Someone using a Resistance team? (Poe (L), Rey, RP & RT)

In the battles of the Dark Side I'm playing with Poe as leader, Rey, Resistance Pilot, QGJ and Lumi, but I got Rey and Resistance Pilot few days ago, my Rey is 4* gear 7, and RT is lvl 63, 6* and gear 6, I will upgrade soon to 5* and 7* and gear 8. Also I have Poe with 7* gear 8. Also I started to farm Resistance Trooper few days ago.

With Poe as leader, the resistance allies have +25% offense and +15% potency, and Rey, Resistance Pilot and Resistance Trooper are the strongest characters in the game, more than FOTP, IG-86 or IG-88, for example.

But I think that with Geonosian Soldier and IG-86 the team is better than with Resistance Trooper, because with the assist, GS and IG-86 have the best special abilities, and if the assist is not Poe would be the best possible assistance (Rey, RT, GS or IG-86).

Is a team with a good speed, 149 GS, 143 Rey, 142 Poe, the slower are 116 IG-86 and 115 RP, but with the -25% turn meter of Poe RT and IG-86 will play before that any character with less than 142 speed, before QGJ (not as leader), Daka, Datcha, Jawa, Han, Phasma, IG-88, Luminara, FOTP, Aayla, IG-86, kylo, CT-5555, RT, etc., so are a good speeds.

With Poggle I think would be worse, because would be lose a good attacker (IG-86) that don't needs offense up to kill a character, Rey and GS will act before the offense up of Poggle, so Poggle only would benefit to Resistance Pilot in the first turn, I think it's better with IG-86.

Someone used a team with Poe (L), Rey, Resistance Pilot, Geonosian Soldier and IG-86?

Do you think that this team can be better than a team with Dooku (L), Yoda, QGJ, Rey and GS, for example?

  • How about a team made by: Poe(l), rey, RT, RP and Mace windu.
    Mace windu has 45% chance of expose a random enemy and he can also remove taunt with his special.
  • I prefer don't use jedis against teams with Dooku, and replace IG-86 by Mace Windu would be lose a lot of power attack. Also is better have GS than Resistance Trooper. Gs and IG-86 have the strongest special abilities, only Rey with offense up can be better, but at the beginning she can't have offense up because is faster than Poggle, so IG-86 and GS are the best, and then Rey is the 3th best attacker and Resistance Pilot have the higher attack, with Poe Rey and RP gain +25% offense and +15% pocenty, and, thanks to the -25% turn meter reduction of Poe, Resistante Pilot and IG-86 can play before a lot of characters.

    I think that Poe (L), Rey, RP, GS & IG-86 is the best combination, and easy to farm, except Rey that is slower to farm, but with 3 hard nodes not very difficult, only 55 days to get 7 stars playing 18 hard nodes per day, or 24 days to get 5 stars. RT is very hard to farm with only 2 hard nodes, and is not better than GS or IG-86.

    Dang, it goes as high as 45%? I've got to upgrade his abilities then.

    You are right to leave Finn and Mace out. Including GS does help as the fastest is Rey and Poe. 86 is too squishy and slow, though. RG is probably the best choice to ensure you get something out of Rey before she goes to the grave. I hate leaving out Trooper as there is some potential there but I feel that you have to.


    Thanks to Poe, the turn meter of the enemies are reduced (25%), it means that characters with 141 speed in his first turn, it's the same as 141 x 0,75 = 106 speed, it means that IG-86 will play before characters with a speed of 141 or less, for example before Luminara, QGJ (not as leader), Daka, Datcha, Jawa, Han, Phasma, IG-88, FOTP, Aayla, IG-86, kylo, CT-5555, RT, etc., so IG-86 is not slow in the first turn. For example, if the opponent have Dooku, Yoda, QGJ, Rey and Lumi, IG-86 will play before QGJ and Lumi, so I can kill Rey with GS, Dooku and Yoda will not kill any character, and then I can kill QGJ with Rey and kill Dooku with IG-86, for example, and then is 5 vs 2, only Yoda and Lumi remain, and now it's turn of Resistance Pilot, that can expose Yoda, maybe Lumi cure Yoda, but then I will kill Yoda with GS and Rey, and with Poe, IG-86 and RP I will kill Luminara, easy to win without lose any character. If you use Royal Guard is not useful to kill characters, you have Poe as tank, is better a good attacker.

    If the opponent have QGJ as leader, Yoda, Dooku, Rey and GS, these characters will play before Poe, but if I can kill Rey with GS, then it's my turn, if the enemy kill my Rey also, then I can kill your QGJ with IG-86 and RP, and in the second round kill GS and Yoda, it's easy to win anyway. In this strategy there is not place for RG. To use RG is better play with 4 good attackers, as GS, IG-86, Rey and QGJ as leader, for example, and then use RG as the tank, it can work to get the rank, but to defend the rank, with a lot of teams with Dooku, I think that is better replace QGJ by Resistance Pilot and RG by Poe as leader.

    I need check these different options, in around 10 days I will start to record videos to demonstrate it and I will publish it. I just get the gear 7 in Resistance Pilot, I need get the gear 8 and begin to improve the skills of RP, and also get the gear 8 of Rey and finish to improve the skills, and I will check it with 5* Rey and 7* RP fully maxed.

  • The droid teams as Poggle, Poe, GS, IG-86 and IG-88 are easy to win, my GS can kill IG-88 at the beginning and then Rey attack IG-86, if my Poe go first I will kill IG-86 and the opponent only will have Poe, Poggle and GS, easy to win. The only problem is if the GS enemy kill Rey and Poe enemy go first, but it only will happen the 10% of the times.

    Nowadays a lot of teams have Dooku as leader, not QGJ, so QGJ also will play after IG-86, so my GS or my IG-86 can kill QGJ, or Rey + RP, Dooku + Yoda can't kill any toon, only if QGJ is leader and Yoda and Dooku attack the same toon that QGJ, for example if Dooku begins attacking IG-86, Yoda attack Rey, and then QGJ attack IG-86 or Rey. When a human is controlling the team, is easy kill Rey and IG-86 at the beginning, Dooku can attack IG-86, Yoda attack Rey also to reduce the turn meter, then attack Rey with QGJ and attack IG-86 with GS, and if the 5th character is Eeth Koth or Hoth Rebel Scout, it assure kill 2 characters and now it's 5 vs 3, or stun one of the 3 characters remain, for example Eeth Koth can stun Geonosian Soldier.

    To defend the rank always the best is use fast characters, for example with Dooku (L), Sidious, Yoda, GS and Rey, or without Sidious and with Royal Guard, or with QGJ (L), Yoda, Eeth Koth, GS and Rey, but to get the rank can be useful a resistance team. Anyway I will check how works Royal Guard in a team with Poe (L), Rey, RP, GS and RG, to see if it's better than with IG-86, and if it's better than my current team with Poggle (L), GS, IG-86, Kylo and RG.
