SO exactly how viable can first order be? I love them as a faction and Kylo Ren is easily my favourite character in the series but how viable are they in this game? Sadly executioner still is not f2p but i have been farming unmasked kylo and his ship because the value of the node is just so high. Would a team of unmasked(zleader), masked, phasma, officer, and pilot do alright? they already do well for me in raids and hopefully executioner will make that even better but are the viable outside of this?

FO can beat just about anything on offense if it is geared and modded properly. They may need some RNG if facing a Palp lead with a Vader who is stacked for speed. They are not good defensively, however. The AI is just awful at prioritizing abilities and picking targets.The most common lineup is Kylo Unmasked (KRU), Regular Kylo (Kylo), First Order Officer (FOO), First Order Stormtrooper (FOST) and either First Order Tie Pilot (FOTP) or First Order Executioner (FOE).FO is all about turn meter. FOO has the highest speed in the faction. He should go before any enemy other than a speed-stacked Vader (once all speed bonuses are applied, Vader has slightly higher speed if mods are equal; if you have better speed on mods, he can be faster than Vader). FOO uses marching orders on either regular Kylo (who uses Lash Out) or FOST (who taunts). Either of those moves give the entire squad 25 percent turn meter, meaning they will go immediately. KRU uses stun/cleanse on tank, FOTP can one-shot a glass canon like Palp, FOST taunts, giving opponent two taunts to break through to get to FOTP and FOO (your most vulnerable characters).From there, you should be well ahead. The team gets lots of turn meter bonuses along with Advantage. Kylo and FOTP/FOE are doing most of the damage while KRU and FOST provide crowd control. FOST basic cleanses buffs from enemy as does KRU stun and FOE special. So getting through taunts should not be a problem. KRU and Kylo get stuns. FOO gives turn meter through marching orders and removes turn meter from enemy via Pinning Shot.

But I do have Rey at gear 12 and while certainly good I have a feeling Traya will be something else. Sorry offtopic rambling.

There is a guy in my shard running zkru, kylo, foo, foe, fotp and killing it!..newer shard though...no reys or cls yet but a lot of empire and ns teams

I do think FO is extremely viable too. though i disagree with most on phasma. ive beaten teams stronger by 20k with a KRU (L), KR, FOO, FOEX, and Phasma. All at GL 10 or 11, and no zetas. FOO goes first, gives TM to phasma, Phasma gives turn meter to everyone. KRU stuns primary threat 1 (like palp, or against other FO teams; KRU), high potency KR stuns secondary threat (ex Grand moff, thrawn, KR), FOEX ability hits third threat taking out 50% of their TM. FOO then keeps down turn meter for third threat. Enemy is basically locked down to 2 toons, and then can quickly dispatch them one by one using FOEX. this way as long as FOO is the fastest on the board you win.

A good variation is FOTP to apply buff immunity to whomever is the biggest threat/taunt on the other side.

I'm eventually going to swap in FOE but can't decide who to drop.

My opening move is almost always lash-out by Kylo which bumps Phasma up to full TM, she grants everyone advantage and TM, FOST clears a taunt if there is one, FOTP buff immunity on whomever needs it, KRU 2-turn stuns another threat, and away we go.

drop pilot. Executioner or pilot due to FOO’s only buffing one character at a time.

KRU Lead, Kylo, FOO, FOTP, and FOSF. One hard TM reduction, some nice aoe, and 3 stuns.
