Rebel leader skill

Hi all,

I know CLS's leader is great, especially with a zeta, but with all the critical hits, isn't Wedge's Rebel Heroism a better choice? Double tap from Han at the start giving him a 20% head start, plus it's utility to reduce TM and Leia will be scoring big on a triple tap. Not to mention Wedge's AoE. I assume R2 would be in the team too giving him a speed boost.

I don't have Thrawn or Chaze so may be I'm a bit biased.

Any reason I should use Luke as lead?

    Lets say you used wedge(L) CLS Leia r2 raid han who is your tank for r2 to stealth ? You dont have baze probably no kenobi too you can use b2 sun fac sthan then you would need fast r2 and zetas on r2 to cleanse and be competitive

    But if you use CLS as leader and stealth him while you farm your tanks you can do still be good on arena with that counter chance

    B2 is not a good tank, because he doesn't have a taunt

    I'd be more inclined to say he's not a perfect tank because he doesn't taunt of his own will, but he's still good because he basically forces you to concentrate on him otherwise he gets tons of TM and then ability blocks you.

    So you're saying if you don't have Base or Kenobi to tank don't bother with rebels in arena?

    Fair enough.

    What has your experience been with longer battles? I use Luke in territory battles, but I haven't used either enough to compare.

    R2 is built like a tank, so yes it's viable. I run Wedge, Biggs, zRaid Han, zzR2, and Thrawn on my FTP account. It wrecks on offense. The 20% TM gain for raid han at start is great.
    Against most teams, raid han stuns 1 with opening move, my thrawn then disables their baze, then Han stuns another so they have 3 disabled. From there it's a game of cleanup.

    Thats not what i mean you can still be good but with Leia han wedge all of them is squishy you are too vulnerable to a lot of things lets say enemy wedge biggs if they are faster then r2 you will lose leia wedge han

    To fix this issue you can use old ben too r2 would select him and all your heavy hitters will be safe

    Edit: i dont even have CLS i use wiggs chaze sthan in arena
