Best First Order team

@Vendi1983 Yes I totally agree that for arena it is required to go against a Palp team. Tho, for Raids, 80% of GW and NS, it is not a requirement

I've been running FO in arena for a year and a half now and break top 50 in an old shard filled with revans and trayas

You want ZZKRU, Executioner, FOO, ZFOST or Kylo Ren (Depends if you need more tankiness or more TM gain, beside, Kylo is good to pop Jedis foresight) and Thrawn.

Thrawn is mandatory to suppress Yoda/Sion/JTR, but if you want full FO you'll go for both Kylo and FOST.

Pump up your FOO speed, Marching order into FOST, FOST taunt giving tm to the whole team and from there you can stun (KRU), Fracture and get your team going.

Note that against palp lead team at equal mods you'll loose most of the time, target jedis, nightsisters, JTR and rebels without chewie.

No. Although in P3 of STR (non heroic) it's nice having him countering 100% and eating damage on the opening moves.

The spreading of tenacity down is awesome.

Thoughts on replacing Kylo with SF TIE Pilot? I feel like the directed assist and Speed Up for everyone might actually be better, especially with KRU and Stormtrooper both taunting and keeping everyone out of harm's way. Personally when I fight FO teams I tend to just CC Kylo and leave him for last to avoid his offense stacking, so I imagine others probably do the same.

I'm running this now, except replace Executioner with Stormtrooper. I find FOTP to be "eh." Even with his zeta, if there's no taunt up for any length of time he seems to fold like wet cardboard. He does well in raids, so I'm not sorry I geared him up or anything, but he doesn't seem to do that great in PVP.

I'm also aware this might just be a mod issue - I didn't play from the time mods were released until a few months ago, so I tend to struggle just because everyone is running 280+ speed and my absolute fastest guys are at 240ish.

SFTP is better the Kylo vs most teams (besides vs Resistance expoes or NS plague, hes super tanky vs them, especially with zeta). however, the upgrading is pretty small. they both have the job of dealing some damage and doing supporting (Tm gain mostly). SFTP is bit better, but if you have already g11+ kylo, i wouldnt invest.
generally, the zKRU, zFost, FoX, Kylo, FOO team can kill any team besides Revan. i personally killed Traya, CLS, JTR and Bast teams with my FO - which aren't arena modded. its not meta, its offensive team with poor defense capabilities against meta teams (but good ones in tw :) )

and @CoastalJames that team is wrong, simply. Fost even when non zetad >>> Fotp even when zetad. i want to say that the balance for FO is 2 tanks 2 supp 1 attacker, but truth is that its just KRU,Fost,FoX,Kylo/SFTP,FOO are the best toons in the faction, and removing one will significantly hurt the team.

I don't run a full FO team on Arena but I've been using KRU for a while now and I consider him to be one of my best toons. Even without his leader ability active, he is still very resistant. I've put tenacity on him (121%) and I heal him with Thrawn (he also heals himself with his special) so he is a very hard nut to crack and don't get debuffed much. I was considering replacing him by Sion under my EP lead but he still is better and stays alive much longer.
