While I found KRU kit nice overall (lead is great and unique also fits really nicely too) the other abilities seem much more... disapointing.Basic is Ok: tenacity down is nice and also the taunt mechanic, but it hits really really little.Halt should be undispellable: It has no point to have a great two turns stun with all the multiple cleanses there are now in game: Chirrut, rex, ackbar, FOO, kanan, hera, GK, thrawn, finn, talia, bb8... without that is just only a small annoyance.Focused rage hit ok to stun targets, but it recovers health. It should be proteccion just like masked kylo ren. Passive unique recovers health on hit and also halt recovers 10% health, it has no point to recover even more health with this ability.Also, for being a tank with low damage his survivability should be higher (he has low prot and health for being a tank, compared to baze, gk, shoretrooper, sith trooper, etc) and recovering prot with this special would help with that.What do you think?

Thanks to FOO, the team can stun everyone like crazy and Gains lots of TM and buffs (that provide Heals if you have KRU Zeta).In my opinion, we need Hux as a viable replacement for FOO that can reduce CDs and cleanse. Also some Offense up will be nice, given the fact that CRIT change/damage and speed are already there.This team can perfectly win against the meta from what I've seen.Damn, why would you post that just when i finally made up my mind to put a zeta on FTP? I was planning to go for kru(L) fost fotp foo thrawn but now i feel i need to consider more...

KRU has a very nice balanced kit imo. And that’s the difference between LS and DS. DS toons are balanced. LS toons are overpowered..

You have galactic war, events, raids, heroic raids, territory battles, territory wars, fleet arena... Arena is just one of several co-equal parts of the game. Not everything has to cater to just that one, narrow area.

Hah! Yeah I've had that twice in GW.. From a lowly geared Biggs... Kru hits him like a wet noodle and eventually dies from the repeated counters. Having run both the meta and FO teams and finishing first in arena every day I can say that FO are still some ways off being as viable as several of the other teams currently sitting in top arena. Beating FO is as easy as this.. Stun FOO with zhan. Cls ignore taunt, kill FOO. You win. I could auto most battles using cls meta..FO needs careful strategy ...which don't get me wrong, that's actually quite fun. But knowing that on defense they're a walk in the park kinda ducks. .and drop like a rock comparatively. Heres what i know. In the current era of swgoh if you don't have critical immunity your probably screwed. Either squishy toons need a protection/health boost or damage needs to dialed down. The later will never happen. ..actually neither will.

The later will never happen. ..actually neither will. Hmm, I’d say you’ve been fighting some crappy FO teams. If you stunned my FOO, my Thrawn would cleanse him next, FOO would give TM to FOST, and it’s business I’d usual. If I happen to be running pure FO, then OG Kylo would be next in line after FOO, and would feed everyone TM. Once FOST and KRU have their taunts up, would you really waste your dispel killing FOO instead of clearing a taunt or hitting FOTP? My point is it doesn’t matter who Zolo attacks first on my team, they are all capable of working as a team of 3 or 4. First Order is still a joke on defense, but if you have them geared and modded correctly, they are capable of beating any team on offense. If you don’t care about having a pure team, get Thrawn in the mix (he’s great with FOO, or replacing him) and they are a top tier team.

His basic did no damage to biggs.I find this very strange, as my 4 Star, G11 KRU hasn’t had any trouble with this kind of thing. Sure, he’ll get fractured, but he still heals and definitely has enough hp to win a battle with Biggs. I love it when Biggs picks a fight with KRU or especially FOST, since he will just heal them and kill himself. Naturally, this is assuming you’ve taken out wedge and he’s not calling Zolo on the assists on something. If you link your swgoh.gg profile we may be able to help you figure out the problem, but first thing o would do is make sure he is modded for protection and health first, then offense, crit etc. He doesn’t need potency and in my opinion he doesn’t really need speed with all the TM from FOST and OG Kylo, plus you can always choose him with FOO and/or Thrawn if necessary. Frankly, I consider anything past the pretaunt and his stun to be a bonus, but I guarantee he will do more damage staying alive and countering hard, then going 30 speed faster.

Not a fracture, but something that cab be usefull to defeat meta teams.

I'm not talking to hold on defense, just to win on offense and so a pure /mix FO team can add to the meta teams.

I am having success against CLS teams with a mix of zzKRU zFOST Zylo thrawn and solo / zFOTP, (not using zylo aoe, if used FOST or KRU are dead in turn 1) on offense, but for example against a GK / zarris team with nihilus is imposible because zarris keeps cleaning nihilus from stun every turn and he is never stunned. You can take out solo / FOTP and put nihilus in, but again your nihilus is stunned way more ofen than his and he anihilates first.

Technicaly if you have in your team zylo (stun almost every turn) KRU (2 turns stun) solo (stun every 2 turns) thrawn (fracture) you should keep control of the battle, but that is almost impossible with amost every meta team.

That is why he needs something else or FO will never be part of arena meta.

I found at G12 he just gets stunned and dies so fast. Against meta, thrawn always fractures him, then cls does his second ability and he dies. I also found Biggs alone can solo him and shut him down. I had multiple matches where these 2 went back and forth until kru was dead and Biggs full health. Kru had 100% counter with taunt, Biggs gains 100% tm after surviving a critical so shoots kru, who counters, Biggs survives a critical and gains 100% tm.

This baffles me. Post your swgoh.gg please so I can see what you are running. At G12 he gets stunned and dies? From Thrawn and CLS? Those two don't have even close to enough damage to kill him. There are a multitude of reasons why this shouldn't be happening:

1.) Enemy thrawn should not be going first -- equal mods and your team should be going well ahead of thrawn.

2.) You should be stunning thrawn before he goes, or putting status affects on others before he goes so that he does his third ability first instead of facture.

3.) On a thrawn fracture, his taunt goes down, so he won't be getting hit much anymore. FOST's taunt should be up already at this point.

4.) Assuming Zhan hits your FOO, your team still should have enough resilience and be going fast enough for everyone to be alive with a lot of health for a while.

I was trying to use him as a poor man GK sub since I do not have him yet in a mixed team. Cls lead, r2, kylo, chirrut, raid han. Maybe my other difficulty is zetas? I think everyone else has 1 or 2 on r2, and 1 to 3 on cls. I have been fighting all g12 rebel teams and Biggs hits for way more than kru can heal. Mods might be the other issue. I originally had tenacity but found it did nothing so switched it out.

Just waiting on zetas. So slow to farm. I need 2 for r2 for pvp. Could use one for luke. Need one for kylo. Need one for bb8. So roughly 30-40 days for 1 zeta, so 150-200 days :(

I run him with zThrawn and zHan and just the three of them crush! I see Halt as a poor man's Fracture. Shoot First takes care of cleansers, as does Fracture and use Halt on your target of choice. He's actually one of my favorite tanks.

You already have KRU and OG Kylo geared, why not just come over to the First Order? One of the most fun factions to use, and totally viable in arena once you have a couple good speed sets.

I can set FOO to g12 in no time, can you give me advice to mod them for arena? I have tried several times an no way I can made FO arena viable (CLS is hard but beatable, GK Zarris no way and new Rey r2 bb8 gk old ben even worse)

Any help is welcome.

30-40 days for one Zeta?

Every 2 days, I can buy a fleet zeta, so with only those 20 zeta*2=40 (upper) and then I have horrible luck with ships and zeta, usually 1 a week even though I get 4 attemps. So maybe 5 more for 5 weeks. 20 zeta - 5 from fleet is 15. 15*2=30 days? Think I did my math right...

But still need to 7* ships like fo tie so slower if those pop in the store
