How to beat Poe
If you want the best % chance possible to beat Poe use this team.
Sid
Gs
Rey
Hoth scout
Dooku
You need 2 or 3 of your team to go before their Poe. Pick ig-88 or qui-gon someone you know that does a ton damage that you have a good chance to kill. Poe will taunt the rest of your team into attacking him their first turn. The idea is to come away after the first turn against a maxed out Poe team both down 2 people. Then you can focus characters and win. If you absolutely can't stand using Poe this the best way way to counter him at the moment. Cheers.

Have you tried this, if not can you? I don't have the means to test it but it looks promising on paper. Maybe switch in a diff character or two. This would be a FTP option.
What about Leia, you like scout over her?

Gunray/Poe

That would be a better FTP option. Tanky characters aren't as good with as much damage that can be done at level 70. Maybe with the Mace/savage changes in the upcoming patch, I could be wrong, but doubt it.
What's the logic on using Hoth Scout here? Stun?
If so is Daka a viable replacement?
The common denominator of Ewok's suggested team? All are turn 7 heroes.
GS - turn 7
Rey - turn 7
Hoth scout - turn 7
Dooku - turn 7

...hoping one of them can take out Poe before he taunts.
So much for CG trying to diversify team comp. It's simply a race to go faster and deliver more damage. Who cares whether Asajj got "nerfed?" She unfortunately does not have a place in the current meta whether she group heals or not...
Maybe Qui Gon works there too, he'll have a small chance of going before Poe, and if not, he can remove the taunt.
If I see the team above and I have Poe/DPS I am not exactly terrified.
Excellent strategy. Several months of farming for three out of five suggested characters, while simultaneously not farming neither Poe nor Daka nor QGJ. Fantastic plan.
I would like to see this squad fully upgraded.
OK, good to know. But... in a way, is that almost an advantage? Don't you want Qui Gon going immediately after Poe so he can remove the taunt?
This will change when the level 80 cap is released.

I think the longest term solution will be the team that @reizse proposed.
I'm starting to consider all the suggestions to just 2x health across the board in a patch. It would take some of the meta off from speed...
Exactly this more if you really want to have a decent chance beat maxed Poe teams without a Poe.

On the plus side, my regular PvP team finally managed to beat Poe. A non-nightmare Poe team, but still far beyond my regular strength.

Daka: "Go ahead Poe, do your thing. Now I'll raise them and kill you - there are no stars in arena ****!"

So RNG is how you beat Poe. Awesome. Thanks for that.
All 3 can self-revive after dying. What else? Lumi to evade and heal everyone?
BTW, I have no idea what I'm talking about - just tired and brain storming.

Give the man a break, he is trying to put together a team that can beat Poe without their own Poe. That's all he is doing. He isn't claiming RNG won't factor in, but without the team he built, no amount of RNG could make his characters beat an early poe. You got to have speed that matches Poe and hope for the best... even in the perfect world were 3 of his guys go before poe, if they don't crit, they probably won't take down Poe or possibly anyone. So of course RNG is how you beat Poe.. just like it's how you beat anyone else.
People complain because they want to farm whoever they want and expect it to be good.
It's getting super annoying seeing the same thread over and over.
I think his idea is good, but it's better if you substitute one of your guys for Poe. This is like if someone try to win at basketball without shooting 3s. Maybe it's possible, but why the effort? Poe is a great fit in this proposed strategy, and he is easy to farm, f2p, very Poe-werful, and un-nerfed. I'll just use him, and be happy with it.
Ewok Elder to add more revives?
Old Ben to force your opponent to go after the revivers first?
