R.I.P. CLS squads

If it really is ALL revans, a team that has been doing reasonably well on defense for me is JTR, BB8, R2, 3PO and Chewie. With all those droids, you get a guaranteed first strike for BB8, R2 and JTR, which discourages players who don’t have well-modded Revan teams. You can win on offense against the strongest of Revan teams, the problem is that combo doesn’t handle traya very well at all. So if there’s a mix, CLS does better, but you may not get the first turn against faster revans unless your R2 is super quick (mines around 285, so I don’t get smokescreen up before the 300+ revans can use mark).

You could always start by stunning Revan with Han.

revan is immune to stun though

Easiest teams to beat Revan with:

Zfinn team (only requires having chewie and 3p0, low gear and star level is irrelevant)
CLS/JTR (never done either but the difficulty seems comparable)
Revan
NS

So there are many teams much better at beating Revan than Revan. The Real problem is that nothing holds on D like Revan.

In the time you've farmed up Ewoks for 3P0 and BH for Chewie, you could have easily built Jedi or Sith teams to compete with.

That's assuming you have/can get the necessary Sith/Jedi

If you're worried about the difficulty of the farm, NS is the way to go.

Ah. Didn't know that. Guess I'll quit trying to stun him with Finn.

Most people who are in a position to chase Chewie and 3P0 already have Sion/Nihilus/Vader/Thrawn/EP and are ready for Traya to plug in.

They also already have Kanan (eh)/Old Ben/Ezra/Bastilla/Jolee/GMY/GK and probably Revan.

BH maybe given their wealth of game content, but Chewie at 7* is a hurdle because of gear gating.

Ewoks? with zetas and G11-G12? Yikes. Only serious vets had those pre-3P0. And certainly weren't a priority for anyone before 3P0 landed.

I'd love to have 3P0 and keep using my CLS arena team. But I don't have a bevy of G12 Ewoks, and I got tired of being targeted by everyone looking for an easy climb. So all aboard the Revan train.

Traya and Revan are much harder to get than 3p0 and Chewbacca.


3p0 is completely arena worthy at 5*, so all it really took was g7/g8 ewoks just like your old fashioned legendaries and chewbacca has already come around twice.

So I'll repeat, if you're really worried about the farm, go with NS.
Otherwise your most effective means of beating Revan (3p0/chewie teams) are an easier farm than Sith/Jedi will be.

I run a CLS team with 5* 3PO/Chewie/Han and R2D2 and struggle but keep it up close to top50. The only reason I can hold that position is the fact there are still some Traya team at around that rank that I can feast from and remain at my position. I have a hard time beating Raven team, which compose probably 80-90% of the top 100 on my shard at this point.

Revan is definitely tough with a CLS squad but you should be finding success against Treya.

The problem is that Traya teams are few and far between these days. I BUILT my CLS team specifically for Traya squads - only to see them disappear in a wall of Revans and a few NS. They're there, but you can't reach them because of all the Revans.

I was top 30 easy with my CLS team. Second coming of Revan and I could barely hold 120. I had to make the switch to Reven and now I am in the top 40.

He’s fine... This is on a “month after release” shard vs very strong opponents



Revan teams are super easy to beat and anything else is a joke...

I’m hoping some of these reworks and new releases this month will actually make things more diverse and more interesting....
