Who would you replace in my FO squad?

Hope you have carbantis lol. He’s actually super super good though. His zeta is actually useful. His taunt is amazing because it’s on a short cooldown, it dispels all debuffs on himself, and it gives all other fo 25% tm. His basic is quite nice too. Not only does it slow, but if he has advantage, which he often does from kru getting hit or you can cast marching orders on him, his basic will dispel buffs.

Ha ha who the fudge has carbantis? I probably have like 10-11 toons that don’t need them anymore, the other 127 all need them badly;)

He needs four carbantis just to get from gear 9 to gear 10, one of them in a stun gun and another in a MK5 thermal detonator. Brutal.

Soon we will be able to have 2 full FO squads when we get Pratorian Hux and Snoke. Will have an extra .5 left over for another squad too. ;)

**** is Pratorian Hux?

Oh wait, punctuation is non-existent. I get it now.

My new years resolution is to do away with punctuation and grammar and spelling all together to keep people guessing that is what you are talking about my righting write

Lol
I wasn't trying to be a grammar cop or anything so sorry about that. Anyways, I'm surprised we still don't have Hux after two movies. I liked him a lot I would really like to use him hopefully in place of FOO. Be great if he also came with the Finalizer but ships have started to feel abandoned though.

Holy crap there are some interesting answers in this thread.

Very interesting.

There are two FO teams that are proven to be good in late-game arena. They are:

KRU (L), FOST, FOO, FOSF, FOX

-or-

KRU(L), FOST, FOO, Kylo, FOX

I have yet to see anyone survive old-server high end arena without using one of those two teams when running pure FO. Some use Thrawn in the team as well, but I find that you don't really need him. If you are talking DS TB then the team makeup isn't as important.

FOX should be farmable in the next 2-3 weeks, so don't dismiss him. He 100% replaces FOTP.

He can replace yes but FOTP is still useful in some situations, Buff Immunity is a precious status effect thats hard to pass on

I haven’t seen an in-depth breakdown comparing FOTP and FO Executioner in arena, but my inclination is that FOTP would be better in shorter encounters like arena while FO Executioner would outclass him in longer encounters, particularly raids, where his TM bonuses and stacking damage would really pay off. He may also be better in arena, but FOTP’s damage is tough to beat.

I’m not sure what you refer to when you say that it has been proven to be good in late game arena.
I’m in an older shard (nov-dec 2015 don’t remember exactly) and I have yet to see anyone in top 50 or even top 100 using FO in my arena, regardless of squad comp. I have a lot of whales in my shard so don’t think FOE not being farmable yet is a major issue for them, but maybe we will see more ppl use him and FO when he becomes available for the larger community. I will certainly farm him, though gearing him to lv 12 is another issue entirely;)

Replace SFTP

FOX is much better in arena.

Stokat it's not common but we exist. There are a number of us on November 2015-January 2016 shards that are running FO and placing first. There isn't a team we can't beat on offense.

Great stuff, I really want them to be arena-viable so happy to see that ppl are having success with them!
Working on gearing my FOST to 12 now then I will try them out again (last time I tried with my current set up it was a crash and burn experience, droppen 100 spots overnight so had to go back to my boring LS squad). Will also be farming FOE when he is farmable, but gearing him will be another project.
