To Han, Poe or to RG

Anyone knows Max HP I can get on RG while at 5*?

The poll is very close

You just need them sometimes

Have u guys even own a 7* Han or Red Guard? They both are terrible in arena... Poe is more a threat than both combine.

I use 7* Han and I am almost #1 every day...success rate is sometimes low but that's becuase of the OP bug GS. I smack down Poe tools all the time. Working on RG to go with Vader, especially when I get Vader to 6*.

What's your strategy to beat Poe?

In this case you want RG because you have teo healers, and a heavy stun team. RG doesn't need a turn to taunt, and doesn't taunt too long to guaratee being dead, and is ready to re-taunt as soon as Lumi wears off or a char becomes focused after which you can use Daka but RG will already protect him.

In defense Han or Poe are best. But since you don't have much damage, RG may still be beat.

All this assumes you'll cast Lumi heal very early on to extend RG life and protect your other chars from doom ...

Would he do his job at 5*?

Depends what you want. Unlike RG or Poe, Han is unlikely to survive for too long to protect others like a normal tank would but where he is useful is that before he dies, he'll give the rest of your team so much TM gain that they'll all almost go again straight away before you opponent gets too many attacks in. I'm farming Han now. Going to wait til he is 6* though before using him in arena.

But won't Poe's turn meter reduction serve the same purpose?

The best strategy is dont attack the Poe first. Most people use Poe also have Sid as (leader). Most are team up with GS, Poggle, Dooku, Daka, Ig-88, ig-86, lum, etc.

You should attack the squishy heroes.. Let say you face Sid, Poe, Dooku, GS, Lum. In this case you attack GS first. Hopefully you can stun him..

Han is waaaaaaaaaaay better manipulating the TM.

He can steal TM just by having his turn. He steal TM or gives friends TM when he is attscked, when he taunts, and when he is attscked while taunted. Also can gain TM himself.

Poe is way tougher, has more health, tenacity, armor and self heal.. And his AOE expose add more damage. He is also slightly faster unless Admirsl Ackbar leads Han. But as far as TM goles, Han is better

If you are using IG-88 Poe is still a good option. Perhaps with Jawa/Datcha also. Outside of that he probably doesnt need to be on your team anymore (since the nerf/speed change). You just lose a lot of options/damage by forcing him in.

Han is spectacular with ackbar. He can also work in other setups... But you really have to try hard to make it happen. There are plenty of better choices. If you can find a team he works with (like rebels) he is a great TM manipulator though.

RG is undoubtedly the best tank of the 3 now if defense is what you need. No competition. He is miles better than the other two at protecting your team. He will fit in most teams and perform his duty as expected, the other two need specific setups to be effective. So RG is better overall. Horrid farm though.
