Hi guysI'm sometimes running my rebel team in various game modes.The team currently consists of CLSRHanChewieR2and Biggs :/Biggs ofc. being the odd one out here... I am mostly using him because he's G12 due to fleet, but he just seems a bit misplaced?I'd guess most of you'd argue old Ben, but he's in my Jedi team currently, so he's off limits... Who's my 5th rebel in Old Ben's absence?

I'd go for Bistan and make sure he's the weakest so he gets Guard. Four-turn frenzy plus Guard = Chewbacca machine gunning assist and just ruining everyone.

Baze and chirrut id cram in there for r2 and Biggs. Prepare to Move r2 to Rjt if/when you get her.

To OP,Just for the purpose of answering your question, I think C3PO would do great as your fifth.Your first 3 are already attackers, R2 could function as your makeshift tank.For balanced offense/defense, I would drop R2 and add a Healer/Cleanser + Tank on your 4th and 5th.Chirrut+BazeCHS (if you want to keep R2)

Seriously why are we suggesting STH, Chaze etc.....insanehttps://m.youtube.com/watch?v=RBKUIDqj6bU

Mind Tricks, taunts after dispel etc....Here’s an example of a badly modded Old Ben - imagine what he reaches with Good mods:

Yeah Old Ben is amazing.

But Id say Storm Han or Bistan for that team.

As a complete speculation: With the OG Falcon coming I'm expecting Akbar/Rebels to start rising in fleet, so gearing Bistan may pay off. He is a pretty good ship anyway. Maybe a Red 5 at some Point next year too.

OB is a great Hero. I run Bastila, Ezra, GMY, GK, OB in the arena. Sounds crazy but it works.

Why does that sound crazy? Lots of people used to run that.

You don’t have a tank. While you might not need one per se I’d put old ben as your fifth. 3PO is killer but I doubt you have him

I'd say Fulcrum or Old Ben. Fulcrum adding protection on every hit is very nice.
