  • Properly used KRU OGKylo Phasma FOO FOE are traya killers properly modded. Advantage gives critical hits and FOE will rip Traya a new one.

    Phasma is hurting this team. operation multiverse have nice ideas, but this isnt one of them. truth is, traya is very defensive L. crit avoidance and heal, on 3 very tanky toons... what need to be done to beat her is even STRONGER offense. good enough offense team that foreshadows the defensive side of traya L.
    the first team that comes to mind is danger zone. very outdated team, but it just so offensive that it wins traya L. another team that comes to mind is Zinn. the exposes give huge offense capabilities that allow it to win traya. so is IPD+DT team, same idea - offense capabilities that can do bit more than Traya's defense capabilities. (there are more options, but lets not stay on that and move to FO) another team is FO. but it do NOT need phasma.
    phasma giving advntage is maybe a nice thing, but putting phasma over Fost is a huge mistake. Fost, KRU and FOO will spread enough advantage to your team, and Fost utility (and especially when zetad) is much much bigger than phasma. also, Kylo ren have no business with advntage. everything besides the AoE is waste of a turn. when compared to danger zone - FO have their TMR of foo and fox, just like danger zone have cls and han, and FO have slightly less damage. this is all you need. however, FO offense is slightly less so you need someone to defend the damage dealers. if you remove Fost from the team, you can get unpredictable outcome. Traya isolating the guy with the most HP+Protection. on the second isolate, FoX is this guy, and you really, REALLY dont want FoX isolated, sicne KRU can be fructured, to make sure you win the game, its better to have KRU and Fost as taunting tanks.
    point is: Fost is better than Phasma, not only in general, but also vs traya L teams. I used zzKRU, zFost, kylo, fox, foo in arena vs traya teams with MUCH better mods (because my FO isnt arena modded) already months ago, before operation multiverse brought this idea. its not hard task with FO, it really isnt. putting Phasma there only for the advntage making this much much harder task. you can also go to FO discord, and see how many people can do the same, without phasma. advising phasma is bad advice.
  • I'm on September 2016 shard and run FO in arena. I run KRU, FOO, FOX, FOST, and FOSF. They're all G12 with zetas and decently well modded. I'm consistently around 100 with dips in to the 60s and up in to the 170s.
    I have troubles with CLS and JTR teams but beat all but the very best Palp teams and all NS teams with a FOST/Kylo swap for the extra AoE.

    I prefer FOSF to FOTP because you can get an extra assist on FOX which really boosts his damage. Between FOSF, FOO, and the turn meter grated by FOST, FOX goes really often.

    Here is a video of me taking on a Palp lead empire team. This team doesn't include Sion which adds a wrinkle, but it's usually beatable as long as Sion isn't a beast.

    Incorrect. The key is advantage up. She has the best path to advantage up of any FO.

    SORRY to say 99 percent of discord users are followers. Using the reason"everyone does it" means Jack. It is key to give FOE advantage for 4 attacks. Cannot be done another way without allowing RNG to enter the equation. I will take the sure thing over the maybe. Phasma FTW.

    Since subbing in Phasma on offence against traya I haven’t lost: I’m in the FO discord, this is a thing that defo works , even against traya nest/traya sith Trooper/traya assassin, haven’t come across a combo where if I go first I don’t win.
    If traya is getting more than 1 isolate on you you’re doing something wrong.

    use zFOST instead of phasma, and see better results. thats the point. i know that they can win with phasma, everybody knows since operation multiverse advetrises it, but they do better with fost, and on defense aswell.
