Is this team meta?

It ist not meta per definition ... but it works very good:

I prefere R2 because Revan ignores taunt but cannot ignore Smoke Screen what I need to force Revan to mark my tank (R2)

Why do you prefer Old Ben over R2?

I'm going to re-post something I put on Reddit a little while ago, responding to this same sort of question, with a few additional notes:

I use a variation of the traditional CLS team - CLS/3PO/Han/Chewie/Thrawn. It works basically the same as has been mentioned here, but I think fracturing GMY makes it easier:

Hit Jolee with Han (this gives your team 15% TM from CLS's leader zeta, letting your fastest go next - should be CLS)

Use Call to Action while targeting GK

Remove TM from Revan with CLS

Use OMG on GK, calling Han as your assist (CLS will come too)

Dispel with Chewie

Fracture GMY (this will only work if you have IBAT zeta'd, as Thrawn won't gain TM from CLS's lead, but he will from IBAT)

Kill GMY (He comes back with Savior, but is still fractured)

Kill Jolee

Kill Revan, then everyone else. Bastila is usually last. GMY should probably follow Revan, but sometimes it has to be GK.


My CLS has 307 speed and Thrawn has 298. I can beat up to 320 speed Revans this way. Sometimes turn order doesn't work quite right due to RNG and you have to improvise. Not usually a problem unless Chewie manages to sneak in front of 3PO, so you want to make sure Chewie is slow enough that he doesn't hit 100% TM at the same time as 3PO. You should mod him for offense, more than speed - low 220s works.

Working on applying best mods, currently based on speed secondary and sets

Have Old Ben, and applicable mod set to apply, I’ll test that aswell

By definition, it's not Meta, however it is the 2nd best squad behind Revan right now.

Offensively it can compete in high end arena without a doubt... I was taking #1 with this team before I switched to GG team... (which now I take #1 with... but they pretty much fall into the same boat)

It requires a specific turn or actions to be effective and will drop defensively because the AI isn’t as smart about using them...

... and you will be a target for others because you aren’t running the “cliche” team that everyone else is using...

So take that with a grain of salt...

But climbing ranks is easy and more efficient than using the same Revan team as everyone else... and is also more gratifying in my opinion. :)

What’s the Zeta order for this team?

If u put trawn instead of r2 it have a better chance against revan too but basically cls, chewie, han 3po alone can beat everything but revan 100%
The Z order imo should be something like cls ibat, han double shot, chewaca guard and also cls leader (just against revan), then 3po assist.

Outside of majority Revan teams?

If you have your team modded correctly you could have guard on CLS and raid Han and old Ben would be better than r2
