  • I tried GK GMY HYoda Padawan Ahsoka and JC in P2 on T4. Lots and lots of mass assists.

    I've taken 1 several times with the reworked GMYoda.

    GMYoda
    Anakin
    Ezra
    GK
    HYoda

    It can still lose to Traya teams but I win WAY more than I lose. I have to have less than average RNG to lose, matter of fact.

    Just get you HYoda and GMYoda speed up around 260+ and you should be good (of course that's based on your enemies). I regularly get Anakin to hit 25k+ on his basic, and so far, I've gotten his AOE to hit EVERYONE for 39k.

    So yeah, the rework is epic on offense in Arena.

    Also, getting those Jedi up to Gear 12/12.5 does work in the hSith Raid. I've only used them in P2 but I got over a million damage. Not fantastic but definitely worthwhile.


    how did you get JKA to hit for 12.5 on basic. I have him at g12, no extra gear and just flat g12, and he hits like a wet noodle. I have gmy (g11) lead zeta, hy (no zeta), g12 ezra (no zeta), g11 qgj, and fully maxed g12 w/ zeta Visas and I could really survive past a few turns in P1 of SHR.

    ezra does not hit as hard as I thought he should (speed mods and cc sets) but gmy and visas hit hard. not sure if qgj is ideal but jka and GK are used in other squads for me

    does maxing jka g12 gear really help?
  • I’ve been having decent success in arena using grandmaster yoda lead (double zeta), hermit yoda (double zeta but still five star, kenobi, little ahsoka, and thrawn. It falls on defense, but is capable of beating most teams fairly easily on offense.

    Did some top 20 fights today and managed to eek out two wins against palpatine leading traya teams, which was a pleasant surprise

    You have to get yoda’s buffs flowing. Crit damage up, offense up, and defense penetration up are all crucial. So is grandmasters training from hermit.

    I can’t speak for using anakin yet, but with those buffs out there, I’ve seen little ahsoka critting on JTR and B.B.-8 for over 40k on basic and 60k on special

    Defense penetration up, in particular, I think is one of the best offensive buffs in the game

    What mods did you put on Anakin? O_o

    Old discussion, I know but this character deserves an expanded kit that includes an omicron and possibly an additional zeta. There are so many nods to canon that could be embedded in JMY's abilities that it's clear this character's pure strength and potential are really being overlooked here. C'mon, CG, let a master be a master. 👍
