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!

That team wouldn't stand a chance.The op wants to hang out near the top 100 range with this squad. 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

Change Daka for Kylo and it could actually work. Phasma and Aayla have surprisingly good synergy.

I do not have Dooku or Aayla u locked and my RG is 4*s I think. It's something to consider though. I suppose there's more than one way to assemble a stun team. I'm in a very old and competitive shard. The teams above me are rock solid. I'm glad I'm where I am steadily above rank 500. Which is pretty good since most seem to look at my team and expect an easy win then to be like WTF.

It also works but Daka can stun 1-2 enemies on her basic and Kylo needs to use his special ability to stun an enemy. Plus, Kylo loses his stun ability when he reaches below 100% HP.

This shows you do not have Zylo maxed.
Zylo resets his CDs more often than not, so he stuns pretty much all the time.
And when he gets under 100% HP, he does not stun - but he crits in 40k range, which is the best stun you can have - permastun... Not to mention 100% chance vs 60 + 55% ... Daka really does not have a chance in this comparison.

Daka's stun is better than Kylo's because when Daka is called to assist by Phasma's leader ability, she will inflict stun whereas Kylo will just inflict Healing Immunity and Damage Over Time. I don't have a maxed Kylo but I know what he does when he is maxed. However, Kylo is better than Daka generally, give him a Zeta and he is a monster.

Kylo has always been on my arena team. Phasma synergizes well with kylo. I enjoy how EP and Daka stun like crazy and then there's Vader. I like my team. I'm steady at or well above rank 500. Despite my team has no zetas, it's only level 76 and Glvl8-9. I think that's pretty good

I've already posted here my stun team: Assajj L, Daka, RG (or Yoda), DN, Barriss. And i'm still in top20 at 82lvl in my shard.

I have 3 toons with stan on their basic attack, so they can't be blocked. Taunt (especially double) is a problem, but i have dispell on dM's basic attack and Assajj's AOE dispell.

Stun team ususually lacks of damage, but DN's annihilate is enough to beat any toon. And double healings from Barriss and Daka, and double protection from Barriss and RG/Yoda helps to keep him alive.

Planning to put first zeta on Barriss.

It looks pretty useless to me. On my shard, i see this being ineffective. Top 50 would be a miracle.

My shard is quite young, we have no zeta yet. Arena top50 have mixed rebels and sith squads. And i usually have no problem countering them with stun team.
