Question about Jyn

I have Chirrut (6* G10) and Baze (4* G10), and just managed to get Jyn this time (boy was it hard work). Is it worth me pursuing gearing her? My current Wiggs / Chaze / Shore arena team can only get me to around 50-60th in arena (April shard). Generally getting taken down by much faster teams, and B2 / TFP can shut down Chaze pretty quickly. StHan can also be a problem if hes fast and gives the opposition almost 2 turns before i've moved, if Baze fires back at him.

Thought I saw a video on here last Jyn tournament with just those 3 (Jyn/Chaze) beating top arena teams on their own. Or was that because she was 7*?

Also, why does Jyn have all this potency buff stuff? Which rebels would be able to take full advantage of it? Wedge does defense down, but after that i'm struggling. I thought potency was only used when applying a debuff or a tm reduction, or does it go further than that?

Full Rogue one team
Jyn, K2SO, cassian, Baze, Chirrut.
All but chirrut can debuff and need potency.

To really make Jyn lead shine and useful you really need cassian. He is the only rebel that can land multiple debuffs at once and thus stack exposes from jyn lead ability.

So if you don't have cassian on the team using jyn lead is a waste IMO. Use wedge lead at that point.

I posted this earlier on a different thread and wanted to chime in here as well:

"I got Jyn 6*, max gear XI, 270 speed, leader zeta'd and was very disappointed in how she performed in arena. I thought the 5% protection recovery zeta would have more of an impact in arena survivability than it did.

Jyn (l), Barriss (zeta), GK, Chaze got slaughtered in arena easily so I'm no longer using Jyn. Very disappointed....maybe if the leader zeta protection recovery was 10% vs 5% she would be more viable in arena."

From talking to fellow guildmates and reading multiple forums, it seems Jyn can be very useful in raids but is not viable for top arena spots. I'm kicking myself so hard now for maxing her gear and blowing a zeta on her leadership ability; biggest mistake I have made to date.

I'm about to finish gearing my Chirrut (Stun Cuffs...Ugh) and have a 6* max gear Baze to pair with him that I've been running with Wiggs. Your comment has convinced me that Zeta Jyn isn't a good way to go for me (and saved me some time gearing her, so thanks). So what Zeta would you recommend to round out that foursome? Barriss?

I'm just waiting until they release Gin Beefeater... now THAT's a character I'd like to be play.

I'm running zeta Barriss on my arena team and it seems to hold up well. However if your goal is to run a Rogue1 team then it might be worth holding off. Others here think a team with Jyn, Chaze, KS2O and Cassian might be viable in arena but I have some doubts about that myself.

i fought against a 7* Jyn (G8 I think) in arena today. They had Wiggs, Jyn, Leia and Lando. Wedge was lead.

She's pretty easy to take out IMO but she's a little pesky with her revive.

My problem there is the best I can do with Cassian is 3* and my Jyn is just shy of 6*. I know star count isn't as important as it used to be, but running a team where I can only field one 7* just seems like an invitation for people to attack me. Hearing that Jyn doesn't do well controlled by AI seems like they'd be very bad on defense? Or does the K2/Baze pair bounce the taunt around enough to work?

I honestly dont know enough about K2 to comment on that, but I can tell you Baze shines a lot more with Chirrut, so if you don't have Chirrut I would not invest in a Rough team unless it's a longer term goal. 3* seems to be pushing viability in top arena. I run 4* Chirrut and he is kinda squishy.

When I was playing around with it K2 is a constant punching bag. As such and taking lots of crits and getting lots of hots he is a sitting duck for a Boba one shot.

He is fun on the team but I think it performs better with zeta bariss and maybe also with gk (don't have him yet to try)

Now that people are discussing it, 5% protection does not seem like very much. Think about it--if you want one buff to be good for one hit, that would mean it takes 20 hits normally to strip protection off. For example, if you had 30,000 max protection, 5% would be 1500. At levels where 30,000 protection is competitive, 1500 is much less than a non-crit hit. So you would need multiple frequent buffs just to gain enough for one extra hit. Chirrut and zeta k2 with Leia would seem like a must. Could work on pathfinder with Chirrut too (who you'd wnt anyway because of the aoe expose). But compared to 20% health recovery on a crit for Barriss, it seems like not very much for a zeta.

there are lots of debuffs going around. with chirrut on this team and possibly GK you can add 3+ buffs to them with one ability from chirrut or GK that is 15%+ protection.
plus anytime chirriut uses his basic he has a chance to give HoT, that is 4% health heal and 5% protection heal out of turn
with GK and chirrut every crit hit that is 10% protection gain.
GK throwing out FS from his basic is also another 5% protection heal out of turn.
