Thank god finally. His usage is dropping on GG. Looks like Thrawn and the empire are staring to gain traction.

Are you talking about the meta report? Thrawn is only in 1% of #1 teams right now. I think his usage will grow as he's a strong individual character but I don't think his leader ability is particularly great so he won't elevate Empire enough to have a big effect on the meta. Rex's usage is stagnant because the Chaze growth seems to be causing a net raise in Wedge leadership. Arena diversity is poor and getting worse:Nihilus on 74% of #1 teamsGK 63%Baze 52%Rex 50%Chirrut 50%R2 42%

Mark my words in a month Rex will be under 33 percent and him and wedge will account for less than 50 percent of teams.

The triple cleanse teams are tricky to beat when you are running dark side squads. Unless you have thrawn on your side ;-D

I would say it would depend on when Fulcrum becomes available through other means. Once people start getting her to 7* I think you might see a variety of teams built around her

Mark my words in a month Rex will be under 33 percent and him and wedge will account for less than 50 percent of teams. The number of total characters used is greater than the number of teams the list is based on x5, I'm guessing because some players rank #1 with more than one team. But anyways the percentaes for each character often go up or down a point or two each day, longer term trends are more significant. And I predict that Baze/Chirrut will continue their slow upward climb until they are nerfed either directly or indirectly (by new gear, a new power creep character, a new Zeta, etc.).

It's worth pointing out that thrawn has shown up a little because people wanted to try him out. The truth is he's bad on defence. the guy in my shard put him in for R2 in his rex/chaze/DN side. it took him less than 48 hours to take thrawn out and put R2 back in.

I know that's not rex specific but my point is that thrawn will probably be needed in an empire team rather than rex lead. so until people get that tarkin mix moving, I don't expect too much to change.

I fell to 3rd last night sooooo....

And my Thrawn is a g9 wimp

Just out of curiosity, what is your team comp with Thrawn? I have a 7 star, gear 9 Thrawn too and was thinking of trying it in Arena, but unsure of what the right team comp would be.

DT Thrawn Tarkin(L) GK DN.

Speeds 242 240 237 221 and 217

Are those empire speeds with or without tarkin lead? So is DT 270 because of tarkin or 242 because of tarkin?

He is 270. Could bump him a little higher but I like keeping a CD triangle on him.

U can grab #1 with Thrawn and empire, but on defense they are still very bad. Until they fix Thrawn that's how is gonna be. Out of my top 20 only 3 including my self don't run a Rex lead.

Give people some time to get Thrawn running. No matter the comp you probably want at least 2 empire toons with him.

Lol, well I can come close to you on Thrawn, DN and GK but your DT (242) and Tarkin (237) speeds are crazy! That's +115 for Tarkin and +124 for DT, I believe. Wow!

Not quite. DT is plus 118(have another mod I'm not using that can make him plus 120) Tarkin got a boost with the update too he is at plus 103.

Could still be a little early to call, since Thrawn was JUST released and everyone is 'playing around' with new ideas. We shall see....

I guess it depends of each shard, on mine everybody is kicked out of top 10.

Thats what I run:

They're aware of our thoughts. :) Not sure if that translates to changing it and if/when we would even see a change if they do mess with it.
