I was planning on replacing Pilot with R2D2, but now with the expose fix i wonder if replacing Rey would be better... any one have any info or experience? My R2 is G10 and Number Crunch Zeta. https://swgoh.gg/u/theopatino/
I have a guildmate with all six resistance toons maxed, and he runs zFinn L, Poe, RT, Zid, zR2D2 in arena. He considered zRey but R2 works out far better in practice, so I would say go with that. Since maxing that team out (with Poe at 252 speed) he's been winning our arena shard daily up from topping out in the mid 20s before R2. It's a great team. When I have tried to fight him with a maxed FO team with a 233 speed lead-off I end up being obliterated, and literally can't move for a full minute (at 4x) while all my toons but Kylo and FOST die, and those two are out of protection. It's insane.
I run zFinn in arena, sometimes. I would definitely bench Rey, the team is all about control. I have beaten five teams now without a single character on their team taking a turn. Only with RP in though not with rey
Full resistance is only good for GW. On defense they're terrible because AI does not always pick exposed toons. So you need toons with aoe to spam those exposes. I've checked your rooster, you should add kylo and R2 instead of RT and RP.

Haven't you faced a fast Sith Assassin under a zMaul lead? For example: https://swgoh.gg/u/synergy/
263 speed SA, and I've seen faster. Under zMaul that's 263 x 1.25 = 328.75 effective speed for the first turn. Also, zMaul is modded to go after SA, then DN goes.
My guess is that a Resistance squad on offense could weather the storm, especially with R2 giving stat boosts. However, I don't know if that would hold on defense at all on my shard.

Tried it, kylo isn't a bad i idea but you cannot under any circumstance drop RT, he has the dipel for auto taunts and gains loads of tm

Not Ture....
I have not dropped outta top 10 since getting R2 and the expose changes, Resistance is great in the raids, especially tank raid P2, and as you say they are good in GW (great in GW imo).
Check my arena stats an see for yourself, https://swgoh.gg/u/usamazing/
Before I got R2 my squad did drop on defense, Now my squad doesn't drop on defense like it did before.

Honestly I find resistance good but seriously flawed in arena. I haven't compared my mods to USAmazing, but I have the same composition with r2z2.
I do not use this team primarily in arena as my zaul team is better but when I've subbed them in for top 10 arena play I've noticed these huge flaws:
They're tremendously volunerable to tenacity up and ZQGJ foresight at start of match but if they can get early momentum with exposes they can be gnarly.

I replaced RP with R2 (no zeta yet), and was able to get back to top of arena.

Looking to make the best possible team for the raid and for arena.
Although two characters that can AOE expose and one that does AOE damage to pop all those exposes would be nice

I think you should go all Resistance, zRey, she will benefit from zFinn leader and From R2z2s abilitys.
Check out my Resistance set up...
