Absolutely Silly

My team. Hera, Kanan, Zeb, Ezra, Sabine. Facing off in Arena STH Lead, Vader, Tarkin, Rex, QGJ.

Opening shot was Rex with 280 speed. From this point I was not able to control a single action of my team. It was all counter attacks. Every counter triggered turn meter for the other team. 37 counter attacks later, I finally get to direct the attacks.

But Hera was killed, Sabine was one shot by Vader who had 3 turns in a row despite being stunned by Zeb. Ezra killed STH and then for some reason Vader’s choke was no longer cleansing. Vader did his signature 3 attacks. Choke, saber throw and attack reducing Ezra to nothing. Rex and Kanan were then locked in counter attacks with Rex and Tarkin until Vader’s cds expired.

I literally just watched in absolute astonishment as I had player control for all of 2 moves. My son watched and just laughed. Anyone else have a similar experience?
  • That happens sometimes. The tm and counter loops can be annoying. If you hit a resistance squad with Poe that is faster than you, you may not get a turn. Then there are infinite heal loops. I know someone that was stuck in a loop in TB for over 4 hours on auto with Biggs vs special ops trooper. He finally had to forfeit to end it because there was never going to be an end to the battle.
  • How do you rank in arena? All I see are miles and miles of CLS and General Zarriss teams. Arena is very boring at the top.

    I range into the 500s. My shard is mainly dominated by Nihilus Sith, Chaze/Wiggs/Lando and top 50 is ZCLS/Z2 teams. One Thrawn/Veers Trooper Team is in top 50 also
  • That's what happens, when you play a counter team against a taunting ST Han. At least your son had a good laugh :—)
  • You're not a true SW player until you've been devastated by the Han TM trap at least once! Welcome!
  • Dispel st han's taunt with ezra
    Also try to disable st han before he taunts
    You may have to play around with your mods to get the speed you need on various toons.

    Could you possibly be on my shard then? I run Thrawn double tanks with DT and Veers, and mine is the only team in top 50 with any Empire toon but Thrawn. :p


    That is entirely possible. If you recently changed out Veers and Thrawn for Kylo and Kylo.

    Top teams are ZCLS/Z2/ Chaze/ Zcaptain Solo. Wiggs Chaze R2 are in 20-30. Several Zboba/Nihilus/Chaze/Z2 teams in the 20-40.
  • I am working on the Thrawn, Veers, DT, ST, Krennic team. Just need the DT farm node open so I can level him past 4 star. I know Phoenix is not Arena viable, it’s a temp band aid while I fix my squads and get Resistance up to finish LS and Cantina nodes and open 5* speed mod challenge.
