Can't break 200 barrier in arena

mistake. Please delete second post

The reason why you did not land into 200 is that your team is slow without Poe. Just get QGJ to 6 stars and lead Ashoka and Yoda. The other two can be Biggs and GS (or 86).

You need the ewoks team . Then you will finish in top 200

Thank you all
I tried Jedi teams and got slaughtered.
I will get 86 should take little time with 15 shards a day
Will focus on dooku (over 10 shards a day ) and qgj at I believe 7.5 shards a day. Hopefully that would do the trick as you guys suggested.

Thanks again

So I understand correctly I need to run qgj dooku 86 lumi and yoda. Am I understanding this right ?

It's hard to mould a team from what you have, the main synergy available to you at the moment is probably Jedi.

You have several top tier characters such as Lumi, Sid, Phasma, for my money those should be the spine of your team for now.

I would try Sid lead, Phasma, Lumi, Yoda and either Ventress or Ahsoka from your current available troops. I would go with Ventress.

Phasma lead without any other First Order guys is weak these days, but Phasma herself is still top tier.

Sid's lead buffs crit chance and crit damage, very useful in the current meta.

Lumi is solid in almost any team.

Ventress is a lot more dangerous than many people realise. Her buff strip and heal can turn a fight. A lot of players will actively avoid Ventress, she can neuter droid teams effectively, so it makes her more valuable in holding rank.

Ahsoka is not great without QGJ as leader, but her recent buff, although still broken, does make her viable as a tier 2 character. Worth considering but as I say, not top tier.

Unfortunately you would have benefitted from focus while unlocking and gearing characters. Still, you should be able to crack top 200 if you learn your team and learn how they stack up against the teams you are fighting.

As others have said, QGJ lead is pretty much the meta right now as he boosts Yoda massively, Dooku is the anti Jedi character to neutralise QGJ. These would be two great characters to get geared and levelled but beware, there is a new update coming which will shake up the meta, so currently no one knows for sure if any of these characters will still be as good as they are now come April.

But if everyone runs the same compos then it's boring

Thank you old tallen for that wonderful input and taking the time for me. Truly appreciated

Very true, but the reason people run these teams is they are good and effective. This was the point of the thread, to crack top 200, and there is a reason the top meta teams retain the top ranks on most servers.

If you want variety try a Nightsister team, ewok team, droid team, empire team, rebel team, scoundrel team....there are players fielding these teams and doing well with them. Thing is, not many will hold top ranks in arena, or if they do they will struggle to retain them ( excluding droid teams, which are very competitive at the moment).

No worries, your welcome.

Your best options are between these two squads
Jedi speed squad
QGJ (L) yoda lumi Ahsoka Dooku RG or
Dooku (L) yoda RG lumi Sid IG-86.
These teams will be good enough to crack top 20- you just need gear
