Arena questions. Time to retire Lando?

I am almost level 72. Every team on my shard is Chaze in some form. With leaders varying from Nihilus, Wedge, Jyn.. its frustrating and I refuse to pay for Baze. I usually stay in top 20 but I'd like to get to that next tier and stay top ten or higher.

My current team is Wedge (L), Biggs, STH, Boba and Lando. All g8. My Boba is 185 speed. STH 182. I always go first.

Current gameplay is: Boba debuff Baze. STH Taunt. Try to 1 shot chirrut. Sometimes works. Sometimes doesn't. Usually works if Wedge goes before Biggs. Leading me to..

Question 1: my Wedge is geared to go before my Biggs. I feel this is necessary to soften/apply defense down on chirrut before Biggs ability. My issue is that Biggs sometimes goes first, despite Wedge having more speed. Is it 50/50 who will go first once everyone has 100% TM? Otherwise I cannot explain this.

2) if I can't 1-shot chirrut, I feel Lando is useless. He's low HP, Baze gets taunt again and then I lose 80% of the time. Thus, Lando AoE is kind of worthless. I'm working on getting Biggs/Wedge to g9, and maybe this will help and keeping Lando would be smart. Anyway, at this point.. Do I replace Lando? My Leia is g7, few levels behind. I have Yoda (but probably worthless vs Baze mass debuff). Do I wait for EP? Would Pao be useful? (Offense up, defense down, multiple attacks...).

Thanks for the advice.
  • Yeah it's time for Lando to go. A really good counter to Chirrut/Baze is Boba but you got that. RNG is to blame for the whole speed thing, it just happens like that sometimes because of the synergy. If you're having trouble with every team like that's maybe look into a Vader/Palp led team with TFP, Boba, and a tank. Palpatine's shock is phenomenal against Chaze.
  • Interesting info. Thanks guys. Honestly, I really don't want to farm Chaze. It seems like that'd be such a boring mirror fight over and over. I don't want to join that bandwagon. I'll probably be able to 7 star EP when he comes around again but that's a ways off.

    TFP/Vader is a potential but I feel like I'd have to shift my entire focus to another team now. And then I think I'd fall behind.

    I don't know who would serve me well in the mean time. Maybe just removing LC and adding TFP? Losing more rebel synergy though. I have QGJ which is interesting. Another ally assist and a debuff. His basic attack may be too weak though.

    Another thought: is my rebel team going to be strong enough and translate once I start getting zetas?
  • Another note: I do have B2 Battle Droid unlocked. I don't have him geared but maybe replace Lando with this guy?

    I have Phasma geared a bit too. Could get to g8 easily.

    Most recent arena:

    Vs Chaze/wiggs/Boba

    My Boba starts -> remove taunt on Baze
    Baze counters Boba. Inflicts speed down
    STH taunts, all at 100% TM (except Boba obv)
    Biggs goes before Wedge.

    Biggs speed 128
    Wedge speed 140

    I feel like this is a big issue for my team currently. Not getting that first Wedge shot off can hurt a lot.

    When everyone reaches 100% TM, it's a coinflip. If you want to try to better ensure you OHKO Chirrut, switch to a Boba lead. +50% crit damage is huge on the Biggs assist where everyone is going to crit.

    If you stay in top 20, you don't need to buy Baze. Simply farm his hard node and buy his shards from shipments. You earn enough crystals for 3 shards a day and 1 energy refresh.

    Did you try taking out enemy Baze first? Or did you try replacing Lando with EP? His shock works wonders against opponents buffs.

    Yes, if multiple toons have full TM it's random who gets to take the next turn disregarding toon speed.

  • Throw in Sun Fac , B2, or even QGJ if you have trouble with Baze. Boba could ability block while QGJ applies offense up to wedge and biggs on the dispel. Then BOOM. If you don't have EP I actually think QGJ would work really well with those rebels / boba.

    Also there are a ton of rebel teams in my shard who don't have baze or chirrut and finish first for their payout.
  • I'll fix around my mods on Wedge then. No point in speeding for nothing.

    I just geared QGJ pretty easily so I'll give that a try. I like that idea. If he goes before Biggs -> buff removal/offense up. If he goes after -> QGJ's assist and try to burn down Baze. This also opens up Boba to ability block turn 1 instead of buff removal.

    I'll work on EP once his event is around again.
