Squad ideas with videos

I've read many posts and comments on who is OP, who should be nerfed etc. So I decided to share my squad ideas and videos here.

Note: there is always a better squad. There is always a better idea. I just tested different squads for one purpose to show you: you are not right when you are talking about nerfing toons. Think and test.

I beat top tier squads and players without QGJ, Rey, taunt and so on. If you can't beat someone, it is most probably your fault (if you are not far behind your opponent). Even 8k power difference can be handled. And when someone is talking about defense, I go mad... What defense? There is no unbeatable squad. You may think you have the ultimate squad, but you don't. Me neither.

Assist party in Arena: Phasma, FOTP, Fives, Echo, Rex vs AA, Leia, Aayla, SF, RG (no Rey, nor QGJ, nor taunt on my side...)
Gear VIII-XI level 80

Any many more here on my channel.

So which one is to be nerfed? Rey? QGJ? Leia? Lando? GS? SF? Ben? Please...

About defense: as there is no defense (my 40k squad was beaten by a free to play 32k squad, so...)
You can hold your position if you are agressive enough and if you play the right moves. What's the reason to beat someone 5 times if they fight you back 5 times? So when someone tells me these are insteresting squads but what about the defense, my answer is I can hold my position with all those squads and can't hold my postition with any squad at all. I hope you enjoy the videos and get some ideas. One more tip: use your omegas wisely. Guess it's better to increase a chance from 25% to 50% or from 45% to 55% and so on instead of 5% extra damage on a basic or even 15% on any skills.

    Thank you, @ripthestage, for your effort of making all these videos. It was very educational. Me personally also hate when people start crying for nerfing a toon. I am an FTP but never complained about a character being too strong and has to be nerfed. Why people whine for toons being too strong instead of go farm these toons, I'll never know!


    Oh because maybe some people want to experiment with other toons, but the other toons are shit and these strong toons are just too strong, so you can just copy what thousands of users are doing and not give a fuck because they can be farmed.

    It's also easier for DEVs to nerf toons than to buff several other toons it seems. Well, that is the argument many people use when justifying nerfing stronger characters. Just sounds like being lazy to me though, but hey it is easier to just play with one character and to change one.
