When is EP viable in arena

Hmmm. QGJ and Phasma are both past their prime in arena. Either one depending on who you are facing. If you need a dispel, and can't get a shock on their tank before they move... keep QGJ. Otherwise he's the one I'd ditch. Might want to get a TFP, B2, or Boba to replace the other.

Yeah I'm working on Boba but he's only G8. I'm just waiting for a furnace.

He is viable once you have enough potency and he is faster than the others on your shard.

You can make a 5* viable if that's what you meant. Mine got me back into the top 20 with little effort. Could go higher but I rarely feel like grinding out all 5 battles.

7*, G11, 200+ speed, 80%+ Potency.

I dont know if I'd say Qui Gon is past his prime. There are more toons that are as good as he is now, that's the only thing that's changed.

I use him but very rarely. Mainly for his speed lead if I need to get my Yoda fast enough to outspeed a TFP. Tenacity up is pretty nice. But I'd for sure take a maxed out Boba over him as a utility toon with a dispel who can deal damage too. And as a pure dispeller give me B2 all day. That might change when I get my hands on some zeta mats though.

I use 5* G10 197 speed palp on a late march shard and can rank at least top 10 every day using him as the leadership for my empire team. At minimum I would say use him at 5* G8 150 speed, though to rank up the very top he really needs to be G10 and around 200 speed. Probably best to remove Phasma and qui gon and replace them with EP and tie fighter pilot (TFP) who is farmable in cantina 4B.

TFP will usually get first turn unless it's against a well sped up wiggs, so he can buff immunity enemy tanks before they get the chance to taunt, meaning that dispel won't even be needed unless the tank is a shoretrooper or baze malbus. TFP is also capable of large amounts of damage (mine can crit for 20k+) when every enemy is debuffed, and he is highly geared (gear 9 or higher) and well modded, not to mention his turn meter gain that can allow this to happen a lot.

Lastly if you have shoretrooper or are able to get him somehow, I would recommend building a full empire team, if not I would stick to a more hybrid team if you want to use EP
