I have close to 40 zetas (considering zeta qui fin and zeta R2) and my Jedi are coming along pretty well, and I think I'll do much better in arena if I have a Jedi team. However, I'm concerned about the effect this rebel influx will have on them. Has anybody with a Jedi team had trouble facing all the rebels? I'm curious if I'd be better off forgetting about Jedi and should start working on rebels, as I thankfully did get CLS, however the rest of my rebels besides R2 are mostly g8

I run Jedi in arena and do decently. Top 250+ and will jump more after my next zeta. I love using them; they're so fun and can be very powerful. Another thing to think about: Jedi are due for a faction pass. They have gone untouched throughout the rise of nihilus and are still able to compete, but many of their kits are old and outdated and just bad in general. Mace desperately needs a rework, possibly making him anti-sith as a response to so many anti-Jedi sith. I think the devs recognize how rebel-heavy the game is atm, and I think they'll start to focus on other groups now.

Jedi are absolutely viable but only if you runthe right ones. QGJ, Anikin, Ezra, Yoda, Aayla plus a few others. Most other Jedi are rubbish.

Run: zQGJ (L) JKA/Ezra R2 (zeta number crunch) Yoda and General Kenobi, and you will be fine, other than that, there are better investments

I run Jedi and tbh no they aren't.The added speed the newer toons have alongisde the fact that most of them clear tenacity up and ignore foresight makes Jedi next to useless in arena now, if you can speed them up fast - my slowest is around 210 speed before qgj lead adds another 30 to it) then you can float around 20-50ish but that's as far as you will go. Looking to change as soon as I can get the right team geared up and moddedMy team qgj Zeta, anakin, yoda, GK, Aayla

Jedi still viable with the rebel pass?

Biggest thing about Jedi, as many have mentioned before, is SPEED! Not only because it helps get you in front of the Sith assassins, Poes, etc of the Arena, but with QGJ's zeta gives you more offense. Yoda is the one to give the most to, to give you Tenacity up, but GK is just as important.

I'm currently running with zQGJ, GK, Anakin, R2D2z, and Yoda. Ezra can definitely be a better bet in place of Anakin, and if you have Aayla she also works well unless she's one of your slower Jedi. I modded her Crit Chance to 60+% to give her more stun opportunities, when I had her in the Lineup. GK is crucial to being in even the top 100.

@Lightwalker without R2 Jedi struggle a little and that's why your not getting ranked higher. Also Anakin with all the counter Rebels and Rex TM = shooting yourself in the foot.

What do you mean with the anakin and Rex comment? I use Anakin under Rex and it is pretty effective. JKA could use another small rework or simply some synergy with GK, but his unique is priceless for me in arena.

●Chewbacca in a rebel team (Another rebel :'( )
●Gear 12 (Nothing new)
●HRS has got 3 uniques (Rework?)
●TB have a timer
●The new health bar design

Biggest success I had w/ Jedi...took 1st on a launch shard at payout daily...

zQGJ (L), Ezra, GK, zzR2, Aayla.

Ani exposes himself too much and counters against his aoe bring a swift death.

Yoda just doesn't have enuf damage.

Plo's dispel is cool but Ezra and QGJ dispel. I like his tm manipulation...but again, not enuf damage.

Regarding Ani and expose, yes it is a pain but if you are smart about it, you can avoid getting into trouble. I try to use it while in stealth or when I can afford to be reckless given the situation. Basically, if I am going to kill a dude or two, I'll take the expose gladly.

Plus I try and keep his cc as high as I can. It works

Yeah I use cc mods and it really helps prevent those exposes. Also he's so tanky that (at least in my experience) he doesn't get destroyed by an expose unless someone unleashes a super powerful attack. And of course he also has the chance to grant offense up, always a bonus

Anakin is so good if you use him right. I don't even run Jedi and he has been on my arena squad for a really long time. There might be better options, but for me, having a tanky attacker that still hits hard and has a unique ability like his is hard to replace

Got confused by that as you @ me asking about @Big_Boss answer.

Big boss my main problem with r2 is getting the zetas to actually Zeta him - my drop rate for them is currently 23 in 6 months, it is so shocking I had to resort to buying them from ship store! But yeah I agree he is needed in a Jedi team!

Am using anakin for the ability block on Gks and Baze which allows me to kill other members of the team.
