The Galactic Rebel Players Discussion

I'll start!

Here's a Rebel team I've been running after experimenting with the new reworked rebels...

I didn't save gear for Luke so it will be a little while before I get to throw him into the mix

Jyn led revamped rebels (would be much stronger with zetas on anyone other that Jyn)

Edit: yes I know I've been an empire supporter almost exclusively (and still am)... but it's fun to try new stuff ;)

How can we not already have a Galactic Rebel Players Discussion thread??? MADNESS.

I'm also intrigued by Jyn lead rebels. They are still (hopefully) viable in the new environment, and even with their painfully low regular damage, once the expose machine starts chugging, it can be beautiful to take someone from 100% to dead.

I think your set up is the only one that will work. You need Cassian for the debuffs (otherwise why run Jyn?), and R2 also brings too much to not include. So yeah, drop Chaze for Raid Han to control the battle at the start, and OB to taunt and bring more exposes.

My only worry is going to be losing out on the heal + tenacity up + protection regen from Chirrut, and his occasional 30-40k crit to take someone down. But if you bring Chirrut, then it's tough to drop Baze, and we're back to a typical R1 squad.

Basically ... yeah. I want to make Jyn leader work with the new/reworked characters, but the question is if Raid Han and OB are > Chaze.

I've never used chaze... but I think in this team you could *maybe* sub Baze for Raid Han

You miss the dispel in this team and sometimes that can bite you in the butt...

I'm "kinda sorta" working on getting Baze up to par to try it out...

Han brings a lot to the team though and would be even nastier with his zeta (and if I modded him appropriately)

I'll join in.
I've been using Ackbar, Shore, Leia, Ezra and R2 for a while now. There's an odd one out but he'd been the best option for me, hoping to eventually replace him with GK. Wanted to swap Ezra for Commander Skywalker but I don't think I'm gonna get there.
The team does pretty well and keeps me in top 50, and I've been closing in on 20. Hoping the rework on Leia might give me that oomph. Ackbar and R2 have a really nice synergy with all the assists giving cleanses.

I'm running Luke, old Ben, Kenobi, Thrawn and Nihilus. The dark side toons kit are too good to be ignored, looking for some toon to change them. Maybe R2 and or raid Han?

By the way, I put old Ben at lead and as expected works pretty good if the enemy doesn't have R2. Dodge meta back again, let the hate flow :D

Ackbar is an interesting idea... I feel like the AI wastes his dispel/ heal most times unfortunately. The speedo from his lead is nice... and the assists. Could be solid with ATF and some other high damage rebels...

In your team I would ditch Shore for Old Ben... R2 is going to focus fire on him and he honestly brings a lot more to the table in a Rebel team than Shore does

I tried the Old Ben lead but didn't have much success with it... maybe just bad RNG

I really love Jyn lead for all the exposes... especially with Old Ben now being a "rebel"

Makes that initial taunt on the other side an easy kill...

I've considered throwing DT in there instead of Han for his dispel and cooldown reduction...

It's still early... lots of experimentation to be done still :)

For a while there I needed a Pretaunt. Might still do, but I'm not sure. Shore actually benefits a lot out of this team, any time he loses a buff he taunt's cooldown is reduced, and he's losing buffs often with Tactical Genius and Forsight from R2.
Still, Ben looks good since his rework and I'd be lying if I said I wasn't considering him. He could make a nice opener with Mind tricks and Taunt off of Tac Genius.

@Smapty I want Jyn ,but have some conspiracy theory against me, she rarely appear at shipments, lol

Still think Luke lead is of course way better, but have been fun with old Ben. Unfortunately on defense Ben uses taunt first, mind tricks could be a better option there. I thought about adding a zeta Barris and we might have some sort of timeout squad again.

As expected didn't have too much time tro try many diferent comps, some people say raid Han and R2 makes a great combo to join Luke too.

So far on offense is great, make Thrawn give TM to Ben to apply mind tricks, then goes Nihilus, u start with +2 Cooldown right off the bat.

I usually run jyn lead, cassian, k2, Zeb and boba. But after the reworks I've swapped boba for Leia her damage is incredible

I've stacked Jyn on speed (for rancor but I like it for arena as well) so she goes first and stuns and steals tm. Cassian (speed and potency stacked) then tosses debuffs around inflicting some exposes and gaining tm. I have my k2 modded to go after Cassian to inflict daze on someone and calling Cassian to hit for some major damage. Zeb then follows up by stunning whoever was dazed. I can't remember off the top of my head when Leia goes I just added her in but I have her stealth to get her train rolling. As long as I can knock out their DN for a turn I'm usually all set. After the first turn Cassian stacks exposes and debuffs for massive damage, Zeb staggers and stuns, Jyn zaps tm, k2 takes the hits like a wall, and Leia dishes out incredible damage
