Hi everybody, I'm looking for advice. I'm wondering if anybody has recently switched out their Dooku lead on arena teams, why you did so, and your level of success.I spend maybe $20/month so nothing major, but I'm at the point where I'm getting top-10 tier7 raid rewards and need to start making some decisions on where to bring my team. I'm currently running g8 Dooku lead, g10 GS, g10 QGJ, g8 Phasma, g8 Daka. I have good fortune on offense (like everybody else) but have trouble staying in top 100.I have 22 toons I can bring from g8 to g9 soon, so I have lots of options. I was thinking of ditching Dooku lead and going back to Phasma and adding 5s as an immediate switch, just to try something different.Anybody out there think I should leave Dooku in the dust and slowly move to other characters? Thanks in advance for your replies!

Old ben is a better evasion leader — especialy on defense.On offense you could switch to.Phasma as leader and replace Dooku for a taunter or another attacker. If usinG RG as tank you will have a great many stuns on offense (with Daka, Phasma lead and 2 assist callers). Having multiple stunners doesn't do much good on.defense, though.

Yah Phasma is mainly an offensive leader, I think Dooku is better on defense.

I finish top 5 using Dooku, ST Han, QGJ, Daka, GSUse all your attacks at the last hour before arena ends. I find it hard to believe you're having difficulty staying in the top 100. I'm on a NOV server btw.Old Ben is the best leader imo. I'm farming him after I get a few more mods. The team I'll be using once finished is: Old Ben, RG, Leia, Rey, QGJDooku is still great, but get a lot of protection on him and critical chance with mods. That will make him more valuable. Because of where you are at, I would stop working on Daka. She is great but your raid gear would be used better elsewhere. You need a tank, this is a big reason why you're having probs. Always have Dooku or Old Ben be the last leader you use in arena because that's your best bet for defense. Old Ben lead, Tank, and Rey. Those should be your focus. A lot of talk here about Rey being nerfed, but that is just because of the recent change with armor. She is still the number one character to have period. look up the website swgoh.gg the best resource. check what the top people overall across servers are using. this will be a big help

I switched dooku lead recently because I think dodge is not really tht much a problem recently. Dunno defences seem to dodge less lately so I rather had a more sturdy toon.

Anybody here ditched their Dooku lead in arena recently?

Old Ben is not the best leader, but he is second best. The best right now is Anakin.

You definitely need a tank. Replacing Daka with RG will also maintain that stun ability.

I ditched the old bugger months ago in favour of genuine squad synergy. Got bored of meta chasing and went with Rebel scum

Evasion leader is good, but you need a tank. You have Daka and 2 assistant heroes, so Phasma lead is more usefull. Try this and replace Dooku with RG.

Phasma and Anakin are much better leaders than dodge leaders.
