Boba lead

New to the game and need to start grinding towards a solid team for arena. I'm far enough along now that trying different squad ideas instead of concentrating on one is really starting to kick my ass in arena. Here's where I think I'm headed but wanted to run it by you guys to see if there's any huge holes in the plan. Would like your thoughts on if this would work on defense as well?

Idea is a double taunt team. Boba and lando can work around taunts and IG-88 for burst and to shut down healing. I'm worried about speed and cleanse. Im hoping StHan can make up for speed but if its a big issue how viable would it be to swap lando for lead instead in this team?

Thanks in advance for your help e1

Boba (lead)
StHan
RG
IG-88
Lando

Ps. Only gems I buy are the 100/day ones to rebuy cantina energy so trying to pick characters I can farm. RG is gonna be a pita but it seems worth it in the long run

    I'd sub sun fac in for one of the tanks. He's ftp now that he's in guild shipments. If you're running STH get as much speed on him as possible. Around 220 speed will be enough for a newer shard.

    Thanks 6371. I'm going to acquire sun fac shards whenever possible but unfortunately for now StHan is easily farmable and what I have to work with. Problem is I've also been in a dead guild so haven't been able to buy much from guild store. Currently am looking for a more active one running lower level raids I can join so I can start acquiring guild credits

    Thanks again

    I don't use IG-88 in the arena. He gets targeted early and doesn't have enough health to survive. He dies before getting to take a turn. Lando is starting to fall away because he can get stunned, slowed, or ability blocked and can die before getting a 2x AoE attack done. A very fast Boba Fett getting in his ability block AoE can really help. He can also ignore taunts, or debuff a taunt.

    Having two taunters won't always help if your opponent removes your taunt, or if they have a powerful AoE. Sun Fac will clear the STH or RG taunt and then everyone will go after your attackers, who won't have the health to survive for long.

    I'd also recommend Sun Fac, since he can remove buffs, sometimes automatically on a counter. You will want to clear taunts and all those Rebels with a green 2x floating over their heads.
