T5, T6, & Heroic Scores

I just started running JTR but with Finn in place of RT. I can score 1.3-1.8 million in T6 as-is, but I have a few questions to you guys that seem to have it figured out:

1 - Zeta order beyond JTR lead and RWTP (both done)?

2 - Ideal mods/speeds?

What I have so far:
JTR G8 - CD/CC, health circle, potency cross, CC triangle, +90 speed
Rey G9 - CD/CC, health circle, offense cross, CD triangle, about +60 so far with a few slices left
BB8 G11 - speed/tenacity, health circle, protection cross (ABC squad), and defense triangle ( only for the speed boost). What's the best option for his and R2's triangles? CC? +92
R2 G8 - speed/CC, health circle, potency cross, protection triangle. +83
Finn G9 - 2x potency, CC. cC triangle and potency cross. +70

3 - Finn seems ok for now but is there anyone else that's better until my RT is starred up?

1. For zetas:
Inspirational Presence > RWTP > Number Crunch > Self-Preservation Protocol = Combat Analysis > Insight > Virtuous Protector > Focused Strikes (if running Stick Rey)

2. Speed is great, but more important is turn order. To start it should be:

BB-8 (CDT) -> RJT (Mind Trick) -> R2 (Smokescreen BB-8)

The most important thing is to land speed down on DN with RJT on that first Mind Trick, if you don’t, restart. The goal is to get Illuminated Destiny off before DN takes a turn. It should be very easy at T5/T6. After that, it’s up to you to determine what turn order works best. If you find your RJT being a touch slow and just missing that chance to apply Mind Trick (i.e. speed down) before DN is hit by someone else, thus increasing his tenacity, bump her speed up a little. I’ve gotten great scores in HSTR with RJT at 225 and 250 speeds.

For Mods, my general strategy is this:

Everyone (unless otherwise stated): speed arrow, protection circle)

RJT: CD/Potency (potency cross, CD triangle)
BB-8: Speed/whatever you got with good speed (offense cross, CC triangle)
R2: Speed/Potency (offense cross (think Number Crunch), CC triangle)
RT: CD/CC (offense arrow, offense cross, CD triangle)
Stick Rey: CD/CC: (offense cross, CD triangle)
C-3PO: All health or Speed/Health: (potency cross, protection triangle)

I’ve included my squads below so you can see how my setup looks.

3. Finn is ok for now, but RT is your primary damage dealer on the team. Stick Rey is close, but with C-3PO, who do you remove? Also, the post-rework Finn may replace RT, we’ll have to see, but his new kit seems like he is going to smash raid bosses. Looking forward to trying him out.

One thing I should mention is gear. The G12 health steal pieces are very important to the droids since they have low to no health steal going into G12. Put those pieces on them first and with Self-Preservation Protocol, their survivability goes up drastically.

Last thing... I find posting percentages far more helpful than raw numbers. My best runs below.

HSTR P1 (w/ Stick Rey) - 15.3%


HSTR P1 (w/ C-3PO)- 20.8%
