Help deciding who to replace on my arena team

Right now I am running a rebel team plus Boba. I managed to get Baze as my free chromium by re-rolling several times, so I started farming Chirrut out of the shipments. And I am about to unlock him, so I was wondering who would be best to drop to place Chirrut.

My arena squad: (L) Lando, Cassian, Biggs, Baze and Boba.

I am currently lvl 59, probably gonna be 60 tomorrow. Right now the shard right now is 1.5months old. Most of the teams I fight against are a few levels higher than myself since I had the bad luck of starting arena at rank 17,000. I managed to get to top 50 and have been staying there for a few days now, mainly because I hoarded a lot of energy before going live and having baze sure helped also

I rather drop Biggs or Cassian in exchange of Chirrut but I cant decide which one, because the shard is filled with sith teams, or a mix of rebels or empire with DN.

Some of the DN lead teams have sith trooper in their line up. So I like Cassian because if Boba does not apply ability block on DN I can use Cassian's crippling shot to do it, plus with him applying buff immunity on his basic I can avoid sith trooper's taunt. Same thing happens with shoretrooper in empire teams.

And if I were to drop Biggs I fear I would lose an important damage dealer, Dooku is always a pain, especially under DN lead, so using Biggs its easier to get him out of the way.

That's basically it, maybe it would be better to drop both Biggs and Cassian and sub in Chirrut, and DN (after I start and finish farming him). But I don't know if there's another direction I could be going for.

Any advice and help is welcome and would help me a lot for sure.

    Or start farming Jyn from guild store, you probably should farm her anyway she's a great toon. And build a R1 team with a Jyn lead you can get K2 for that last spot or use Boba. Cassian shines when exposes pop with his shock grenade. That is until Rex starts showing up and tossing out TenUp and TM on crit

    Maybe you should be farming Rex and get a jump his lead.
    Also maybe if you haven't already, take a week and farm mods so you have speed secondaries and speed arrows it will make a huge difference at your level and give you a leg up.

    It's rough to run Cassian without K2SO, Chirrut without Baze, and Biggs without Wedge. I've seen it done occasionally, but rarely with success. The closest I can think of are Wedge leads of full Rebel teams without Biggs.

    See if you have the other pair to any of those three toons.


    Yeah Im only 2 shards away from unlocking Chirrut and already got Baze to 4*, so I could run (L) Lando, Chaze, Boba, and Biggs.
    As for K2SO, I dont think I am gonna be able to farm him in awhile, coz well Ive been hoarding GW currency so I can unlock and increase star on the ships for fleet. Later, need to farm Zeb to get my 5th for EP and trawn,

    And you are right I mean this two toons synergy are not so great if they are not complete, like Biggs loses much of his appeal without Wedge, need to farm him from fleet... ah soo many decisions.

    You could go the most basic of basic rebel squads:

    Wedge(L), Biggs, Chirrut, Baze, R2.

    Eventually transition into something more sustainable like:

    CLS(L), R2, GK and two DPS.

    Yeah Jyn is a great choice, there are some teams who run Jyn plus chirrut, and other Jyns plus Baze in my shard lol. I began hoarding my guild currency as well because I could not decide which toon to farm from the store, jyn's kit is amazing so she is definitely an option

    Now that you mention Rex I am thinking that because I'm already farming him for my fleet team anyway I could just go ahead and make him leader. I've never used Rex and no one in my shard has him as part of their line up yet, at least on the top 50, so I don't know how it may work with chaze and other rebels. Although, there are many people doing a lot of debuffs, sith teams with vader, sidious, etc and empire teams doing the same, so having two cleansers makes much sense xD

    I did take two days to farm mods for my arena team, actually I do not have two mods for cassian, so I definitely need it, my issue is that I am hurrying to get Ezra and then Hera for the trawn events, I read on the forum that it may come back next month, I fear that I farm mods I may lose my chance to get them, though I'm doing 3 canting refreshes daily thanks to arena. Thankfully I got lucky with the ewoks event free mods, and got myself an 18 speed secondary on the square and a few 12s, that's probably what has been helping me a lot in arena

    If you want Thrawn in arena, farm Phoenix now. Keep in mind that Thrawn needs an obscene amount of Carbanti Mk3 so you will not be able to gear him fully for at least two months (if you don't buy carbantis or have a stockpile of them already.

    Yeah my rebel team to get EP looks like Lando, Biggs Cassian all at 6*, plus Kanan and Ezra, those two are the only ones I can farm fast enough. So I am preparing for both legendary events trying to kill two birds with one stone, working on chomper right now, and gonna farm Hera after Ezra and Zeb after I get my fleet to an okay level.

    I did not know that Thrawn had that high of gear requirements, that's a bummer, it's gonna be hard to keep up gearing both arena and fleet arena toons

    That would be the ideal line up, I am gonna start farming Wedge as soon as I turn lvl 60, which should happen tomorrow. Its very challenging to farm and gear all the toons required for the different legendary events but a welcome one, GK is the one I see furthest away from unlocking

    GK takes a few months to unlock, but if you get into an HAAT guild now (many just require you spend 600 energy a day) you will have him well before you hit level 85. I would try finding an HAAT guild now if you feel like that's your goal.

    I joined an HAAT guild at level 70. Was the best decision I've made to date in this game.
