Resistance Pilot & Squad Arena

Hi guys,

When I started to play this game I got a 4* Resistance Pilot in a pack and he was so OP dealing the highest damage in my team. His basic attack deal 2K damage and crit 4K+

He's great in my Squad Arena too but is he worth keeping ?

I currently have:

6* Sid (leader)
7* Lumi
5* Dooku
5* JC
5* Resistance Pilot

All of them lvl 62 and purple I'm currently doing great in the squad arena ranking between 50 - 150. I know that my squad got little synergy and that I'm relying a lot on fire power and healing.

I also have:

5* Chewie
4* Boba (nearly 5*)
4* Darth Vader
4* Ventress
4* Kylo Ren
4* Savage Opress
4* Phasma
4* Datcha
4* Daka
4* Talia
4* Fives
3* Poe
3* IG-86
2* Leia
2* FOTP
And a lot more 1-3* Characters.

I was thinking about removing JC and Resistance Pilot to replace them with Boba and Kylo Ren. What do you guys think? Can you advice me on making a good team for the squad arena I really want to get in the top 20

Thanks!

    Imo boba only works in crit teams (with his leader skill) or aoe teams. He does decent damage for a tank but he is really slow. Kylo is very versatile, he can fit in a lot of squads. Maybe it's better to bring Kylo and Phasma.

    I think there is a potential to keep Resistance Pilot but you do need to have the right team. Do you need 2 healers? Maybe swap out JC for Phasma?

    Hey Pindasauskanon, I keep seeing your name appear in my arena server with the likes of DarthHao etc. You run a Sidious lead right?

    How hard does your resistance pilot hit now? I'm confused by your wording, since Lumi does more than 4k with her crit/force blast.


    His basic attack does around 2.2K and crit 4.5K+
    Yeah Lumi crit is around 5.6K
    But Lumi is 7* and he is 5*
    I think that they nerfed the resistance pilot as his damage has decreased a bit..

    Hey! Yes that's me. I noticed you too (phasma lead right?), I think you are in the same time zone. I live in holland, GMT+1. Havoktrigger is here on the forum too.

    Yeah I will definitely swap JC for Phasma
    And Resistance Pilot for Kylo.
    I can't have both Phasma and Resistance Pilot in my Squad for instance because the farming factor kicks in.. xd

    I got hit for over 10k by him, but I think he had a Poggle buff going.

    He's a good keep, but you need Poe to make it work. Otherwise he's a dead man, since he's on the slow side. Plus he gets a turn meter bonus when he hits exposed enemies, which Poe will provide.

    Sid, R Pilot, Poe, Lumi and Dooku is how I'd run it for now, but Poggle would be the best pickup after you bring him to 7*



    Wow I didn't know about that!
    Thanks man!
    I was considering to bring Poe in but I personally think that he'll get nerfed soon..
    I'll wait and give this lineup a try. :)

    Yeah I keep changing my lead but it is currently Phasma. I live in the UK and yeah I see Havoktrigger on there too...his Poe team is killing me! I am trying to gear up my Poe to VIII but taking ages hehe. It seems like a competitive top 30 doesnt it with some high power players always sitting at rank 12-11 all day before rewards.

    I hate Daka's stun now...it fails so often and her heal is so weak in the new high dps meta, that the only thing going for her is luck revives which seldom happen or are too unreliable. She occupies a spot that could deal 8k damage or heal + advance turn meter. If her stun was meliable (25% higher) could be better. In GW it's better since your can Restart missions - otherwise....


    It's true I got a 4* Daka nearly 5* but her stuns and revive are not reliable.. I gave it a try but when I really needed a revive or stun I never got'em.. and it's really annoying.
