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- AaylaThe 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?

STHan + AoE spam (which is the current meta) will give this team fits. GeoSpy and Leia are too squishy to stand up to the abuse, and Fives/Aayla will just feed the other team buckets of TM.

Try it, and if possible, keep obi-wan at a low star level. He'll probably be defeated quickly and give the rest of your team super boost. Revive with ewok elder. Do it again.

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)- CleansesLeia 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 KenSpyFacBobaOr 88FacSpyLeiaGen 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).

That's an interesting team. Have you tried it yourself? If so, how well does it really fare on arena?

No, I have not. I took two characters that tend to give my Lando/STHan combo problems (B2 & JKA), kept your stealth idea (Teebo), and then picked the two strongest characters that punish your opponent if they're the targets left out of stealth and punish heavy AoE spam (Aayla & Fives). It lacks a cleanse, but all 5 characters are super-tough so they can rough through it.

Tuftedpaper85 took care of most of this, but the short answer is "no", and I know from experience, running a STHan/Lando team. Every shot from Aayla/Fives feeds Lando TM, so Lando hits more often and hits harder than Aayla/Fives while hitting everyone on your team.

If you really want a stealth trick team, running something like:

Teebo / Aayla / Fives / B2 / JKA

This teams makes it awful to attack anyone.

Focus B2, and JKA triggers + damage from others
Focus JKA, and B2 goes off
Focus anyone else and you're dealing with both B2/JKA triggering + potential counter damage.

On top of this, the stealth makes it so you regularly have to attack bad targets, and Teebo / B2 both bring a dispel for STHan (whom would otherwise give you hell).

I think it would it be interesting to try out kit fisto instead of fives. His potency up benefits everyone else and I think he hits a little harder. Idk but I really don't fives. He's super annoying but never difficult to deal with

At one time, I was building toward a similar squad, but this was killed by the current AOE meta and Leia's stealth nerf (aka, Armor bug fix). Here was my idea:

Nute Gunray (L), Jawa Scavenger, Leia, Ayala, 5's

Nute's leader ability gives stealthed allies 55% Crit chance and 30% TM on crit. Leia can go off, with multiple turns.

Although RNG dependent, this team could be fun to play and annoying to fight.
