Resistance or Jedi - Team help

I can't decide which team I want to use my zetas on - jedi, or resistance.
I want a team that can do well in all areas of the game. That being said, I have an empire team that can just about solo the rancor raid, and a rebel team that can get me through GW - therefore I'm more so worried about hard AAT and squad arena. I know that Jedi's are great in hard AAT, but can a zeta resistance team be viable as well? And what about in squad arena? (I do not have General Kenobi for the jedi team, but I do have 7 star R2).
Thanks in advance!
  • Jedi are the best option for Arena with zeta QGJ (But sadly, Kenobi is needed to contend in the top 50-100).
    Resistance is INSANE on offense, except against Rex teams, BUT they get destroyed on defense. So, you may be able to climb quickly, but you'll fall just as fast.
    I zeta'd both QGJ and Finn and honestly the Finn zeta is the most viable. Resistance is great in HAAT, they destroy Galactic War, all hard lightside battles, Ground War Assault Battle event and misc events like omega battles. I would say go for Resistance first (if you've done the work to bring them all up)
  • Actually u don't need GK to use jedi, I used ST han instead of GK for a long time and stayed top 30. A guy in my shard runs zgj, aayla, r2d2, jka, and thrawn and he does pretty good. GK is the best choice but he isn't the only choice with the old ben rework coming up maybe he could fill in.
  • If you're trying to find which team works better in the HAAT then I would say it's a draw.

    Resistance- Groovy in: GW, HAAT Phase 2&4, Speed Mod challenges. However they are eww on defense (it's not to say that true resistance teams can't break into the top 50 cause it has happened!) but arena wise Jedi's would ideal.

    It would also depend upon the toons that you already have. Having a zQGJ lead may sound all fun and games but if you don't have the other 4 toons to back that up with then you're not getting anywhere fast.
  • Thank you all for your advice.
    I have my resistance and jedi pretty similar in gear and they are all 7 star or very close.
    I can zeta one ability now which I would use on Finn and run Finn, Poe, Rey, R2, and either the resistance pilot or trooper. I would use my next zeta on R2. For Jedi I planned on running zeta Qui-gon, Anakin, Yoda, and then I'm not sure between Ima-Gun Di, Ezra, Aayla, R2, and Barriss for my other two spots.
  • Id say resistance because its the better investment, look at this way every star wars movie that has come out since the game started and we will only be getting new resistance characters this December so it would be the better option.

    @Slanky

    try a team one suggested me: zQGJ, Anakin/yoda, Ezra, Old Ben, R2D2 once you get General Kenobi switch him with Old Ben
  • hAAT phase 1 (typicaly jedi teams) is the easiest phase and the phase with lowest scores. Don't invest too much in jedi just for that. Resistance teams score much higher in the following phases. For arena, however, jedi are much stronger than resistance.
