Did I just waste my 1st zeta?

I have no experience with resistance... i have poe... from waaaay back when he worked with droids...

But i do have R1 team g9+ and they both use expose as primary dps source (minus rey) and i can say that it is probably not the most effective thing in the arena... gw yes its best thing since sliced bread but in the arena... time limits, AI and zaul leads stealth + taunts are all stacked against you.

By good Mods do you mean all with speed secondaries? That's what really matters.

Yes..And poe got my je mods so he's at 262 speed. It was only 2 battles and I've never used them besides the challenges so idk maybe I was playing like a noob.

If you have a 262 poe, then maybe you are. Shardmate was running them and they are terrible on defense but he loved them on offence. The other team should never get a turn when you are doing it right.

They are not that bad, it's just harder to out speed a zaul team, not that you 100% need to but it helps.

I would try sid over B2, it could help. More exposes and could even help on defense since the ai will pick at random.

They can still work in Arena. You just have to make sure they have speed and protection. They are all kind of soft.

In the hAAT, you should be able to drop 2m easy, with decent mods, in P2.

Maybe not a huge short term gain but with episode 8 released later that year, resistance and first order teams are bound to be extended this year and then you'll be in a prime position.

Besides, you Zeta'd the toon you enjoy using.. I run an FO team. I think it's more fun to play the team you want to than run a generic cookie cutter team :)

Like others have said, the zFinn team is very good at HAAT. You should be able to throw down 2-3 million in P2 (10-15%). So it is by no means a waste.

In arena they are in a tough spot right now because the resistance team needs to go first, and that is very hard to do in the current meta with how prevalent Zaul is. You can still come from behind and win but it's harder than it was. Arena was much easier for resistance before Zaul took over the current meta.

One thing I would suggest is putting your best speed mods on Sidious rather than Poe, if you can get your AOE to go first he'll add expose to most of the enemy and RP will get full turn metre, he'll hit an exposed enemy to add TM to the other resistance and then you are good to go. Still against a Zaul team your Sid will need to be 1.25 times faster than theirs to go first which is impossible against a well modded team

Zaul teams make me throw my phone at the wall.

For arena anyway.

Although some have been fiddling with their lineups.

Zaul, palp, DN + chaze = beatable with Zylo instead of rey, provided the AI doesn't annhilate Kylo Ren.

Zaul, palp, DN, SA & Baze/Shore any tank = forget it.

I run Zfinn, Poe, RT, RP and maxed Zylo Ren.

Wipe the floor with everything except zaul with fast sith assassin (actually have trouble sometimes with Zqgj teams too).



I'm interested in toying with zFinn, Poe, RT, Zid & Zylo.

Another team would be Finn Poe RT B2 Zid.

I don't have B2 or Zid though.

I run Zinn with Poe, Trooper, Rey and Zidious in Arena with pretty good results. Stay in top 15-25. The problem with any other toon is that they freeze if the Res get going. Gonna try Asajj soon with a zeta and see what happens. Also... Res are awesome in P2 of HAAT. I hit between 2.2m-2.8M

It depends on how you define waste. Do you enjoy resistance? Do you love the characters? It isn't always about meta or arena. Do what you love.

Definitely don't expect to compete in arena high level with that team but you can do serious damage in HAAT, you can be successful in arsna(not top 10) and if you like the characters, have fun with it.
