has anyone tried/seen these CLS arena teams?
I mostly want to get a sense of how viable these teams are before I start gearing the toons:
- CLS (L), R2, raid Han, Gar Saxon, K2SO/Fives/Dooku/Thrawn (counter team)
- CLS (L), R2, Cassian, K2SO, ???
- Wiggs (L), CLS, R2, Zarris (self-heal team)
- Ackbar (L), CLS, R2, Leia/raid Han/OB (pick 2)
- CLS, R2, Leia, raid Han, ???

ATF most
OB second most
DN/GK/GAT/Chaze/Leia randomly sprinkled
Also, a single use of Wiggs, and the #1 on my server is using ATF and Jyn
Al the top-10 on my December 2015 server are using him as leader currently
You'll want Leia in there too... ideally Luke (L), Leia, Raid Han, Gar and ?
The last spot can be whoever... probably GK is best
It's pretty dissappointing... even with massive offense boosts with mods to Leia, Han & Gar it still just doesn't do well unfortunately...
Seemed great on paper... not so great in practice
My experience at least... maybe you might have more luck?
If you have a geared GS, play around and let us know how it goes!

I was starting in on GS, but I might steer away from that now unless someone else had a more positive experience with it. I was in the middle of building an Empire team (Thrawn, Tarkin, DT, ??, ??) when CLS dropped.
GaS = Gar Saxon, please.
That's what I'm using, but it's not great. I used to have R2 use his AoE to give everyone a flame first, then Nihilus uses his AoE to increase their cooldowns after the debuff. Now, under a CLS lead, they all counter R2, and then they all counter Nihilus. Baze does his AoE dispel and they all counter. I need a new approach that doesn't rely on AoE. If R2 gives them all stealth, every attack sends the counters to the tank (Baze), who dies much sooner than he used to. Then Chirrut is out, and it's all over. Oh, yeah, somebody is also fractured. Fun times.
AFAIK you can't be countered while stealthed . So just start with R2's smoke screen then AOE all day.
I've seen two of these.
An Ackbar/zCLS/R2z2/Leia/Han Zolo pops up in my Top 15 each day, but doesn't stay there on defense come rewards time. It seems to be able to beat a specific team this person has trouble with but doesn't have amazing defensive staying power. That being said, I was unable to beat it.
I have seen a couple CLS/R2z2/Leia/Han Zolo teams pop up. The additional toon has usually been GK or Ashoka Fulcrum. They're tough teams.
Myself, I'm headed towards a CLS/R2z2/zLeia/Han Zolo/Old Ben team. In part, I think it will be a good all around arena team for all the variety we are facing now. And in part, it will be fun to play those characters together.
How does this team hold up in arena - and what is the speed on the STH?
You were holding onto 100 zeta mats?

R2
Leia
Luke
GK
I run this team, top 5 everyday, old shard, can run through teams and AI uses it properly
R2 the fastest, Leia needs to be next with good damage, then Luke, CD mods also
*Results may vary*
Such a fun team
Do you remember how geared the ATFs were? Unfortunately, I'm not in a HaaT guild, so no GK for me. ATF will have to be the next best thing, once she's farmable.
Maxed. There is only one that stays in my Top 20 but it's a whale. 7*, maxed G11, maxed abilties, 20+ secondary speed mods.
However, I have heard that the team is viable as well even if she is more moderate.
CLS
Leia
R2z2
Han Zolo
Old Ben (G9)
I just switched to this team, but am really struggling against Rex+Chaze teams. But I maxed speed on my teams rather than going for the mod bonuses. Do you think slowing Leia down but increasing her crit damage would help? She's currently at 253 speed, then R2 at 247 and CLS at 234. That's before Ackbar's leader bonus. If I get rolling, the other team tends to stand still. But feeding Rex TM with crits really bogs me down.
I tried something similar and never managed to beat strong Rex leads, especially when it also included Zarriss and GK. Speed never seemed to matter even when my zeta Han would start and my R2 would stealth before they went.
I also tried Leia with both faster speed and stronger hitting power. She holds better against this team specifically with the hitting power but I realized if she isn't able to stealth first it doesn't matter because 100% of 0 damage is 0. At 253 speed she's plenty fast. If you drop to the 240s and can increase your damage with an offense cross mod, for example, I would go for it. Just beware if she drops too far under 240.
