3p0 + CLS Arena Tips?

I have 3p0 at 6* g10 and have yet to use him.

What is best arena team for him and how do you mod him? Speed, turn order, etc. I see a few in my arena but my Scoundrels can auto them and I dont know which teams are good or not on Offense vs JKR. My scoundrels can't beat Revan or Traya reliably and so I'm going to start using CLS on offense and put Scoundrels in for D, so I don't care if CLS can hold on D. Not sure who best 5th is: CLS 3p0 Han, Chewie +?? I have a maxed L3 and Zaalbar. My GK and OB are only g9.

Thanks in advance.
  • CLS, Han, Chewie, R2, 3PO. Han modded with CD set/triangle, offense plus. Chewie modded with either speed or CD set, CD triangle, protection plus. CLS modded with speed/tenacity set, CD triangle, tenacity plus. R2 and 3PO modded for speed, whatever sets make them the fastest.
    Required Zetas: CLS lead, Learn Control, Solo unique
    Nice to have: Chewie unique x2, R2 unique x2, CLS IBAT.
    Get when you can: 3PO special, then unique.
    R2 needs to have around the same speed as whichever Revan team you're trying to take down (so around 300 for the good teams). Opening move use Han's shot on Jolee, who will likely resist all 3 exposes, giving your whole team 15% TM. This will allow R2 to go before Revan, use smokescreen on CLS. JKR will mark CLS, who will (hopefully) resist TMR, stun and cooldown increase. 2 options next.
    1: On CLS' turn, use call to action (while targeting GK), chewie will assist to clear foresight. Use the force on GK, applies buff immunity to allow you to target whoever you want with 3PO's OMG. Control GMY, try to manage your opponents' TM with CLS/chewie, and DON'T hard kill GMY until you've used up Savior. After you have, hard kill yoda, then Jolee, then the rest of the team will crumble.
    2: Clear foresight on GMY and pop buff immunity on him. Nuke GK wih 3PO, then hard kill GMY, Jolee. This method is easier, but only works if you either haven't triggered GK's taunt with a counter attack or if GMY doesn't have foresight.
    This team is a lot more satisfying to win with against JKR than with a mirror match, but beware the fall if you leave them in on D (I went from like 90 to over 300 overnight).
  • Something I've learned as a rebels user is beating JKR isnt a guarantee, at least for me. I think I have about a 90% win rate after adding C3P0, which is up compared to the 20% before haha! I wouldn't try JTR, i recently gave it a shot and it was a total mess. ZFinn was a tad better but R2 is actually key here, and the best lineup so far is CLS/Han/Chewie/R2/3P0. Thankfully 3P0 is tanky enough that even a 6* will have more health/protection which leaves CLS under chewie guard.

    As for modding, turn order etc i feel like everyone has a different roster/mods and has their own meta depending on their shard. Just follow the basics with speed trumping all, focus on making sure CLS is under guard and if you can throw as much potency on 3P0 as possible. You'll want to trigger savior asap, so focus down GMY if possible. I try to get buff immunity on GK asap, and once savior is triggered your #1 goal is to take out Jolee. From there it's all just about opportunity, focus down the weakest enemies and you're golden. The only turn that changes from fight to fight is smoke screen, if Revan hasnt marked before R2 goes ill throw up a smoke screen keeping R2 visible.
  • Oops. I have a maxxed R2 also but he seems kinda dead weight to me. I suppose I could also run a Jedi Rey team on O?

    cls han 3po chewie r2, out of those choices


    Thanks! Suggestions on mods or Turn Order? Zetas on 3p0 or CLS lead Necessary?

    You, sir, are a God. Thank you.

    But did you mistakenly swap IBAT and learn control?
