Picking the path with Thrawn/R2 coming

I'm on a rather new arena shard from start august. I'm currently level 80, almost 81, and pull decent ranks every day using Lando(L), Nihilus, Biggs, STH and Boba. My toons are G10, one G11.

I also got Rex and Chirrut at 7 stars and sort of arena ready, with Baze still only at 5 stars, but "soon" farmable. Old Ben is another guy I could get ready sort of fast.

I expect to unlock Thrawn within a week, 6-star, maybe 7-star if I get lucky. I'll also unlock R2 at the end of the month, and got Raid Han coming (unlock) in not too long (around the same time I get R2). GK is a bit further into the future (2-3 months or so). If CLS comes next month after R2, I am of course rdy to unlock him by then.

Most of my arena shard is Nihilus lead teams (Rex lead sort of useless against those) and Wiggs lead teams.

My thought was to shift to Rex(L), Thrawn, Nihilus, Boba and STH, and then work R2D2 into the team as soon as I get him.

How would you develop my arena team in the next month or two? Is Raid Han usable at 5 stars? Should I gear up Leia (got her 7-starred)? How would you work R2 and Thrawn into my team, and which leader would you use?
  • Well raid han is a beast and gear means more then stats. A gear maxed 5* is better then a gear 9 7* han. He should have at least gear XI with 5*. Or you get Leia geard, only drawback is, you can have damage from 5k to 50k in one round.
  • Yea. I'm also leaning towards waiting for Han over gearing Leia now. Who would you pick for leader?
  • Leave Rex as lead and get Han geared and Zeta'd

    Rex is the best lead unless you run a full synergy team where CLS or Thrawn seem to dominate, or GK/Zarriss.

    And Raid Han is a real game changer - I was languishing around 180 in arena and his Zeta has now pushed me into top 50s without any effort at all.

    Raid Han that good? What about at 5*?

  • I've asked around and it seems Raid Han is usable at 5 stars if you gear him to G10+ immidiately!
