Been running 4 Clones and RG on a shard where people have been maxed for a while. Recently I've started slipping from the low 30s to the upper 50s... Do you think this is a product of my gear(Rex is 11 rest are low 9 or 10 echo is 8) or am I being targeted for running an out of meta team without Rey in it? I've had great success on offence with them, I purposely target droid teams since Rex lead ruins them and they do well vs Rey RG team ups too.. Where do you guys think I'm falling behind in rank, also do note I'm happy with my clone sqaud and am looking to make minimal changes so subbing out my whole sqaud I'd like to avoid.The character I question most is Echo, I don't feel like he pulls his weight, a this an undergeared issue or are there better alternatives such as swapping to Anakin led clones with RG leaving out echo... Thoughts welcome!

Hes undergeared, he become viable at gear 10

Anakin lead with an omega in his leader is amazing. It gives your clones and Anakin +30% offense and +20% critical damage.With the correct team surrounding him, Anakin becomes General Skywalker. I only wish there were more f2p clones than 5s and clone sergeant

Its not a product of anything its RANDOM team matching. Players are just choosing whoever they like or the highest rated team.. the game randomly selects teams with similar power to the player, so it could be you are getting randomly profiled.Clones are good, I run them myself but your defense is controlled by AI not you, there isn't going to be ANYTHING you can do to keep your rank from dropping.This week it dropped 30 pts, next week it may only drop 10.. its ALL random.And I *LOVE* Echo albeit mine is G10, but at G9 he hits hard and still does around 1700 damage, not bad, considering he gives turn meter to a random character under 50%.. AND he can attack at any time.. Echo is part of my 'A' Arena Team.. I get to low 20's with him, if I refresh I can be in the teens but I don't want to put any more effort or waste more credits \ crystal on this game until things get fixed or patched.

I ran all 4 clones + RG. Clones were mostly omega'd , all 7* and geared as much as possible. They fared well but their damage was poor. I swapped to Anakin lead and tried the clones w/ him. I ended up adding jedi and keeping only Rex. Anakin (L)AaylaQGJRexRGThis is the team I finally settled on. Was difficult to drop a maxed 5's for sure. Especially 1 w/ +30% offense and +20% crit dmg. But, he wasn't pulling bis weight. This team has 3x the damage output my clones had, can strip taunt, cleanse, has 2 ways to give the squad offense up. I have yet to be knocked below #15 on a Nov. shard and finish 1st or 2nd at payout daily.

@Clash2Far, do you speed boost Cody? I haven't seen many Cody's, but when I have, I invariably can just kill him in the first turn with Rey and Leia. He just seems a little too squishy.

@Durrun I actually flew over that the other days was quite interesting. I agree Sarge's damage is unreachable by any other clone and that's a strong case. Also I do believe Cody needs a little tweak to really be worth his cost. In my shard there aren't many two tank teams but they used to not be a problem since one usually is RG so you just hit the other taunt until RG auto-taunts and then dispel both with Echo.

Btw did Echo get a damage buff on his Grenade? swgoh.gg now shows his AoE as second highest damage even higher than Ani

I want to say no I think it's always been that high, what maybe happened is he got a gear piece or 2 rearranged in his build with the potency changes, happened to a few toons. But ya it's pretty nice now, can hit 5 digits with offence up. Keep me updated on how codys doing. I think enough of us have complained that he will probably get SOMETHING to help his case but if you'd like to add your voice to the discussion you can find it in Feedback-Characters. Let us know where he falls short in your eyes if you're so inclined. Keep me updated how your team runs I love fellow clone squad players :)

Okay, now I want to get those guys modded even more lol

Sure I'll keep you updated and will also check out the feedback on Cody, but even at g8 probably not really playable yet, we'll see

I run a clone team and am in the process of switching to this team just waiting to 7* anakin everyone else is in good shape need to get Aayla to G10 would be a big help too. Was curious how I had everyone modded @Poxx

The Clones are at a disadvantage largely because of the AI for Rex and Cody. If Rex would use his Squad Tactics first for Tenacity & TM than they would fare better against the Old Ben meta. But instead OB locks them out and drops their TM, ST Han taunts, Rey kills somebody with leverage or FOB if she already went or is at least close enough for a QGJ or GS kill and its downhill from there. Cody could be more playable if Rex did Squad Tactics first and Cody did 212th Attack first. Dont get me wrong, I see no reason why Codys HP is 30% less than the other Clones or even Rey (who also has Foresight) but the AI fix for both Rex and Cody would make them competitive at least.

@Zooey I'm sure on D he's not as great but I find on offense his utility is much better than Sarge. His mods aren't ideal rn as I have him in mostly health mods and two crit mods. I'd actually love to see a video of someone battling my group to see how the AI works for Cody but I've not fallen out of the top 5 in two days so seems like he's doing something right.

@Durrun two tank teams aren't difficult as I usually make one immune with JKA and then stun the other with Cody... If needed will grenade them with echo. Lots of options!

Nice, what are you running @Clash2Far ? Any squad Ive left in with Cody gets dropped out of top-10, hit 21 once. First time I'd been ranked thst low is 4 months.

@Durrun - JKA lead - 5s, Cody, Echo, Rex... When they join forces they become "R5x Chody".. Under the helm of JKA or Just Kick A....
