49. Mob Enforcer 11
50. Hoth Rebel Soldier 10

52. General Veers 8

Good Teams

1. Grandmaster Yodi (L)
2. Count Dooku
3. Old Ben
4. C-5555 Fives
5. Barriss Offee

Logic: Yoda is a monster; Dooku has high stun and counter rate; Old Ben is a tank and an ability blocker; Fives is a Tank; Does high damage with ally assist attack AND slows downs enemies. Qui-Gon's Assist adds on to make the enemy bow low; A truly fearsome team.

Oh and Barriss is a life saver ;)

To be continued!

-----------------------------------

Here are the math equations that I used to score the strongest characters from the weakest.

How: I took the top 7 character in every stat and gave that stat a point depending on its worth; I then went through the characters ability and added points using my own judgement on how good the ability was.

I also tallied in the availability of a character; this has a huge effect on overall scoring. I added the points up and the characters with the highest points are the best.

Last Note before Equations: This guide does not take into account synergy. Qui-Gon Jinn for instance has a very high boost to Jedi Speed when made team leader. So his worth as on overall character might be higher than displayed in my guide.

Final Note: This guide takes away 90% of the guesswork and the personal judgement needed to make good teams in SWGOH that is its purpose.

The other 10% is how you can blend these characters into bosses. Goos luck.

  • I hope everyone follows this guide for there arena team, please do
  • My best team so far is HK 7*(L) paired up with IG88 7*, IG 86 7*, Poe 6* and Old Daka/Poggle7*
    Constantly under top 50. The only teams who are hard are the ones with a poe who has the luck to come first or teams with extremeley high spd like Qui Gon (L), yoda, count and sid.
    Sometimes I let Daka play because sid does his AoE and as soon Poe provocates she heals everyone and they are on their turn with full health. Plus the freezing later on.

    As soon as i have poe maxed out i want to try Qui Gon (L), yoda, lumi, old ben and poe. Extremeley high speed with poe provocating and turn meter reduction and ben fpr turn meter reduction and ability block. And QuiGons ability to make an opponents Poe useless. I guess it would be a pretty hard team.
    For that i have to max out old ben and barriss first to get yoda maxed out.
    And as soon as i have this team i will give a shot to Phasma (L), FO Pilot, Kylo, Poe and Lumi/Old daka. If no one dies before Poes turn, the opponents will get destroyed in seconds. Poe provocates, and then the Pilot strikes one enemy pretty much down, Kylo gives AoE and gets Counter, phasma lowers their Spd, Old daka or Lumi either heal or strike to freeze/ability block, and before the next round poe maybe dies but phasma gives them all turnmeter and advantage (which godly boosts the tie pilot. Only bullshit is that it takes a lot of time to get the tie pilot high enough (i also couldnt fight with not maxed out droids because of their lack of health.

    Those are all teams who should be also pretty strong when AI-played.
    Poe is for me absolutely necessary cause of the turn meter and provocation (pkus now he will get to lvl 72 tomorrow which gives him another 600! of health and 40 power). No tank like him. Before i had to play with Chewie and he was absolutely shit. Everyone died before his turn. And i like the old daka because of freezing and rebirth. Only problem is that she doesnt always gets it. But sometimes my droids strike hardly. The opponents healer gets ability block, i can out all of em easily. and she even gets poe back to life and i win 5:0.

    But i imagine Qui Gon, Lumi, Yoda, Poe, Ben also to be extreme tough and even stronger as the droid team when it comes to defending when ai played
  • Another great team would be Qui Gon (L), yoda, Count, Lumi and Poe.

    But well. It takes a lot of time. First max out Ben and Barriss in Cantina to get yoda 7* and then i can farm dooku, ren and genosian (which is also a strong charac) one after the other. Max out poe so i can start to farm QGJ, and and and. I now play for 3 or 4 months and i have daka, lumi, JC, phasma, HK, Ig86, ig88, poggle maxed out and poe almost maxed out (but still 20 days just for the last star. I buy one time extra cantina energy a day to get 5 shreds for him. Before that it was 5 daka shreds a day and after poe it will be 5 qgj shreds a day)
    But i have to say i have bought absoluteley nothing yet and wont, so it is pretty "fast" if you know that i play absoluteley free without pay to win and i am constantly under top 100 now top 50 since 1 month after i started, even if some arena players were 10 lvls above me when i started (to be exactly, they were lvl 60 when i was lvl 50, then the update came, they were 70 when i was 60. Now pretty everyone was 70 and now on their way to 80. I am currently lvl 71 arena rank 30)
