Anyone using Hoth Scout and getting 500 gems?

Great post guys.

My worries as some of you mentioned, are that I will draw great attention to the top 20 guys and they would love to beat me because no one else is running AA or Scout in my server.
Poor Iris

Exactly this, Scout draws attention, the meta is something that doenst draw attention...

Completely off topic but I thought I might have fought you in GW earlier Liam. Do you run a Jedi team that has igd in it?

Unfortunately no that wasnt me, my ign is now AckbarMeta!

That happens to me when I put Lando at lead, everybody challenges, lol

I'm trying a mix of my preferred toons and meta ones in squad. Or won't be any fun playing only with meta toons.

I have HRS at 7*, gear 9. He is part of my B team in GW, that is Rebel team. Does great work, no doubt in that.

Recently I used him with QGJ, 5s in Raid. Man he works like a charm. 5s reduced speed, QGJ reduces turn meter and HRS provides extra turn meter. Although my team was Lumi lead, but they easily managed to do high damage.

I use HRS and am typically top-10, often top-5. The team I run is:
Ackbar G9 lead
HRS G9
Old Ben G9
STH G9
Rey G9

I usually fall into the 20's overnight, so it's not hard to get back up to the top 5. I do have a number of #1 finishes. It runs pretty neat -- HRS goes first to do damage, Rey does some damage, then STH taunts, making Old Ben go next, and he does his thing to make the opponent hit STH less, and then TM takes over. I usually only lose STH. But HRS is great -- his stun is useful, his TM on basic is great, especially with Ackbar leader, and when he gets a special crit- basic crit, it's beautiful. Usually around 10-12k damage.

My server (January) has a lot more ackbar leaders though, typically 3-4 in the top 20, so I don't get hit as often because people are used to seeing them.

I've tried several combinations of a rebel squad, but so far, qgj seems a must to dispel taunt. Since rebels don't have high health, otherwise u will loose at least a whole turn to bring down RG for example, while opponent bring u down.

Top of my Nov. shard has a continuous rebel presence. Akbar/HRS/STHan/Lando/Phasma. When HRS basic TM up for the team hits they crush everything. The Lando+Phasma+Akbar kills all the Rey/Leia/IG damage dealers while completely ignoring RG.

They're less effective at defense but can beat literally any similarly geared team.

Having fought him dozens of times I can say that HRS is the lynchpin. When his (40% Omega'd) basic TM triggers he wins every time. Between advantage up and AA's tactical advantage Lando is spitting his AoE continuously and he hits for upwards of 11k crits regularly at G10/11.

I have lando at 7*, but until they "fix" that aeo doesn't trigger when opponent team has taunt up, is not the best choice, unfortunately.

Other problem i see when Han has ackbar lead, u must not taunt in the first turn, otherwise qgj might dispell right away ( supose the other team has him, qgj is in 90% teams of my sever.).

I'm farming luke at cantina shards and HRS at shipments. So far luke seems pretty good, strong special. Would say i'm excited to level him to max without droid caller mk5.
But i don't seen him at arena, have u tried him?

Yes, as well as defense down for two turns on crit. Plus his basic gives him TM on crit.

Don't invest in Luke, endgame he is awful.

Even at G11 he is awful

I cant think of many effective squads where Luke would be better than Scout let alone Leia
