FO Time? Has Their Time Finally Came?

Are we finally going to have toons in the DS like First Order who can crush CLS/RJT Meta? Are we ever going to see DS toons start ruling the Meta?
Thrawn and maybe DN are the only DS toons we will ever see in top arenas.
I’m sure the Devs will release DS characters as that’s what they have said in the interviews. I’m not talking about just releasing some cool DS toons, but ones that are actually at the levels of R2, CLS, RJT, Raid Han, BB8, GK, Barriss. That’s what we need. Overpowered DS toons so there is a shift in the meta. Make this happen!!!

I run NS in Arena. I def pay attention. But there are multiple LS squads in Arena and nothing else. Sure. People are running NS here and there but nothing compared to LS.
Yes I have all the NS geared to 12 with all Zetas aside from Daka.
Yes and no. Yes, they can get high in the ranks but are very easy to counter. I'd rather fight NS than CLS / Raid Han / R2 combo. Not seen much of JTR yet.
After all there are meta teams that struggle with ns but ns loses in 30nseconds to troopers on auto.
This is a great aspiration and would be really helped with by a couple of strong sith/empire characters being reworked and a top tier fo squad.
It is important to note that thrawn and Nihilus are used now because they are so good that they don't need synergy. A Vader or Palpatine rework to give a top tier leader that can use both and you are very close to a sith/empire combined team that can challenge the meta.
Also NS have to be in their synergy unit or they are in trouble. The toons I mentioned above can be thrown in almost any team and make it work. We need toons in DS like Thrawn that can work in multiple team set ups. We need FO, Empire, Genosians, Bounty Hunters that can work outside their factions more as well. Before you mention Boba Fett, he can but I don’t see him in Arena anymore. Why? Because Raid Han, CLS, R2 or much better.
Yep. And FO under KRU is good and the leader ability is good, but these TM gain teams along with huge DPS can’t keep up the health and protection gain and the squad is overran quickly. Like Rey and BB8 are a thing Kylo needs that toon that can act as a 1-2 punch.
Biggs and wedge
Rey and BB8
Chaze
CLS and R2
GK/Zarriss
Maybe one DS Krennic/DT. That’s it.
1 specific 5 toons Squad for NS isn’t the solution to the CLS/Rey Meta. It’s still here. Also I posted because we need more DS and I wanted. You however can hop of this post if this is too much for you to take in.
Agree. The LS benefits from some all out excellent characters. Raid Han' s guarantee to go first, stun and hit like a truck is hard to counter. Where is the DS answer to R2 for example? GK is the game's standout tank. Barriss a hugely annoying healer and cleanser. We had Chaze as a long running meta. Rex can still be run as a viable leader.
CLS is the best character in the game.
There's only Thrawn and DN that are excellent standalone characters for the DS.
Yes, too much for me to take in for sure.
Other people have already mentioned that the current meta is the most healthy/diverse it has been in a long time. Whining about "CLS/RJT are horrible and I hate them." just makes you look immature.
So just looking are squad Arena is a Little bit unfair...
That's exactly what INRAJ said they want to move away from. When you have a bunch of plug and play characters that can work with anybody, people take the best 5 of them and throw them together and it results in everybody running the same thing. In order to increase diversity in arena, he said they are trying to make teams that are really good as a group but do not have individual OP plug and play characters.
