Building a Jedi team. Already zetaed QGJ. Both QGJ and Ezra is reasonably geared. Running Yoda because I don't have any other decent Jedi. zR2D2 has number crunch and serving in my Rebel arena team but I can use him easily for the Jedi team. I have no Kenobi, probably won't get one anytime soon. Who should fill the 5th slot? There's Kanan and Old Ben and erm, Mace Windu. Mace is mediocre atm and doesn't even taunt. Is Old Ben better than Kanan? Or should I just roll without Jedi tanks and go for Aayla or Anakin and smokescreen whenever possible?

Technically Old Ben is kenobi.So the only choice would be Kanan

I've been thinking about building up a Jedi Team too,I have QGJ(zeta saved) but not sure who to put around him other than GK

I tried Kanan for a while...he's pretty bad as a tank. He is slow as dirt so odds are most of the opponents team will move before he can taunt, so he's not going to take any of their initial big attacks. To make it worse he gets no passive taunt at all so once his taunt gets dispelled, which is usually pretty quick, he's pretty useless for 3 turns. Every now and then I'd have a fight where he is an absolute god, like against Dooku...he'd just get stunned and sit there stunned at full health as Dooku would keep beating on him and healing him with debuffs...but most the time he was mediocre at best. Seems like he'd be far more useful around a Phoenix Squad than Jedi.I switched to OB and he does a much better job of mitigating/redirecting damage. I use mind trick on his first turn and taunt on his second. Even if his taunt gets dispelled it also has the benefit of giving everyone defense up which helps keep them alive til OB can mind trick/taunt again. An added benefit is even if you don't have him geared quite as high as his your other characters you often find yourself not caring if he dies as all your other toons get a heal and buffs(and foresight from QGJ) when he does.I wouldn't bother with Mace as a tank...I actually don't even get why he's labeled a tank...makes no sense. His kit has absolutely nothing to do with tanking.I'd go with OB over Kanan, but if you have Aayla and R2 ready to roll I'd probably just go with them. The other added benefit of Aayla is that you'll have a second attacker so Ezra's Watch and Learn can fire off some auto crits...it would be pretty beastly to have Aayla attack, auto crit, stun, possibly call someone to assist, and Ezra also follow up with 1-2 auto crits of his own.

Old Ben, Kanan is to slow and his utility isn't good enoug

Old Ben is much more useful before and after defeated.

zQGJ, GK, anakin, zBarriss and either yoda )needs a zeta) or ezra is really tough to beat...

I've been rolling with zQGJ, JKA, Ezra, OB, and Barriss...it works pretty well...been finishing top 20 and cracked top 10 a few times since I got the zeta. Can't really do much against the G12 CLS whale teams on my shard though with my G10/11 Jedi squad lol.

I'd try swapping out OB for Aayla or Ahsoka if I had either of them at G10+ right now...seems like faster kills = more foresight and less incoming damage that might be more helpful than what OB provides...but I probably won't bother trying as I think I'm going to just roll with what I have til I have GK or HY to swap out for OB/Barriss.
