Ewok Theory Crafting

Alright with the Ewoks getting a big overhaul and the new toons being added, what would be the best squad? It's between Teebo and Chirpa lead, and with the stealth synergy I'm leaning more towards a Teebo lead. It also doesn't require a Zeta which will most likely be spent on Wicket's unique if it works the way the other guys said it would in his post about Wicket's kit. Now based off of this what would be the best Ewok squad in general based off of a Teebo lead and Wicket, who should make up the other 3. Is Scout still going to be the primary source of damage? Is Chirpa worth putting in because of his retribution and massive assist call? What about the other two new Ewoks? Paploo seems like a must have for the survivability of the squad. Logray seems vital for the Tenacity up as well. Where does that leave Elder, is he still a must have because of his cleanse and revive? Any constructive thoughts are welcome, comments to the tune of "Ewoks are still awful, why does this thread even exist" will be ignored entirely.

True, but that would require an additional zeta because I think it's a given at this point that any hope of Ewoks being arena viable will be Wicket's unique getting a Zeta. Plus his special isn't as reliable as his lead is and Paploo would benefit more from Teebo lead in terms of getting his taunt off faster.
What four would that be? Chirpa lead, Wicket, Paploo, and Teebo?
I don't know though, ATF works best with Chaze and Rebels. Plus I feel like you need to complete the squad with Ewoks to completely benefit from all of the synergy
Exactly, it seems like the best option for and Ewok team is either Teebo or Chirpa lead, Wicket, Elder, and then 2 others.
I forgot about the Daze, plus it says that it can't be evaded so unless they have Tenacity up Daze will land very reliably.
Right but with the new three Ewoks I think Chirpa might be dethroned as the go to Ewok lead due to the other synergies revolving around stealth.
The only real problem you start getting into is the zetas are adding up here
That's a good point. Another reason not to waste a zeta on chirpa.
zChirpa (L), zWicket, EE, ES, Logray
Nobody is really talking about how much TM they remove as well:
-Teebo removes 100% TM on his basic, and 60% on his dispel
-Logray removes 100% TM on his special
-Ewok Scout removes 50% TM on his basic
True, but tm removal can b resisted. Also, playing to their strengths, I just don't see a spot for Teebo. Sure, he can max their tm once per battle but he still doesn't provide what the other 5 can in unison. Teebo and Paploo don't make the cut imo.
Paploo is the only dedicated tank though. Like it was said they aren't tanks in the slightest. They need somebody to take the hit instead of EE or Wicket which Paploo can do potentially with his Taunt. That topped with the stealth synergy on everybody Boba would be forced to target the taunter. While that's not necessarily relevant in the current meta if Ewoks turn out to be the next arena meta team somehow Boba would struggle to get past the taunter because the rest of the squad is stealthed hopefully.
Right but like Resistence teams that would be completely useless in defence because it requires heavy user input which the AI typically ruins Resistence teams on defence. Having a tank and Elder you don't have to rely as much on the AI messing up your squad when you can't control the defence
