So I finally got jabba to relic 3 after a strenuous several weeks of gearing him up and despite his efficiency with bounty hunters I find he is not as effective as other galactic legends. His support role seems like a waste of potential as he lacks the survivability of other gls. His overdependency on his allies leaves him vulnerable when he is the last slug standing but since he was better at issuing orders in the movies than he was in a fight this is understandable. And the fact his event was very easy for being a galactic legend I can give him a decent pass. Sadly he doesnt seem to function well enough to be put to good use unless he absolutely requires his unique ability to be unlocked because I havent been able to clear the smugglers run 2 event at all and he is horrible in squad arena even though I'm not concerned about that.

Easy for a GL? He's like the best defensive GL in the game rightn now. Whatever you're on please pass that dutchie on the left hand side!

Please check our Xaereth’s faction essentials on YT, he’ll help you optimize your Jabba squad. Jabba is very good! His team does benefit a LOT from very high relic levels, especially on Jabba and Krrsantan.

Do some searching on this forum for a few strategies - it's come up often. Having Embo on the squad helps a lot to get around the taunts. Kill Range troopers first, Scout troopers second. Make sure you have ult ready going into wave 3 and use it on one of the death troopers, then kill the other death troooper ASAP. Also, I only use jabbas basic on the first wave because it helps Krrsantan survive the absurd number of attacks that he has to soak. My team is Jabba, Embo, Krr, Boushh, Lando.

Lol. Who are you comparing him to? What is the relic level of your team? Why would you not use a full Cartel team? Use: Krys, Boussh, Skiff and Embo/Boba. Synergy is the name of the game for most toons. You wouldn't say JMK is bad because he doesn't work well on a Sith team... Also, survivability is one of his best attributes, and he can force opponents to time out when he's the only one left. What did Luke say to Kylo: "Amazing, every word of what you just said was wrong" :D . I would suggest increasing his relic level, using the best Cartel teammates also high relic level, and using high end & appropriate mods if you aren't

If Chewie survives the opening he brings enormous damage as well as a buff dispel. Rush to contract by throwing bombs with Jabba, AoE with Boush and AoE with boba. Don’t ever use the ult, you place a lot more thermals with the ult fully charged. In last wave place bombs on death troopers and blow them up with Boush, you can use the ult after having placed thermals once, but you should be able to win easily without as the death troopers will be gone before your team leaves damage immunity Or you could use Embo instead of Chewie? That way he dispels on basic and you don't lose the auto-taunt from Krrsantan.

Use full Hutt Cartell team (with maybe 1 exception)
Get him to R7+, relic up his core team as well (Boush, Krrsantan, Skiff are the core)

My experience with Chewie is that there’s a small loss window in the beginning but that it is by far the fastest team comp. If you loose any toon before contract (for me that happens maybe 20% of the time) then restart, if not then the run is very fast due to Chewies very high damage output.

I havent unlocked his unique ability yet so I havent seen his true potential. He's helped me clear more of the bounty hunter assault battle event but that's about it. Maybe I'm not using him properly as I've been told that he works better with a full team of hutt cartel toons but if that's the case he is very selective in functionality.

He is incredibly solid as a GL, with a lot of side benefits too like Smugglers Run 2. You can definitively clear that event even prior to having the Ultimate ability unlocked.

I beat a guy with 8.5mil GP and all 7 GLs (jabba at G12 rest R7+) thanks to Jabba holding on D. The big dude is awesome.
