So I've been thinking about this for a while, but I'm still not sure how viable it is. Haven't tried it live yet but I have almost all the characters for it. Tell me what you guys think:
- Obi-wan (lead)
- Geo Spy
- Leia
- Fives
- Aayla

The idea is that geo spy and leia will be in perma-stealth, forcing the enemy to target fives, aayla or obi wan, three characters you normally wouldn't want to target first.

What do you think?

Not to stomp on innovation, but your distinct lack of a cleanse will be problematic. A single b2 aoe or Ani basic will prevent your Leia/Geo Spy from stealthing if they get caught out. And then your lack of a taunt allows focus fire on your only damagers.

Additionally, you lack really synergy to make any specific damager shine. I find when theorycrafting teams that Leia and spy do not synergize well as both require different supports.
Geo spy requires:
- sun Fac
- Potentially an ig88 lead
- A reliable debuff machine (Vader zeta)
- Cleanses

Leia requires:
- cleanses
- Some form of offensive dispel
- Assist calls (Biggs ot ackbar)

Both require some form of redundancy in terms of taunts and cleanses.

A dream team for this might be:
Vader (z)
Gen Ken
Spy
Fac
Boba

Or
88
Fac
Spy
Leia
Gen Ken.

More reasonable teams probably need to chose either spy or Leia to run, as the only effective taunt/cleanse is Gen Ken (who many people consider too gated to consider for teams) or sun Fac (an almost chromium only).

during yesterday's GW, i tried the latter configuration w/ the 88 lead (sans GK, with AA instead) and it didn't work out too well -- going to the well again today, will flip-flop STH/AA leads instead, see where that gets me. I don't have Boba/Vader leveled up enough to try that comp but I am curious to know if anyone else has tried that or either of these lineups.
