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.
I saw your team. Good team, good idea.
Do you know who would be a great addition to your team of aoe tanky guys? Poe. Do you know why? Because regardless of meta, "I act first, push a button, then my whole team moves before yours so I get a 5-0 starting advebtage in the action economy" IS an overpowered ability. By itself.
First turn winning combos are a bad idea for any game that strives for any resemblsnce of balance
I tested it with Poe - actually it's not a great idea vs. speed and QGJ specifically. I've had Jinn dispel Poe and then the ally is offense up. Keep in mind my team other than Poe / Sid is kind of slow - especially Snowtrooper. So the naturally fast Jinn / GS / Poe can catch up to me. I've had the other Poe taunt back, yank meter before I have everyone go, then give offense up from Jinn dispel...now I'm stuck fighting them with offense up and it's over. I agree in theory it should be great, but it's not because the opposing Poe can flip things back and Jinn can turn everyone in to a nuke.
