I'm breaking into top 100 in my SA shard using a zzCLS R5 (L), zHan R6, zChewie R5 as my core with zzR2 G13, OB G13. I'm 100/145 on C3PO and building the Ewoks to unlock him (and go to 7-stars). After 3PO I plan to finish Padme (I have her unlocked at 0/85, and 7-star GMY, GK, Snips, JKA).My roster: https://swgoh.gg/p/917197765/characters/Looking at my SA shard, it is made up of 5 Padme teams, 4 DRevan, 1 JKRevan, so I hope to eventually replace the CLS team with Padme team. (I am not close to getting any of the Revan's.)My question is what to do with OB?I know I will find places for R2 so I can keep improving him. But what about OB? Should I improve him to help my CLS team now? Will he have uses later? Or is he good enough now until 3PO comes along? Or will 3PO go with Padme, and OB make a come back into the CLS team?I also have Chewpio/3pac/backpacca (whatever the pair is called) at 4 star and could build them for the CLS team, but then I get more confused about who to place with CLS, Han, and Chewie.Any advice appreciated. Perhaps even something I'm not looking at now.PS: I don't necessarily want the statististically most powerful teams; I enjoy playing with teams that have some relevance to the movies/TV/books. :smile:

I swapped around 7-star OB (G12 +2) and 5-star 3PO (G10 +4) in Galatic Challenges for some testing and was surprised that 3PO didn't really weaken the team. So I've now swapped 3PO into the CLS, RH, Chewie, R2 team. I made some progress in Squad Arena, so I gave 3PO some better mods and improved my position further. I like this team. :)

Old Ben has uses in a JKR squad later down the line until you get Hermit Yoda and is an annoying toon to have with zeta bastila lead in 3b3 gac.I believe best cls team is 3pac, 3po, cls, han and chewie but it wont hold on defence in squad arena. C3po can go in either for GAC, think it depends on who they have. He will bump cls to beat a better team and same with padme

3PO will go with Padmé when you unlock her eventually, at that point OB would be a good place back at CLS. OB is also great under JKR, JKL, Bastilla, and a surprisingly tough lead in 3v3 when paired with evasion/foresight toons.R2 has a nice home with JTR, if you use her. I still run a JTR + Droids, very solid offensive team still. OB actually isn’t too shabby under JTR either, no synergy but the double mind-tricks is tough to surmount.You’ll find uses for him.

Also, the first 3-4 tiers of relic aren't any big deal. Even 5 is no big deal, but cumulatively the signal data starts to add up at that point. So I'd take OB at least to r3 if you have him at g13. No point in not, really.

Thanks for the replies and advice. Good stuff there :) I just unlocked 3PO at 5-star, and it will take a while to get him higher. So I'll focus on gearing up 3PO and Padme while I build up to more stars for them (they are both 5 star).I'm now thinking of building up to:REBELS: CLS (L); Han; Chewie; R2, and ChewPOGR: Padme (L); JKA, Snips; GK; and 3POJEDI: Bastilla (L); GMY; Jolee; Ezra; and OB(I have all at 7 star except for Jolee who is close, and Padme, 3PO and ChewPO who all need more work.)But I'll probably swap around 3PO as I gear hm up to see how he performs in different teams. ;)

OB or not OB, that is the question

I'm now at the point where I have replaced R2D2 with ThreePio 4-star G8, and not seeing too much loss on attack. I went through a relic geos team like a hot knife through butter, and Padme team hardly got a turn. I like this team even better. :smiley:

3pac in relic CLS teams when CLS gets the Guarded buff from Chewie can be a serious problem even on defense. GG, DR, GLs can man handle the CLS team but pretty much everything else gets blown up. We are play testing it on our shard and the RNG on what Han targets makes anything outside of meta teams iffy. None of us have a relic 3pac yet so it is only going to get scarier from here.

The most difficult part is getting low star 3pacs a higher HP+Prot pool than CLS so that CLS gets that Chewie Guarded buff.

I don't want to derail my original question, but I feel this is evolving into 3PO and ChewiePiO replacing OB and R2 on CLS team.

I have CLS R5, Han R7, Chewie R6, 3PO 6 star g11 zOMG, ChewPiO 4 star g9: took out r5 geos, and r5 DR (rest of his team was not relic) today. There is much more room for me to improve this CLS team. I'm surprised at the survivability of ChewPiO and 3PO. And my current mods are probably decent but not great.

Chewpio is a CLS game changer. R2 is a bench warmer now because Vet Han replaced him on my JTR squad. Old Ben works well with JKL lead.

ChewPiO has replaced OB and R2 on my CLS team: zzCLS r5, zHan r7, zCheiwe r7, z3PO 5-star, and ChewPiO 5-star. It can only get better :smile:

Is the zeta on Chewie's Rage worthwhile?

And by difficult I think that may be an understatement if your CLS is R7. Might need to switch from 6E mods on circle

It's worthwhile. Whether it's good enough to be on your priority list of zetas is another thing.

I guess my question would be whether your guild is going to be playing LS Geo anytime soon. If yes, then zeta soon. If no, then it's a zeta you want but can put off for a fairly long while. You only have 15 zetas placed, according to SWGOH. I've have over a hundred, of which probably 50 are more useful than Chewie's Rage.

But of course many of those are placed on characters you don't have, and 3PAC is in your arena squad (which always bumps up the utility of a zeta, even though it doesn't change the quality of it). So it's not like I'm advocating waiting until after you have 4 GLs with 6 zetas each. I'm just thinking of things like Thrawn's Ebb & Flow which you could use now and increases Thrawn's power & utility more than Chewie's Rage increases 3PAC's utility outside of LS Geo.

I think opinions can very reasonably differ, but I would at least wait until your 3PAC is up to 7 stars.
