This is mostly just a frustration post. I'm trying my best to use Padme in arena. The devs said specifically that she's meant to be good in PvP. So I built the team up. Have every zeta, all gear 12, except Padme at gear 10. But she struggles so hard with Jedi Revan, she's basically useless in arena. She seems good against Darth Revan. Maybe they designed her to counter that. But if a team can't beat Jedi Revan, they can't even reach top 50 where Darth Revan is. Between rank 50 - 200, there's probably around 140 Jedi Revan teams. If a team can't survive and climb thru them, it's really irrelevant how well she counters Darth Revan. Maybe I shouldn't have invested so many zeta into them. My Night Sister team does way better on offense, and even holds better on defense. I'm being pushed back in rank further than I have been in years. I was over 200 at one point yesterday, which hasn't happened in a very long time. Padme does well against most every team I fight. But if you can't beat Jedi Revan, then you can't beat the only team that really matters. And you have no place in arena. Praying a Mace rework saves this team.

Can't decide which one. How is slow better? Usually vs DRevan/Malak, the slow Padmé/C3PO build basically lets the other side do all their moves first, then Padme will use her cleanse, which gives 50% bonus protection (10% per GR ally) plus an additional 10% more per debufff cleansed above themselves. This allows you to get a massive stack of Courage above the others as they start their turn (funny thing, C3PO can accumulate like 70+ stacks above him as the match goes on but he can’t use any of it). Done properly, you can one shot most of the enemy with the following moves by GK, Anakin, Ahsoka. Kill off FBast, HK47, STrooper then DRevan, leaving Malak last. C3PO should be fast (god mods not necessary), but the speeds of the others should be set so they go GK, Anakin, Ahsoka then Padmé (like 255, 254, 253, 252).Did you do the YouTube search I recommended?

"NicWester;c-1865897" wrote:252 is a SLOW Padme? :( I mean, yeah. Padme's base speed is 170. Even taking out her two G12+ pieces, that puts your base speed at 158. 94 bonus speed shouldn't exactly break the bank. Even if you're not using a speed set, that's a speed primary arrow, and an average of 13 (12.8 actually, but who's counting) speed secondaries on the others. With a speed set, you don't even need that much - 8.2 average speed secondaries.

I find barris works Better than Yoda vs Jedi revan. If Ashoka gets marked first it's already game over. Strange I never lose vs Darth revan/malak but yeah Jedi revan is a tough match-up. Even if Ashoka doesn't get marked first it's an up hill climb

Strange that no padme team yet has beat my DR malak team.....

How would you know that? Shard chat? How fast are your Darth revan and bastilla?

Edit:
Your bastilla is only 288 so I would beat it no problem. Maybe it's cause you're #1 and everyone around you already has Dr and malak and not bothered with padme

Except you could always use a different team to climb against JKR and then switch to Padme to fight the DRs when you get to them.
