Who are the top 10 Characters

My list would be:
1. Royal Guard- Best Tank in the game, stun on basic attack. Seems to be a must have going forward to protect any number of other players.
2. Rey- Does the most damage in the game and has high speed
3. Luminara- Still the best healer and puts out good damage. She seems to be a must have for GW, Cantina, and light side battles. Also plays well in Arena
4. Daka- Sub par healer but her revive requires that she is targeted first. Good health and stun on basic.
5. GS- Fast high damage character with assist.
6. Fives- Tough character that has good counter. Causes problems for teams at the end of arena battle if team does not have a healer. (I have seen him take down GS, IG-86, and Jin when it was 3vs1)
7. Barris- While her damage is poor she is very tough and heals through immunity. She makes GW and Yoda challenge so much easier. Good leadership skill for healing.
8. Dooku- Leadership skill of evade and offense up is very strong. While he does not hit hard his 100% counter allows to be a good offensive character. Also, great vs. Jedi
9. ST Han- Probably the 2nd best Tank w/Taunt. The Turn Meter manipulation works great for most team. Maybe should be higher on list but I do not have him so have not got to experiment with him. (Only reason I consider him 2nd best take is that RG taunt happens automatically and does not need to use a turn to use).
10. I was torn between Kylo and Yoda here but I am going with Yoda. The best support character in my opinion. Basic attack always gives foresight and battle meditation wards off all debuffs (stuns and healing immunity). While AOE is weak on damage stealing buffs with potential to give to allies (with foresight) can change a battle. Due to is basic attack really is helpful vs. counter attacks too. Maybe Yoda does not do anything amazing but always seems helpful on any team.

P.S. Kylo may be better if you have a team that supports him better but because I was looking at individual characters Yoda edged him out.

Also don't have any Chromium characters maxed out to know but Leia may be on this list as well. I would like the hear who your top 10 on and why.

    His attack is too weak, his potency is still too low, and I think that his heal immunity debuff has actually been devalued because of Protection. People use him because he's a good Arena shipment character, and has uses (his self-heal is great for GW if you don't have a deep bench of healers).

    probably because he used to be the best toon from arena shipments, so everyone has him.
  • The only reason I did not have QGJ in my first list is because when I see him in GW and Arena I find him not difficult to deal with. On my ladder I am seeing less and less of QGJ. The teams i seem to face in arena are Luminara, daka, Fives, Dooku, ST Han, RG, GS, and Rey. There seems to be a trend on my ladder of Tank, Healer, 3 Cannons too.

    But It appears that my experience in arena is not a typical one and that is why I was asking the question.

    Everyone's opinion on the top 10 will differ; in general this thread is a good list of top toons.
  • Top 5 ARENA:

    1) QGJ - L ability, assist, dispel + O up
    2) RG - auto taunt + stun
    3) Dooku - L ability
    4) Rey - DPS
    5) GS - DPS

    Other notables (unranked b/c more dependant on synergies): Daka, Yoda, Lumi, Poggle, Fives, Phasma, Leia
  • In no particular order.


  • RG - Auto taunt when you need, stun / speed down on basic and a massive health pool. He's amazing.
  • Rey - Broken multi-attacker with built-in Evasion and crazy fast. She can kill a squishy all by herself and requires at least two chars to kill her.
  • GS - Crazy speed, crazy damage, crazy high health. All he's missing is perma-stealth.
  • Daka - Best healer in the game. Stun (double-stun!) on basic. Auto-res, heal + res, good health, good speed.
  • QGJ - Crazy fast, makes Jedi crazy fast. Hits like a truck, eats taunts and makes the team hit harder. Relatively low HP to make up for it.
  • Dooku - Crazy fast, stun (double-stun!) special, 100% counter-attack, double-attack basic, arguably game-breaking Leader ability, even stronger vs Jedi teams (meta)
  • Phasma - Great HP, great turn manipulation, great Leader ability when it works.
  • ST Han - Definitely second-best tank, hands down. Taunt forever, making the rest of your team take lots of free turns while the opponent tries to wear you down.
  • Poggle - Insane speed, Offense Up team buff, decent HP, Ability Block basic, especially bad with GS / droids.
  • Fives - Great HP, great counter chance, double-attack basic, decent damage. Really hard to take down and hurts your opponent while they do it.


    There are some others that are close to the list, certainly viable... Just not the best. These are all characters that I take note of (especially in Lead for some of them) when I start a battle.
  • Swap dooky to #1, as he is literally the only way you lose at high end arena on my shard from RNG.
