Resistance Team

Sagefire

are they worth farming?

at the moment i cant catch up with the current meta, i made a long break and now i'm too far behind and so i have to plan a little bit for the future

I think restistance will get a huge buff when the next star wars movie comes out....a bunch of new characters and maybe a few buffs for the current chars. (same as for First Order).

I watched some videos with full resistance teams and i find them pretty good and funny to play with.

Finn, Rey and Poe are very good and maybe with R2 they will get a new toon to play with

R2 will boost the resistance team imo. It seems they need a lot of speed to be efficient but I'm not a specialist. Zfinn seems fun to play. A guy on my shard is running an hybrid resistance, zFinn, Poe, RP, B2, zSidious and can stay top 30 (not a lot of zMaul anymore).

They're long to gear, but they're also good in AAT. It can be a good choice.

Resistance is on my list of farms. They can be pretty tough if geared and modded. With a zfinn.

Had them for ages.

Use them P2 HAAT for roughly 2/2.5 million DMG.

Don't bother in arena currently.

Zeta maul team? daze ruins your day.

Rex leads? Tenacity up ruins your day.

Faster TFP on a Zader team? TM reduction will ruin your day, and Poe will likely be ability blocked anyway.

In fact, unless your poe has ridonkulous speed you'll struggle on offense in arena against faster teams. I'd say it's 50/50 RNG on offense, forget about holding on defense at all.

Some strong synergy with a zeta sidious can make them a big stronger, but probably still not strong enough to be 'great' tier for mine.

It all depends on what your expectations for them are. I have all 5 at g11 with Finn zetad. They are great for HAAT. But if you are expecting to get top 10 arena you may want to look elsewhere (unless you have ridiculous mods).

theres a good team in my arena that runs finn zeta lead (enables 30% tm and rest cooldowns when attacking exposed targets), Poe, Rey, Sidous, and resistance pilot works well if you have enough speed

evanbio

You need them for speed mod challenge...so yes. I've heard arena is fun, but the AI doesn't utilize them correctly. You have to attack exposed targets, and AI won't do that consistently. Something could change by the end of the year.....but no way of knowing how that will impact it.

If you can't catch up on Sith, I'd recommend either building FO/Resistance and hoping for a shift in your favor, or going for a Rex team.

I blow through GW easy with mine, hold around #50 in arena, blew through 9 hard easy, can get good numbers in tank raid, and of course speed mods. I don't think R2 will help to much however by EP 8 and 9 I'm sure they'll be great

Use b2 and you can 5-0 rex teams... But yea zaul is a different story. Maybe r2 will help.

Sagefire

yeah zaul and rex will be difficult but i dont think that this meta will last that long...at least the zaul. I guess Rex will always be around.

what team do you use ? full resistance, or with Sid and B2? - how's the meta on your server? more Zaul or more Rex leads?

Sidious, 14 Rex, 15 Maul, 31 other (mostly Vader)

and xD? how is it...i just saw a video and its pretty good I guess

Smapty

My R2 is still not geared enough to make a fair assessment...

But all things considered...

zFinn (L), Poe, RT, Zid and R2 look great

Won't solve the problem of this team stinking defensively in arena...

But otherwise pretty awesome!

I run a full resistance team with r2 in arena, i take number 1 when i have to, but everyone is right, defense is lacking.
