I really like Lando. He is also really powerful. He can deal massive damage to an entire team and heal himself up to full health on a Wedge lead team just by using his ability. He seems like he could be a catch all type of hero. With the exception of a counterattack team, his ability seems to work great against any team. So here is my idea. What if an entire squad was built around Lando? A squad that kept him alive, prevented him from getting ability blocked/stunned, gave him lots of turn meter, and gave him buffs like offense up, critical damage up, advantage, etc. He could theoretically ignore tanks, stealth, etc. and level an entire team all at once. This could work in arena, GW, raids, TB, and other places.Has anyone tried this? Also, what do you think the optimal Lando team would be? Thanks in advance for the ideas.p.s. Even if the best Lando team you can think of isn't "meta," I am still curious to see what it is.

The consensus generally seems to be that despite Lando being a really useful low-to-medium character, his leadership ability is just not good enough to sacrifice others for.Look around in your Arena shard- see many Lando-led teams? Think about why not my friend.

Wow, going back in time:). You missed your time my friend, Lando was Meta a while back ... a year? It was when Wiggs first hit the stage and you also had to have a super fast Boba.

Unfortunately there are too many retaliation mechanics in arena and GW to make a viable Lando-centric strategy. But he is useful in PvE for exactly the reasons you've mentioned.Ackbar and Jyn can feed a Wedge-lead Lando lots of extra uses of his AoE attack, and of course, Wedge's leadership generates great tm gains.

Lando, Akbar, Thrawn, First order officer, General Kenobi/Baze or, maybe even Stormtrooper Han and Thrawn gives first turn to Han

Lando just doesn't cut it in arena. Switched him out lately. Even if you plan his attack in offense correctly to avoid counters, then in defence he just kills himslef. But he is ok in TB, even more then OK. Also first stages of GW are a breeze with him.

Crit immunity & counterattacks are his weak points, so you would want a character to apply buff immunity to the opponents & a second that could daze enemies or stealth lando. I would definetly use wedge as a lead for the tm regen when getting crits. The last spot should go to a tank if you dont have one filling another role.

Im thinking wedge, lando, b2, r2, & for the final spot use biggs, thrawn or gk. I dont think this team would do that great though due to buff immunity getting cleansed by gk/chirrut & baze dispelling stealth.

Well I was just crushed in arena (level 78, I have wiggs chaze ezra) by a lower levelled very simple wiggs lando boba sth team: his StH was fastest, Lando got his mojo going, my chaze counters did the rest, alas.

If you want a great Lando team, just look towards TB. We have a team called Crouching R2 Hidden Lando. All centered around keeping Lando hidden and powerful. Lando lead, 3 tanks, and R2d2.
