I just got married Saturday and going on honeymoon today. I doubt I'll have any WiFi to play this game on. So until late Friday night, I may not be on again. Having an arena team that ranks inside the top 20 fairly often on a year old server, I would like to set a team that would hold rank best possible, so as not to return and find myself at rank 500. My usual arena team is all maxed:Boba (L)KyloAnakinVentressDakaI also have a few other characters maxed or very close:ST HanYodaIG88AhsokaI spent my zeta on Ventress passive, so she pretty good and perhaps my best, or at least a tough secret weapon. But what combination of these characters would you least want to attack? Who would hold rank best for a 5 day absence?

Why use him when Ventress does the same exact thing (AoE debuff), but hits WAY harder and is way faster, going first in almost every battle and making Baze/Shore Trooper obsolete.I've never understood why Ventress and Daka aren't more popular.

B2 has a 50% chance to gain 100% TM when any other char in your team gets damaged. In offense, you will see it happen rarely, but in defense it happens quite often. So he gains alot of extra turns and interrupts (annoys) the attackers gameplay + debuffs his char + add buff immunity to them. He is really, really, annoying to fight, thats why! ;)Asajj rocks somehow, no question, but she cant take many hits, nor can she 1-hit-kill anyone and her stun procs nearly never. Daka was meta some months ago, at least in GW ... but somewhen around when Palpatine was added to the game, she became obsolete.

Who to set in arena before vacation?

i'd just continue playing on your carriers data plan. unless your going to be at her side 24/7 you'll have some time to play. maybe not as much as you do now but still some time.

generally when i'm on vacation i do things i enjoy. that includes this game so i can't see being on ANY vacation where i couldn't play the games i enjoy.

Wish it were an option, but I have no data plan. I play exclusively on home WiFi.

The main reason for my asking opinions is because I have Yoda and IG88 at gear 10, but have everything ready to go to gear 11. I just haven't done it yet because I was waiting and seeing what options would be available later on. But if it would help me hold rank while I'm gone to go ahead and gear them up, I would.

4X speed may have made attrition teams inviable, but I think a Chewie(L), K2S0, Fives, Chirrut, Barriss team would still be practically impossible to kill personally. The defense up from Chewie and the hots from Chirrut basically guarantee K2S0 is permataunting. Him and fives to counter attack aoeers. Chewie is basically there for his leader ability and high health. With 2 healing equalizations, 2 cleanses, and auto hots, having high hp characters like these with high defense (thanks Chewie) would be damn near impossible to do any lasting damage to.

That being said, what kind of a hotel doesn't have WiFi these days?

Really? My Zader team would have that team for breakfast. Exceedingly easy team to beat.

I wasn't talking zetas myself, but if we were zeta chirrut and/or Barriss provide enough extra healing to overcome Vader's zeta. hots counteract dots, Chirrut hots heal for a lot zeta'd. Barriss makes people heal when crit, K2S0, Chirrut and Fives are counterattacking Vader for much after his force crush that hit them for very little thanks to Chewie's defense up and K2S0's offense down, and will tick for nothing because they have as many hots as dots. Meanwhile everybody will be forced to attack K2S0 while he has defense up and they have offense down and he's getting a hot and counterattacking them every time your toons go.

You can talk about buff immunity from TFP or daze from maul, or some other debuff from some random character, but between Barriss's auto cleanse and Chirruts group cleanse, no debuff will last other than dots, and those only because of Zeta Vader. Dots, however, aren't going to do any damage thanks to Chirrut's auto hots. Big hit crits from abilities based on debuffs will trigger Barriss's auto heal and Chirrut's aurto hots which will keep the targeted toon alive until Barriss or Chirrut can healing equalization and bring everybody back to full again.

Exceedingly easy team to beat? I think you aren't grasping all the ramifications of the group comp I posted. Good luck taking down just K2S0.
