Already tired of EP meta

I love people using EP, its an guaranteed win against him.

I gotta say - me too. I'm not the strongest player...but the only teams I take on in the Arena are EP-led Dark Side teams.

I do well against them, in oppose to other teams.

I run a Rex lead team with CLS,Raid Han,Palp and GK,just for the fun of it. :smile:

How does that do against ep? With the speed bonus to vader and EPs unique damaging rebels?

It does pretty well.My strategy is this : i always target Thrawn first (if their Thrawn has a speed of at least 235-240),then Vader goes with his AoE and Culling blade,Rex gives tenacity up,GK gives Retribution,CLS puts a blockade on their GK and Palp stuns everyone.Since my team has both tenacity up and retribution every single AoE,especially from Palp or Nihilus is just devastating for them. :)

I Actually just tried out a new squad against EP teams which has brought me from 55 to 15(no idea on defense capability yet) of CLS(L), raid Han, st Han, talzin and thrawn. Just powers through EP teams

This is so true.

Older shards are going rex. My top 20 is 8 rex (talzin, GK, thrawn, palp), 4 palp still barely hanging on, rest JTR and NS. Rex needs to be above225 speed.

This is all shard dependable. My very old shards top 30 (December 2015) is:

19 palp
6 Rey
3 talzin
2 Rex

I know everybody that hangs out near the top has Rex, because I've seen them use him in past metas. They're just choosing to not use him now

People (like myself) use Rex because he's a pretty consistent anti-meta. Running the meta is soooooooo boring :sleeping:

But running Rex all the time isn't?

I actually find a rotating meta kind of fun.

Not when you're obsessed with Captain Rex like I am :smirk:
But I was running NS for the past 3 months.

I have Rex maxxed out, but who do you use in his squad? My node is old and loaded and running Rex I haven't been able to break the top 100, let alone a good spot.

I used to run CLS, Zolo, GK, and Thrawn. Right now I'm running Rex L, zWampa, MT, Thrawn, and GK.

That exact list above is the most common Rex variant in my shard too (again, Dec 2015).

So the Sith rule the Galaxy and once again there's some balance in arena... It's the most balanced it's been in some time.

Don't worry. I'm sure less than a month after the first Traya unlock there'll be a Light Side Privilege toon free 7* unlock that'll completely negate Traya. Let the Dark Side have it's time and enjoy the balance.

I'm just happy that all the Light Side Privilege is no longer completely dominating the top 20.

Infinitely better having the Dark Side Privilege dominating, eh?

...

Yes. Yes it is. By far. The light side dominance in this game for long was stifling. There was no balance in those times. The other moment DS dominated was ended about a short month later by a free toon. At least now there is the closest simblance to balance we've seen in a long time, if ever. LS and DS squads share the spotlight. Rebels and Empire. NS and Resistance. Even some FO. So ya.... May the infinite Sith Empire rule long, and let there be continued balance in the Galaxy of Heroes.

ROLO lead, R2, CLS, Chaze, walks all over Nightmare teams. Vader AOE? Oh thank you for giving my team even more TM than your own!
