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.

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

@Captain_Apollo thanks for the tips! I'm trying to get old Ben up and properly modded to take Thrawn's place but all those Carbanti are desperately needed elsewhere.

@Vendi1983 Thrawn is necessary as you can use his fracture on Sion (against Sith) or Revan (against Jedi).

You should cut through JKR like butter...once you get C3PO that is. My CLS team often doesn't lose a character against JKR and sometimes wins without even taking damage.

Personally I mod CLS with a potency cross and offense triangle. Potency ensures that buff immunity will stick on GK (the "easy button" for CLS against JKR). You could go with Crit Dmg triangle too, just use whichever has better speed.

You definitely want CLS as your fastest, followed by R2.

Also, just looked at your ewoks...you need to get on ewoks ASAP. CLS doesn't compete at top-end PvP without Goldenrod.

Any tips for Jedi Revan teams with GK?

I can try to work around GK with debuffing his taunt, but it is hit and miss.

You need to land CLS Buff Immunity on GK. If it is resisted, the fight is exponentially more difficult (albeit you usually can still win).

Hit him with Han Chewie or CLS Chewie combo to inflict tenacity down initially then the buff immunity sticks.

There's always a base 15% chance to resist even with ten down applied.

True, but then modding for potency is irrelevant. Which was mentioned earlier to get BI to stick on GK.

Awesome! C3PO definitely makes this team MUCH better. He can also be used in Padme and JTR teams to great effectiveness, though probably best overall in the CLS team. GL on the event!
