Replacing Jedi Consular in Arena?
I've been running an Arena team of Luminara, Poggle, JC, Qui-Gon (L), and IG-86. Lumi and IG-86 are 7*. JC, Poggle, and Qui-Gon are 6*. all are gear level 8.
I'm getting to the point where I'm wondering if it's team composition or just plain power that's the issue for me. It's hard to get into the top 200, and I can't usually stay there until time to start working at it again the next day. I often end up in the upper 300s. Most of the teams I see are higher power than my team, except teams with Dooku, Yoda, or Poe, all of which are harder for me to beat even though they're lower power. Any team within 100 power of me I can usually handle if it doesn't have any of those characters, although there are a few that if several are present I worry (Vader, Kylo Ren, Rey,
So I'm wondering what I should modify to try to do better. I see a lot of advice that says JC isn't all that helpful. I find his fast cooldown on healing is immensely helpful, but I'm open to pulling him and putting someone else in. I'm just not sure who.
My best character not in use in Arena is Barriss at 71/6*/gear 8.
I have GS at 4*, and my shard farming for him has been put on halt for getting Mace Windu for getting Yoda to 6*. My GS is gear 8, and he is level 71.
I have a 5* Sidious at level 80 and gear 7. I have a 5* Phasma at 70 and 7.
I also have some lower-geared and lower-starred 70s. Old Daka(70). Rey (71), and RG (70) are 4*/gear 6. Mace Windu (70) is 5*/gear 4. Poe (70) is 4*/gear 5. Old Ben (70) is 4*/gear 4).
Others who might need more promotion and upgrades than those include Yoda at 5*, Nightsister Initiate, HK-47, Darth Vader, Kylo Ren, Finn, Anakin, IG-88, Teebo, Nute Gunray, Resistance Pilot, and Boba Fett at 4* and then FOTP, Han, Dooku, and Ahsoka at 3*.
My biggest worry is slippage overnight, and my second concern is getting better at getting higher when I'm actively playing. Any advice at working with these characters to do better at either would be welcome. I just don't have some of the obvious choices in great shape right now, and I'm not sure what the wisest investment of my resources toward developing other characters would be in the long run (besides Yoda) or what I can do in the meantime to try to get better rewards while I work on him.
Or do I just maintain the same team and gear them up more with the wall I've hit with 50 of each gear?
