Is resistance trooper mandatory for an resistance team?

Zeta Finn, Poe, Resistance trooper.

Without those three you don't have a team.

No, not in arena. Finn poe R2 GK DN is much more reliable than with RT.

RT can make you win 3v5, but the counter attacks and the tenacity up makes it really difficult. And also all the taunts can destroy your strategy.

I play resistance in arena so... I know

Poe taunts and RT gains 100%TM then he tries expose or dispels taunt;
ofc R2 is obligatory for arena but I am saying that those 3 are needed everywhere

You can use the search function in this forum and see the numerous post and videos I made about Resistance.

Ok so what about Poe not exposing the pretaunt? What about the opponent R2 going first? What does your RT?

Not using them in arena,just the event thats coming.

My resistance troopah is 2 stars and i dont think i have time to farm him,my pilot is 7 .

I would stun him with han, unless enemy han would stun my han or even worse poe ^^ ; OK team with kenobi and nihilus is much more stable, it just... I do not feel resistance in it, kenobi and nihilus can be put into everything and it will work

+ I admit that trooper's AI is really bad so the same means that defense is bad
+ your example is about 2 things: poe not exposing taunter and enemy R2 resisting TM removal

But I see now teams having trooper as mandatory,do you think this is true for the event to come in december?Because there will be one resistance even in december 100%

You will most likely need Rey (Scavenger), Finn, BB-8, Vet Han, & Vet Chewie for the event. This is based off the team you had to fight in BB-8 event, similar to the team you had to fight in R2-D2 event. CG tries to give subtle hints. Its not 100% confirm, but its what I feel is the best hunch.

As for RT, yes need him for all Resistance teams to get the chain working.

HodieDM this type of event is journey, however there should be also a first order character

trooper is the third most important...you just need Finn, Poe and Trooper to play arena and win lol.

There's time when you expose an enemy, but enemy's turn comes first that you can't attack. Resistance Trooper' unique ability(gaining 55% TM whenever enemy is exposed) makes such case much less frequent.
When you can't expose an enemy and special abilities are in cooldown, Resistance Trooper exposing enemy with basic is the only one that can save you.
When facing pre-taunters(Baze, ShoreTrooper), you can either hope he gets killed fast enough, or simply dispel taunt with Resistance Trooper: latter the better. Similarly, when RNGesus curses you and Chirrut or Rex gives tenacity up to entire team, Resistance Trooper is the only one who got a chance, however slim, to turn the tide with his dispel.
TLDR : Resistance team can be formed without Resistance Trooper. But then, often you will regret you had Resistance Trooper in your team, cause he makes the team more stable and fail-safe.

About Arena, I can't say. Maybe GK and DN can replace Resistance Trooper, or maybe not.
