My main arena team:5* lvl76 Gr9 EP (L), 5* Gr10 lvl76 Vader , 7* Gr10 lvl76 Kylo, 7* Gr9 lvl76 Sidious (Recently replaced Sid with Cpt. Phasma) 7* Gr9 lvl76 Old DakaSTUN! STUN! STUN! With some DOTs sprinkled in for some flavor. This team of mines stuns the hell out of the opposing team, Barely letting them take a turn. My MOD priority stats are health, speed & potency.This team is serving me well so far. I went from being ranked in the 1000s to the 450-500s and currently ranked 306 and hovering in that range. I'm only level 76 and nowhere near ready to even farm zetas. I think that's decent progress and I don't even have any zetas yet, YET!!! I just omega my first ability on my sidious so I'm not at the optimal level that I'm aiming for. Lately, the meta is Zmaul, Zader, Zavage and high speed Rebel wedge teams so just maybe this will shake the meta a little bit. I do not see teams like mines lately. All I see is the usual meta copy cat teams i.e wedge/Biggs, Zader, Zmaul and Zavage. That's the meta and I figured I would go a different route. (Fingers Crossed) i am very content with my progress but I'm interested in any constructive criticism, advice, thoughts. I like to think I'm shaking up the meta but that may just be all in my head.... lmao! Flag Quote

You won't get much further with that team. Any setup with a dispeller and/or tenacity up buff would destroy you. Also, a fast dps teams would wipe you before you move. The meta, is the most effective tactic available. That team is most certainly, not the most effective tactic available, and actually is far from it because I don't think you could break top 100 with that team. Shaking up the meta would be introducing a team to the top of a shard at end game, and it performing well against the current meta teams. That team wouldn't stand a chance.

I hear what you're saying and I understand that. I'm ranked 287 currently and climbing. The way you are talking, little ole me and my stun team should not be anywhere near where I am currently. Only time will tell! I'm hoping I can prove you wrong. Although, despite what you are saying I am making progress and when I am in the top 100 I'll see what you say then. At the moment, I am focusing on getting my Jedi team to 7*s so can unlock my 7* yoda. Once that's over my credits and other resources will be going into my main arena team. GAME ON!

I don't feel like there's a whole lot of cleansers/tenacity uppers in that area so although it'll never be meta, it could certainly work out for what he or she wants

It's not a bad concept but without tons of speed on all your characters I don't see it going much past top 100, main reason is you'll be targeted heavily on defense because it's a different team, every wiggs out there will 1 shot your palp on the very first move if you aren't fast enough. If you could take maybe sid out and add a pretaunt it would do better even rg imo would be better since you are planning your strategy around stuns.

I like that! I thought about that with Sid which is why I swapped him out with Cpt. phasma. Phasma has great synergy with kylo and she benefits from potency from palpatine. The taunting idea is solid and speed is crucial I try to put speed where ever I can

Introducing the Stun Meta! MAYBE! Thoughts?

If you want to run a disabler stun team, you need to run Dooku and B2. I suggest you do Dooku, B2, EP, Daka, Boba. Anyway, it is a fun team for where you are, but if you want to hang out in top 10, that team will not get a single turn before dying.

Nice! I do have B2 at 6*s. My progress with B2 has slowed down due to my prep for the upcoming yoda event. Unfortunately, I haven't looked in dooku's way. I see his annoying efficiency but I don't have him. I'm nowhere near even thinking of top ten but I hear you. I would be happy just breaking into the top 100. Just to shut up the naysayers. To see the confused look on the naysayers faces when they come across my stun team, lose then be like "WTF! Just happened" lol! Sounds funny to me.

The idea of having a all-in in some specific spot is not good because you're going to lack on something. For exemple, you're weakness in here is the lack of dispeller. Whatever you can do with stun, a single taunter will ruin it, because except with EP, you will not be able to stun the other. Plus, stun and speed down can be an asset but also the worst thing in your case : you stun and speed down the taunter, the other are going to kill your entire team while you will be locked on one guy.

Plus, you're lacking of versatility.

And that is exactly why I suggested B2 =)

That droid is useful all the way up to rank 1 in arena, so you don't have to worry about wasting resources when gearing it.

I would go as far as to say don't bother running stun unless you have Dooku. His stun on basic/counter plus force lightning makes him a king of stun. He is also viable in the top end of arena currently.

I run a dodge / counter / stun team and have a lot of success vs wiggs, which my shard is overrun with (pre-zeta) I'm level 80. I don't know how you judge a squad ranked 300 in your shard. It has potential at lower levels, but I don't see it holding up vs the top of your shard.
I run Dooku(L), Aayla, QGJ, Boba, and Sun Fac (Boba needs a lot of speed to go first)
Most of the top 20 are Wedge, Biggs, STHan, Boba, and EP
