Please help me to believe in old ben

I have gk at 5* g8 and it's only a matter of time before I can get him higher up in both areas.

I use old Ben in arena (and in my default gw and ls tb team) with cls lead (ibat zeta), leia, zhan and r2z2. I am being advised to use zariss instead of leia (boo hiss).

I really like old Ben! I like his ability block, I like his understatedness, I like his beard and I like his brown cloak, I like that he's not gk, and I am of an age which means that the original star wars trilogy is particularly significant!

Having said that, I'm not completely kitten, despite what you may be thinking lol

I would love to go all in on him and get him to g12 and zeta'd. But I can't find anyone who would advise that over getting gk up and at em. Surely someone out there can present a good argument as to why he's better than gk?

Help me forum, you're my only hope...?
  • If you give OB his zeta, he is definitely viable in high end arena.

    GK could be considered better with his cleanse, lead the charge, and autotaunt, and that he doesnt need a zeta

    But if you really like OB, you will need the zeta.
  • While I'm not that high a level old Ben seems to synergies very well with cls.

    He is a rebel, they both have turn meter abilities.
  • Ben is very good at G12, I use him over GK in my arena team. His taunt zeta is great and his unique zeta is underrated.
  • Thanks all for the useful tips, I'm going two tanks, and working to two zetas on ob!
  • Look at this :https://swgoh.gg/u/theboss--123x/collection/ that is my old Ben and honestly he is doing super good at what he’s at and honestly you should keep old Ben until gk is at least at gear 9 for arena or 10 it depends.
  • Old Ben is likely to be meta in the future. He is not irrelevant at all. Keep your work on him.

    He's not better but use him with Jyn, Cassian, K2 and your choice of Sidious, Mace or FBL. You're welcome.


    That's going to take me some time to work out... But you seem confident, so thank you!


    Ignore that advice. K2, Sidious, Mace, and FBL are all horrible toons. Jyn and Cassian are just ok. Stick with the meta toons, they are vastly better - CLS, Raid Han, R2, etc.

    @SwiftMooky I'm sorry but who is FBL? All that comes to my mind is Football league?
  • I've got Old Ben double Zeta, and G12.

    I use him under my double zeta, G12 Jyn Lead. Goes great with my double zeta R2, Zeta Han, and Zeta Cassian. I break the top 20 but without CLS in my roster I can't push up those extra spots.

    I also have a GK, as well and GK is better in more places, but Old Ben is better than GK and a few places still.

    Using Old Ben under GK with Zarris, Nihilus, and Thrawn is just deadly.
