Is ZFinn still viable for GW
I see nothing but CLS, Thrawn and R2 in top GW nodes now days. Is the zFinn lead resistance team still viable? I am thinking about zeta Finn, but for ships and not so much GW. Thoughts?

I had the same problem once g12 dropped I couldn't finish the final node literally every day then I zetad finn and I haven't lost a gw since
In answer to your question, yes he is viable in GW and is even more valuable in TB. Resistance will only get better with the movie coming next month too.
For speed, aim Poe for the 230s if you want best results in haat as well.
Evwryone should have full potency mods with potency cross.
Rey and her zeta are not mandatory
I can't do every node every time in GW with this team, I sometimes need to swap in my arena team. But this get's be through 95% of it with little trouble. With more gear and better mods I could do 100%.
She is resistance
She is but she doesn't bring anything to the table besides damage. The point to a Resistance team is to keep the exposes running so you are constantly giving your team tons of TM and reducing theirs with Poe's taunt. You can use Rey if you need to but she is by far the least important resistance member.
You can use that team just fine. Resistance start being viable for GW at g7-g8 as long as you have zFinn, and all of the other's skills that expose maxed. So RT's basic, Poe's taunt, Finn's second special, RP's special, BB8's Illuminated Destiny, etc. Just know that the lower geared they are, the more you have to compensate with mods.
While this is true, I find Rey's zeta very useful for dealing with rebels. CLS led teams are a pain with their counters, and Biggs can cause a lot of trouble if he is constantly gaining a ton of turn meter from crits. Yes, you can get daze from BB8 too, it's just not as effective, and it's a waste to attack with him instead of using him for Covert Data Transfer and Illuminated Destiny. She's pretty situational though, I'll admit. Swap her out for R2/BB8/Pilot as necessary.
It's the real deal.
For reference, they took out G11 / G12 hybrid on Node 6 (Zader) and a CLS team on Node 12. I was pretty happy with the zeta investment.
I find R2 an effective way of dealing with rebels. When he stealths the team, no worries about counters. And his stun on basic can help keep someone like CLS at bay.
(Speedy Rey with zeta to take care of counterattacks and shut down Luke’s TM gain when other Rebels are attacked)
As mentioned, the core you need to make the mechanic work are Poe, zFinn lead, Resistance Trooper. Poe needs to go first and be super fast. Potency is king. You want to inflict as many exposes as possible, and every time you damage a toon that has an expose your whole team gains TM. R2 works well with the team. Darth Sidious is also good synergy since he has an AoE expose.
Since there are more CLS with Learn Control Zeta it's a bit harder : CLS often resist expose and stun, so R2 is necessary to prevent his counter
And CLS gains TM with each hit on rebels so it's annoying
Mod them right, stick it on auto, occasionally target manually and watch the show.
/Yes.
Unless he's dazed by Rey, which is un-evadeable and irresistible. Daze prevents both counter-attacks and bonus turn meter gain.
Only problem is his cooldown doesn't reset like the rest of the team so for a couple turns he just sits there doing basically nothing.
