CHARACTER STRATEGIES - Poe Dameron, Finn and Rey

I would go Han before Chewie

Today I again got rank 3 in level 59/60 server without poe. I am ftp. Will good not farming him till as late as possible. I have credits to farm him but want to see if any new toon are added in cantina shipment.

I have both Luke and Finn at 4 stars, Luke is lvl 60 4/6 VII while Finn is lvl 57 3/6 VII. They hit about the same 1.3-1.6k uncrit. But I have heard so many good things about Luke and so many bad things about Finn, so weird.

I have Finn at 4 stars. Underwhelming. Too slow. Speed and/or damage is what the game is as of now. I don't get why a slow poke wastes a turn to self buff?!? As for his stun, there are other faster stunners around with more utility.

I'd do him as a side project or if I was experimenting with a resistance squad, otherwise he's just not worth it as the game stands now.

Welcome to, "Who's Poe Goes First!"

Hello everyone and welcome, in this game you get to go into the arena and take a 50/50 shot that your Poe will be able to get his turn reduction off before the opponents! Because after that, Expose with DPS toons is so OP, if you lose the Poe roll, you lose the match! Oh you have high heaths toons and DMG mitigation you say? That is no matter, you won't do enough damage to win in the end when whatever DPS you bring in will be dead before your taunt. Not to mention this Poe ability is actually a taunt! Something most tanks have as a single ability. So you have to hit him and not his entourage of DPS.

This game is broken. Disney wanted there new movie characters to be played more and they are broken as a result. That, or the devs are 25ish year old and broke what could be a fantastic game. They wanted to create defense in arena so we got Poe (you shouldn't do it in cheep ways, like this, and boosting AI proc rates, or allowing AI offense up overide of offense down but not for the player. Get creative with new synergies or make non taunt Tanks and healers AI and abilities useful! Don't cheat because we're better than you) but instead they just made what we all know is a dice roll based game, a blatant coin flip game.

Team diversity is broken and After that you get GW, useless after you get your shards except for some ability mats. Challenges that give you mats, that I have literally hundreds of and no use for, and whatever that thing is for training droids or credits.

Oh but thanks for raising the level cap so you could try and balance some broken toons. but all it did was slow down synergy development and stunted seeing group diversity amongst players. now to stay strong, people will level the same non sync, DPS heavy team and it will win everytime, as long as there Poe goes first.

You can fix this. Fix the damage output and make tanks and healers viable again. This will make for longer battles. Annoying in Arena defense. So, Take away the battle timer in arena. The only reason you need it is so people don't sit in a first place battle and land the killing blow before the award reset. So fix that. Your reward for arena should be your Highest Rank in arena from server reset at midnight until 6 pm local time. More people will be happier with their rank and you will get less complaints in general, as well as taking the need for the timer out. Changing spots in the arena is not a bad thing, it was great about this game, siting in first in the arena makes fighting in the arena kinda pointless anyway. The threat of falling everyday is more reason for login after all (cha-Ching, right?). Also will allow players to play arena when they want instead of just at 4pm to 6pm like now if the player want to finish high. Just make the rank jumps from 50-1 only a 5 jump max. More movement and battles, but less total rank movement for players to potentially dropped significantly, all while rewarding active players. Lastly fix Poe. Leave Expose, it's OP but survivable. When an opponents whole team gets to go before you there is very little shot, you need to make his turn reduction a 15-25% chance, or get rid of it, OR simply make Poe Slow! As for resitsting it, I have used a Jedi team with Aayla as leader for tenacity, and it makes no difference.

As of right now, it looks like there is a "Best" team, or toon, in Poe and any DPS, and that makes for a boring and annoying game.

And yes I use Poe and DPS just like every top 10 player, and am ranked top 5, but mostly 1st on my server everyday and hardly ever fall.

TLDR Poe is easy fix, instead of auto turn meter reduction on all characters have it be 'x' percentage per character. This way it's random as to whom he turn meter reduces and balances the scale. I don't know what % that would be but like 50-75% chance of turn meter per enemy.

Good thoughts

Whoever came up with this stupid idea of a tank with I- win button must be really clueless. Seriously?? Why Chewbacca doesn't taunt first so i wont have to lose anyone on my team? Why he doesn't reduce enemy team Turn meter too so all my chars will attack first? And why he doesn't expose all team so he can boost my dps? And all of them why not in 1 button???
Why none tank is like this and ONLY POE??
Enough of this shit....
I used to play a strategic team in squad arena with ability blocks and stuns, beating closely teams with 3000+ score higher than my team and now i lose to people with 2k less score than me??
Are you developers serious?? Today i lost 3/5 games because the usual teams i was beating decided to get an undergeared Poe....
What's the strategy required in this game anymore?? Before this Poe Madness if you didn't want a tank to taunt, you could ability block it, if you wanted to disable a healer you have to ability block it. There was strategy required where to send your low dmg Dooku to stun so you can outplay a better geared team.
Now the only thing that matters is to get Poe and high damage characters. I can't swap targets to ability block, stun, slow and play smart cause i have to use all those low damabe ablities to kill Poe while 2/5 of my team is dead... I can't use any tank in arena without being Poe, because when his turn will come to taunt, i would already have 2 characters dead.
Fix this mess already....

If the Poe was undergeared he wouldn't have went first and caused you the tears you so freely want to flow in front of the forum goers. If an undergeared Poe went before all your guys it simply means your guys are geared even worse. Work on your team and quit crying.

I switched to a team with no Poe and no taunt and still beat them regularly. It isn't Poe's fault. It is yours for being too unimaginative to come with a solution to the problem. Why should you have to work to figure out a solution when you can just paddle your boohoo canoe down the river of tears you are crying.

This post may seem mean, but I am so tired of the same threads over and over about people wanting someone nerfed because they can't figure out a way past them. Poe isn't an I-win button. Your lack of critical thinking and desire to put the work in to farm a team to get past him is the fail.

I challenge you to mention me 1 no-Poe team that is so good.
Or not just 1, but as many teams you like. And i ll remove 1 random char from these teams and add Poe in their place. And i ll prove to you that the new team is twice better....
Go on.. i'm waiting
