I run EP (L), Hoth Rebel Scout, Plo Koon, Vader and STH. It's not like that interesting, but I never see HRScout or Plo Koon anywhere else in my top 50 let alone my top 20. Ive only broken into the top 10 a couple times, but I'm ok with top 20.
Really? What is the reason for this mix of characters? Seems random and doubtful that it could stay top 20.
@NicolasRage
Well honestly, although I'm on a pretty old december 2015 shard, there's not that many whales. (I'm f2p) and it's basically old meta lol. Plo is there for the dispel mostly, but I've found AOE offense down can make Wiggs tickle. He's also a lot tankier than QGJ, and can dispel more than 1 taunt in a row (if need be, like with RG taunting more than once if I can't shock him or just dual tanks). His last skill is actually very useful in some cases when Omega'd for 25% TM, and he gets 50% out of it. (The defense up is useless unless I'm trying to give Baze TM.) STH is my only well geared and modded tank with a taunt. He's pretty fast, but I usually keep my HRScout a little faster than him for a quick chance at a stun and his basic has a 40% chance to grant 25% TM to everyone individually. EP and Vader are a fairly self explanatory duo. They're all pretty well modded with speed which is really the only reason I can compete. I've been looking on replacing HRSc for a while, but I just recently got Boba to g10 and I'm still working on what mods to give him. I could give him HRScouts modset, but I'm not sure it'd be the best combo as HRScout is modded for speed, crit chance and health, whereas I have Boba modded for crit damage and crit chance as well. Both need similar gear to go from g10 to g11 so I'll probably end up getting a good combo on boba and putting him in (He'd be a bit faster than HRScout, but it'd take away from the stun and team TM gain. Honestly, my team is great on offense, but I have no doubt it's horrendous on defense. I almost always stun Wedge immediately with HRScout (He's faster than most of the Biggs on my shard. Then (Cuz it's usually a crit with his special) if it stunned wedge I'll hit Biggs to give him 100% TM and assist while Wedge is stunned. If not just shoot wedge again and grant TM to some other teammates. Then usually STH taunt, Plo AOE, EP and Vader as most would play them. Plo is honestly pretty underrated, as is HRScout. Sure they aren't Wiggs, but I make it by. I can easily beat all the Zeta Vader teams on my shard as well as the Zeta clones. Even the rex/fac/sth/rey/ep team that is still hanging in there. The Wiggs teams are usually my biggest problem if they're extremely fast, but half the time they end up just taking out Plo or Vader's protection. (If they take out EP, it's a little more difficult, but Plo and Vader are pretty sturdy, and HRScout can be a huge help.) I'm afraid that if I switch Boba in for HRScout I won't have him modded well enough.
You're right though, it is a random team, and it doesn't stay in the top 20 overnight by any means. I usually drop to around 40 overnight, but they're fast enough that even when I'm busy and can't play some days (I wasn't able to get my arena matches in anywhere near my payout while I was visiting family over winter break) the lowest I've gone was 48 even after multiple days of 0 arena fights. I honestly just think my shard isn't full of very intense players, I would certainly have a much harder time in many other shards from December 2015. Pretty sure I lucked out with an easier arena in my shard. My arena team is all about gaining TM once I get going, and hoping that EP or Vader can at least ability block or stun 1 person. (AI uses culling blade too quickly, when it's safer to ability block people with his basic.) I'm sure that people would say "Oh just use B2 in place of Plo" but then I'd be farming a whole new dispeller up to g9/10/11 and Plo can dispel with his basic, every turn. B2 just gets it every 3 turns and one can stop B2 pretty easily. Plo's basic can actually deal decent damage, his aoe hits like a feather, but Offense down, again, can be a savior. I just find Plo has more utility than B2, whereas B2 is certainly a better dispeller in many senses, but can't really add anything else to a team (imo). I'm close to getting TFP to 7*, but he still needs a furnace to get to g9 (Gotten 3 full design tech's from the past few raids but not a single furnace salvage :( ) Not sure if he would be a better option or not. I only have 40/50 shards to unlock Shore and I don't really have the crystals to spend on unlocking him as f2p and I certainly won't be able to easily gear him up to where he'd be a good alternative at 3* anytime soon.
Any suggestions on mod re-arrangements for my arena team? https://swgoh.gg/u/vertigo/collection/
Fastest TFP on my shard is 261 (most are around 240, but some are around 200/220)
Fastest Biggs on my shard is 175+25+45 (He runs ackbar lead) next best is 244(under Lando lead) compared to his 245. Most are around 215-235 speed overall.
Fastest Poe on my shard is 264 (Also the only Poe on the shard)
Fastest STH is 217 + 25 (Most fall around 220 max)
Fastest Boba is 237 (The rest of that team isn't great though) Fastest Boba on a decent team is 231.
Theres a few Jedi teams w/ QGJ Zeta and Yoda, but one of them is top 5 (He's got GK) and one of them is in my guild so I'm not really worried about that one.
Also, theres a few guys with Shore or Baze if that makes any difference. Theres only 1 guy with both Chirrut and Baze (and he rarely drops from top 5, and I know my place lol)
