A squad to make the most of 7* Yoda?

Hi!
A couple of days ago I managed to beat Yoda's Challenge Tier VII, but he has proven a bit of a disappointment to me. Sure, it deserves to be in the top 10 as a stand-alone character, but so far I've come up with no ideas to take full advantage of his (undeniably amazing) skills. I'm currently playing the Arena with the maxed-up Darth Sidious, Count Dooku, First Order TIE Fighter, Princess Leia and Poe Dameron. And no matter what other ensemble I try, it proves weaker.
Anybody has come up with a sound strategy?
Thanks!

QGJ (lead), Yoda, GS, Rey, Poe or Daka
You have enough speed and dps to drop their top 1 - 2 hitters and then are protected by Poe and Daka for the return fire. If Yoda or Rey get the assist, they'll get an early foresight up and Daka would get a stun chance
I'm still 5* Yoda, so I haven't put the plan in place just yet, but these are the characters I'm working toward
His health is higher than Sid I don't understand this "his health to low" meme
Sid's low health is made up in spades by his INSANE dodge rate. His evade basically makes him a tank
In my ensemble, TIE Fighter almost never gets killed: a 7* maxed-out TIE is plain amazing. Poe is very fast and manages to taunt before enough attacks reach the former, and on the whole TIE has more firepower than Yoda. He's probably the one character I would never leave out: he offers the chance to kill one character per turn, probably being THE best attacker in play (Rey is faster and almost as powerful, but her attacks rely too much on chance - whether she gets two, three or four hits in one turn are game-changers).
@Whales @SWHS
I agree with Wales: Sidious is not only great at dodges, but also provides speed, multi-attack, and damage over time. In my ensemble, and when facing the fastest characters in the game, the turns always goes as follows: it's always Count Dooku first (proceeding with Force Lightning, hopefully freezing Jedi or the rival max attacker, and/or having a good chance at a Crit; Deflection skills must always be taken into account), then Sidious, Leia (never in Stealth, a turn wasted), Dameron (taunt!!!), and finally TIE. And if the AI focuses on Sidious, no problem, since Poe is there to protect the rest, while Leia + TIE + Dooku (not so much) usually mean "I'm gonna kick your a**". I lead the ranks in my server more often than not, and usually finish my games with Poe out (if unlucky).

Was it good AI, or just plain good luck? Could you please detail the rival's strategy and squad? Thanks!

But won't the other players get faster as well? I mean, Leia, Sidious, Rey, Dooku, and Geonosian Soldier already display Yoda's speed (Dooku's faster, actually, and he can attack twice dealing a great amount of damage), and the real threat is to have Yoda wiped out before he can act (and he needs two turns to display his abilities fully). Build an ultra-aggressive team with just one tank with counterattack (Fives, or First Order Stormtrooper), or taunt tanks such as the aforementioned Poe, Han or the Empire Stormtrooper, and even Phasma for the extra attacks (add there Ren, TIE, and FO Stormtrooper, along with a taunter, and the synergies are plain awesome) and you've virtually dismantled any team displaying Yoda...
Let's hope the EA guys notice the imbalance, and fix it as soon as they can.

Qgj as lead
Yoda
Mace
Lumi
Old Ben
If I wanted to blow crystals I could easily jump down further. Not sure how far. I've gotten in the 30's with no problem but stopped because I'm saving crystals for farming Anikan
Thing is. My yoda and qgj always go first. Doku on other team goes next. After that I've killed one of their guys. And yoda probably has his dodge buff up.
My team is very fast. Once I replace old Ben with anakin I think things will be even easier. Mace is actually pretty good on this team believe it or not. His regular attack hits decently hard. If he drops an expose he puts out very nice dmg. -- obviously not fotp or Rey. But it's solid enough for this team
Mind you...defense is terrible. But, can't have it all I suppose.
Thank you! And yes, I believe Anakin will make your squad much stronger. He is very good, and if defense is your weak spot, the extra 60% damage he does on his next attack after somebody in your ensemble gets killed more than makes up for it.

I'm pretty sure he got lucky. I don't remember the exact circumstances but Yoda attacked and gained foresight first turn, second round used AoE and stole retribution and advantage. Third round have everyone the buffs.
It was cool, but I still won. Not sure I would have without Asajj debuff though. His team had QGJ lead but I don't remember the others.
Yoda has foresight, tho
And can give it to the whole team in turn 2

That's nice to hear about anakin. His skill set and speed makes me think he will go well with my team-- but of course it was only theory craft on my end. I really like old Ben but I feel he is a tad too slow on my team-- the mind tricks is usually used after 2 guys get specials off so I feel it's not fully utilized-- luminaras force blast can stall good enough I hope.
