R.I.P. CLS squads

There are still 3 cls squads in the top 50 in my arena shard. 2 treya and 1 jtr hanging on in the 40s

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.

Truth is, what really matters is that you "play ball" with your shard mafia. If you don't, you will be punished. You will be targeted and you will drop down the ranks.

Way to make it sound more sinister than it is. There's 3 types of people when it comes to shard chats in general (not counting those situations where the top is ruled by a mafia - which is a rare situation)

Those who decide to not act like a ruffian and hit people all willynilly and converse with others in their chat to have an easy time of it.

Then there's those of the irresolvably conflicted point of view that you must somehow be entirely competitive (can't communicate with each other or avoid people during their payout), yet let others take 1st at the same time (because it's not their payout so they should just let you take 1st). This type always moans about shard chats being "collusion" when really it's just their point of view that is goofy.

Then there's the guys who do act like Ruffians and don't join the chat and still take 1st because they are that bloodthirsty. These types have no problems with the existence of shard chats, they enjoy the challenge.

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

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.

Easer said then done..first of all drop rates are subpar..and unless you spent something Raven is unattainable. Second Jedi are no good and have always been non arena worthy with out Bastilla...but I had to complete my ewoks for 3po and still came up just short. You are correct in saying had I not then maybe a sith team..but a Jedi team...no...the gardens of the Galaxy in this SwGOH story are a mier shadow of thier true characters In the movies. Most of my Jedi are g12..the good ones anyway and they can not stand on thier own 2 feet..much less compete vs Raven and bistilla..which is the go too formation with good reason..good synergy..all be it from another game not movie and TV lore.

You let your r2 go first? Or B-8 and JTR? Do you smoke-out R2? What's your kill order?
