Building a turn meter reducing team
I've been reading up on all this info about how turn meter reduction can do wonders in raids. My question is should I try Building a team using a synergy of some kind with turn meter reduction or just use random characters with turn meter reduction skills? In reality I see no point in synergies as the goal is to keep the target (in this case a rancor) from being able to attack therefore causing massive damage over time. What way should I go?

(Edit) Speaking strictly Rancor, here.
Yes it's worth it if you have characters that can cause speed down I would use them and characters to give tm to tm reducers.
If you don’t have the high end toons like CLS, Thrawn, zSolo etc...then it’s pretty necessary to have multiple TM reduction toons with high potency. With the rest of the party likely comprised of ally assist characters to get extra attacks out of the TM reduction toons.
For a long time popular Rancor teams were similar to Teebo(l), GeoSoldier, QGJ, FOO and Phasma. With toons like Biggs and TFP mixed in at various slots.
I assume, you don't have CLS, since you're asking for help composing a complete team.
Phasma and TFP synergize well. Phasma opens woth victory march to ensure that TFP will score a crit and hence land his tenacity down.
Jyn, FOO, R2D2 and Phasma synergize well with Teebo. They offer Teebo TM or stealth when he looses his stealth.
EE and ewok scout synergize well with Teebo lead and ewok synergies.
Jyn and Bistan synergize well with other rebels giving you the opportunity to include some rebel attackers, who don't have TM reducing caåavilities
Then there's the whole Zader/empire TM reductipn mechanism.
- Wedge, Biggs, Jyn, CLS, Han (auto)
- Wedge, FOO, Jyn, CLS, Han (auto)
- Wedge, FOO, Jyn, Cassian, Bistan
- Teebo, FOO, Jyn, TFP, Phasma
- Teebo, FOO, Rex, TFP, Phasma
You may find yourself better prepared to go for the P1 solo test first- Teebo, QGJ, Wedge, Biggs, Phasma
- Teebo, QGJ, Vader, TFP, FB Luke
Teebo was the go-to for a while.This one interests me because it's the closest I have to 7* each. Only have TFP at 7 but the rest are at 6 and climbing.
Now, I solo Rancor faster using zVader, TFP, Tarkin, Thrawn, Jyn. Almost all in auto. No CLS yet.
Really important TFP gets Tenacity Down, Jyn is your main TM removal so Crit. Chance/Speed is important and save Vader's Culling Blade for when Rancor is toppled - no zeta means Rancor will have a lot less debuffs on him but you can take off 6-7% (maybe more?) health with that hit alone.
Almost impossible to solo the whole raid with that lineup unless they're really well geared and modded, but I've gotten 5+ million on auto and saved myself a zeta.
The zeta is not only for DoTs but also for TMR. Without his zeta, it's 25% chance to remove 10% Turn Meter whereas it's doubled with the zeta. A team with Teebo lead is more reliable if you don't have the zeta on Vader.
see recommendations here.
anyway, tendown toons together with TMR can do great.
because you ask this, i guess you dont have CLS or Han Solo zetad, so...
TFP for tendown
Jyn, Teebo, QGJ, EScout, Rex, FOO can do great. if you have Zader as Lead, Tarkin and Magma make this easy.
So to sum it up ...
if (Zader) {
Zader + TFP + Tarkin + Magma + Jyn/Teebo/Foo. }
else{
Teebo + EwokScout/QGJ + TFP + Jyn + FOO/Rex.
easy peasy. the else option require concetration and tactic, the zader option can be done on solo with good modding. if not good mods, you just need to do "nobrainer" moves and AVOID zader culling blade, since it will remove the speed down and tendown and will cause the rancor to hit you.
