Balancing Arena Team with Development

Not an easy answer to this....when I fully committed to Arena (Bastila) I reached 12th as a “Minnow” - 4 Zetas on my team. I then diverted to building BHs and JTR requirements and I have gradual slid....I still can make top 50 each day but not 20 anymore.
Part of this will be spenders having better Bastila teams and part will be the resurgence of NSisters....
Here’s my team:

With my roster are there any obvious quick fixes for me to hold on defence better? I still can beat most teams ahead of me...
Thanks!
  • The obvious answers are gear 12 and more speed. Replacing kanann with hermit Yoda would be a nice boost too.

    my general rule of thumb is to allways prioritize arena. It will result in a higher crystal income and because of that you'll be able to progress faster, thus also able to work on side projects for raids and such more often without hurting your arena performance.
    As for quick fixes, i can't see any obvious ones. Hermit yoda will definately improve your team, but he isn't exactly a quick farm. My leaderboard is like 95% traya teams, but by the looks of it you're not going to unlock her any time soon either. To be honest, i don't know what the best course of action is for players in your position. New-ish players have it rough, being able to go after every legendary event at once. For me they were spaced out so i could always just go after the most recent one.
    Lastly, if you're able to win on offense (semi) consistandly it might be worth refreshing your attempts to conquer a perminate place amongst the top ranks and join a shard chat. Some players don't like shard chats, but at the end of the day they're here to stay and make life easier because you'll get sniped less often.


    Yea, I can still win 5 in a row vs NS/zEP/BHs above me & fortunately only 1 Traya Team in my Arena. I’m not getting Hoda soon, GK will be a few months before unlocked and geared - nearly unlocked.
    I’m considering these options:
    1) Slice all my Arena purple mods to Gold (Not 6* yet because that limits who can use them) which would “nudge” them up and let me still focus on getting BHs to G11+ for Chewie. Continue Vet Farm.
    2) With Vets that aren’t yet quite at 6* accept it’s unlikely I’ll get JTR “THIS TIME” and instead hard farm Aayla to replace Kanan —> however I’m not sure that will help in the slightest for Arena Defence.
    3) Try and make my G12 CLS into a “mini-jedi” by Zetaing Learn Control. Running 4 Speed/CD mods with Tenacity mods x2 & CD Triangle, Potency Cross, and Protection Circle + hard Farm a multitool. This would give 130% bonus Tenacity and decent Potency.......it just kind of sucks to waste Bastilas leadership!
    4) Zeta Kanan - somewhat of a boost but limited....

    Any of these work?
