  • Well I'm not sure there's a 'meta' for Jedi. However, I ran into a squad in GW node 9 that I threw 26 G11 toons at and still couldn't beat. It was General Kenobi lead, Yoda, QGJ, JKA and R2D2. I tried every strategy I could think of. I quit and retried with the same squad, quit and mixed up squads, went with Wiggs and Chaze with Rex lead, Zader with Zylo, it didn't matter. Most frustrating GW node I've faced in weeks. It was a massacre.

    Many Bothans died.
  • ZQGJ, Zoda, GK are the core of the meta.

    Missing one or a zeta severely reduces that.

    Also since you're not dealing with Zetas, at your level it's rather irrelevant.

    Honestly, you're better off giving up on Jedi for now and working on rebels. Rebels are extremely noob friendly, strong as fuck, and can hit top tier arena decently, and destroy a lot of comps. Jedi's are extremely weak without Zetas and GK.

    Mid game it may not matter, but characters like aayla are good for stuns. Unfortunately stuns don't do much anymore with Triple cleanse so she's irrelevant imo.

    ZQGJ, Zoda, GK, Ani, and R2 with both Zetas are imo the best all around Jedi team that can tackle nearly any scenario thrown at them.

    IGD, Mace, Lumi, Bariss (unless Zetad), OB, Kit, Kanan are all pretty lame in general.

    Aayla, IGD, Zariss, and Plo are situationally good.

    It's a lot of work for a good Jedi team. A good Jedi team to me is solely for the end game players who have access to the materials to get them there.
  • Best Jedi Team IMO = zQGJ, zzR2D2, GK, JKA, Ezra
    You could also sub in zYoda for JKA or Ezra.

    At your level and with what you have run JKA(L), QGJ, Aayla, Ezra, and Lumi
  • I've been running mostly a Jedi team for arena since I started and I'm up to 75 now...don't have access to all Jedi yet either.

    What I've been running is QGJ lead, Ezra, Mace, Lumi, Barriss. I usually go 5-0 on my arena fights but the problem is with no tank you don't stand a chance on defense, and Lumi is garbage if they're focusing guys down one at a time so your blasting off her heal while 3-4 of your guys still have protection up and getting no benefit from it so Lumi is really only in my squad right now just due to lack of better options ready to use. I've been getting my Kanan leveled/geared and dabbling with him a bit...some fights when they debuff a lot and can't get rid of his taunt he's a rockstar, but other fights they just strip his taunt and he's slow with a 4 turn cooldown on it(til level 78 it gets -1) so he's pretty much a waste of space for a few turns after that.

    I think Bennehftw called it though...Jedi really aren't all that good early on. I plan on still working my Kanan a bit and see if he gets any better(I'm hoping the cd reduction reduction at 78 and modding him with some crit damage mods since he crits a lot will make him a bit more useful)...but it really seems like Jedi get screwed in terms of tanks til you can get GK compared to the tanks you get in other factions. zQGJ and Yoda passing out foresight left and right seems like it can help with that a bit...but obviously you or I can't zeta yet because of our levels so we are limited there.

    I think ultimately for pure Jedi I plan on running zQGJ lead, Ezra, GK, and then rotating in some combo of Barriss/Anakin/Yoda depending what I'm up against, possible Kanan depending how he turns out when I finish him, and long term I'm sure Jedi Luke will end up in there somewhere...but really I've just accepted that my Jedi squad isn't going to be a top 10 team anytime soon.
  • zzR2 adds so much firepower to a jedi squad. Gotta make room for him.

  • META just is just a statistic to see the most used ingame characters. The only Jedis that belongs to that META are GK and QGJ.
    And most top Jedi users for arena run a combo based on QGJ, GK, R2 + 2.
    A small Jedi users like me with no GK yet and no R2 developed (I know I should do it) run QGJ, Ahsoka, JKA, Yoda, Ezra :smile:
  • I've always taken "meta" to mean "meta-game". Meaning, the basic game rewards high-speed, high-damage, area of effect attacks.

    Jedi do... none of those things, so there is no Jedi meta, and hasn't been since March 2016.

    TBH, Jedi as a faction (without GK) are only slightly better than Nightsisters. I would advise that you stop investing in them, and move to anybody else.

    QGJ and JKA fit into any team, though.

    I agree with this. That's probably the best Jedi team right now. I've been using it the last few days and it's done really well.
