So what do you think?...
CLS is falling out of favor... Jedi Rey has come in strong... shes the FOTM for sure
But is she the “best”?
...there’s so many other options...
Nightsisters are strong vs most of the cliche meta teams (CLS & Jedi Rey) but they struggle vs Empire or really any team with some strong AOE. Some variations in NS teams but once you can bust em they are are super easy
Speaking of empire... some solid options now with probe droid and Starck in the mix. Still a strong contender and can hold their own in high end arena for sure. There sooo are many options for them... even characters like...
Wampa? Yeah he can make things interesting... I think he still has yet to be fully realized...
And the other “guild events” character...
Hermit Yoda... I’ve battled some amazing teams in TW that made me realize how awesome he can be in the right team
But what about Ewoks?
They beat all of the above easily but struggle on defense... still are super fun and highly effective... quite possibly the best player controlled team of all the others
And yet there’s so many more... FO with new Kylo? Rex led teams are making yet another comeback... Zarriss and Kenobi are always a solid choice
So who’s the best now?
The best and greatest answer is all of them... it’s Rock Paper Scissors and I’m pretty happy about it
So what are you running?
...still holding on to CLS? Or finally realizing NS? Maybe Jedi Rey... or Empire even?
Or maybe something completely different...
I’m using Ewoks and they kick some serious butt...
Arena is kinda fun again... its nice that no one team dominates them all

That’s what the arena is all about. There are other sections of the game where I mix it up and play around with different teams and have fun. The arena is a source of crystals, where I play the most effective team during payout hour once a day, and if it’s the same team as everyone else—who cares? I just want to maintain my rank. If using a unique team makes me a target, then I’ll use my unique team in one of several other parts of the game, and stick to a carbon copy cookie cutter in the arena. I’m fine with that. There are other game modes that let me be creative.
Right now, I’m using Jedi Training Rey, R2, BB-8, GK, and CLS. I’ve tried others in that final spot, which is the only real variety at the moment.
You can be creative in arena... it might take some time and resources but it’s certainly an option (you might fail miserably but at least you tried something different)
I thought the Ewoks would “maybe” work and so I focused on them for a while... and they are fantastic
It’s been the same in the past with many teams... some failed but some broke the mold and held their own...
My perspective might be skewed because I’ve been playing since pretty much the beginning and have seeen so many “meta” teams come and go...
And I’ve always tried to find some alternative that can beat those teams...
But there’s more options now to place in the top 10 than I can ever remember...
It’s kind of what I’ve always wanted
(Outside of insta kills from someone like Nihilus)
They might be awful but it’s possibly an unrealized super team....
How many people have them at g12 with g12 gear on them?
The regen from Zarriss would be insane...
Might be my next project
Agreed... 50 crystals ain’t much if you are taking 500 at payout
Currently farming Wampa right now, I'm excited to get him but also afraid I'll regret not getting Hoda once new Luke is released.
What is classic titan team?
Wampa/Hermit can be viable but they are just alternatives. Not mainstream
I used to use a GK/Zarris team exclusively, now I have to change arena teams during climb
Rex lead against JTR
GK/Zarris vs CLS, Empire,NS without aco
CLS,Han Chaze vs NS with Aco
With both TB’s and TW requiring resources be spread around(the WORST thing you could do for the first 18 months of this game) a full arena squad change to g12 would take me 2 months and that’s with top payouts in both arenas.
I like your thinking here, but for the large percentage of the player base, it’s not feasible. For the hyper focused player who just plays who he wants regardless of rank and guild contribution, it’s a dream come true.
I just got CLS and am absolutely loving him. I cant auto arena battles like JTR or nightsister teams, but that would take the fun out of arena anyway.
Wiith so many CLS teams around and Chaze, i think the reign of nightsisters is over. They are very easy to beat now by most shards, but can still climb on auto against most teams. Troopers can beat nightsisters too, but i dont want to gear up 5 toons to g12 just for them.
Let’s just hope there won’t be another toon that will break the meta again.. I’m looking at you CLS..
It’s getting close to the enjoyable meta we had just weeks before Luke arrived. Many different possible top 10 arena teams.
Good job EA
using CLS as a plug 'n play character he's a whole lot weaker than with a team build specifically for him, that is very true.
I also agree that auto-ing battles is overrated, it's fun 1 or 2 times just to be able to, then it becomes boring.
I wish my leaderboard had many chazes, seems like they all benched them. NS galore though, undergeared ahol... kittens. For diversity it aint bad though.
Nightsisters can also contend in a JTR arena because most JTR teams have no tenacity up and no group healing.
But you can still take 1 in your shard with Rex leads. Empire teams. Nightsister, CLS, General Zariss.
They’re making this game more and more diverse...now it’s coming down to this:
What do YOU want to work on? What do you want to be YOUR meta?
I expect them to add more and more reworks and content releases to promote more diversity. I smell a dark side rework coming with a possible Vader and palpatine rework. It’s overdue!
I'm a stubborn old fart. Still using GK lead + Zarris. At my latest payout I went 4—0 against JTR teams, so I'm happy. Yes, it's more challenging, and I don't always win (the 4—0 was a good day) and I sometimes need to refresh once to reach my goal.
If one of them had a heal immunity however things would be different
Ewoks can handle gk/zariss

This one was a little closer

Without gk lead zarris is very easy to deal with.
Ozymandius.
There's a lesson there for all of us.
one could argue that we shouldn't focus on defence as much if we want a diverse arena =D
Yeah a “strong defense” is garbage honestly for pretty much any team... why not do something different and make things interesting?
You might drop a little more but if you can beat the competition easily then it really doesn’t matter that much at the end of the day...
