I'm on the horizon of my first Zeta and wanted to seek the collective wisdom...Background: I came late to the party of building nicely synergised squads. Instead I (wrongly) assumed 'named' characters would be better then generics; and that a team of names would win the day. Then I got hammered by phoenix teams all the time...but it means my zeta choice is not straightforward as any themed squad has (multiple) weak links.Context: Lvl 85 with a few 7* toons; 1 gear lvl 10, others 8-9Viable zeta options1) Fett. Why? My 2nd best toon, and core of my GW/Arena squad.Why not? Selfish zeta. Other BH need work (Greedo 7* lvl 80; CB near 7* lvl 70; Bossk 3*, Dengar 3*). Already sim credit heist tier 32) VaderWhy? Top toon, gr10. Hoping helps Tie Adv, which is 5* lvl85Why not? Other Empire lacking. 7*EP, but low level, ditto 6* Thrawn and Tarkin; RG & TFP lower still3) Kylo or KRUBoth 7*, lvl 85, gr9. Joined by 6* lvl 60 FOST and FOTFP. Have 7* lvl 70 Phasma, but looking to replace with FOO by farming from Cantina Store4) PhoenixSabine is 6*, others 7*. Sabine may be obvious, but 100 shards to 7* with 1 drop per day (average) means long wait and she'll be ineligible for Thrawn events, etc. Could Zeta any of the others also.So, choices:FettVaderKyloKRUSabineKananEzraHeraWho should I zeta first?Thanks

Can you post a link to your swgoh.gg account?

Go to swgoh.gg, create an account, copy the link, and paste it here.

Based on your list alone I'd vote KRU leadership and roll out 4 FO + Vader (or keep Phasma) until you get FOO. Considering you have a 6* FOST already that's a solid squad.Or go boring Meta and roll out zPalp lead, Vader, Thrawn, Tarkin, TFP. But where's the fun in that...

Your 1st 2 zeta should always be vader and finn or you are playing the game wrong

And can solo it in half the time of a Zader team too.

Who else you need in FO to solo rancor. I'm guessing FOO is needed for tm control?

I disagree, it’s usually your arena leader first. And if you don’t farm the CLS requirements and join a guild that can’t do HPit, then you’re doing something wrong. CLS and raid Han can solo the rancor.

All you need is KRU, FOO, and FOE.

One option I think you have is to zeta Bastila lead, and put gear and levels into Yoda. Run Bastila, Yoda, Ezra, Kanan, and Ahsoka until you get Old Ben, Hermit Yoda, Kenobi, etc.

Also, Jango Fett comes out tomorrow, if you think you might want to put work into bounty hunters and zeta him.

1- KRU - tenacity down continuously so TM removal sticks.
2 - FOST/Phasma - Speed Down. Critical unless you have absolutely awesome speed secondaries for P4 where the Rancor is 25% faster. Personally FOST is better as he calls assists and grants advantage with his Zeta. And his taunt grants almost as much TM as Victory March.
3 - FOO - removes TM but more importantly passes offense up, advantage and 100% TM to FOE as often as possible in between.
4 - FOE - removes 50% TM with special but also stacks offense each phase and hits for close to 100k each turn by the end of each. He'll do about 7.5 million of the 10.3 million total by the end.
5 - OG Kylo- purely there to spam Lash Out and grant everyone 25% TM and 50% to anyone with advantage.

Could pull off a solo with just KRU, FOO, and FOE but you'd need ridiculous speed.

Zader and zFinn are cool, but FAR from the best uses for first zetas, especially based on your current roster.

zKRU or zEP are indeed your best choices. zKylo is good, but not as good as zKRU. Boba is niche, and almost unnecessary if run under Bossk. Phoenix zetas are for much, much later.

You should zeta Boba. Why? Because you want to, and that's really all that matters. Work on building more factions and apply zetas when they start grooving.

Thanks folks, looks like zkru is the fave. Will farm FOE too, TFP can wait a while until other empire getting sorted.

Bastila also on radar. Often tripped up on GW by EP lead sith squads in final 3-4 rounds. Can't get started with any team but jedi. But long farm yet for bastila. Nearly 7* windu to give 5x7* jedi for next GMY event

bastzilla is perfectly viable at 4/5*. She doesn't need 7* to be useful. If you have the other jedi, she can immediately contribute.
