Nerf rg.

why nerf RG over rey or old ben??

i can't speak for old ben because i don't come across him much in my shard and i don't have him maxed out yet myself. but rey? in my opinion she is way op with that stick.

i personally feel RG works the way he is suppose to work or maybe he's just working the way i want him to work. he keeps my other toons safe and is generally the first of my toons to die sometimes the only toon to die.

i'm not really going to swing one way or the other on who should or shouldn't get nerfed though. people have been telling me i've been doing a lot of complaining on this forum and to be honest i hadn't realized it so i'm just gonna try and keep things neutral and cool from here on out.

i'm happy with my current team.

Rg 2 strong. Always taunt Everytime. Can't win because cheater always taunt. 2 much health. Very hard to beat.

well i do agree he taunts and is strong. maybe it's because i don't have him maxed out on gear. or maybe it's because of the other toons i have him teamed with.

for me he doesn't taunt until another toon looses enough health which is what i thought was how it was suppose to work.

and as i previously said for me he's the first to die. for me that's his purpose. to keep my other toons from getting destroyed.

i'm running EP 5* gear 11 lead
vader 7* gear 10
RG 7* gear 8
dooku 6*gear 10
offee 6* gear 9

Pls nerf.

Could you guys stop with the mockery and sarcasm?
Unless you all started playing very early after the game was released, I'm sure there were times when you did find RG OP too.
This type of thread needs advice and suggestions, not newbie-bashing.

@Mullato you are cracking me up!

I miss the time when RG was the biggest Problem in Arena. :(

Today there are Zetatoons everywere. My leaderboard is invadet by zaders; zauls and zetabarbies. When you go second you lose. ^^

TFP will ruin many days for taunters. TFP is a worthy investment. Throw in some speed mods and you'll be happy.

depending on your shard he still a bit of a problem. at least for me in my shard he is when pared with other combos.

at this point i will not battle a team that has wiggs, RG and rey on it. i will not battle a full rebel team either. i will not go against any team running wiggs and RG.

i find the arena boring. people keep saying the rebel meta is on its way out along with rey but i haven't seen it yet. i'm just not competitive enough to care about arena right.

Your team is OP.

Lmao royal guard. Compared to Baze or Shoretrooper, or god Emperor General kenobi, he is absolutely terrible.
What are you, rank 400 something?

Maybe he's fairly new. I still see RG in the 50+ bracket - his auto-taunt and his empire heal-over-time, actually make him pretty useful in Zader/EP teams.

To the OP - asking questions here is a bad idea. All you'll get is people like this telling you how they don't face the problem you're facing. Because that's super helpful. Just remember they use 'lmao' in 2017.

There's a helpful post earlier on, but the crux is you need a dispeller if you're regularly butting against RG. Sun Fac is amazing for it and can be farmed from ship shipments thing, B2 and TFP are both hard farms from Cantina Battles. Mace Windu has a dispel and is a ship captain so has a second use, which means you won't feel bad when you park him after getting past the RG hump.

Good luck! :)

Nerf wiggs before RG, they've made arena stale...

I'm on a December 2015 shard. I stay in the 51-100 range. The Wiggs teams are raining down out of the top 50 and I remain in my spot. The top 20 in my my shard has a mix of leaders with Rex, Vader, Emperor, Boba and a couple of QGJ. I think there are only like 4 or 5 teams that run Wiggs in the top 25 and none in the top 10.
