Is c3po the best stand alone toon?

I think C3PO has taken over best stand alone toon form enfys/thrawn/whoever.

I think he belongs in the following squads for arena and makes them all viable at top end.

Revan
Ewoks
CLS
Droids
RJT

I think he may prove the following as viable as well

Rex Mix
GK Zarris
AA

  • I see a Jolee at rank 4. Doesn't make him the best standalone character.
  • How and why would they make C3PO so important? The only awesome thing about C3PO in canon was its persistence and helpfulness.

    I'm sure he's good enough to level for tw or ga and probably raids. Though I'm skeptical he'll be good in arena. The high tenacity of jedi and the self cleansing of traya teams would make 3PO less effective against those teams.

    Even if it beats everything else, so what. If you can't beat revan or traya, the team isn't arena viable at this point.


    The rebel team I’ve been running lately in arena (CLS (L), Han, Chewie, R2 & STHan) struggled hard vs Revan...

    Now with 3PO in STHan’s place (don’t judge how awesome STHan was in that team with his zeta until you’ve tried it) I can easily beat Revan teams...

    I moved up to #1 today with little effort (although I was sniped right before payout ?)

    Traya is now an easy auto win with 3PO in that team...

    We'll see obviously. But it really depends on mods. I run ep lead with traya and beat other traya teams and can beat most revan teams just by putting in tarkin lead to make my thrawn faster. It really comes down to mods.
  • Mods play a role always... mine are pretty solid but when I see people posting pics of +160 speed I realize maybe I’m not so awesome :(

    Best stand alone character?

    No way...

    His skill set is somewhat restricted to gain the most benefit from his abilities... you need to utilize him with other characters that gain from his benefits

    Best in a particular setup?

    It’s looking that way...

    A lot of experimentation still needs to be done to find the “optimal” use for him...

    It will be fun to try out some new crazy ideas :)
