Rex - B2 - Kylo - Boba - Shore viable?

I'm not a pretty new shard (started in January '17), the top 200 is ~level 75. Right now I'm running the rebel team (Wiggs / Lando / Boba / Akbar or StHan), I know I need to change as I'm starting to leave the mid game moving towards the end game. My arena is full of Nihilus led Sith teams (no one is to Zeta yet), is a Rex / B2 / Kylo / Boba / Shore team (I have all unlocked) a viable direction to go to combat the current Sith, likely coming Zaul teams? Any suggestions on changes to that lineup?


I have Maul at 7* and am stuck in between playing catch-up on Siths or just going a different direction completely.

  • Could you link your swgoh.gg page. Without it people can't give specific advice. Based on what you've said, you should aim for Rex lead, kylo, nihilus (3* is more than good enough even at end game), shore or baze if you have him, and either chirrut, boba or B2. Without gk, you can't build the perfect Rex squad, but this will definitely do the job and secure top 20 depending on your mods, maybe even top 5. It will be able to take down zaul.

    Sorry, long time lurker, first time poster. I need some major work on mods, that much I know.
  • Your team becomes a top 20 team for sure with zylo but until then I don't think it's that great. I run that team on a dec 15 shard and I can sometimes get top 5 but my maxed zylo really carries the team
  • Thanks for the input. It doesn't take long to feel like the game is pulling you in too many different directions, I'm not sure if I should be focusing on building up a better arena team than just the Rebels, focusing on Jawas to get critical chance mods, focusing on ships or trying to build better raid teams. Any guidance is greatly appreciated.
  • Shore has a taunt combined with a global critical immunity, so i don't think that Shore is that efficient against a Nihilus lead Sith team.
    Same thing with Rex lead, it doesn't work at all against a Nihilus lead, what you need against a Nihilus lead is some healing immunity. Siths can't score critical hits under his lead.

    Since you use Kylo you'd better use Phasma in your team, even as a lead. TM reduction and slow debuff is nice against Siths, the less they play the less they recover health or use nasty powers.
    And more assists from Kylo can pretty much destroy anything. ;)

    If you have trouble with Dooku under such lead i've found stealthy toons way more useful than stunners too, who are not much reliable. Usually someone like Leia can pretty much destroy Dooku without a single retaliation.

    Thank you very much.


    Dooku (and Sith Trooper) are the two guys I'm currently struggling to handle. I'm level 75 and my current squad is Wiggs (L) - Lando - Boba - StHan all at 7*, aka a starter Rebel team (still on a pretty new shard). It's predictably overrun with Nihilus led Sith teams. I figured out to speed StHan up so he goes first on my team, but if I run into a Sith team (hard not to) and I can't kill Dooku on Wiggs special attack, I'm screwed. Just trying to figure out if I need to go along with the Nihilus / eventual Zaul meta or if there's a pivot that can do well against them and prevent me from feeling like I'm playing catch up.
