Wiggs + Rex? Leader?

I am getting close to being able to put my Wiggs in my arena squad.

I already have 7* SunFac and Rex. Rex is my current go to leader.

Wondering if anyone uses Rex but not as a leader? Basically Rex vs Wedge in leadership.

Example:
Wedge (L), Biggs, Lando, Rex, and SunFac


While Wedge gives offense up and heal on critical hit... I still think even the 7% TM Rex gives all for each crit received might be better...

Or Wedge would be better if you have lots of speed mods already?

    Wedge gives TM on rebel critical hits, Rex gives to everyone, if I had Rex I have him lead over wedge.


    Rex gives turn meter when an ally gets critically hit. Wedge gives rebels turn meter when delivering a critical hit. So there is a difference. That being said, Rex lead impairs AOE teams, so that's a good thing.
  • I use Rex / SF / RG / JKA / Lando and always #1 in payout and never below #8.

    May shard.

    Just don't get obsessed with speed secondaries on mods.

    If you have a mod with 900+ flat protection and 6+ speed, it's far better than a mod with +10 speed and no flat protection.

    Same with critical chance, don't get too obsessed with it. Sometimes you give up on protection for speed/crit.chance and end up not bursting quick enough.

    Pay attention to the flat numbers (flat offense / flat protection) on secondaries and you will see you can rank higher solely on these stats.
  • Thanks guys...

    Those that use Rex, Wiggs, SF... + JKA or Lando?

    JKA vs Lando? Thoughts? Is it just who you have more developed? I suppose JKA wouldn't be as neutered by shoretropper etc.
  • JKA, because whenever your ally falls below 50% health he goes nuts and also his buff immunity is good. I am using JKA instead of Lando and holds good. Lando is good too though ;) don't forget Ani's O up and now O up is working on wiggs before they were not getting increase in damage from Ani's O up.
  • I run Wiggs Fac Shore and Rex. I run Wedge lead due to TM gain on the cannons and for offence gain. Rex is there to thank people for giving me a negative effect e.g. B2 or oppositions Wedge, neuter Palpy and I run him at 240 speed to get Shore and Fac quick off the mark. I've tried them both at lead and this is a personal preference.

    It comes down to the speed of your team and who is going to protect you in the opening 'crits' you receive. Many people go for a Rex lead. Personally I prefer hitting harder in turn 1, and not being reliant on crits landing on me to boost some TM. Kinda doesn't help I run Shore as when crit immunity is up..
  • My current arena team is Rex (L) with Wedge, Biggs, Sun Fac, and Lando. Unfortunately I cannot take first at payout since I work during the last few hours and don't get off until exactly at payout but there isn't a team on my shard I can't beat and usually don't fall below top 10. I would prefer to have wedge lead instead of rex to get the offence boost but I fight several Droid teams everyday so Rex lead is basically a necessity since I don't have super speed mods
