Current best Resistance Team?

Gw - Poe Finn rt rp bb8 same for raid also tb
Arena my guess is Poe Finn rt bb8 r2

Bb8 doesn't need much to be effective G8
Finn needs his zeta
Zinn Poe rt are the main drive of any res team

Zfinn poe and res trooper are the absolute musts. I like r2 but for tb some like save him for rebel squad. For GW i use those 4 and usually rey but honestly doesnt really matter who 5th is... For TB bb8 might be better. Arena is lot more tricky and i cant really help you there...its virtually non existent on my shard.

Yup. This is correct. For GW, TB, and Raids you can run a very undergeared squad that you mentioned.

R2 adds a lot for arena but as usual, they will not hold well on defense.

I use the core three, plus zR2 and zRey in arena. Rey is pretty much required to combat CLS teams, and R2 is great for the additional stun and AoE attack.

Btw, at least for GW, gear isnt even a big issue. I have finn at 9 poe at 10 and rey and trooper at 8. I still regularly destroy g12 luke teams before they even get a turn. You do want some hp on poe in case enemy gets a turn, but the zeta on finn and the trio of finn poe and trooper are the biggest things.

And speed and potency on poe (r2 helps with potency). I usually put them in on node 1 to build tm then dont use them again until node 12.

Not running them in Arena.

TB is easy as pie with zFinn, Poe, R-Trooper, BB-8, and I like Rey because her triple attack is ready every time she gets a turn.

GW, also pretty simple with... zFinn, Poe, R-Trooper, zzR2, and I like to put in zHan Solo because, well because he's freakin' amazing. The best thing about having R2 is that he can stealth to give Poe Foresight. @CCyrilS 's comment about making sure Poe has some health/protection is good advice, because if the enemy get any kind of opportunity to attack, it usually means Poe is smashed.

I dont have zeta on han, but i do use thrawn occasionally. Or shore vs the rare team that gets a few turns.

Thanks guys! I’ve got zFinn at G10, Poe and RT at G9. Would you recommend any higher gear levels on the core 3? My Rey is G11 and BB8 is G8 so I’ll throw them in on GW and TB and see how they fare.

For gw and tb you should be gold with decent mods.

GW : Zeta Finn, Poe, ResTrooper and R2-D2. 5th spot is either BB-8(for more damage) or ResPilot(for higher chance of expose).
Without R2-D2, you will take heavy damage from CLS(ignores taunt) and rebels(50% or more counterattack).
Gear 8 can make it, but you will need RNG in your favor. Higher gear level makes Resistance team more stable and fail-safe.
