Alright, here goes. I've been holding off on asking this, trying to read as much as I can and just sort of feel it out, but CLS will be obtained in a day, I've saved a ton of resources to push him to G12 ASAP, but I just want to get some feedback before I do that, because I've been rolling with Empire/Sith for a bit and put a lot into that, but would be at about a similar place with a Titans team. My DN needs work, been running zzEP, Vader, zThrawn, TFP, zSion. Could potentially shift to the traditional Titans team in a couple days, though GK is 5* right now, but OB can run in his place for now. Because the G11/12 push is real right now, I need to sort of commit to one team of the other for arena, and figure better to ask now before gearing CLS way up only to realize I would have been better keeping to the original team and adding gear to them (everyone is basically just a few pieces from 12, whereas Titans would be around G10 average for a bit, probably, but this is building for the future, so it's not to say that's a big factor). Alright, I've been typing a lot, let's leave it there for now, with current metas and all what they are right now, what do you think? My shard's top 50 is almost all Revans with a strong smattering of Trayas, and peppered with CLS combos, plus a few Bastilas.

What is "Titans?" Every time I think I know all these goofy team nicknames, somebody drops a new one.

Yeah it was R2.Here's my 2 cents. Ever since Titans were meta, all of those toons have had a place in later metas. Nightmare has been around for a while, but those toons do not have much synergy outside that team. The Titans have their uses everywhere, and will probably be building blocks for future metas to come.I feel like Titans is the safer long term bet, but nightmare might get you higher right now.

yeah, kinda mistyped that, lemme try againusing Nightmare will get you higher ranks than titans right nowTitans is an old team and won't get you super high, (nightmare's old too, but not that old), it's members are all useful outside of the Titans group, which Nightmare is much more niche

Is chasing old metas going to make a difference in arena rank for you?No.Is it worth chasing metas when you are behind the curve?No.If old metas were still viable, CG would be failing as game makers, and failing at the business model. You’re either part of the meta or behind the meta. No real middle ground there.So look to the future. What is likely to happen in the next year? Safe to say we’ll get at least one Sith in the next few months, then some FO and some Resistance as Episode IX is close to opening.Don’t worry too much about current metas, as you don’t seem like somebody who puts enough money in to play. And get rid of the multiple accounts idea, you’ll put yourself into a farming coma lol

Wait for the next pay to win character to be released (a-la-revan), hope you have the other 4 characters to go with them in the arena meta, and never look back.The 'best' arena squad currently is the revan lead Jedi's - none of which a free to play person from day 1 could (sorry, should) have completed without spending, as all the characters required to 7* revan were released as marquees.tldr: wait for a full faction of Marquee's, spend a fortune, obtain the legendary to go with them & win.

Revan now isn't as op as he was when released.

C3PO made it much easier for rebel and resistance teams to climb but Revan is still a better team on defense. Bad bastilla was a massive boost for the sith teams but again Revan will hold better.

As to what you should do? There's two main approaches I would recommend. Struggle on with what you have and stash crystals. When you have 30k crystals (also save carbs and guild currency) pick the next #1 meta team and rush it and gear it.

Second approach gear nihilus. Even 3 star g11 will do the job a lot better than tfp.

You mention being surprised titans doesn't hold anymore when cls is still a good leader. The problem is that titans is missing 2 massive components of the top cls team atm. C3PO and Chewbacca.

When titans were the #1 team it was the #1-#5 characters in the game without question. They made up for the face that there was only 3 rebels and 2 of the team didn't benefit from leader bonuses by the fact that they were awesome. Now they are merely very good characters.

It's an older meta. I think maybe CLS Thrawn Han GK and...crap don't remember the other one. R2?

Build up CLS, but stick with Sith for arena.

Nightmare will place you higher now.

Titans is composed of characters that are more useful outside or pvp and are viable on other teams

I don't understand your wording. All five are super viable in pvp and three (CLS Han and either R2 or Thrawn) are super viable when you add C3PO and Chewbacca.

If you mean they aren't viable in pvp as a strict 5 toon team then I agree.
