New meta (rey)

Rey doesn't have a place in the meta from what I've seen. The videos big youtubers like MG and ahnald have shown are completely misleading. They have like twice the speed on every one of their characters than the guys they go up against, so of course they're going to win.
BB8 is far too squishy to be viable in arena, and old ben is far too slow to be a lone tank. That team will be destroyed by the current meta on defence, given similar mods on each team. Rey won't change the meta one bit IMO. She seems completely underwhelming.
Having said that, I'm still going to try to unlock her, purely because I don't want to wait 5 months to get her. I'm at 48/100 and 69/100 on both vets. If I continue to place 1st everyday in ships and arena I should make it as long as my drop rate stays average.

New Rey is bad on defense so far as I've seen. Glad I didn't drop a grip on her. Maybe she will get better when new Resistance characters come out, but as for now, not meta

She is better than you think. You need to use her with the right crowd and she destroys, takes turn meter, gets turn meter, get multiple hits, inflict multiple debuts.... plus you gear her up with the right mods and she’s tough plus she gets foresight... she is fantastic!!! I’m so happy for the investment. She’s a great addition to the team and awesome leadership abilities!!!!

Or you can just use Thrawn and Fracture her...

It's interesting to read how sure everyone was that Rey was worthless and to now look at the top 15 in arena. What does everyone think about the new meta now?

I dont see her better in defense than other teams. It comes down to how fast you can get your bb8. But if your opponent has Zolo and hits Rey, R2 or BB8, you are in trouble.

The problem with Rey is, that 3 spots are basically taken from the start. If one of those three die in battle, its basically over. She is no one man army like CLS and she is certainly no "I counter everything" smurf (who is imho the single most op toon in game) but she is fun to play.

I have Rey, r2, bb8 and GK set atm. Still wondering who that fifth spot shoul take. Chopper is no joke but he crumbles against zolo. Zarriss doesnt really cut it either. I am not completely sold on Old Ben, I think it should be a pre taunt, if you go for double tank. Zolo is not a bad idea if opponents BB8 is faster than yours. Tomorrow I will try getting GK out and putting Chaze in.
Also B2 in that fifth spot could be interesting but I dont have that guy geared yet.

Great in offence but in defence is even easier to beat then cls/general lead.

Nope

I think New Rey is quite good:), from what I ve seen<•( i wont have her) in vids two droids plus gk and cls. This can be meta team. Very good on offense but hard to say how on defense. Or Han Zolo , (no GK) could be the part of this team.

I think RJT can hang out at the top of the arena, but that's not the team to do it... Granted I only have 1 day of data, but it's looking promising.

Replace CLS with MT... Either keep Old Ben or replace with GK if your old Ben isn't geared (mine is only g9, so I use GK ATM)

So long as your mods are appropriate, you get a team that can always go first, and otherwise deal with RHan shooting first... has a MT that will be perma-stealthed and can survive long enough for plague to do all the heavy lifting.

You need RJTs leader ability zeta'd and BB8's first unique zeta is highly recommended.

MT doesn't need to be 7* or g12 (mine is 4* g11) since stars and gear don't affect plague and she won't leave stealth till after the rest of your team is mostly dead... In most cases she won't ever get hit beyond light aoe... Though I do recommend a protection triangle mod for extra durability and +/- 200 speed.

On offense, the team tears through most others, especially the current CLS meta team... Yesterday I auto'd down several to get an idea of how it operates on defense.

RJT is great, but only as a vehicle to allow MT to do her thing... MT is the real game breaker

Rey sucks big time. I have her maxed out with all zetas and gear. She can't handle arena.
