Really like Luke - solid kit. I'm just not sure if a squad arena team has been identified for him yet or if he's supposed to help out with LS GEO TB. I'm thinking Luke, Hermit Yoda, Old Ben, Shaak and Barriss would be pretty solid. Any thoughts?

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).

Are you using JKL in squad arena?

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

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

I use Jkl/jkr/hoda/gmy/ob and can punch up and beat better modded r7 GAS and Dr with mostly g12 and a r7 gmy. The nice part is you only need to gear hoda for speed, so opens up a lot of theorycrafting. Big issue on d though, if hoda doesnt use heros arise first turn to get jkl to 100% tm you're toast.

heros arise is so underestimated right now though

Update: someone in my shard using mostly r4 jkr lead, shaakti/jkl/ob/hoda and took #1 for a couple hours today beating out 50+ better modded r7 GLs, they have him modded for attack to roughly 12k before all that offense up from hoda/heros arise/shaak ti. Think he just 1 shots everything at that point.

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.
