First Order vs empire
How are they doing against the current meta?
Still farming FO, but still wanna know how they are doing against meta teams.
Right now I am still using CLS, Thrawn, Old Ben, Han. Don't want to gear up Vader and co.

And obviously Palp and Vader's rewoks have put them in meta territory.
It'll drop further than most because it'll get targeted a lot
Perhaps on older shards. I run the only FO squad in my shards top 50 right now (Aug 17), the other guys who did have switched to EP (which I’m working on as well). I can still reliable finish and top 50 and the farthest I’ve dropped is mid 50s.
Agreed. I would imagine as long as you focus down pilot and officer it’s pretty straightforward.
That being said JTR, CLS, zbariss teams FO struggles against. I avoid those teams. CLS teams I’m roughly at a 50% win rate and much less than that against zBariss and JTR. I typically fall to 30-50 overnight with FO but I don’t care. They are a fun faction to play. You don’t see many FO in arena because they seem to be easily beatable by any team on offense.
Currently gearing up FOST etc, but don't use FOO at all. I went FOTP instead. Bad idea?
I have them all 7 stars just not geared.
Got KRU and Fotp at gear 12, SFTP close to gear 12, FOST gear 11 and Rest gear 9 or below.
This is false. Vader has 121 base speed plus 56 speed if he runs with Palp and full Empire/Sith team for 177 unmodded speed. FOO has 145 base speed plus 30 from KRU zeta lead. That’s 175. So Vader is two points faster if mods are equal. Additionally, while shock does not stop FOST’s taunt, Vader’s ability block does.
FO needs some RNG on offense to win against ZPalp that is similarly well modded, but it is possible. The problem is they stink defensively, and a well-run ZPalp will almost always beat them on offense.
Or just remove turn meter from Vader and boost everyones tm so your whole squad goes first. Foo needs to be faster than Vader to win case closed. If Vader goes first you probably won't even get a turn.
I'd probably take out fost
Thats exactly what the enemy might want you to do, shooting at a zFOST benefits the enemy more than you because counters can also trigger the assist effect, and oh "Han will just stun FOST" well then FOO will just cleans as well as give tenacity up and 100% turn meter as well as be able to instantly taunt, immune to debuffs and forced to hit the one you shouldnt hit, you are better off starting with KRU or FOO
On defense you'll still almost definitely loose.. As do most teams anyway.
240+??!! Maybe if you face a enemy Rebel/Jedi team yes but FOO will never be in either, think before you speak.
Lol I mean I'd drop Fost and slot raid Han into my FO team to stun Vader and stop the whole empire train getting going
The problem with that is then kru is stunned or fractured the whole fight without kru and fost foo and fotp will both be out of the fight almost instantly.
I am in a late November 2017 shard. My Vader is at 239 speed. Granted, I am tied with one other guy for the fastest Vader in the shard, and we both finish first every day (his payout is one hour earlier than mine). But in more mature shards where people have had more time to farm mods, 240+ speed is absolutely a base level you can expect to see near the top end of arena. That is BEFORE Vader gets his +56 speed from himself and Palp (16 each) along with the other three Empire/Sith in the Squad (8 each). So with that additional 56 speed, you are looking at 296 speed.
Sorry man but I run on a launch shard with FO and the majority of teams below rank 30-ish have a zVader which can outspeed my 285 FOO quite easily and from there it’s all about RNG - if KRU crits on his counter to Vader’s culling blade he gets to stun someone (it’ll be palps/sion), if he doesn’t that’s pretty much game over
I would say Officer first. My biggest problems on offense come from when officer is either stunned or fractured right off the bat.
It depends on what tools you have at your disposal. If you can keep FOO ability blocked, you can kill FOTP first. If not, you need to kill FOO as quickly as possible. I use TFP under ZPalp and Vader, so between Vader and TFP’s AOE, I have two ability blocks that can neutralize FOO. So I usually go after FOTP first because his basic still does a lot of damage.
