New Account - Pao Rebels (No, seriously).

Returning player, giving the game another shot since seeing the character cadence in action along with the %100 mod drop rate. Been keeping up with the meta and stuff by watching YouTubers and checking out the forums.

Since there are so many rebels in the game that are awesome (Chaze, Wiggs, etc.), I thought it would be funny to make a rebel team with all of the weird/weaker characters just to see if I could actually compete, starting with a new account.

With that being said, I give you my new experiment/pet project... PAO REBELS.

Other team names:
1) Unlimited PAO-er!
2) PAO! Right in the kisser!
3) I am one with the PAO, and the PAO is with me.

The whole idea is to generate multiple basic attacks to lower PAO's CD with his unique ability. Yes, I know that his abilities suck. Yes, there are much more viable options. Do I care? NO! Why? Cause, PAO.

I mean look at the guy, isn't he adorable?

Team Comp:
Admiral Ackbar (L)
Bistan
PAO
+2 other rebels.

1) Ackbar: Lead speeds up team / generates extra basic attacks with to activate PAO unique.
2) Bistan: Frenzy = multiple attacks.

Plus... I can't separate PAO from his buddy.

He could seriously be a runway model if he wasn't too busy fighting the empire.

3) PAO!

Here's where you guys come in. I've got a few options at this point, looking for some feedback, or if I've overlooked anybody.

Farmboy Luke: +Meme value. Could be useful for future flash events.
Leia: Basic attacks for 2-3 times, powerful on an assist team. REduces CD for PAO faster.
STH: Taunt and TM. But I think he's too mainstream for a meme team like this one.
Cassian / K2: Assist calls and counters mean more basic attacks. Also, provides debuffs so PAO can triple attack easier.
Bhodi: Spotter on PAO will give him a triple attack. Unique synergizes with offense up from PAO. Two non-combat abilities to trigger Ackbar lead.
Jyn: Strong character, can fall back on her in case my (nearly) foolproof plan fails me.
Scariff: Taunter, easily farmed from Cantina. (can get my team up faster)

I'm leaning towards Scariff + Bhodi, but I could also see myself trying out K2/Cassian. Leia also seems strong, and Jyn is just a powerful character that fits in well with a buff/debuff rebel team. Not sure how effective she'll be without her traditional supporting cast though.

Wish me luck, and post your thoughts below!

EDITS:

lisztophobia - Hoth Rebel Scout. Basic attack give everybody turn meter. Def, worth a consideration.

I'm waiting for more Bounty Hunters / Scoundrels to be released already. There's tons of them, and most of them are pretty awesome. Bossk, Aurra, Embo, Jango, Jabba the Hutt... the list goes on.

They are coming soon... but flagged as rebels instead.

So just an update.

Bhodi abilities are bugged with an Ackbar lead, neither one of them trigger assists. If I had to start the farm over again I would go with K2SO and Cassian over Scariff and Bhodi. Since I already have Scariff Pathfinder at 5 stars though, going to replace Bhodi with Leia to see how that works.

On the plus side, the team is doing great! The rest of my shard is focusing on arena characters like Boba and friends, but my squad synergy usually wrecks their individual characters with all of their extra attacks.

The only thing im worried about atm is my PAO and Bistan damage falling off in the next few days, since im farming their shards from the same shop. Focused on keeping those two aa geared up as I can to compensate. We'll see how it goes.

My squad is shaping up nicely too. I have Bodhi gear 10 Zeta lol Pao gear 8, ST Han Gear 9, Bistan gear 9 and Jyn is Gear 6 and only 6 stars.

My team is built for the Herioc Pit Raid. I've read that everyone needs over 200 speed but with this team can I get by if everyone is over 150 with all the TM gain and TM Removal?

Also I was planning on running potency mods with speed secondary's. I don't want to risk not removing TM. What do you think?

Potency mods are def ideal i think. Speed or offense imo.

Okay, so I gotta throw this out...I like Bistan. I use him to good effect on my Rebel team.

I just thought it was boring when ramping up for the Palpatine event to use the same old Wiggs/Lando team. So I used Ackbar lead, classic Han Solo, Bistan, Leia, and Biggs. Bistan and Han basically kept Palp **** down the whole fight. He does huge damage with Gunner Tactics, and when he's frenzied he's on auto fire. Han and Leia kept him beefed up with crit chance up the whole fight. Really quite a good little squad.

But Pao? Man. I don't know who's genius idea it was to put his specials on an 11 turn cool down, but that's just ****. Sure, they get reduced when a rebel uses a basic, but come on! 11 is just too much.

Yea, i wasnt expecting Bistan to be as good as he is. I really like his ship too. Pao is more of an experiment. Ive found that hes ok as long as you can get his double attacks regularly. If hes just using basic for a single hit its pretty pathetic

Ditto for K2SO. I'd recommend Jyn if only to put in there with Bistan and co -- then you can use your team in the Pit as well and do amazingly well.

Really, there will be no end of rebels, the most innocuous random ones are likely to be implemented, so this team has a bright shining future and lots of fresh potential just around the corner! You can't say that about any other faction. Nope... not a one. Not. A. One.

Um. Bistan's frenzy means you will have to use special, which isn't the goal.

@Supercat but bistan frenzy means you don't get penalized for running soecials. So you can have your cake and eat it too. Jes sayin
