Suggestions for a defensive team for arena?
Advance disclaimer: I know that "arena defense" is somewhat of an oxymoron in this game. I'm just trying to do as well as I can. So I provide a lot of advice here but now I am looking for yours. I w...

Well I used my Jinn/Yoda team to claw back into the 30s from 71 and then for my 5th fight switched to Phasma / Dooku / Daka / GS / Lumi. I won that fight so now around #29. I deliberately did this 5 hours before our arena deadline on a Sunday so I can see how well it holds. Hoping the RNG factor with all of Phasma, Dooku and Daka will help. These are all also relatively simple characters that the AI is less likely to mess up.
I cant use Fives yet. His power level is too low and would make me a target. But I might eventually sub him in somewhere. Its super hard to get rid of Lumi though, she is just so ridiculously good.
The Proc rate of Daka and Phasma seems to be buffed on AI, don't care what's been said before about RNG, I run a Phasma Daka team and I consistently only get half the procs the AI does, day in, day out.
I hope enough people agree with you that they want to avoid my team. ;)
I'm now thinking about going to Poggle lead with GS, IG-86, Daka and Poe. Would that be "porcupiney" enough to keep people away? It will require 5 MM credits for leveling Poggle and IG-86 though, and another 1 MM for star upgrades, and then I have to farm gear for them. But once that's done I will have them. Poggle seems pretty versatile. And both Poggle and IG-86 are essentially "free" for me with my GW stockpile.
This team is likely weak against the big speed teams though. They will get several shots before Poe taunts. One reason I wouldn't use IG-88.
I think I also will just now accept that 50 crystals per day is the cost of remaining competitive in the arena... at least, as competitive as I am willing to try for (I'm not going to spend extra crystals to bypass timers and engage in the snipe-fest in the top 10).
