In more developed shards 270+ is needed. If you have speed from mods on your FOO that give you 4 or more extra speed than the opponents mods give their Vader, after zKRU lead bonus and vader's unique bonus, FOO should go first (given standard empire/sith teams). With variance in the opponents team or w/o KRU zeta just add up the bonuses and mods as needed included with FOO 145 base speed and vader 121 base speed. If your FOO is going first you should be winning on offence at least. Once you have the first turn use marching orders on one of FOST/FOE/kylo to get whole team to go next. At a later point of development of your opponent's you may begin to see one or two exceptions. Just to give an example, if the opponent's nihilus unique has a zeta under zEP lead, you may consider opening with pinning shot instead so as not to cleanse a debuff first turn. But, just mentioning it as the exception.In summary, find your fastest competitors and mod a bit faster than them... simples ;) For team comp as already said above aim for using zKRU(L), FOE, FOO, zFOST as a core. The 5th can be filled depending on opponent by kylo/FOSFTP/Thrawn. FOTP can take FOE's place until you have FOE. If you get raid han later he can be used on offence instead of zFOST when opponents team goes first but do not leave this team on defence for longer than the few mins between battles.For Hpit solo, the fastest auto FO team is zKRU(L), FOE, FOO. Add two others (fost and phasma preferably) to do it at lower gear. For Haat solo from 20% left in P2 to the end you'll want zKRU(L), FOE, FOO, zFOST/kylo, Thrawn

My favorite linup so far is KRU, Kylo, FOE, FOO, FOSTFP. FOSFTP is extremely under rated. The extra stun + kru's stun means enemy Sion and Thrawn never get to move. Kylo's TM gain actually applies up to 50% TM (25% to all, then another 25% to all with advantage). FOSFTP's assist to FOE feeds more TM to the group and helps FOE stack damage more quickly.I go between using zFOST and zKylo, but zKylo seems to hold a little better on defense. With current Palp meta, zFOST can't keep taunt and Palp just shocks/stuns and he sits there. zFOST is definitely better when facing CLS teams though.And FOE is a beast in sith raid. I've done 9m damage with my FO squad in P3 (tier 4, not heroic), and FOE was 8m of that.

You definitely want Executioner for raids. I like to run zzKRU lead, zFOST, FOO AND Og Kylo for the rest. Leave phasma completely out of the equation.

Yes and make him as quick as possible, should be first one to move in your team.

I would like an explanation plz...

zKRU (L) over Phasma lead...makes sense
zFOST...makes sense
FOO...makes sense
FOX...makes sense

My issue lies in Kylo (w/mask)

Seems to me, zFOTP would b far more effective and w/ FOX could make it a 5v4 quite quickly. Why is Kylo preferred ?

I'm considering Arena, TW, TB...not concerned w/ Raid. Have my teams already laid out 4 HSR.

The 25% turn meter kylo gives for everyone is a lot. On top of the speed from KRU and TM gain from FOO, everyone is moving very fast.

This exactly is why I run him. I just spam his AOE when I can. This is a fast team when they get going. And yes FOO should be going first. My FOO with 293 speed(under zzKRU lead) goes first most of the time.

25% tm every 4 turns is only half of what Phasma can give every 4 turns tho...and she adds advantage which boosts FO toons. Sorry, I still don't get it. It's not like anyone runs Phasma. Nm, didn't read his unique, I get it

Yeah his unique can reset him. He also hits extremely hard with his 3rd ability and brings heal immunity.

My FO team is only g8, so Im not an expert, but since OG Kylos AOE cant crit, I gave him offense Arrow Triangle and Cross. He has over 3k attack power at g8 and hits extremely hard.

My guild has 5 or 6 guys with full g11+ KRU teams and they are by far our most consistant defensive team. Many of them have broken 16 defensive wins on more than one occasion with 8-10 wins being average. Strangely only one of them runs FOO, so I dont think they are optimized yet either.

At your level you can use pretty much whatever you have at hand already geared up. Play around and test the different toons.

For a long term investment you do want Krum (L), FOE (an absolute beast), FOO (for tm manipulation and cleansing) + 2 more. FOST is a great tank and have an awesome zeta but is a hard farm. Kylo or FOSF (or possibly FOTP) for fifth member are replacable, you can use either one of them or go for a hybrid team and use for example Thrawn instead. Enfys would probably work well in that spot as well.
