My advice is - you need in your team tank of your own /Poe and Han will do as obviously you don`t have RG/ , you need Lumi to heal. Try to use dpsers who have assist skills or multiatack/Qui, Gs, Dooku, Gs, Rey .. etc /. You focus RG with all your toons /especially if he is in Dooku team - you cant risk some dodge from other enemy toon and then you have to deal with hisoffence up as you can hardly kill it if RG taunts/.

Both Han and Poe can now survive 1, even 2 turns of enemy damage as your Lumi has the chance to heal. Most likely when Lumi turns come for the first time she don`t have to heal yet so you use her block ability on the most dangerous enemy /i would go with Qui lead for this to work best if you have him/ .

The downside is if you leave your team with Lumi on it after the fight - you will be prefered target for all others atacking you after this...

@Apostilo - some good advice there - my only tank is Chewy and another case of great lore / underwhelming toon.

I am farming STH just as fast as I can so couple more weeks and he will have the stars and gear.

But,

I've been running my all Jedi getup for a long time - happily and easily took #1 in my payout slot virtually every day (Sydney Aus). Happily took the overnight beating to the 20's 30's and sometimes even 60's. This meant everyone was getting a fair shot at the prizes. All good - I'd win say 4/5 on my way back up refresh 1-2 times and be in at #1 again. Happy days.

The guy at the top of my shard hasn't been moved in 2 days since the update. I'm still winning 4/5 against the other teams and am now 11-1 down against him and that was a lucky RNG with phasma lead and assists called and landing.

I don't have 86 up to scratch - next few days for that and I don't have Rey.

But in short it does mean that an all Jedi squad is a scrub right now which really makes me sad - love em or hate em Jedi are what makes star wars different

Well mate , the point is you don`t have to run the same team as the enemy to win over RG, a full Jedi squad is not working now because their speed can`t help you kill someone before his turn comes - because of protection stat and RG /RG being so valuable now is also because of the prtotection stat/ .

But if you don`t meet precrafters who are way ahead your current gear /in case you are not precrafter yourself/ , winning over RG is possible with 3/5 Jedi speed team as long as you have Yoda and you start with tenacity . Others 2 Jedi which you probably have are Lumi and Qui as lead. The last 2 toons of yours should be a good tank / no idea how is Chewby working on max upgrade, so i suggested Poe or Han/ and a crazy dps - GS will do the trick. Then follow my tactic.

I am still able to win each day and each battle with my Qui /lead/, Yoda,Lumi, Poe and GS against a whale on my server who seems to be atacked during the whole day by no more than 3 people /or less/ including me. It is strange but one of the other guys who dare to atack him and sometimes takes his rang is a droid team squad and i kill him with same setup with 5 people left on full HP sometimes ... yeah you heard right , sometimes he can`t even kill my Poe/ .

Anyway the whale in question is max gear and 1 level ahead of me and using Dooku/lead/ , Ray, Qui, Yoda, RG, so i am facing a fair amount of dodges and enemy offence ups too :)

The hardest thing is to keep 1 battle available at the end so i can change Lumi with something else , cos having a Healer in your defence team is suicide and drops you far behind the rangs , making you prefered target :)
