Need help for Jedi team (yes, i know)

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/Bariss

Maybe 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?

    So here's what I use in my Jedi team:
    Zeta Qui Gon
    Jedi Knight Anakin
    Ahsoka Tano
    Aayla Secura
    CLS/R2/Barriss
    With this, I've been able to breeze through Light Hard, Galactic War, and Territory Battles. Ahsoka Crits for 20k-30k depending on if she has offense up. Anakin hits for 20k, Barriss keeps the health up, CLS adds even more damage, and R2 adds survivability, like Barriss. Qui Gon dispels and hits for around 12k, while my Aayla with mods has around 87% potency. All around I definitely need General Kenobi for arena but this is a great line up for everything else outside of arena for now.

    Up until I unlocked GK, my team was: zQGJ (L), zBarriss, zYoda, JKA and Ezra. Now that I unlocked GK, this is what it looks like: zQGJ (L), zYoda, Ezra, GK and Aayala.
    In the old Sith meta JKA was better cause he would stop the stealthing. Now, with CLS leads running rampant, I find Aayala a better choice, for 2 reasons: Stunning prevents assists from the other players; JKA AoE under the AI would probably do more harm than good in the long run, so I swapped him.
    I definetely dont win all my battles - specially now with GXII - but I manage to stay top 50 overnight, which is cool with me.

    Yea sounds like my plan, only with old ben until i get GK. and maybe once i have R2 swap him in for yoda, we'll see. Thanks though for all the good help and comments!

    I didn't read through the triple but I held great ranks in arena using this team.

    zQGJ Lead
    Anakin
    GK (could be replaced with Old Ben)
    Ezra
    R2D2

    The idea is to get everyone's speed as high as possible because under zQGJ lead, characters gain additional offence based on their speed. Because they get so much foresight they are great against any squad whether it be PVP or PVE.

    Also leveling these toons would do great for when you eventually unlock Hermit Yoda.

    If AOE is too risky to use these days due to CLS and Chaze, then what about:

    zQGJ
    R2 (his AOE will normally be after his stealth)
    GK
    Ezra
    Ahsoka

    Just spitballing ideas since I'm also planning a move to Jedi, and I don't have CLS to drop into the squad.

    my plan for now, until high level, was

    QGJ lead, with zeta ASAP

    GM Yoda, maybe another zeta as soon as i can

    Ezra

    Old Ben until GK

    and for fifth spot options mentioned were aayla, ahsoka (which i both have and can push, ahsoka having a ship is a pro) Lumi which i almost have on 7* at least for next yoda event

    Anakin is too hard right now to farm, i can do his nodes but it will be long time until he is high enough. Barris seems only to be viable with zeta, so thats a long way too.

    As i said, its okay if i just stay in top200 arena, but can do other stuff like GW and LS/Cantina Battles.

    Some things, then:
    1) Zeta for QGJ is your priority right now, Jedis reach a whole new level with his lead;
    2) GM Yoda: I held off getting his zeta, which was not a good idea, because of the CD reduction and because it applies Foresight even if you didnt have it before. Totally worth it;
    3) Ezra is probably the most consistent heavy hitter Jedis have, so yeah, go with him;
    4) Old Ben after his buff is tanky as heck and if I didnt have GK already, I would certainly invest on him. Good job;
    5) Aayala and Ahsoka are good choices, and both these toons I have maxed. However, I find Ashoka too squishy for my taste, and she doesnt really do anything besides hitting hard. Aayala, on the other hand, has a lot of possible interactions (coolest one being you use Ezra assist on her, then when she hits with her basic she has a chance to call an assister too, its glorious). I'd go with Aayala. Dont mess with Lumi, she is horrible;
    6) Yeah, Barriss is only good with her zeta, but her zeta rocks a lot. But you dont need healers in Arena, so keep that in mind. The best places for healers to help you are GW and now TB.

    Hope it helps.

    Cool, thanks. i will prioritize Aayala then and leave Lumi for GW. Maybe using nodes for Barriss as much as i can and push her a bit outside of the others.

    Sounds like a plan.
    Also keep in mind that Hermit Yoda looks like he will bring a full Jedi team to the very top, so be sure you aim for him on the way (and by that I mean farm the toons needed for TB).
