Zeta old ben or Raid Han?

Hey, unsure of who to zeta first out of Old Bens Taunt or Hans Unique.

Arena team currently Rex (L) CLS (binds all things Zeta) Thrawn, zR2, Old ben

Will 7* Raid han this evening so wanna put him in place of rex and run CLS (L) Thrawn, zR2, Old ben and Han

Han is G10
Old Ben is G12

Looking forwards to hearing everyones thoughts
  • han's zeta > old ben's zeta
    Han becomes quite a bit better once you zeta him, old ben not so much. Han is an amazing character imo, so much dmg and utility. He's squishy, but his counter is no joke.
  • I would do Old Ben. G10 RHan is to squishy.
    But I use G10 zBarris in that exact team... no Old Ben... no RHan... though my R2 has both zetas.
  • I'd zeta Han, he's more viable in different teams and his basic can double attack. I have him at Gear 10 and his basic will hit for about 16k for the first his and then 8k for the second hit. That's usually all of the enemy's shield.

  • Old Ben will still be slow with a zeta taunt. Your best protection is a fast r2 smoke screen to hide your Han at the start of battle.

    Han really should be geared higher for top level arena. If you want to use him now, then I'd zeta and gear him ASAP and make r2 your fastest character. Then I'd think about a CLS or old Ben zeta.

    That is a good point about fast R2, and about gearing up RHan, but I found it failed when the other team also has RHan... when my RHan is under-geared.
    My R2 is very fast and with a G12 Old Ben, R2 should target cloak on Old Ben... giving him a de-facto-taunt near start of battle. It is what happens with my zBarris.

    Basically, using an under-geared RHan will be a liability compared to the OP's Old Ben, when used against other teams with RHan. But once RHan is G12 (or 11 maybe) then the calculation switches imo.
  • If you only have enough zetas for one ability then I suggest you wait. The new raid will be out presumably around the end of the month. I’m waiting to see what the best rooms are for it and if they’ll need any zetas.
