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.

So I've been running CLS rebels for a while now and I've noticed something odd. Again, I'm sure it's down to in-game ability wording versus actual ability coding, however; it still seems counter-intuitive.

C3PO places two stacks of confuse on Malak. He then is attacked by Han/Chewie, or CLS/Chewie, forcing him below his "bonus turn" threshold. According to 3PO's basic, he shouldn't gain bonus TM. But he does. Is this another of those "turn versus turn METER" clarification issues?

Yup, a bonus turn is ‘different’ from gaining turn meter. Just like remove is ‘different’ from cleanse/dispel. Different names to get around counters to the original versions.

@_Skystalker then I'll be set for that! Just need to G13 3PO and R2. Ugh. Really enjoying relic CLS, Han and Chewie though. Tough trio to beat damage-wise.

Yeah, mine is quickly moving up in ranks as I'm improving it.

Agreed! I'm usually holding in Top 50 overnight now, with Han R7, Chewie R5, CLS R4, R2D2 R3, and 3P0 at G12+4. Damage is absolutely crazy and only going up!
