Seeking advice for how to utilize FO in GA

I Think way back then i used the kylos under palpatine...can't remember how effective that was and is probably not compareable to what you face nowadays.
Some used them with barriss too

I highly disagree. That is the most common team, definitely isn't the best. SFTFP feeds turns to FO-X, TFP deals a ton of damage. Officer is necessary and the 5th is always going to be Old Kylo or FOO. That team you mentioned is so easy to kill, everyone walks through them every GA and TW. It has 3 tanks, 1 support, 1 damage dealer. The balance on the team isn't there to be able to actually sustain and counter. You're essentially hoping for a timeout where your Regen keeps you from losing, It won't. Bring something that can actually do some damage, mod em right, and you'll know when you use em which is the "best".

From my last TW. Imagine if I had my 5th geared, leveled up.

Ok fair point, I thought OP asked for a offensive team.
Still this team holds the best results for me on offense.


But then again this team when placed on defense in TW once held for 23 battles and two TWs ago for 15.

Worth mentioning that up until this point I have run
1)Phasma, FOO, FOTP, Kylo, FOST (this team has roughly 72k power)
2) ZKRU, FOX, FOSF, Rex(like 6* G7), Assaj (7* G9) (about 66k power)

My purpose for this is that I hope my opponent doesn't know enough and is scared by full FO synergy into attacking the second team which also shows less power, but ZKRU with FOX and FOSF alone are quite the team to overcome dispite looking easy. (Assuming my opponent kept their best team on defense) last time I did this team 2 got 4 defenses and they did not even try to attack team 1


Sorry if this is too much info, just sharing my train of thought so anyone can help me tweak it

Hey,

A slight bit of background on me, I have done a ton of testing with first order, use them for nearly everything. Depending on your situation I would try to reserve first order for offense. They hit insanely hard compared to most groups, you can usually run 4 instead of 5 or several 2 person squads if it's 3v3. The goal is to get FO-X as fast as you can. Get your SF-TFP and FO-TFP up there as well. Either use a speed set on your fox or use health. You want to focus on health, speed, offense, crit chance secondaries, health +, crit damage triangle, speed arrow. Circle can be either health or protection, depends on your testing. Here is my .gg if you want to review my FO squad.

Ok, so.... I'd recommend.

Offense: zKRU, FO SFTFP, FO-X, FO-TFP (4vs5 squad or add FOO)
Defense: Phasma lead, FOST, etc.

Phasma has a universal lead, so you want to use her with the non-FO squad because her bonus still applies to them. She stacks advantage, but FO-TFP, SFTFP, FO-X, KRU generally gain advantage regularly. The goal is to feed FO-X and get him to hit as many times as possible. You want to force him to assist with SFTFP, use FO-TFP to stun or delay the other squad, and use kru to stun the biggest threat and/or remove taunt. Use your Fox to keep taking huge chunks of damage and you'll be fine. You'll get a nice boost to your banners, have a very nice, offensive squad to use when you need a strong attack.

Feel free to ask me anything.

Never thought of using phasma lead for the filler toons but I will have to try, I found your information very helpful so thank you very much

I'm a bit of a fan of Pal, Vader, Thrawn and both Kylos :)


But then I'm crxp at this game lol.

Took out a Darth Revan squad in GA today, they had 240 speed BSF, my FO is around 200.

The same team used to take down the most common FO team will take this team down only faster and have more protection and health left at the end.

If you choose to go with FO I can offer some modding advice. (Lord knows the other guy needs it as well)

I really think you need to understand why I have them modded the way I do, instead of assuming I don't know how to mod. I have my FO squad modified to be able to hit hard, 25-35K basics. I have them modded to be split up, for 3v3 combat, and be able to take out almost anything in a 4v5 format. I don't use them for defense, because of how strong they can be on offense. They definitely aren't a third tier team. Do some more testing, try out what I've suggested, then let me know. Put up your .GG, let me see what you have and how you have them modded.

Very often people gloss over characters because of what others say, because of what is on youtube, popular ranking sheets. Grand Arena forces you to use what you have. I have used what I have and maxed it out. It isn't anything to scoff at, I guarantee you.... I can take out squads you'd be surprised at with my FO. I don't have a test account to be able to verify and reliably verify, statistically with what I've witnessed in battles. It's experience, and experience is definitely subjective. Looking forward to seeing how the final Zeta and adding FOO changes my squad.

I’m sorry. I guess since you posted a photo of them on defense I assumed you use them on defense.

Silly me.

I’m telling you, at a higher level they aren’t used as much. Yes, they win some matches. We use other teams that win the same matches but more consistently. We don’t put them on defense because everyone knows how to beat them.

Google is your friend if you want to see how mine are modded. I’m not hard to find.

So you found a slow bsf...

My two teams:

zzKRU, zKylo, FOX, FOO, zFOST for defence depending on rosters. Still have my original arena mods on them.

Phasma, FOTP, Wampa, TFP + Tank for Offense in TW/GA versus Rebels. Still haven't settled on the best tank that isn't used elsewhere yet.

Has anyone zeta FO tie pilot? Thoughts? Anyone think it's great? Anyone regret it?

I've stocked up about 50 zetas and I'm unsure who to zeta next. Thinking about doing his just to improve my FO team. But I'm not sure it sounds very zeta worthy.

I forget all the time what KRU lead is but I know Phasma's. I am always shocked to here how Phasma's zeta lead is trash. A 60% chance for a FO to call assist seems like a huge damage increase as opposed to 20%. Then that assist gets advantage I think. I would think a really fast zPhasma FOO FOSFTP FOFTP FOX would be the best offensive PvP team, mod completely for CD and speed because they are all going to have advantage.
