Stuck in a rut, need arena help!

I've been playing this game every day since before TFA came out and I've never been able to get higher than the 400 range in arena rank. I can't seem to decide on a team and truly focus on only them.

I would appreciate any advice on what team I could throw together to improve!

Note - I have zader and am at 18/20 for my second zeta, no idea who to give it to.

I also have enough shards to unlock chirrut and promote once, and unlock Rex 6 star.
  • First, put your speed mods on your arena team.

    If you want to go with Zader, than Zader, TFP, Palp, RG, Boba/Qui-Gon would be good (Qui-Gon because you have him on gear 10 and for dispells). Shore would be better than RG but you need to gear him.

    If you want to improve, you need to gear your arena team to gear 10+ You have a great collection, but almost all toons are gear 8 or 9.
  • Thanks for taking a look! I definitely have an issue with gear levels. I'm not necessarily looking to use zader in arena if I have a better option in my roster, but I could give it a shot. I've been considering gearing shore but stuck between focusing on him or chaze, or maul in anticipation of my next zeta. It never ends
  • Chaze any day. Nihilus too. Since he's in shard shop put all GW/Arena/Guild Shop credits there, since it's the only way to get him past 4* quick.
  • Zader is easy to eat unless TFP is fast. If my yoda is faster than TFP I win, if not I lose. Speed on TFP and boba for early ability block and a zader team is awesome.
  • Overall, Rex (L), Chaze, Nihilus, R2 with a zeta on R2 would be best, but you haven't geared any of this toons. So you need a strategy to improve now and in the future.

    Gearing Chaze is always always good, maybe its better for the long term than Shore. Than you could either go Wiggs, Chaze and Lando/Boba or Zader, TFP, Palp, Chaze. Get Chaze to gear 10 and work on the team above thereafter.

    Sith would be an alternative route, but you don't have geared SA, SiT or Savage and the meta could have changed if you finish them.
  • Number 1, only 63 guild raids won, should probably consider joining a more active guild. More raids means better gear. As for arena you have options, for instance you have a good Qui Gon so you can build a strong Jedi team around him that can propel you into a higher payout tier.
  • I agree with above. But also you should look at the teams youre facing in your arena. You need a team with more synergy, but its also about who you like to play. Have a look at your top 100 and build a team to beat them. My bet is they are maul and rex leads, so nihilus or vader would be a good bet to beat them. But definitely get more gear on your toons, and join a more active guild doing raids daily.
  • I'm coming to the realization that I need to get into a different guild. I'm the top contributer in all raids by millions of damage, and we've only run 2 heroic pits ever, since I got zader and solo'd. With my characters now, once I come up to a Furnace or similar piece, I'm stuck for months unless I shell out cash for a shipment or hoard shard shop currency.
