Someone that will help out your roster for sure (especially if you are looking to continue with dark side) is shoretrooper. It looks like you have him unlocked at 3* but not geared yet, which is fine. He is amazing at gear 9+ and 3*, trust me I have him 3* as well. He provides some starting protection from wiggs and other fast teams such as droids, as well as providing a great heal and crit immunity to all allies for a couple turns. It also looks like you have sun fac developed, so you could run some interesting double tank strategies.


Rex (L), STHan, Boba, Biggs, Wedge
Rex (L), STHan, Boba, Palpatine, TFP
Rex (L), STHan, Boba, Sun Fac, Palpatine

As far as mods go for these squads, I would make rex the fastest, that way you can use squad discipline right away to get your STHan's taunt up asap. You would want you Boba fast as well, followed by biggs/tfp depending on which variation you run. The great part about having a rex lead, is you can switch it up based on who you are facing. For example: if you are facing a wiggs team, then you want palpatine/tfp. If you are facing a high dmg team or a team with lots of buffing going around and need the extra tank, then put sun fac in.

Another good thing about rex: he makes up for **** speed secondaries on mods. This is something I struggle with as well. His leadership provides turn meter to fill what you lack in speed.

Something else I noticed in your roster is a great lack of speed arrows with the primary stat of speed. This is something you must fix immediately. My advice would be to check the mod shop at every reset and buy every single speed arrow you see. Refresh it with 15 crystals as well, since that isn't a bad deal. Buy only the mods that cost credits, however. If you can get a 5 dot speed arrow on each of your characters you will see your arena rank increase drastically no matter what team you run.

Thanks for all of that insight. This obviously didn't just take a couple minutes to write. I actually have the materials to zeta 1 character right now, and as for the speed arrow mods... I've been looking for them all the time.. I never seem to get any. I'd like to start focusing on the dark side. Sith and empire, I've actually also started on kylo a little bit (in anticipation of the knights of ren come December). I think after reading through your post I'm going to buy the shore trooper pack currently on sale in the store to get a jump on him. I'm also curious about how much resources I should commit to my pilots for fleet arena. I finish first most days, the odd time I'll finish 2nd,3rd, but should I continue to give my pilots the most attention via zeta's, omega's, gear, credits, or is squad arena more important to focus on(I'm usually finishing around 90-100).
