If you guys try any of this nonsense yourself, let me know, and I'll keep you posted! And let's all cross our fingers and toes for a Jedi rework in the next few months!
I've been running zQGJ, JKA, Ezra, Hermit Yoda, and GK...all are maxxed G12 except HY because I haven't bothered to take him to 7 star yet. Basically they're garbage. I've been pondering gearing up Aayla and rotating out JKA because I think his AOE is more of a liability than its worth on defense, but, I can't justify wasting the gear at the moment.
Against CLS teams you generally get hurt more in counter attacks than you can hope to do off your attacks when you hit CLS or Han and when you hit R2 he'll stun you. Plus they'll wreck you when they start spreading out the slow and stuns and the only debuffs you get are JKA's...which usually get promptly removed if they have a zeta R2.
Against JTR teams you will generally never do enough damage to put them down before BB8 puts them into super buff mode.
Against NS teams w/acolyte cheese you can usually do alright thanks to JKA AOE...I guess here it will really depend on how good their Acolyte is. This was one of the reasons I went JKA over Aayla, but since the EP/DV reworks most the NS on my shard have disappeared.
Against EP/DV teams I've actually been doing pretty well. Vader will get first move and waste his AOE on your foresight. After that its just a matter of wrecking their EP before he lays out a bunch of stuns. People running tankless EP teams are super easy...most the rest will either have shore or sith trooper...so you just play accordingly. I doubt it works like this on defense because the AI would never be smart enough to focus EP down lol. Disclaimer though...I massively outmod most the teams I face and I don't think all the EPs are zetad...I'm hovering 50-100 in arena...if I were fighting EP/DV squads with similar mods I'd probably be getting wrecked as I doubt I'd so easily pick off EP with a Jedi squad before they even get to move.
Just another disclaimer...I plan on switching to EP/DV squad soon, and I'll be top 20 on my shard again. Jedi are really, really bad right now, and they're going to get even worse when people start getting Traya. Most of your damage comes from attacking out of turn...in my squad for example, Ezra, QGJ, GK, and HY all have assist attacks and they'll all be damaging themselves for assisting vs Traya. If I switch to Aayla that's another one. To top it off they don't have any of the top tier pilots/ships either. Jedi are pretty dead now, and once people get Traya, unless Jedi get some heavy reworks and boosts, Jedi will become such a bad faction that they'll actually just be a newbie trap to see how many foolish newbies will waste gear on them.
