Is Jyn really viable

WompWompRat

As an arena leader? I see her in the meta report among the top 10 and hear so many good things about her but is she really someone to seriously consider as an effective leader in a top flight arena team?

Some combos like Jyn/R2/Chaze + 1 more (GK or Fulcrum Ashoka someday?) come to mind but does anyone think she's actually useful as a serious lead?

Yes. IMO needs zeta lead, cassian and chirrut

Isn't Chaze viable even without a leader?

I run ZJyn, Chaze, Zcassian, zR2 and it works well on offense. Can really take down zMaul teams.

How do they do on D?

A guy in our shard rotation runs this team. When he used K2, it was annoying but never failed to beat it w Zaul. When he swapped in R2, I lost once in a while now but learned you really neuter the team once you annihilate Chirrut.

No one does well on D. R1 is no different, they're probably even below average at the moment as I'm sure triple cleanse holds a little better. But they are capable of beating anyone on O when played properly, so you don't really have to pick and choose your opponents unless you find a specific comp annoying or tedious.

k2so can be a real pain with the zeta lead as well.

Yeah thinking relatively speaking (know that D isn't omnipotent) .. I have a maxed out Jyn/Chaze/R2 but haven't had a need to run it yet on my shard (still using sith, ZDN lead) but wasn't sure if a swap as necessary as I'm figuring out where I want to drop my next zetas but don't want to on a Jyn lead if it drops like 30 spots overnight

She is viable until she gets nerfed

My Jyn lead squad is my 2nd arena crew that I use when I'm bored with my Nihilus Sith squad. I use Jyn, Chaze, Cassian, and then alternate Nihilus, R2, K2 depending on the situation. Cassian and Jyn together are amazing. Cassian grenade, then Crippling Shot usually yields anywhere from 5-8 exposes, which equals one shot on your target.

I don't know how it holds on defense. By the time I get up the next morning, I usually only drop 3-5 spots

That's good to know, the only major missing link for me is Cassian who I will get to 7* soon but still need to gear up ... the slog ...

I can see Jyn/Cassian really working well with the new Ashoka .. whenever that drops
