledgehammer. Also, he gives you a buff cleanse that grants your entire team offense up.You need a real tank. Mace, despite being tagged a tank, is not a real tank. In fact, the Jedi have a bunch of tanks who aren't really tanks. Practically, you have three options. First? General Kenobi. He is the best Jedi tank. He's also probably way out of reach, as the tank raid character. Second? Kanan Jarrus. He works. His offense down inflicting counter attack and heal-on-debuff and minor cleanse are nice. If you have him set up, you can slot him in now. Third? Obi Wan. He's the one I recommend. He hits like a wet noodle, but he's tough, his mind trick renders entire enemy teams impotent and gives all your Jedi turn meter if resisted, if he goes down first your entire team turns into a bunch of superheroes, and if you Devoted Protector zeta, when his taunt gets dispelled, as is the fate of tanks, it comes back for a round, making him much harder to bypass.Ezra stays. He's the hardest-hitting Jedi. Calling Qui Gon to assist wrecks things, and since Qui Gon is a Support rather than an attacker it grants them both turn meter, which is his best assist effect. In a pinch, he can give Ben 40% protection back by calling him to assist instead. His Flourish is a second buff removal option, but you'd rather use it against non-buffed targets for that big turn meter gain and high damage.Grandmaster Yoda. Generally regarded as the worst legendary, GM Yoda is also the fastest. Qui Gon's zeta turns speed into offense. That makes Yoda hit surprisingly hard. His Battle Meditation protects your party from dangerous Sith debuffs. His buff manipulation does crazy shenanigans.Last slot? You want a good healer. Either Barriss or Hermit Yoda. But until you can get them, Anakin for more offense is usable.Barriss is easier to get, and her zeta is a very potent sustain.Hermit Yoda is a pain in the butt to get, but can turn your tank into a nigh immortal and Ezra into a devastating monster of a hitter. Qui Gon calling an Ezra with Master's Training and Offense Up on him with that +75% damage Harmonious Assault can cut through damn near anything.The result, while not the best team, is a reasonably accessible Jedi team that can at least give a fair run against the Sith heavy meta. But you really need that zeta on Qui Gon's leadership ability to bring it together.

I prefer faction synergy to cookie cutter teams

In the last tw a group of ns stumped our guild in the first stage with 40 wins. Our guild isnt very powerful as we just started succeeding in haat about 2 months ago and most people are around 1.5M power. I took out two groups using AoE group, one being another ns group with z-assajj lead and the other lando.

Also i have been seeing there low power ns groups more and more in my arena. 4* mother and 3* zombie can beat 100k+ CLS lead group that took months of farming dedication to get.

They need to buff leader abilities that grant bonuses to all allies, since the only good one right now is Rex

Mono-faction teams are too cookie cutter because they're handed to you, so you want them to hand you a mixed faction leadership ability?

Faction synergies are a large part of what makes different units viable. That a CLS or Ackbar lead bolsters Rebels makes a variety of Rebel units more attractive. That Palpatine bolsters Sith and Empire makes a variety of Sith and Rebel units more attractive.

If you take that out, you end up in a situation where titans are the only thing worth running, which is already rather a problem. It just becomes questions like, "Who is best tank?" Plug in General Kenobi. "I need some control." Plug Thrawn or Raid Han. And so on. You go from a couple dozen viable characters to much more monotone teams.

Looking at my own shard's leaderboards, not a lot of it is mono-faction. The Rebel teams tend to have Thrawn and/or General Kenobi. The Palpatine teams are dual-faction. The Rey teams tend to have two out-of-faction characters.

I do like the ackbar lead a lot. It's explicit benefits only go towards rebels, but it rewards you for running non rebels in a support role.

TBH, I much prefer the titans meta over what we have now. As strong as they were, they had several glaring weaknesses that made them easy prey for a smart player. Right before Rey got released, you could be successful in arena running nigtsisters with talzin, nightsister with just assaj and weak zombie, ewoks, first order, GK/zarris, or ackbar/hermit yoda teams. All of them could beat CLS pretty easily

Nowadays, it feels like you're pretty pigeonholed into running palpatine, Rey, or a Rex mix team to succeed in arena
