Dooku Lead working :)

I have QGJ and Dooku 7*, so I'm not too worried about which way it will go

I just tried swapping Dooku and Jinn in my usual lineup and fought a guy I normally beat 99% of the time in under 2 minutes.
With Dooku in the leader slot Yoda couldn't get BM up, his Dooku stunned my Lumi, and even though a couple of dodges and then a later BM by Yoda allowed me to get everyone Offense Up, it was too late, and I lost.
Speed unfortunately is STILL all that matters. :(
Maybe it would work better with a different team. But in mine, Jinn goes back in the leader slot.
(Team: Jinn, Yoda, Lumi, GS, Anakin/Dooku/RG depending on my mood and opponent.)

I think evasion works great in arena. I place top 3 everyday. I use to run Sid in the leader slot but noticed I started dropping further as more players max up good teams on our shard. I switched to lumi leader and she grants less evasion than dooku. Come on Dooku adds more than double the evasion of lumi lead with non Jedi.

On offense it shouldn't matter because you should be winning anyways. However on defense, RNG is key, I assume dooku leader on defense is going to drive ppl crazy aka me since I don't have dooku and don't plan on farming him.


My arena squad is
Lumi leader
Sid
GS
HRS
Poggle
All maxed and they decimate any team. Pretty cookie cutter easy to get f2p.

Moral, RNG is king on defense, give it time

I've tried a Phasma lead, Dooku, Daka type RNG team on defense. Not as many people are afraid of it as you might imagine, but hope it works better for you.

That's true not afraid of really any team when on offense. I just notice the only time I ever lose on offense is against RNG heavy teams. If it's just a fast DPS with all the usual suspects win rate is way higher since the AI doesn't focus fire properly. So when I can, I avoid those type teams until inside the top 5.

I'm afraid to leave Dooku lead in there, frankly. I don't think anyone fears evasion as much as super speed. And on defense, this leader ability has the potential to give Jinn a target for his dispel on his first turn. In fact, pretty easily if you are running Sid and Jinn together (though admittedly not many do.)
I don't think Dooku lead is tier one at this time, sadly. Maybe if/when I ever unlock Rey that will change.

Thanks @Qeltar good info as always!

@Qeltar I actually like Dooku as lead. I have Dooku, Sidious, Rey, RG and GS. Works really well now. Rey evaded twice :o

why is everyone so excited about never being able to hit sideous ever again I don't get it

easily the most obnoxious leader ability tbh but I'm just super salty about this hit to my jedis lololol kicking screaming crying

@xJazzx - Rey may make the difference in this sort of build. Mine is still not activated and won't be until I get her to 230 shards and there's some way to get purple hairdryers that doesn't make me want to throw my phone across the room. :)
Until then I guess I stick with what I have. I'll play with Dooku lead some more in GW.
