Hey,i started in July and have been using Phoenix Squad which i really like and still use because it is awesome for LS/Cantina/GW. But since they are all (except Sabine) 7* G8, i started to make my mind on who to push next for my main Team. Since Phoenix was nice to start, but won't be my main team. I only wanna do Palp and Thrawn event with them actually.So, since i always was a fan of the Jedi (who wasn't) i like to do a Team with them and its wonderful to know my favorite one QGJ is actually a good one. But who else? Since GK is way out of my league right now, my plan is like this:QGJ as leader, GM Yoda (only 6* cause my Team wasnt all 7* last time the event came), Old Ben (as long as GK is out of reach), Ezra and Lumi/BarissMaybe i can get R2 next time he comes around and can work him in for Yoda.I know i will never be top in Arena with this, but <200 is enough for me right now. But it should at least be viable for GW and Cantina/LS Matches. So, any advice? Is this totally wrong? I just don't want to play Rebel like everyone does.my Profile is https://swgoh.gg/u/ryanphoenix/collection/maybe you can help me out with this.Oh and btw, do you think i can do EP and Thrawn event with my Phoenix team? I read that Thrawn is quite tough, yo maybe need g9?

Also, i have another question about guilds. ist it possible or advisable to open my own guild just to do the lower rank raids? because the gear i need are in the lower ranks right now, but my guild does only hRancor raids, which is ok, i can throw some toons in, but i cant really do anything other than die and get some stuff out of my (very low) rank that i dont need (yet). so is it a way, to create my own and use lower raids? until i can participate on higher ones? or does it take too long to farm enough tokens to start a raid alone?

Best Jedi team with what you have;Qui gon leadYodaEzraKananAayla (you want to gear her)Best jedi team to go for:Qui gon leadHermit Yoda EzraGen KenR2And for Phoenix gear 8 with good mods is usually the minimum, but if you can get Ezra to 9+ that'll help

Long term, a good Jedi team that still does well on offense on arena is qgj lead (zeta), bariss with a zeta, Anakin, Ezra, and gk. As you stated, go is far off right now, so til then, you can try to work on aayla or grand Master Yoda for now.

I don't think Hoda is in my reach, same with GK. So are Barriss and Old Ben viable alternatives? Right now im working on OB, cause i think he is a better tank than Kanan, outside of Phoenix squad. is Aayla better than anything else in my reach? JKA or Barriss are farmable.What i mean is, with what i have Phoenix is still best, but i want to build a Jedi team for the future, just not with GK or Hermit or anything else i can't reach.

And Aayla is better than Anakin, calling assists, stunning on crits, and counters

Need help for Jedi team (yes, i know)

Ok, guess i will work on QGJ, Ezra, Ben, Yoda and Aayla then. Maybe, when i can get Zeta, i watch out for Barriss. And who knows, maybe some day i can get GK.

That sounds like a solid plan

Quit your current guild and join an HAAT guild. It's the only way to run a top 20 viable jedi squad.

Reason for this is GK. You need him as Jedi aren't the best on defense, and lack damage. Your best bet is either:

zQGJ, GK, zYoda, zzR2 and JKA

Or

GK, zBarriss, zzR2, zzCLS and Raid Han/Thrawn/Jedi Ahsoka

You have to have a tanky, crit eating squad or a super speedy, DPS squad. They are the only things that hold on defense in todays meta.

Thank you, but as i said, i don't need to be top 20 in Arena, i am fine with Top 200 to always get 800 token a day. I just like Jedi and don't want to use the rebel wiggs, chaze meta, everyone else has. And since "bad boys" are not my style, sith and/or empire are out too.

I don't think any hAAT Guild will take me, since i can't really help them with it. But i will consider this later, once i reach 80+ or even 85.

If OP is on a newer shard I'd really recommend JKA over Aayla. I've been playing like 3-4 months so I'm on a pretty new shard and almost every team I fight in the arena has Chaze in it and/or is Wedge lead(either Wiggs/Chaze/+1 or Wiggs/Lando/STH/Boba type teams). JKA has been invaluable for me thanks to his buff/healing immunity debuffs. Its helpful when STH wastes his taunt because he has buff immunity, Chaze don't heal ridiculous amounts off counters, Lando doesn't full heal every time he AOEs, etc. Sure Anakin doesn't counter or call assists but he still gets extra attacks and damage with his unique and can hand out offense up with his special, both of which will bring more damage to your squad.
