Anti-Meta Team Discussion
Current Meta
In the top ten for pvp arena here is what I have been seeing as the most common team composition in order of appearance.
1. Darth Sidious
2. Luminara
3. Darth Vader
4. Darth Maul
5. IG-88/Old Ben/Kylo/Other
Things to Counter
1. Maul AOE
2. Luminara Heal
3. Vader Culling Blade
4. Handle Debuffs
Counter Team Ideas
Here is where we need to discuss the best way to handle this team without using the exact same team minus a retarded AI(because that is just no fun).
Leader - Luke - Very High Tenacity leader skill. Helps entire team avoid debuffs. Has a stun and def down on a single target to help dispatch of Maul before he uses his AOE.
Support - Admiral Ackbar - The main reason to take Admiral Ackbar is his total debuff removal heal. If it is not the correct time to use it, he can use his turn to give someone else a full 100% turn meter.
Healer - Old Daka - A very good non- jedi healer just in case Maul's AOE does hit. Her basic attack stuns are very helpful in preventing Maul AOE and Luminara Heal.
Tank - Poe Dameron - It almost like the game makers anticipated the current meta and made Poe to tank against it. He is very fast allowing him to taunt early. His taunt when skill and gear is maxed out is very good at getting the entire team exposed helping you burst Maul down(keep in mind none of the current meta characters handle debuff removal). His Unique ability coupled with Luke leader make him almost immune to every debuff, even from Vader. Each time someone uses a debuff against him he heals up which is perfect for AOE's from Sid/Vader/Old Ben.
This last spot is am not entirely sure on... my thoughts would probably go to Sid for his heal immunity but if we are taking off the beaten path characters... a high percentage Ability Lock like Boba Fett, high single target damage from Leia/Tie Pilot to have an easier time getting rid of Maul, or a more off the wall pick in Dathca if you know your opponent is using IG-88 or IG-86.
Any other good counter ideas? The more creative the better :)
