Is it okay to have a mixed squad?

Some mixed squads do okay in arena, but not as good as factions which have synergy.
Bring Zeb and/or Chopper to 5 stars in the next two and a half weeks so that you can get Thrawn. Level up Thrawn, Sion and Palpatine so that you can run Palp (L), Vader, Thrawn, Tarkin, and Sion. While you work on Sion, you can run Han or Boba in his place. Once you get a zeta, put it on Palp’s leadership.
Some other advice is to work on your mods. You’ll be surprised at how much farther you’ll climb in arena if you put your highest speed mods on your arena team. An easy way to get mods with secondary speed stats is from marquee events and assault battles if you don’t buy or farm them. If it has a speed secondary (or primary if it’s an arrow) then level it up to 15 and hope that the speed increases. 5 dot mods will have the strongest stats.
Hope this helps

A small correction, in order to save credits, don't level it up to lvl 15 and hope the speed increases. The secondary stats increase only at lvl 3, 6, 9 and 12 depending on its colour
So if it's a green mod - lvl 3, blue - lvl 6, purple - lvl 9, gold - lvl 12. If the speed has increases at one of these levels, then level it up to 15

Or just level it up to 12, the secondary stats are maxed at level 12, and saves you the most expensive 14-15 jump if they are not as good as hoped.

I like this squad because there are mixed synergies to benefit the different characters.

Not sure you understand synergies friend! Synergy (generally) comes from teams composed of characters of the same affiliation - Empire, Sith, Jedi for example. Mixing characters from different affiliations will result in zero synergy.

If I was you my Arena team would be - Wedge (lead), Biggs, OG Han, R2 and Leia. Huge offensive team right there. Maybe swap Leia for Kanan if you feel you need a tank...bear in mind R2 is something of a "pseudo" tank already.

I have seen 2 and only 2 mixed squads work in Arena.

Rex(L) +4 OP toons...been around 4ever

JTR(L) +4 Droids holds it's own quite well

Yes, Hoda and Wampa get splashed here and there, but discounting those 2...see above.

Ah yes, forgot about that. You can level it up to fifteen if it is an arrow with a speed primary though.

This except you want to eventually farm nihilas to replace Tarkin. And most mixed squads don't work. You're much better ofc with a lower power squad with good synergies than just usining your 5 highest power toons. Regardless of what arena team you choose put your best mods on them and prioritize them for gear, zetas, and and stars if needed. If you do that with the squad suggested, you'll have the g12 in a few months and then you'll probably be in the top 10 instead of the top 2000. I run ep, vader, sion, nihilas, and thrawn all g12 with full zetas and still finish 3rd most days in arena in a nov 2016 shard. The first two spots are traya teams with really good mods and are a pain btw.

JTR(L) + R2 + BB8 +2 works quite well without two other droids. GK, Thrawn, CLS, Raid Han, Enfy, etc.

I have a very specific mixed squad I use in P2/P3/P4 pic the tank raid. It's Ventress lead, Leia, Fulcrum, Ahsoka and Chirrut. I keep buffs on, tenacity up, and get the crit bonus from Leia on. It devastates the tank and is good for 1-1.5 million in P3.

Why wouldn't be?I use Rex as lead,CLS,Han Solo,Nest and Palp and this team is lots of fun against Palp lead teams.
