Arena Squad (Overall roster advice) - HELP (Level 73 F2P)

Long time lurker first time poster...Sorry for the long post...F2P

Been playing since November. I've been struggling with Arena for some time now. After reading the forums I've been purposefully trying to keep my arena team under 21K power to keep Galaxy War beatable. My current Arena team is about 20,200 power: Phasma (L) 6* G8, Kylo 5* G7, Dooku 4* G8, Daka 6* G8, Poggle 5*G7.

It's hit or miss. If I get get Poggle off & then Phasma I can wreck most teams up to 23K. Most of the time I can crack 500 (which is where I'm happy to be with payout). I've been as low as 296 before. My biggest problem is I drop significantly in the rankings over night and it's a pain to fight back down because loosing 1 or 2 and I miss 100 tokens of my payout.

I have been stockpiling for a while now. I have 150/100 shards for Phasma, 85/85 for Kylo, 85/85 for Poggle, 101/100 for Daka and 112/65 for Dooku. I can also take most of them up a gear level or two.

My Galaxy war A team is: Luminara 7*G8, Sid 7* G8, Daka 6*G8, Phasma 6*G8 and I sub in Ventress 6*G8 (She can be upgraded to 7* as well 101/100) or JC 5*G8. I haven't been upgrading anyone bc right now clearing GW each day seems more important. If I hit a wall then I could easily upgrade quite a few characters. I have 27.7M credits.

I have 39 characters. Looking for advice (I know that the meta may change tomorrow but any advice right now would be appreciated). Who should I use for Arena?

Beyond what I listed above I have:
GS 6*G8
Boba 5*G7 (87/85 to promote to 6*)
FOST 4*G7
RG 4*G7 (34/65)
Talia 4*G6
IG-86 5*G6 (24/85)
Vader 4*G6 (28/65)
FOTP 3*G6 (18/30)
Poe 3*G6
Luke 3*G5 (12/30)
Magma Trooper 4*G4 (65/65)
RP 4*G4
Savage 4*G4 (67/65)
Elder 3*G4 (20/30)
Ahsoka 3*G5 (26/30)
Qui-Gon 3*G4 (24/30)

Waiting incase I get a Bronzium pull
STHan (105/50) - Ready to activate
Barriss (81/80) - Ready to activate
Datcha (80/80) - Ready to activate

Farming
Rey (47/80)

Canon fodder:
Snowtrooper 2*G6 (20/25)
Chewie 3*G5
IG-100 2*G6
Clone Sergent
Jawa
Jedi Guardian
Biggs
Mob Enforcer
Scout
Nightsister Initiate
Lando

Thank you very much in advance for any advice. I'm all ears.
  • @bck_xlash - Will do with Ventress. She is kinda like a dump truck in the sense that she's slow to get rolling but once she does she can do some decent damage.

    Yes she MAY hit even harder after the update today. The problem with Ventress is and always has been her terrible AI. On defense she uses her dispel first, which makes her pretty much unplayable in arena. If you already have her 6* though I'd prob still go ahead and finish her out. She is still useful in DS missions and GW. Plus there are not a lot of great choices in arena shipments anyway.

    He is using ventress in GW where she is awesome. upgrading her will make his GW battles easier now that his arena squad power is about to go up.
  • Not entire sure about the update. Some if it has been harder (yesterday's challenge against Veers/Tarkin) some the same or easier (Arena last night). GW will take a different strategy. I upgraded Dooku (star & abilities), Ventress (abilities), Poe (abilities/level - my light side characters are way behind my dark side), Royal Guard (level/abilities), Qui-Gon (Star), Ahsoka (star), Magmatrooper (Star) - Spent about 80 purple mats and ~2M credits.
  • @ghostfeather - Thank you so much for the invite. Your Guild sounds great. I'm currently in a hardcore casual guild but if that changes I will let you know. I'm not F2P anymore though... bought a $10.99 21 day crystal pack lol. Good luck!
