Let's talk Solo toons...

No forget Nest with Solo movie toons you want all them you see here (Qi'ra, Young han, Young Lando, L3 and Vandor Chew) Because of the Prepared thats where lando shines number one he hits hard but #2 his zeta almost guarantees hell keep getting prepared (almost every trurn) and with that you can give prepare to everyone else with prepares on everyone Young han will murder everyone, l3 zeta is not useful for this team at all its for droid only. van chewys zeta will keep raising people if he has prepare... again which why young lando is so valuable

Well, since posting the OP a few months ago, I have indeed geared them all up considerably:
https://swgoh.gg/p/792672567/characters/?f=Smuggler

I ran Qi'ra, Vandor, Han, L3 ,and Chewie for a while in Arena, but that team absolutely cannot beat Revan or Traya. A few notes on what I found:

-Young Han is a Raid-Wrecker. Most useful for Tank raid, but also good for P2 on Sith Raid. Other than that, erm, he's kinda lackluster in PvP.
-Young Lando is almost entirely worthless, except his ship. Lando's Falcon is basically a Coup de grâce to the enemy fleet if called in as the third reinforcement. Three immediate turns while dispelling buffs and debuffs. Still viable against any/all fleets, and an absolute wrecker of the new MF.
-Range Trooper might be the BEST solo toon. I toppled a full G12 zzzRevan team in the last TW with zVeers, Starck, Deathtrooper, Shore, Range. Range Trooper makes the Imperial Troopers team SCARY good.
-L3 is a beast of a tank, but not really PvP viable with all of the Revan going around.

Overall, the smugglers they are a solid team that can surprise people in TW, and can be useful in other parts of the game, but not anything top tier. I would compare them very closely to Phoenix, where a full G12 team with zetas can easily be underestimated, and Lando's Ship is a really great overlooked ship.

Landos ship is awesome. Since HMF I have started calling him 2nd instead of Cassian if I have breach on one of my ships. His cleanse, buffs, debuffs, and wipes are random, but they have turned the tide of many battles. And he can 2 shot a full health HMF.

As for the toons, I still hold top 100 in arena even with all of the new Revans, but they are just for fun. Hopefully Beckett will make them more arena viable.

And if droids are about to get a rework, watch out for L3. She is a spectacular tank.

@VonZant, I've started gearing/starring the solo toons primarily from your posts showing their capabilities. Haven't been disappointed yet.

I'll also second that Range might be the best of the ones released so far. He makes Troopers much more viable at lower gear levels than before.

People are figuring them out now, so they can be beaten, but if you stick them in middle zone in TW or back zone in GA and the enemy uses their JTRs and EP teams before they get there, it's a tough beat.

Double tank they are fine on Defense because Vandor. Single tank, better to use them on O because the AI CANNOT properly use the prepared mechanic.

I have to say Young Lando is growing on me. Even outside of the Solo squads his cleanse, stealth and Speed up buff are very useful. I havent found the perfect use for him yet but hes got promise.

I still havent geared Range yet. But he has made some of my guildys trooper teams pretty awesome.

VonZant is the forum's resident scoundrel expert and helped me groom this team. I went from 250 to 100-ish with this team and I still stayed here even with the influx of Revan teams.

I had a variation of zQira and zVandor during the last normal TW and it was the team that had the most defenses.

So far, the SOLO toons have been helpful everywhere except for Sith raid but that's admittedly because I don't know where/how to use them in the Sith raid.

Fyi they can do 2M + in phase 2 and 3 of T6 Sith. More if you add Mission. I saw a heroic video where they got 5M.

Is it that annoying Salad Bar video? Qira, Young Han, Zaalbar, Mission, and Hermit Yoda lineup?

L3 is amazing in most squads. Amazing toon. You can even run her with sith in arena. VC is another stud. I would ran the toons Enfys>L3>VC>Range after that things get meh. Move on to Bigz and Mission after those 4

I'm still working on them myself (most are at 5 or 6 stars, g10–g11), but I kinda love them.

Qira, VanChew, L3, Nest, Zaalbar make an great TW defensive team.

This or a variant (St Han, Yolo could swap for Zaalbar or Nest) are a pretty reliable LS TB team, autoable at lower phases. They just have so much staying power.

They also have some pretty nice raid potential, I think: Qira, VanChew, StHan, Yolo, and a fifth scoundrel (Mission? Zaalbar for armor shred? Both?) do respectably well in STR p2. StHan shovels tons of TM to the rest, and all the protection regen (from VanChew, Yolo) keeps him in good shape. If you lose someone, VanChew brings them back (have not regretted that zeta at all). Sub in L3 for StHan for a heal in p1/p4. A zeta on Yolo would likely make them not just decent but very good, but I haven't splurged for his zeta yet.

Yolo himself fits into a nice HAAT team: AA, CLS, BB-8, Hoda, Yolo. McMole2 has soloed the entire HAAT with this team. Since I don't have those insane mods and am not going to move mods just for a raid, I can't solo but I can either get 15 mil (p1 and half of p2) or 25 mil (all of p3 and p4). It's not wampanader, but it's not too shabby.

L3 herself is pretty versatile. I've seen video of L3 subbing in for OB on a Chewie rebels team, and she works nicely.

You're right thought that Young Lando seems like the odd one ought who hasn't found a place except as a pilot.

I like them all but have not tested Lando much yet. Vandor and L3 are one of the best combos in the game. Ive posted lots about them.

Ive run them once in T4 P2 of Sith Raid and yeah, Yolo is awesome. This is my only try so far and I made lots of mistakes. They can do way better.
