Guys I need some advice. Currently I am running 5* QGJ (lead), 7* Lumi, 5* Yoda, 6* Sid and 4*Dooku. I need to replace Dooku from my arena team at least until I have him to 6*. Which won't be for a while as I am currently going all in on Jedi. Anyway, here is my dilemma. I have Assaj Ventress at 5*. I have all 85 shards to promote her to 6*. I also have just enough $ to take her to lvl70 as well. So she would be 6* lvl70, gear lvl8That is one option, here is the otherI have a 4* Anakin I am currently farming. I have enough credits to take him to lvl70 lvl8 gear. Now, I know a 6* normally would be without question the way to go. However, since I am already running 3/5 Jedi, it seems logical that even though my Anakin is 4*, at lvl70 and lvl8 gear, he would be a better option than Ventress simply because she is SOOOO slow. I need power/damage added to my roster. Ventress hits really hard, but is slow as a sloth. Anakin, won't hit quite as hard as Ventress, but with the added speed from QGJ, it seems like it could make up the difference in star level. Not to mention the heal block that Anakin can lay down... Suggestions?

Anakin is a great option with QGJ and Yoda. You have 3 guys that move before almost anyone. Sid is also really fast, that's 4 guys that move before Geonosian Soldier. Anakin also can move twice in the first portion of the game (he moves at 160, then gains 90% TM when the enemy kills first of your guys)Problem is you will have problems to beat Sid, as he dodge your jedis a bit. You can either left him to the end of he combat, and check until you pass his dodge, but it's hard. Having Rey or Geonosian Soldier would help a lot to kill him

So you suggest the 4* Anakin over 6* Ventress?

Would Sid not dodge Ventress as much? If not, she may be the way to go... Even with her speed

Sid's such a pain to kill for an all Jedi team, which sucks because he is so commonly used. I don't think Ventress would be a good fit for your team. She's so slow that sometimes I will burn down a cannon before killing her, and she still doesn't get a turn. Do you have a Rey, Daka, or GS maybe? Ventriss on AI almost always heals herself on the first turn, so she's pretty bad on defense.

No. I wish I knew how to post images on here so I could post my roster.

Since it's temporary while you farm a better replacement, maybe just 6* IG-86 and throw him in there. I would suggest you get a GS or star Dooku a couple of times, but you need the farm nodes.

Out of the two, Anakin is better. I will never consider Ventress in Arena she is just too slow. But you will be running like a full jedi team and when you face 7* Sid,who is almost in any team, it is a pain to deal with him(considering your Anakin has pretty low damage output) . Your opponent can use douku+sid and these two fast,anti-jedi toons can drive you crazy. If I were you I will use douku even as 4* and then quickly farm him.

That is what I was doing. I farmed Dooku from just the hard nodes. I now have him unlocked in cantina, but I've been using EVERY drop of $ and energy on upgrading my Jedi, hoping to have a team of 7* Jedi in time for not this next Yoda event, but by the time they bring it back a 3rd time.

Or should I just forget Yoda, and go back to what I was working on prior to the Yoda announcement? In which I'll have IG86, Dooku, and Kylo Ren to 7* in that time? I'm just torn. I REALLY want a 7* Yoda, but the time and resources put into preparation have killed my arena rankings. My team just keeps falling behind because I've put so much effort into Jedi, rather towards what I was working towards prior to the Yoda announcement.

The Yoda announcement changed so much. We all want him. I mean, come on, it's Yoda! I'm no longer sure if he's worth it, but since I've also started farming so many Yedis, it seems like such a waste to just end farming them.

I agree. I have 5*Yoda. He is cool to have, but certainly not a game changer. Im starting to wonder if all my efforts into Jedi have been in vain. Unless Yoda is SIGNIFICANTLY better at 7* than he is at 5*, I don't see him as worth the trouble.
