I'm a fairly new player and recently I stumbled on a post from 2016. Since the game has changed a lot, characters got buffed, others debuffed, I would like to know, if the following team could still do well in the arena:Old Ben LFivesIG-100LeiaSun FacFrom what I've read in the character description, Sun Fac seems heckin' awesome, what do you guys think?PS I'm mostly F2P, maybe 10€ a month but not more

Well everybody's building phoenix, that seems a bit boring to me

Phoenix start^ then empireYeah I know, zeta Palp, zeta Vader and phoenix are dominating my arena shard, but I don't really want to build up meta squads, I could imagine, that in 6 months or so, the meta will have changed a lot, so chasing it doesn't seem to go hand in hand with my low-budget-style you knowThat's why I want to build up some non meta squad, I like the diversity

You'd think he'd be more viable with counter and dispell on his basic

Not sure any time that isn't Sith is viable anymore!

Team with Sun Fac still viable? | EA Forums

I don't think so. I think the odd teams are like talzin led, EP, zombie +2 tanks, rex "hide the nihilus", etc

Alright guys, thanks for the advice, I bow to the majority
One last question:
Boba L, TFP, ST Han, IG 88 and Sun Fac/Old Ben

Viable or not?

If "almost viable", what kind of easy to farm changes would you suggest?

Old Ben is significantly more valuable than Sun Fac in Arena, though Sun Fac's ship is one of only two taunters in fleet battles, and can be very good.

Wedge (L), Biggs, Old Ben, ST Han, and Boba could easily get you under 200 in arena.

I like that you want to use an unusual team in arena, you should, makes it more fun for all. For a while I used a team who was Empire except for a fun combo of Grievous and Chopper. I also liked Grievous so I could not be countered, and with chop I could stun r2, taunt, and buff Grievous. Now I just use a full Empire team for easier farming, but I'll return to them sometime.
I'm working on SunFac for a counter squad. Maybe with Gar Saxon and other counter attackers.

Yeah I find it pretty disappointing, that, when I refresh 5 times, 80% are phoenix squads, I mean there are so many chars and synergies and only a few are valued that much
But I guess that's just how the game was designed to be, meta chasing means $$$ haha

I personally really (really) like Sun Fac...

He has a tough little ship and has a dispell on basic which makes him gold vs NS teams. He makes a great backup tank for any lineup.

For anti-meta teams, try the videos by Starkiller1.

Oh does he work well against zombie because he counters and dispells taunt? Will try him next time in TW.

You can take any 5 characters at random like this and have *fun*, but you can't build a team that's a grab bag of legacy characters like this and be *competitive*. If all you're looking to do is have fun, then by all means the 5 you listed sound like a blast. Have at it. :)
