Are you using JKL in squad arena?

it really depends on where you shard is at on the META scale, but yes he is a solid lead.

seeing him as a lead or teammate on GL Rey teams.

Since the best part of his lead is useless against GLs, I really struggle to see how he could be relevant as a lead until you're far enough down that you aren't seeing GLs.

He's great under Rey though.

JKR lead, JKL, Bastila/Shaaq, Hermit Yoda, and OldBen/GAS can beat GLs in Arena with the right strategy

Since SLKR mirrors are annoying, JKR+JKL vs SLKR is my go to matchup and also a good practice for GAC.

I’ve been using Luke and his synergies, other than KiAdi. It’s been pretty effective and hope it will jump a good chunk more on Saturday or slightly earlier when GAS finally hits 7* and then relic 7. Unfortunately my focus on Legend Luke prevents me from further relicing the Yodas temporarily (unless one shows up in part 3, needing a higher level).

I don't use JKL as the leader. But he makes a fine addition to Revan's team! ;) The team to beat SLKR has already been mentioned. For beating Rey it's Luke Nukem (you'll find it on youtube) which is JKR, JKL, Bastila, Gas & Hoda. Needs specific modding, doesn't really hold on defence, but it works.

I'm a rarity in my shard as I've passed on farming current GLs however I did get JKL the 1st time out. I run 4 versions to counter GAS, Drevan, GL Rey & GL Kylo. Core team is JKR(L), JKL, GAS, Hoda. The 5th rotates: Raid Han for GAS, GK for Drevan, Thrawn for Rey & GBA for SLKR. Against GAS & Drevan its a 99% win rate unless its horrible rng. GL Rey is 75%+ win rate especially vs full resistance, lower vs mixed. SLKR is the toughest at about 50/50. Those are ultimate GLs, non ultimate is easy. JKL is really the engine that makes it work with his Jedi Will. Always call Gas as the assist on special #1 so they both gain it. That coupled with masters training and they are 1-shot countering SLKR teams. Rey teams require more patience & strategy but I go for rey 1st & usually take out 1 other before she goes down. Also only my GAS & JKL are R7 all others are R2-5.

Yeah, I see him with Rey fairly often. Sometimes with JKR lead, Rey, JKL, etc.

JKR (L), Rey, JKL, GK, GAS

Agreed. Can take out an SLKR team without Rey’s ult with JKL. Rey, GAS, JKL, GK, JKR.
