What to do with Poe Dameron since last update

I've got a 7* Poe that I still use in arena, I appear to be one of the only ones on my server doing so. I just finished 3rd and am beating teams with 3-4K higher power. My team is Dooku, Phasma, Poe, Rey and Poggle, seems it work great! My Rey will be 7* tomorrow, can't wait!
Also, I agree it doesn't seem his expose works quite as well, but the turn meter removal does a great job.

I find it very easy to figgt poe teams. I dont know how he works in offense, but I prefer to face a poe rather than a royal guard or a sth. He is not what he used to be.

Faced him yesterday in GW ... his taunt exposed 3 of my 5 guys ... i assume, he works better on defense (with the not-existing-AI-advantage).

I have a 6* poe half way to 7* and I'm often rank 1 on my server. My current main team is QGJ(L)/Yoda/Phasma/Poe/Poggle and I have almost no problems at all. When I see RG/Rey combo somewhere, I switch my Poggle for Rey(5* currently) for more burst damage. If some1 is wondering how I am managing QGJ buff removal, then its simple. I just use yoda BM first, I simply let some1 get dispelled and after that I taunt with Poe. After that I force enemy QGJ down as he is the top priority after Rey. I am working on my Han and RG and as long as they are not arena ready, I'am pleased with Poe, he gets the job done. He works well with phasma.

Sounds nice mate, but how do you manage to survive when after first enemy QGJ dispell you - all the enemies will get offence up and still they havent done their turn ? Especially ray /who i doubt you can manage to kill before he makes at least 1 turn ... with offence up ? The only unit you have after Yoda to atack ray before he moves is Qui+assist and even Ray assisting will probably leave enemy Rey at red and then his RG taunts..
Your Pow don`t dies until the end of first turn fromm all other enemyes being taunted with their offence up ?

when I face him I have had 4 characters exposed by him often, minimum 2. so in my book he seems to be working well, esp with his high speed

Well yes it depends on the enemy team but I am not too concerned if the enemy gets their offence up. Thats because of phasma. I get extra turn and I taunt with Poe on his second turn.

Looks like nice tactic mate, thank you

I find ST Han to be more effectice in longer fights.
I run a droid team btw.

Poe doesn't have enough survivability to be a great tank.

I run Poe(L),Han,Rey,daka,Phasma and havent dropped out of top 10 since the update.

It's worth running poe in lead even though he's the only resistance character in your lineup? Does the offense boost him help hit harder?
