In a video discussing the changes being made to Finn, I heard mobilegamer say that he's never taken his resistance team to G12 and wouldn't do it....As resistance trooper is/was one of my upcoming side projects, mobilegamer's comment made me wonder if my energy would be better spent elsewhere..?I have a G12 jedi training rey, and G11 R2 and BB-8. Scavenger rey is geared enough to get jedi rey and same goes for Finn....I don't think I was going to gear them all to G12, but now I wonder if they're worth investing anything in..?What are your thoughts?

Nothing about res has gone obsolete except a glitch in HAAT and p 3 HSTR

When people call a team "bad" or "useless" or "obsolete," what they really mean is "this team cannot take #1 in squad arena." Which is true of 95% of the characters in the game at any given time. Resistance was already ousted from top arena spots a long time ago, but they're fine everywhere else and still do great in raids.

Once they start getting TW bonuses, then you'll know they're obsolete. Im sure they'll be meta again when episode 9 comes out round christmas of 2019!

Is Resistance (becoming) obsolete?

Sorry, I meant to compare it to recent metas. CLS and Revan when released absolutely dominated arena, I mean look at how many Revans are top 50 on your shard. Traya was very dominant as well. But JTR in my shard never had a firm position, although meta, she seemed relatively easy to conquer. That’s why you hardly see any JTR teams in arena now.

On my shard, JTR teams didn't start getting beat until Palp and Vader reworks and Sion came out (with his added synergy to Nihilus). Before that, it seemed like it was all JTR. If CLS was contending at all, I don't remember. Only one person was competing with a different team...he used a gimmick where he did Palp's health drain thing and then probe droid could blow up on the first turn. But his squad fell in 30 seconds on defense.

RJT came out in December of 2017 and the EP/Vader reworks happened in February of 2018. She had like 1.5 months as being the top leader for squad arena. However, she was still viable until 7* Traya and/or Revan came around and I could take 1 with her until then.

Not sure if Finn led resistance is still going to be a thing in the future of TW/GA (maybe), I'd need to test and see for myself.
Finn looks promising though for raids with his stacking damage and RT is still a must have for JTR in the sith raid.

RT is also one of the easiest gear ups. You can't really go wrong with it as RT has an important role in JTR teams as well. He won't become useless just because he might not work that well under Finn lead from now on.

I used a fast JTR Resistance team to eviscerate a Revan team last TW.....
Plus I reckon Finn will stil have a place.....but on a JTR team! Instead of sRey

If they nerf finn this way im done with my zfinn lead squad, this kit looks great under jtr leader though... So finn Z would become a total waste but under jtr i think he will shine in raids.
