For those trying to run Chewy in Arena, how is that going? My wookiee is gear VIII at the moment so I haven't been able to test him. The team I've seen is CLS, Raid Han, R2D2, L3-37 paired with Chewy.I'm thinking of throwing all my gear to get this team going assuming it is arena worthy.

He does drop, but that's to be expected since everyone wants to try to beat it. I beat it with my Palp, Sion, Traya, Nihilus, Nest team, but it seemed to be very strong on defense. It did tons of dmg to me, but fortunately I managed to beat it in the end. I'm sure he wins everything on offense though. I think it will become the new meta.Will change to rebels too, once my Chewie gets to g10.People are like “Shiny new whalebacca huh? time to show how much hes worth it”

I have been trying to use chewie for past couple days. I am testing versus completely maxed teams. I’m talking all g12 pieces and mostly 6e mods on the key chars. The best setup I have found is the cls/chewie/han/r2/l3. It defends very successfully vs the maxed EP lead/traya teams but traya leads if they are maxed are really tough to beat on offense especially the nest/trooper combo and would just walk through on defense.The problem is chewie is getting killed early even on offense by traya. Traya almost always pops him early. My g12 chewie is only short one of he weaker g12 pieces he is 4/5. I can’t see anything at this point helping prevent that.So in the end a team that cannot atleast give a little bit of a fight to traya lead isn’t worth much in arena considering most of our shards are filled with those teams.I am frustrated with the game changer videos for sure this time around. In my opinion chewie was made out/advertised to be a lot stronger and more “game changing” then he actually is. Just another TW/TB character it seems.

And not even by getting hits, but just by taking turns! Traya is OP, too OP. She shouldn’t be able to destroy everyone by just standing there looking annoying

Running zzzcls, zhan, zzchewie, zzr2, zzob and its great. I am blasting through all sith teams in record time. After taking 1st last night and not touching arena for 23 hours I started my climb to first from 11th. So far it's holding better than my previous traya lead team. As an added bonus its quite fun, I might actually put arena mods on the whole team.

I havent run in arena yet, but testing a no leader:

Raid Han, Young Han, Chewie, Vandor, L3. Zaalbar might eventually replace Vandor.

Once young Han gets prepared, you can have triple attacks and it does pretty crazy damage.

Cool, I had pretty much the same idea except I was planning to run Zaalbar instead of young han and put crit damage and chance on him. Have you done much more testing with it yet? Don't actually own raid han yet so can't test myself

I am running CLS(L), Raid Han, OG Chewy, Thrawn, and R2-D2. I have gone from mid 200's into 93rd with my attempts so far. It was going not so well until I zeta'd Chewy to give health and protection to guarded allies. I moded the toons so that CLS is the weakest (lowest health + protection) but he is really fast so every time him and Han use an ability Chewy assists and feeds massive health and protection to those 2.

I ran this last night and did well without moving my arena mods. Did ok. How does it hold on D?

Good stuff. Since I know you are a scoundrel fan, have your tried Young Han in place of Thrawn or L3? Once he gets prepared there are a lot of triple hits, but not sure if extra damage is worth it over tank or fracture.

I don’t have traya yet. I use Chewie with Jedi and he is an upgrade over Ezra. https://youtu.be/aA-c-JtGVrY (This is before I added g12+ gear to Chewie. Now I have him with 90k HP and 5100 offense. He rips right through Sith Trooper, Nihilus and sion. He might die, but he takes at least one first allowingmy Jedi to finish the job)

I’ve tried a lot of variations... Young Han can certainly be nasty...

But he’s much better suited to a Q led team... he really shines with Q and Vandor and some other scoundrels to make things interesting (I’m looking at you big Z)

The only viable exchange in this team is to use Vandor Chewie instead of Thrawn vs Bastilla (if you just want to click auto and win)

Otherwise you just detract from their overall effectiveness... from my experience at least ?

(Hopefully I’m wrong and something else I haven’t even thought of is way better)

So, it’s a little different, but I’ve been having fun with JTR, BB8, R2, Han and Chewie. Chewie guards Han and BB8, who is at 272 speed so he takes a lot of turns with his tm gain from secret intel and jtr’s Lead.

For the longest time I was running a now antiquated lineup of zzEP (lead) zzVader zNihilus zThrawn and GK. As I have no Traya, it was the best I could do, but was gradually getting shut out of even the top 50.

The advent of Legendary Chewie saw me shift my arena mods to a new team: zCLS zHan zzR2 zChewie and GK, all G12. Once again, I've broken into the top 50 and have even come within clawing distance of bothering the top 10 for the first time ever. The key for me is taking out Traya ASAP to prevent he her from isolating Chewie while also avoiding Traya teams which include Nest. It usually ends with CLS and one or more allies finishing Sion off with stuns and high damage attacks.

So maybe not a world beater, but MUCH more effective than what I had.

I've been able to get as high as 13 in arena (first time ever) using zCLS (L), zHan, zNest, zzR2, zzChewie

EP lead teams can be beat up to 110k GP (depending on speed)... Traya lead teams up to around 104k... But this is a fun team when you can get Nest to daze everybody before health steals, etc...
