Wow, I'm loving that FOST is included on here. What has sparked this recent interest, are these teams you run or teams you have come up against?
These are the two teams the ti whale on my shard was deciding between. He decided Tarkin lead because he saw how well I was holding with it. He hasn't moved since he switched to it from Thrawn DT DN GK ShT yesterday.
The Rex squad mentioned is better when your mods don't outclass your oppenent.
I think Tarkin is the top end meta, and Rex FOST is for those whose mods aren't better than the rest of their shard by a pretty good amount
Do you have many vader leads on you arena shard with comparable mods to yours?"Syth_Hunter;c-1174451" wrote:

I'm running this team with success against all but vader lead.
I was just about to ask it looks good vs triple cleanse but against teams like zader, Tarkin, Thrawn and Resistance how would it hold up? It seems like one could pile dots or expose with ease and a lead like Tarkin would keep your toons from using their specials and eventually without any damage that squad would get blown up by DT and DN."Olddumper;c-1174387" wrote:

Okay, I agree about Rex, just thought it was interesting that two posts in a row mentioned FOST. I run FO, so I think he's great, I just don't see him mentioned as a top toon very often. I guess I was just wondering why this Rex comp as opposed to the standard Triple cleanse, or Thrawn variation. Just for the chance to call an assist from Thrawn or Nihilus and potentially AB/Stun someone or decrease Nihilus force drain?"tharduskafka;c-1174468" wrote:

Yeah it's about getting to force drain quicker. TM gain from both Rex and FOST along with assist from FOST and GK. I've never seen the squad in action but a lot of whales are running it."Olddumper;c-1174483" wrote:

Hmm, interesting. I don't have Rex, but I have tried various comps with FOST for this reason. Nihilus, speeding up Palps, getting Daze from DT. I guess other folks also caught on."Olddumper;c-1174454" wrote:

I dont have any issues with resistance teams or thrawn teams. Tarkin with a fast DT makes it to RNG for me. As long as as my thrawn at 278 goes first tarkin doesn't last. I switch to vader lead which destroys other Vader's and fast tarkin's for me.
