Thoughts on Current lineup (Phasma leader

Just wanted to know your guys thoughts on my current lineup that has helped me climb the ladder pretty quicky but wanted to know if you guys think its competitive enough to survive top 5.

All level 68 and gear level 8:

6* Phasma (leader
7* Luminari
4* Poggle (nearly 5*)
6* Geo soldier
7* Han

I know everybody on the forums love Poe vs. Han but at 7* and level 8 gear he has 11K HP which is enough to take 3-4 hits and then Luminari can heal him. But by that time, with Poggle offense up, I've already taken out 1-2 of the harder hitting toons. Also hus turn meter gains couple with Phasma turn meter gains means Geo is always nearly attacking and his special does 7K damage + assist and only a two turn cooldown. Poe has more HP but its really only one extra hit on high kevels

I also have that vould be good:
5* Qui gon
6* Fives
4* Dooku
6* Kylo
FOTP is a great choice but only 3* for now

Any help is appreciated

    They fixed the speed buff for leaders so think about farming Akbar as leader around your 7* Han and add a few more Rebels. Type synergy is going to be a factor now that the buff works first turn.

    People preferred Poe over Han by simple virtue of the fact that Poe was in the highest tier for speed and so, would go first (in turn 7). Speed buff now levels the playing field sonewhat.
    Tarkin boosts Empire, Lobot droids, QGJ Jedi (currently double what it's supposed to be but will be fixed today) and Akbar for rebels.

    You do you know that the two are one of the fastest and one of the most use toons in PvP?

    You can't just post stuff like that without showing your work.

    OP, I've been using a similar team for a while. Phasma (L) Sid, Dooku, Lumi, Daka. All 7* except Dooku, who's 6.

    I would recommend less low-DPS characters. Don't put Poggle, Han, and Phasma on the same team. Reason being, a team with more pure DPS (and/or CC) characters is going to hit you harder than you hit them, even with Poggle's offense up. By the time Phasma gets to go, you're going to have lost someone in almost every fight. Plus, with the QGJ and Yoda bandwagon on the way, all those buffs are going to be a liability. Imagine handing the enemy team offense up on the 3rd turn, or offense up and advantage on the 4th or 5th. Plus, potentially Lumi's evasion buff, as well.

    You've got a 4* Dooku, and you're one level away from being able to farm him in Cantina. I recommend doing that if you're not overly committed to getting Yoda, then work on him and maybe one more heavy hitter, and benching Poggle and either Han or Phasma.


    Yea honestly after a few days in arena with my lineup, I am able to stay in the top 20 and maybe snipe a 7-10 finish. I realized that the libeup doesnt work because of freakin Poe. I refuse to jump on the bandwagon but since he attacks first ( will be second after my GS is 7*) he gives turn meter gain that lets his toons go first then its 4v5 and poggle dead before I do anything.

    The lineup that I am going to farm is the one posted on the forum's as a counter to Poe. It was: Phasma (L), Han, Dooku, Lumi and FOO. Should take 2-3 weeks of farming but its the only viable optional now to get top 5 which all consists of Poe

    I like your lineup but Daka is too inconsistent in my opinion. If I may ask, where do you rank in the arena?

    Always at least top 20, about 40% of the time in the top 10. I finished #1 the first night they let us see other people's teams, with only 50 crystals spent on Arena refreshes. I'm rank 37 right now, but haven't battled at all yet today, to give you an idea of how I fare on defense.

    Also, Poe isn't dominant at all any more. He's still really really good, but the meta doesn't form around him any more. IMO, that lineup still needs more hard DPS. For example, GS over FOO would hit harder, and his speed would be more helpful if your main goal were to make a Poe hit squad.

    Really, FOO's main use is in a FO team with FOTP and Kylo. You kinda need to go all in on that if you want to use him, given how many good alternatives there are that do more damage.

    Btw, here's the SWGOH list of attributes. Sort by speed (descending) to see everyone that beats Poe to first turn, and plan accordingly: http://www.swgohcantina.com/character-max-stats/

    Remember, anyone that can have a speed leader like QGJ could also potentially have their relevant characters' speed boosted by up to 23, and it works on the first turn now.


    Thanks for all the insight. Really appreciate the help. Seeing that Dooku is one if the fastest in the game and could stun Poe, hes a must. I love Qui Gon bur not too hot on Jedi teams since there are counters for them. I love Rey so much but sucks that she isn't farmable.

    If I would like to stick to Han, long term, what do you think of a Rebel team with Ackbar as leader? Would consist of Han, Ackbar, Luke, Bigs and Luminari/Dooku or Geo would round up the roster. Leia is a great choice but currently only have her at 4* and Im not willing to pay more for the game

    Update. Just finished one on my server today with one refresh. Since I have Geo full gear, I have been ranking top 5 consistently. Catch is that I was attacking from 4-6pm since I was pushed back all the way to 28. I destroyed the number olayer who had a Jedi team. The only team that gives me problem are maxed out Droid teams with HK as lead and Poe and Poggle. I usually skip this team. Only problem is this lineup is shitty on defense and you get pushed back till mid 20's
