You can beat Poe teams with tanky 4 AOEs and Poggle - I had a post on this using 3 AOEs and old Ben - but I've recently built another tanky AOE and it's working well. I'm going to create a second post on this version to share - but essentially you want to target toons that can go >14k health or as close to is as possible. Phasma and Kylo are great. Sid as a lead.

Exactly what i'm trying but I was using phasma as leader and now I can see it probably is a mistake. My problem atm is kilo feeling very weak at 5 stars, hope it gets there... because it just seems not enough unless mega lucky rng.

Props to jaxx for brilliant feedback on all his answers.

@topic

Else rename this forum to "Poe and characters" since he makes any strategy invalid.

I really cannot understand why he's not being balanced after this long, there's no need to kill the character but he can be fixed so easily by tunning down his speed / removing the so unnecesary meter reduction or target exposing(fine that's the Poe grp/race gimmick but it's so strong it's borderline dumb).

And don't even start with the QgJ-Ben thing until both are Farmeable, and even if, that should never be necessary just to counter 1 solo character(and that's assuming it even works).

Constructive feedback only please.

Stun QGJ or any Jedi with Dooku and focus fire on Poe or any dps if Poe has not taunted. If you can't take down either one before a heal takes place, your team lack the damage to be successful in Arena.

Poe taunts(he always goes first as you should know) , now all my characters act Last his GS/Lumi/Rey/Dooku/QgJ/Sid etcetera kill two of my characters, 3v5 and all I can hit is a 200 million tenacity tank (because he also needs that) with 3 weakened and possibly exposed characters.

Please, if you are not 63 or more and top 20 or better you don't even understand the problem i'm trying to expose on this post, so, yeah, I also was beating Poe's at level 50 since he Being so broken as a character could still be countered as damage is easily manageable with JC/Lumi healing, for instance.

Im level 69 and I fight Poe teams daily on every arena battle. Your problem simply is you don't have speedy burst characters that might go before Poe. if you have any like Rey or GS at lvl 70, you have the chance to one-shot most glass canon on the opposition. My answer remains the same: burst down opposition dps or poe. You can't cos you blindly followed the supposedly efficient build with slow lumi and weak sidious. you have neither damage nor control. That's your problem not poe. and you didn't forsee the poe meta coming as well. Quit whining too as no one forced you to build your team in this slow low damage manner.

If you have GS,Rey and QGJ, and the enemy has GS,Rey, QGJ and Poe, your team has nothing to do if Poe goes first because of turn manipulation at speed 7. You need Poe yourself, and that's a problem for two reasons:
A ) msndatory characters limit build diversity
B ) the game becomes a coin toss to see whose Poe's go first.

You don't need poe if you have GS and Rey. Your gs or Rey may go first before their poe and take out one dps or two or even poe. Why is diversity affected when you can choose the other three members in your team? you are overstating the problem?

You have QGJ, GS and Rey, the enemy has QGJ, GS, Rey and Poe. He can 1 Shot you as well as you can 1 Shot him, and that's fine. If he go first with GS, he can kill one of your damage dealers. But then it's your turn, and you kill one of his damage dealers with one of your own. Then it'll be his turn again, and so on. Everything is fine. BUT if it's his Poe who go first... you are TOAST. He moves ALL HIS CHARS before you do. So his GS will shoot yours, his Rey will shoot yours, his QGJ will shoot yours. Now it's your turn, enjoy using Phasma.
