Barris sucks as a leader in arena. Youll get focused alot. Arena meta now is about speed.
Once you face a QGJ lead/yoda/Anakin + 2 dps teams youll know what jedis are all about.. Theyl kill 1 or 2 of yours before you can even act.

I can already kill 1 before most attack using QGJ assist attack and I have all of those toons you mentioned. My QGJ is 1/2 way to 6*, Yoda is 5*, but I have just unlocked my Anakin. So he is 4* still sitting untouched. All my resources this week have been getting QGJ to lvl70. Anakin was my next plan. However, would he be viable as a 4* with my current Jedi team?

Current setup is 7*Lumi, almost 6*Barris, 1/2 way to 6* QGJ, 5*Yoda, and 4*Anakin? It's hard for me to put a 4* in now... Would Anakin work as a 4* with this setup?

Also, what about the leader? I should use QGJ in the arena, and Barris in the GW? I have been using Barris as my leader for the health buff. It seems he (QGJ) is really helped by the extra health he is awarded from having Barris as my lead. But would the speed buff make up for the loss in overall health, AND over 1000 health at the start of each turn? Is speed REALLY THAT valuable?

Yes speed is THAT valuable in teh arena. To put it in context, some people (including myslef) use QGJs leader ability even if hes the ONLY Jedi in the team. The goal is to kill 1 or 2 of his toons before he can act, then you seal your victory.

People also seldom use healers as theres no point. If you have a team of DPS/DPS/DPS/Suport/healer, and I kill your 2 DPS before your turn, theres a very slim chance you ca recover having only a dps/dupport and healer.

Bariss is really good in the GW though as a 3rd backup healer or against a team w/ sid and kylo anti heals.
