CLS lead team advice

So, I've been playing pretty much since launch, I've recently reached 3m GP, and I'm trying to organise my teams a bit better.

I believe I have decent teams for most factions, but I'm not sure about my CLS lead Rebel team.

I'm trying to use each character only once: my R2 is in my JTR Resistance team, I'm using Chaze in my Rogue One team, and I don't have C3P0.

My plan is CLS lead, Raid Han, Chewie, and two others - but I don't know who. Any recommendations?

    I'll assume you use Ezra with Phoenix, so I'd probably go for Old Ben and Fulcrum Tano. Leia or Biggs could also work for the non-tank role.
  • Yeah, Ezra is in my Phoenix team.

    Which Leia is that? I wondered about either Princess or ROLO in some combination with Captain Han (not that I have him unlocked yet), Old Ben, or Wiggs. I also wondered about something more unusual like Fulcrum Ahsoka, Bistan, Pao, or Scarif Rebel Pathfinder. There's so many Rebels in this game...

    I guess either Leia could work, but I was referring to the one with the gown that stealths and triple taps on her basic. Her kit isn't fancy, but she can lay down some pretty big hits still, and keep Crit Up on your whole team.

    Also, as pointed out by @Shadowscream above, Bistan is normally pretty bleh but can be an absolute beast with Chewie if you get Guard on him. 4-turn Frenzy = crazy amount of Chewie assists.

    Pao is really bad for anything other than deathmark-counter teams for use against Traya in Phase 3 of the Sith raid. Scarif Rebel Pathfinder is actually a pretty good tank, but he is a massive Carbanti thief. He needs even more than General Kenobi. It's bonkers.
  • No other option. The force is strong with c3po and r2. Mine is top 20 arena with cls lead
  • I'm using CLS, Chewie, Han, C-3PO and R2.

    I used to use Finn lead and could beat Revan teams if Yoda had a measly <250 speed.
    Alas, my CLS team keeps sinking down the ranks and there are no more teams he can beat.
    Hopefully I will be able to fight my way back up at the end of the month if I can unlock Revan. And gear up. And zeta.

    Or is there actually a (CLS) team that can beat 340 speed Yoda/Revan/Jolee teams???
  • Thrawn works great on CLS team but try not to have him be guarded. ST Han can tank, you want guard on ST Han or CLS in this team.

    CLS/Han/Chewie/3PO/R2 is the dream CLS team. With the right mods and zetas, it can beat pretty much anything on offence except maybe a strong Darth revan team with a pretaunt.
    CLS is the 3rd most common lead in my shard behind both revans.

    That’s the team. Key is speed on either CLS or R2 (depending on your strategy) has to be around 290 or more. I go with R2’s speed, since it’s a little easier to get his up there (and you don’t have to sacrifice as much offense for speed as you may for CLS, if your mods aren’t perfect). Opening move is used on Jolee, who usually resists all 3 exposes, giving your team +15% TM. That means that a 290 speed R2 will go before a JKR with speed 301 or less (effective speed comparison is r2/.85 vs JKR+40). With R2 going first, you can pop smokescreen on whoever you want to be marked (I go with a guarded CLS, modded for tenacity so he can resist TMR/cooldown increase, as he can’t be critically hit). Use the force on GMY, then nuke whoever to burn savior, after that it’s all about controlling GMY while you hard kill GK. Once GK goes down, they lose their crit immunity and it should be quick work to take out the rest of the team.
