Why no Hux lead? ?

I don't think OP knows Hux lead is better

Because it's not.

So my question is.

Even if Kylo's is better.

Wouldn't Hux be better lead than Phasma in the other squad?

Or is he just forced into the Kylo squad due to how mechanics of the characters work?

Most Efficiently Farmed = KylU, Phasma, FOO, FOX, FOTP

Phasma leads cause u got 2 FO squads, viable for attack

Hux lead is pretty good, but the +30 speed and TM boost on crits that KRU gives, plus a bit of healing, is pretty hard to compete with. Hux is probably only "better" if you're facing a squad that doesn't have a speed boost on their lead, and even then it's probably more like a tie.

You seem to be mixing his unique with his leader.

Leader gives +50% basic damage by default, and 100% counter chance, +50% crit damage as well as completelt denying the enemy any counter at all while he has Dominance on which is stupidly easy to put back on if Hux gets critted

I'm not sure which part you think I was "confusing." I know what Hux lead does and I stand by the assertion that it's probably about tied with KRU.

Why no Hux lead? ?

Tell me how KRUs lead is better than

50% basic damage

No enemy counter attacks

100% ally counter attacks

+50% crit damage.

And btw dominance is so easily recovered using FOO TM swap combo.

I’m not going into details about pros and cons vs current arena teams, but what’s your FO look like? Do you use them in arena?

I currently have R7 KRU, R7 FOX, R2 Kylo, the rest G12 besides Hux and ST of course. I’ve tried Hux lead, and he’s not making dents in the teams I’m fighting near the 200 arena barrier. KRU can at least give everyone health and protection throughout the battle, not to mention 30 speed. Sure, you might kill one enemy fast with the mass assist, big deal against teams like NS, Revan, GG who all benefit by deaths or even nullify the death in some way. It’s better to have longer sustain than burst right now with FO. This might not be the case with new characters, but currently KRU is unmatched in the FO lead.

So my question is.

Even if Kylo's is better.

Wouldn't Hux be better lead than Phasma in the other squad?

Or is he just forced into the Kylo squad due to how mechanics of the characters work?

I used Phasma lead in the marquee too! Thought it was fun with FOSiT. No idea if it works well where it matters, but the marquee was a hoot.
Pew pew pew.

I like the idea of Marching Orders --> Devious Scheme back and forth, but is there a possible reason for it? At first I thought of Fist Order Storm Trooper, but he only calls assists when HE uses an ability. Similarly First Order Sith Trooper only assists on a crit or stun.

Too bad ping-ponging turns wouldn't actually accomplish anything (except maybe some heals under a KRU lead).

Shouldn't Hux have a mole on his face?

Hux lead is pretty good, but the +30 speed and TM boost on crits that KRU gives, plus a bit of healing, is pretty hard to compete with. Hux is probably only "better" if you're facing a squad that doesn't have a speed boost on their lead, and even then it's probably more like a tie.
