Already tired of EP meta

This is so true.

Don't tell me the odds! I pushed all my zetas plus g12 gear on my empire/sith team, but it's most about who goes first. I fell like playing the Poe meta again, horrible!

On my arena people use g10/11 Palp/Vader and still beat other empire maxed toons, just because they have +130/140 speed mods.

That's because mods strategy is ridiculous since the begginning. For example, should be more speed means less protection, more crit damage means less health and so on....

But unfortunately is too late for that now.

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.

Who would you use if you didnt have Wampa? I've some iN guys using Rex L, MT, Sion, DN, GK.

That squad you mentioned is solid.

Do y'all really think rex lead with 4 other S tier tppms is more fun than palp L? Man rex lead has been on arenas since 2016. You would think folks would be more tired of rex.

A.men.

Used to enjoy my investment in wicket and my ewoks.

Was fun battling JTR / CLS / Nightsisters.

Didn't always win, and dropped like a rock on defense but it was fun.

New empire rework means my furry dudes don't even get a turn.

Sigh

Even if you run rebels, which are extremely weak to the average EP team, if you stun EP with han and Thrawn with a fast R2 and then kill Palps and taunt Thrawn's fracture while you kill vader you'll easily win (tarkin usually suicides against CLS teams).

Earlier I posted my current team, CLS(L), raid han, st Han, talzin and thrawn and it tears through pretty much all EP led teams

Seems legit. You can ride all the way to 1 with it? Seems like it would be hard to get sth taunt off with all the shock/fracture/sion dispel

My guess would be fast Thrawn - he can give TM to anyone with his special.

Have to say my Dec2016 (ish) shard is pretty well balanced. EP/DV, JLS, NS, CLS, REX etc. Be interesting to see if the Bounty Hunters get a look in post their re-work.

I am hoping they make TD not a debuff and thus not resistable nor cleanable.

That would help a lot in Sith Raid scores but make Tenacity even more useless than it already was.

Nothing can help that now.
The dev team showed how useless tenacity is unless it is used in crazy high amounts with the release of the sith raid.

Many are going to start unlocking traya who will make TD's pretty much useless since they are a debuff.
Now I don't know what the rework has in store for bh but they currently have a reliance on TD landing and exploding.

I would like to see the bh rework be able to kill that witch. Keep some diversity on the arena boards.

Tenacity is EXTREMELY useful in the Sith raid. Its kinda its "thing" along with TM gain. The Magmatrooper team is easy example. But I toyed with tenacity cross and there is a notable difference against Nihilus.

But my super seekrit oober team is: Farmboy, Raid Han, CLS, Leia, Chirrut or Visas. Normally could not use this team against Nihilus because of multi attack and counters, but with Farmboys tenacity lead they resist the defense down about 80+ percent of the time, so you can use multi-attackers. With g12 CLS and everyine else g9 and Visas at g8 with 4 stars. Only IBAT zeta gets 900-1.1M in T1. Add a tenacity cross and they will resist almost 100%. Tenacity baby. ;)

My sooper dooper theery and all-in team is: Tenacity cross on everyone for 100% resist: zzFarmboy, Pao, zRHan, Sabine and zVisas (or Chirrut). Farmboy zeta gives 50% tenacity and Advantage on resist so your team will have 100% crit 100% of the time, Offense up 100% of the time (basics refresh Paos cooldown) 4 Multi and counter attackers, full health 100% of the time from 60% Visas zeta assists - all against a Nihilus with zero armor from Sabines Darksaber. My Pao is not leveled yet but i think this will be a top 5 T1 team. All because of Tenacity. ;)

Kidding aside, but the above teams are solid. I havent tested on Heroic yet but I think it will work the same.

Rex Rex Rex... You either die as anti-meta or you live long enough to become the meta

There are other teams that are running just fine in the sea of palp.

I forget to revert my arena team, leave palp team on defence. Surprisingly, i just fall to rank #10 overnight. RNG must be on my palp side :flushed:

The forum asked for this for like a year. Apparently they forget what it looked like the first time around?
