Best Bounty Hunter Team
What are the ideal BH teams for arena and/or Chewie? I know Bossk is necessary somewhere, so he’s the only one I’ve completely upgraded.

I stand by what I said:
Dengar is nearly, but not quite, mandatory.
Why do I say that? Because you can get away with much lower gear and many fewer restarts if you have Dengar to prevent R2 steal thing everyone. If you have Dengar, you can use whatever kill order works best for you. Generally Chewy first, but after that different strategies focus on Han, Lando, or Leia next. Killing Leia prevents TM gain. Killing Lando stops his nuclear AoE before it can get going, and Han is obviously the biggest threat, so as long as Lando doesn't get going, killing him first increases survivability by a lot.
I think with my squad, especially because Dengar was under geared and I didn't want him killed by AoE that I took out Lando 2nd, Han 3rd, and Leia 4th.
But of course there are also targets of opportunity where you plan one thing, but Thermal Detonators or counter-attacks leave a different toon than you expected suddenly near death and finishing them off is the right thing to do.
Having said all that, Relics have been introduced since the Chewy event was created, so you can probably do Chewy with none of the optimal toons so long as a couple of your bounty hunters are reliced.
The benefit of Dengar and Bossk is in letting you get Chewy to 7* without having to wait until you start getting high g12/g13/relic on your toons OR waiting through a bunch of restarts for perfect RNG (which will let you complete the event at a lower gear level, but for most people is intolerably frustrating. You can decide if you're one of those folks who can get murdered 500times in a row without losing hope and giving up).
So, yeah. Dengar + the 4 BH required for the Falcon + Jango (whom you get from the same node as the Hound's Tooth ship that is required for the falcon) is the most efficient way to go. IG-88 needs a little gear for the Falcon event, but Jango is probably your better 5th in most situations, including the Chewy event.
