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.

But that should guarantee a 7* the time.So far I'm farming the ideal lineup (no Scout or Teebo), and they're all G7-8 and +60-90 speed.With the ideal line-up you can get a 5* with significantly less gear than you would expect, but zeta on Chirpa is sort of the clencher. All level 85 5* great mods and zeta on Chirpa should equal 5* C3PO 4U.Also, you should easily be able to bring all to G8 by end of event from G7

Getting Han at g12 maximizes damage while just don't mod him for health/protection. Make sure guard stays on Han and CLS. C3PO gears pretty easy and is Tanky. Mod him to g10 while you work up Han"Make sure guard stays on han" guard is always on han it's part of the description. Stay with the Jawas lol

Quick question: is Rally supposed to clear Fracture? I fractured Revan and on her next turn Bastila called Revan to assist and he could, with no fracture icon.

No, either that's a bug or (more likely) you may have missed fracture expiring.

Possibly but Thrawn was still down around 25% turn meter. He had just done it. I'll record my next couple of Revan matches just in case.

Who would all of you that run CLS Rebels recommend as first for G12+ and G13 on the team? About to get C3PO so he's an option too.

@Vendi1983 I don't recommend G13ing the CLS team. I destroyed an all g13 CLS mirror 2 days ago and their Han went 1st. My team only has 2 g12 on it....

How is any of this relevant when his toons are all already higher geared?

Well they're set up as such:

zzzCLS G12+3, 300 SPD, 4000 offense (+ GUARD)
zzChewie, G12+5, 210 SPD, 4,900 offense
zHan, G12+3, 240 SPD, 3,250 offense
R2, G12+2, 304 SPD

For now: zThrawn, G12+1, 275 speed

But, all gear and mods hoarded for:

zzC3PO, G12+0, speed/potency set with +130 speed

Anyone can lose on defense. I have seen a couple g13 CLS breaking top 50 or better.

I don't run that squad, but of the ones I see doing well, Han and CLS seem to be the first to g13.
