All Jedi squad for PVP

Hey guys, first time posting!
I've been playing this game since beginning of January. Jedis have always been my fav. part of the SW universe so my goal in the game is to build the ultimate Jedi squad. I've been experimenting with the Jedis for awhile so thought I'd share my 2 cents and hear what you guys think.
For those who don't want to read:
TL;DR Who should I take out of my A team for Yoda, and what do you guys think are the best Jedi PVP squad (without considering availability such as P2P, slow farm) Would also love to hear about what you guys think about Jedis in general!
My current Jedi rosters are these (lvl. 65): A Team: QGJ 7* Gear 8 (L for arena)
Mace Windu 7* Gear 7
Lumi 7* Gear 7
Kit Fisto 7* Gear 7
Aayla 7* Gear 7
My bench has
JC 7* Gear 8 (great for GW but never use him in arena)
Eeth Koth 6*
Yoda 5* Gear 7 (looking to 7 star him this event)
Barriss 5*
Old Ben 5*
Ahsoka 6*
Ima Gun Di 5*
Anakin 5*
Plol Koon 6*
I don't bother with JKG
Unfortunately top 20 on my shard is full of Sid and Dooku, but My team has been able to hold in top 10 on my shard consistently. Nobody can defend on my shard so the only way is to snipe 1st right before your payout time, which I've been able to do. I'd also like to add that my shard is a bit whale heavy with 7* GG droid team and 7* Mauls.
The key of and all Jedi team in current meta of course is the QGJ lead synergy, with all members of the team able to utilize the speed boost (only thing that really matters in this PVP meta). Most of the time I'm able to OTKO the other team's fastest glass cannon, except in some Poe droid team's I would need a bit of luck.
I know Mace's rework didn't really do him justice at all (there are so many threads talking about it, so I won't go into it here, and the dev pretty much said Mace wouldn't get a rework anytime soon), but currently he's bugged so his basic attacks always give him turn meter boosts (he still sucks lol). The good thing about this is if QGJ first turn assist calls Mace, he will instantly have full turn meter from attacking (I'll be rly pissed if they fix this bug without first buffing him up, don't do it guys!), thus making him move right after QGJ, and if you're lucky to get a Shatterpoint on the right target, the fight is pretty much wrapped up. Even if Shatterpoint fails (like all the time), you still just made the slowest toon on the team move second. Another obvious synergy is QGJ calls Aayla who can stun or call another Jedi to attack, or both. If Aayla calls Mace, Mace again has full turn meter, or Kit who can get a bonus attack thus pretty much secure a 5-4 advantage.
Since the team is not super fast even with QGJ lead, there's possibility that you don't kill anyone in your first turn and Poe taunts, but I think it only happened to me once where I wasn't able to kill IG 88 before the taunt goes off. The best way to fix this is to include Yoda in my squad, which hopefully I can get to 7* after a million tries. With QGJ lead he will pretty much always move first.
Now a question for you guys, who should I take out for Yoda? The obvious choice is Mace, he is probably the weakest in the squad, but it's Mace Windu! Another choice is Kit, Kit doesn't hit very hard at all but he works really well with QGJ and Aayla assist calls. Kit and Mace are always tanky so the AI might waste their turns attacking them. Lumi is currently one of the strongest Jedis with good dmg and ability block, so I think it's unwise to take her out even though the heal is mostly irreverent thanks to Sid. Who do you guys think I should take out? I've also been farming the other Jedis, namely Anakin, Tano, and Ima Gun Di. Eventually I'll have them 7*, and maybe Tano will be great after the buff (I doubt it, look at Mace).
Which five Jedi do you guys think make up the best PVP squad?
  • Your already on right track. Replace Mace with Yoda. His Battle Meditation will solve Sith problems. No team is good on defense anyway. Keep farming others and have fun mixing it up!!
  • I like that Idea with mace, I didnt know about his bug, I too was so disappointed with Mace, I remember watching the old original clone wars cartoon(not the new animated one) Mace was literally like a god in that show, sooo powerful, and now here? :(
    Im Currently running Lead- Qui Gon Jinn, Barris, Luminara, GS, and Sidious. I needed barris to get past the Heal immunity, and I traded Ashoka for GS because hes easier to farm, deals way more damage, has much more health, and makes taking out dooku and sidious, a lot easier.

    If I was P2P, with a yoda team, I would certainly use Qui Gon jinn(lead) due to current meta, then Aayla, lumi, yoda, barris. Possibly switch barris for Kit fisto, or gundi. I would like to use Anakin, hes got a powerful AOE but the offense up buff is kinda useless when Im running Qui Gon jinn, not mention you only get it on a killing blow, which is not always practical.

    I agree, too bad, I really liked Mace and thought "devastating damage if left unchecked" would fix him :(

    I don't like Barriss at all except GW where she really shines. I feel QGJ always calls her to assist, which does basically no dmg. Heals are also sort of out of place in the current meta, since by the time you get the chance to heal, you might already be playing 3-5.

    There's only one full Jedi team in my servers top 50 but he's consistently in the top 5. It's not hard to beat him but everyone is easy to beat on defense. But I'd imagine it's great on offense, and fun. He runs your lineup but yoda in place of mace and I think he has ahsoka in for kit but it's a good team


    For sure, Mace feels underpowered even with the turn meter bug. Ahsoka is so slow right now, slower than Mace I think. So I'll wait to see how they "fix" her... Kit isn't really good at anything, but he does ok at everything :smiley:
