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.

R2 is one of the best characters in the game.I don't think I want to disagree with you there, cuz you're almost surely not wrong, but imagine an R2 with no zetas. 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.

Make sure r2 gives her stealth then use her stealth ability and watch your enemy melt.No hyperbole - but I don't think I've ever played a more enjoyable character. She's out of my Arena team now, OG Han's there instead. But it's always a delight to play her in Raids and other battles.For a while I ran her as part of my arena team back when I did Rebels (though I've since switched to FO because I find them very enjoyable), but right now she's part of my main Rebel squad, which is typically my second-highest damage dealing squad on raids. Wedge, Biggs, Leia, Fulcrum and Old Ben. It's usually a toss up as to whether Leia or Fulcrum does more damage overall, but it's always an interesting competition between the two lol.~Morningfrost

1. 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.

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."

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