Non meta arena teams you use and see?

Hey everyone! I've been around since day one of the game so I've seen pretty much every meta to date... that's made things rather boring for me; constantly fighting the same people and same teams over and over again.

Now, I know there is a meta but the game has progressed to a point where tons of different teams can still win a fight and rank high, if not first (In the past if you wanted to be first you had to have the poe droids).

So I was curious! What are some non meta teams you use or have seen make their way up the leaderboard? Who still uses some creativity to make a different team?

I personally have been using a zPhasma lead zKylo zFOTP zBoba and General Kenobi team that has gotten me first for several weeks in a row now. I don't last on defense at all but in my opinion that's more fun to battle my way back up through the triple cleansers, thrawn empires, sith etc.

I see this one guy on my server constantly switch his team which is fun. Recently he's using leia lead baze Sabine chirrut and nihilus. Fun team and is interesting to see someone different! Quite refreshing.

So tell me some of the teams you roll and see!
  • I take Rank 1 most days with my Rogue 1 squad. zJyn, K2SO, Chaze, Cassian. Not great on defense, but let's be honest, teams that are good on defense are only that way due to GK and Nihilus.
  • I change it up a lot but today I have been having fun with zPhazma, Zylo, FOO, TFP and Boba Fett
  • Running a straight forward pure Four Zeta First Order.
    I can run up to 1st nightly, but sitting back in a swap out for 3rd & 4th, as I have a discord channel set up for Arena payouts for my shard. Normally, as of late falling back to 15-20 spot overnight, as they are not exactly strong in Def. Offense wise, they are pretty solid still, Late Dec 2016 shard
  • I can take first during my payout among many Wiggs-Chaze and Rex-Chaze-DN combos on my March 2017 shard.
    I use the following team comps, depending on who I face:

    Lando (L) - Boba- STHan - EP - QGJ (most Wiggs-Chaze teams and Rogue1 teams), very fast mods on this one
    OR
    EP (L) - Vader - Boba - Thrawn - QGJ (most Rex-led teams, some of which already have GK, or DN Sith teams)

    All g10 except Thrawn (g8) and QGJ (g11).

    QGJ seems odd here but he really has great utility for me in dispelling Baze or GK, removing TM from someone like DN before he can dispel my taunter, and granting offense up for the team.
  • I use zKrennic, zDT, Snow, Shore, Veers. Hold top 100. Tons of fun synergy!
  • I vary my team every day. Depending on who I battle, is switch it up every fight as well.
    But I m stick with the DN/dooku combo wombo, it's so fun!!
    Usually will run DN/dooku/assassin/savage/gk but lately been running DN/dooku/zylo/thrawn/gk.
    I will say having good speed mods solidifies this team but running DN lead I never lose on offense.

    Tarkin(l), Thrawn, GK, DT, DN. Getting more popular though.


    I've been running this with Shore instead of GK.
  • Tarkin lead , DT, nilly , zylo and Vader (29th my best atm)only tarkin lead on my shard of team instinct / dark lords kinda happy with that
