Hello hivemind, what team members would the best universal smuggler squad consist of? Thinking from a broad spectrum like smuggler event, tw and so on (everything except for arena, won’t use them there). Thinking Qi’ra, Yolo, Vandor, raid han and Nest maybe?

I'd probably say Qi'ra, Yolo, Vandor Chewie, L3, Nest.

Raid Han is pretty squishy and better used on a rebel offense team.

Raid Han is pretty squishy and better used on a rebel offense team.4 characters spreading prepared plus two tanks = enough. I think either Raid Han or Nest would be acceptable as the fifth, but I think Nest is overall more versatile, which is why that was my recommendation for the "overall" squad.

Have not been impressed with yolo.Just a personal preference. I like qi'ra, nest l3, vanchew, and vetchew.Vet chew is a pretty tanky attacker and is 2nd to nest and raid han for damage.

Best ”universal” smuggler squad?

You have to have nest and big z.
Bigz is the best tank in the game Zetad.

Qira Z NEST vandor. L3

Vandors name should be...

Crap qira dies...oh no she didnt LOL.

This is maybe the best scoundrel lineup, but Big Z is not a smuggler unfortunately.

Correct. At this point smugglers arelacking a big tank....

OG Chewie inbound...

Raid han is ok but it doesnt fix the tank issue.

I3 is a light tank...taunt frequency rng dependant.

I am sure more smugglers are inbound.

Pure Smuggler: Qira Vandor Yolo L3 RHan. Vet Han works if you dont have RHan.

Scoundrel: Qira Vandor L3 Yolo Z.

Yolos zeta transforms him. Get him prepared and he assists constantly and speads speed down. His special can crit for 25k+.
