Hi guys,I've been putting off the switch to an alternative Squad Arena team as long as I can but after almost 18 months it's about time to bid adieu to my FO toons.My next switch will be to the following;G12 zzzCLS, CD/CC, +105G12 zzChewie CD/CCG11 zHan CD/CCG11 zzR2 +122G12 z Thrawn +115I've run them a bunch on GW to get a feel for the team, but any specific helpful hints for the stronger teams in Arena? Kill orders, etc? Surrounded by zPalp, NS, lower gear and mod Revans, z Bastilas.

When facing Traya teams, use Han’s opening salvo against Thrawn, then use your own Thrawn to fracture Traya. Kill order is Thrawn, Bastila Fallen/Palpatine, Sion, Nihilus, TrayaWhen facing Jedi Revan teams without GK, begin by stunning and fracturing Yoda, which should trigger savior. Kill order is Yoda (to trigger savior), Jolee, Yoda, Revan, Bastila, Hermit Yoda or whoever they’re using as a 5thWhen facing Bastila teams, you want to stun Yoda, and kill order either starts with Yoda (if no Jolee) or Jolee, if he’s present

I’d also mod CLS for speed rather than CD, if you’ve got fast enough mods. He’s the engine that runs the TM train, and his attacks should focus on controlling the enemy team with stuns/TMR rather than hard kills (which are the job of Han/Chewie). I also usually avoid using call to action unless I need him to cleanse/heal, as he’s more valuable gaining lots of TM whenever anyone else gets attacked, then passing TM along via his unique/lead.

He will resist three times (twice on Han and once on Chewie), granting 15% TM via CLS' lead.

Forgot to mention:

Guard is set up for CLS already, and free to suggestions on alternatives to Thrawn currently or in the future. (No 3PO yet...)

I've debated that @Dirty_Litle_Smuggler . I have a +142 set on FOO but I really don't want to have to move them over because they're set up perfectly for all raids etc.

Time to start building a new set I guess.

Alright I've made the switch and now trying to figure out kill orders and strategies for various teams.

Any that I should avoid at all costs? Any that I can cut through like a hot knife through butter?

So far zPalp with no BSF is pretty straightforward. Stun Vader, focus down Palp and Fracture Sion. But when BSF is there she seems to be almost more critical than taking out Palp. Thoughts?

With chewie palps mass stun isn't as big a threat because of guard. I'd use Han's special attack + CLS to control palps while you take out the bigger threats.

You can also use Old Ben as your 5th if you go against a team where you need a tank. With his taunt zetad he's really good.

The only teams that are really bad are ones with Nest. It's a very difficult balance act to slowly whittle away the health of nest after each of her turns while targeting her other teammates between her turns to not apply too much tmr. You basically need to juggle so nest is the first to die, if the rest of her team dies first CLS teams have too much tmr to allow you to beat nest
