JKA overrated?

He has a good solid kit and is useful in high health retaliation teams. But you are right that the meta has shifted under him a bit with chirrut, baze and shore trooper. However no character is truly useless. A Jedi team is a good starter in tournies and jka is an essential part of the p1 Jedi squad for the aat raid. So not that useful in arena these days but you'll need him elsewhere.

I'm in the same boat, he's a long farm and I gradually built a team of Rex (L), Sun Fac, JKA, Fives and Aayla.

In a typical arena fight, he does AoE then gets dropped. I've have a bunch of crit-chance and potency mods on him too.

Any suggestions on a replacement for that line up?

you can't just slap him in a squad and call it good especially before gear 11. He shines in tanky counter squads where the battle will go long and his extra turns can take over the match. Sun fac, Rex, anakin etc. Biggs and wedge are so ridiculous some of the shine has come off because it's simply easier on offense to instagib everything but still a top 10 pvp toon IMO.

Gotta be G11... before he starts to shine..

He was real good relatively speaking when he was G11 and not many other toons could be, I feel like a lot of toons have caught up and surpassed him since then. Still a good addition to any team that doesn't need synergy.

His leader ability was “outstanding“ when he came out and he is stagnant because other toons are on his level aka on par with him now. He had gear level advantage which is now gone. Similar case was with GS but I still use GS in Phasma-led team easily.

I have JKA fully moded and gear XI. He hits 10k+ in basic and AOE. With attack bonus, the damage reaches 15K+. It is useful for almost anything, AOE team, Jedi team, GW, AAT raid. I will not say that he is the best hero in the game, but he is definitely a hero worth having.

And gets tons of extra attacks. And he has a great leader ability. And highly useful in any group. And a great base attack with awesome debuffs. Ya he is horrible...

I've seen his aoe crit for up to 15k per toon and it has a fairly low cooldown that is made lower by the extra attacks he generates. His basic hits for similar numbers while inflicting buff and heal immunity. He has a very good skill set and I think he's one of the best toons in the game

I have Anakin 5* almost to G10, I use Old Ben lead, JKA, QGJ, Sidious and Lando but I'm going to be switching Sidious with Ahsoka shortly because her and Anakin work awesome together! I personally love Anakin. I just reached level 80 and that team gets me through GW and now into the 100 ranks of my arena.

Current team: Ben(L), Lando, Biggs, Rey, B2. I change things a bit depending on the opponent like Palp(L) but that's the core team. All 7* gearX. They all are more effective then Anakin. I've tried using him in multiple different teams, as leader, etc.. Bottom line my arena team suffers when he's in the team. They are all on similar power mods as well. Without him I'm in the top30. With him I struggle to stay top50. My Wedge is almost ready to go in the team. Then I hope to move up more.
