I had been planning on working on my BH soon-ish, and the plan had been: Boba Tea (L), Cad Bane (even though he sucks, because I love him), Greedo, weak 3-star Embo (because he's cool), and Zam Wessel (even though I can't find her anywhere, ever).But thennnn whaaaaaaaaaaaaa??? I discover that:Aurra Sing is coming out.Cad Bane is getting a rework.And oh yeah, Bossk is actually farmable now. So plan #2 was weak, 3-star Embo (L), because that looks better that Boba, Cad Bane (sweet! He won't suck anymore!) Greedo, weak 3-star Bossk (hey, at least he's farmable), and Boba.But now I'm lost. Is weak, 3-star Aurra Sing better than one of these guys? And is Zam worth keeping over one of them, too?My team is basically going to be half 3-star pay-to-play characters, yeah? I don't know what to do and who is the best combination now! I don't mind being 'behind the trend' and using characters I'm already done with (IG-88, Boba Fett, Cad Bane) instead of the 'cool new' (but impossible-to-level) ones. What's your call, community? What's my best team of Bounty Hunters as we transition to a new world full of them?

Any BH team must contain Bossk in some capacity. They need a tank.If you are looking at arena don’t go for a Bossk lead. A well geared Bossk lead can auto all DSTB battles on all tiers.

Does DSTB stand for "Dark Side Territory Battles?" If so, are you saying DON'T go for a Bossk lead? Or DO go for a Bossk lead?? Why not go for it if it's so good?

Arena - NO Bossk leadTB/GW - Bossk leadIf you need healing in arena that badly, you're in trouble. Boba's or Embo's leads create more offense which you need. And Boba has a very arena-geared contract: kill one character. Good luck satisfying other ones in a single 5-5 arena battle.

Yeah it seems that all signs point to getting the bounty hunters ready for something big. I did the "which squad can I get to 7* fastest" method and have Boba, ig-88, cad, zam, and greedo. Npw I feel like I can focus on the longer term farms...I think Bossk is key for the tank and now Hounds Tooth. between Embo and Aurra they both look great, for me I think I'll go with Aurra since I need some viable teams for p3 of the sith raid

Good/Bad time to work on Bounty Hunters?

Hmmm some must not have zeta Bossk lead they do ok in arena. As for cad rework it’s all speculation(he’s paper)I run ZBossk Boba Dengar Greedo and Zam. I’ll swap Zam with Embo when I get some stars on him as his health is pretty low. I can tear down Chaze Wiggs, empire with palp, Bastilla squads and those CLS squad with FO being the only ones I struggle with due to TM gain. They are a lot of fun! As far as offense goes Bossk hunting party gives you that and to say no for arena is only if your the whale in your shard or in an old shard.

A problem with BH in raids especially AAT is there is major problems with payout targets but they are useful in Sith Raid.

Personally I’m not gearing bounty hunters for the time being, I want to hold off see if anything big is coming within the next month or two and if so what would be the best bet then. Slowly farming Bossk though as I reckon he would pretty much be a safe bet to have in any BH squad regardless.

@3pourr2

It's not that you can't use Bossk as leader, it's that bounty hunters work extremely well once they fulfill their contract. Their unique payouts are key to staying competitive. Boba's leadership contract is the easiest one to complete in a squad arena match, that's all. Just expect that if you're using BH in arena you'll fall hard when you aren't in control of them.

That aspect is true for all teams under ai control but bossk lead with dengar on the team is way easier to complete contract.bossk taunt dengar thermal detonators(multi hits) dengar used special so bossk 100% tm, Bossk hunting party(everyone attacks)and with greedo and boba multi attacks , contract complete! Much easier than getting a kill with same speed payout and health/protection regen. This method gets Embos lead payout fast too.
