Or do I need to wait for R2D2’s soft cleanse? Question 2 —> Assuming 7* and Omegas who is a better damage dealer (and also team usefulness) out of Farmboy, Leia and Ezra? Thanks!!

There is literally no debate - R2 is head and shoulders above Ackbar regardless of absolutely anything. R2 is one of the best characters in the game.2. It's a toss up between Leia and Ezra. Ezra is good, I like him and he hits hard. But a well-geared and a well-modded Leia, for me, has been an absolute killing machine. A thing of savage precision and deadliness. It was Leia undoubtedly, along with Wedge and Biggs that dragged me through from newb to high-mid game. I still use them sometimes for kicks as Wedge, Biggs and Leia are still one of the most powerful, and fun, trios in the game.

No passive cleanse, no health bonuses to the whole team. That's the two things he's best for in a CLS/rebel team, espeically without another cleanser. Could get away with it way easier if you had Chirrut Rex or GK, but without those ones, especially in this sith era, his team would get debuffed pretty easy.Regardless, I would work on R2, get him in there asap, and do his Number Crunch zeta first, then his passive cleanse.

I send in a kamakazi team to take out wedge or absorb some rain from above attack the have, then I take them apart 1 by 1 with my HK 88 86 Daka, elder team. I would go with laea because the few sighs teams that I can't beat have her, and I suck

She really is great.

Can't say I've ever played Fulcrum. Sounds like she might be worth it, for fun :smile:

Im another Leia groupie. Mod her for 216% crit damage and high crit and sit back and enjoy the show. She works well under CLS or Wedge lead. Ezra has a little more utility but for pure easy to get and damage its hard to beat Leia. She is useful for a long time and well worth the farm and gear. Her Zeta is not needed.

I use her in p1 of Sith raid with Farmboy lead, CLS, Raid Han, Leia and Visas Mar. She can really put out the hurt and holds her own with 2 of the best damage dealers in the game.

If you do not have CLS, Ackbar is a far better leader than Wedge. You could try running Ackbar (L), Wiggs, R2, and Raid Han. If you don’t have Han run Leia.

I would NOT add Ezra to that team.

But Wiggs won’t ever trigger Ackbar’s assist ability....and Wedge gives way more speed....what am I missing?

Yeah I think Wedge and Aakbar are equal leaders depending on situation. But Wedge speed buff is his unique, and only applies to he and Biggs.

Ackbar when fully upgraded gives 25 speed to all rebel allies and +10% Tenacity as a leader. And if any of them use an ability that isn’t an attack a random rebel ally comes to assist. That’s a sight better than wedge’s offense and health boost.

The team I suggested would give your team a lot of turn meter considering the unique and special abilities the characters have.

[It depends on the situation. Wedge is a better pvp leader. He is also a better healer than AA over long fights. Im not downing AA at all but its not an absolute "he has a better lead."

Well put, I agree.

I’ve never seen him used as a leader in the shard I’m in, but Ackbar is used, same as Rex.
