Arena squad advice

I am on a 2016 dec shard, and i managed to climb over 500 but since then theres always been a struggle (600-350 bouncing around there) to get higher, so im going to switch up my team but i dont really know what to, atm im running sthan,wiggs,palp,ezra ive been trying to farm up a little bit of chaze and got r2 to 6*(i also got thrawn at 6* possibly 7* once next time he comes around)recently. If it makes a difference my shard has a lot of ep and vader leads, with very few darth maul leads (ofc most of them zeta'd)
Any advice is appreciated

  • You would probably do better with a dark side team. EP, Vader, TFP, Thrawn and Tarkin do well with good mods. If you would rather hang on to your current base, you could switch in Thrawn instead of Ezra.

    Disregarding which team, you choose, you can improve by moving your mods around. The filtering option on swgoh.gg is a great tool.

  • First of all thank you for your advice, second of all i'd like to know how high you think i can reach with either of those teams, aswell if theres any other teams you'd recommend for me, since i dont really like ep lead

    p.s is there any way we can get death trooper in there somewhere, i always liked that toon but never had a reason to farm it
  • No EP lead? And you don't have Rex? And you are past the point, where your Phoenix rock? You could gear up R2 and Leia, give them 2—3 zetas to create full rebel team (Wiggs, R2 Leia and ST Han). You could climb with that team, but not to top ranks and not as high as with the EP lead team, I mentioned earlier.

    Death trooper? Do you have him? Not according to your link. But sure, Thrawn lead empire team could include DT and Krennic. I can't tell you, how high that team would climb, because the META could have changed more than once before you will have DT/Krennic ready for the arena.
  • Well i mean not having something doesnt mean i can't farm it, im patient enough i'd say. Also are you sure youre approaching this with the right attitude, you seem a little bit annoyed.
  • Hi guild mate! DT/Krennic is a long farm... If you don't like EP lead the only viable option atm is Rex lead I guess. Or you can stick to rebels but this won't be as effective. May I share my roster? https://swgoh.gg/u/switcheroo/

    My shard is much younger, but I'm currently working on R2D2 and Rex. I might also farm Leia and switch things around to see what holds best on defense. I'm usually in and out of the top 100.
  • Wedge (lead), Biggs, R2, STHan, Leia.

    And don't neglect Leia. In that squad, with good gear and mods she is an absolute killing machine.


    Or, Empire?

    EP (lead), Vader, Thrawn, RG and Moff.


    Two very solid squads. I think the first one is more fun.
  • I completely forgot about this sorry. If you peeps still want to know my situation/give me advice. After i had a few discussions about it with some of my guild mates they convinced me palp lead is fun (i tried it and it didnt look too bad) although most of that probably comes from sion and the team they recommended and i liked actually was: Palp(L),Sion,Thrawn,Vader,Nihilus (They told me its number 1 in the meta report thing aswell so thats a plus i guess)
    Coastal thank you for that advice but wiggs have lost their charm somehow for me although i always wanted to try leia

    p.s i liked= seemed fun (since i dont have nihilus yet but he always seemed fun with his annihilation thing)
