Who's the 5th in a rex lead team

I am building an arena team with Rex (l), GK, Chaze and a 5th.
All of them max geared (chirrut will soon be g10) with pretty good mods. Ok, and now, who is the 5th?
I've seen many people using DN, but I rather not go that route. Who else could be? Other maxed toonsI have B2, Aayla, JKA... Any suggestions? Any other?
I was thinking in B2 for extra turns, dispels, and antievasion (anti-zaul teams). But then maybe I lack firepower. Then Aayla, which damage, retribution and stun are nice. JKA landing buff immunity and damage are also really good.
Any advice?

Thanks guys.

    Ok. I will start gearing DN up, although is only 3*. Thanks for the input. In the meantime I guess I will try the ones I mentioned I try to see the best solution


    DN is supposedly the best right now, yes, but I don't agree with Dooku_for_days that anything else will make it a rubbish team. I'm using my EP as fifth, and it works great. AoE stun kan delay enemy DN's annihilate and second forcedrain. Shock will prevent enemies from stealthing under Zaul lead and also prevent healing/buffs/taunts if facing an enemy Chaze. Multiple shocks will give your EP enough TM to actually make him a great attacker. I always get to kill enemy DN before it annihilates. Only drawback is, that I have lost a few battles where I left enemy Zylo for last, even if I still had all my 5. Big mistake. With a sturdy enough DN you won't have that problem.
  • Nihilus is pretty important for that set up. If you want to do something different, I recommend using ackbar as your lead instead of Rex. His lead will speed up chaze, he still cleanses, and more importantly tactical genius can allow nihilus to move back to back (and thus get to annihilate quicker)
  • Thanks guys. I tried for some time B2, and works, but I lack firepower, so I tend to time out some combats, plus, against a zylo or zavage is way to complicated to win.
  • Just an update: DN is indeed the best 5th component. Running him now (5* g11) for a week and consistently being 1st in my shard at the payout, only falling overnight to at most position 15.
    Thank all for the input.

    PS: annihilate zylo, baze or shore is highly satisfying. Specially Zylo.
  • For offense at least R2 will also be viable, I will have to see if he holds on payout, usually with Nihilus I hold against my rival running Zaul. Will keep you posted
  • Maybe Deathtrooper as the 5th. A dispel or lower CD, Daze plus a chance to Stun,
    Terminate, Deathmark. Plus double hit on Rebels who are everywhere. He's slower but Rex can speed him up.
