Who would you replace in my FO squad?
Right now I use the following set up: zKrum (L), zFOTP, zylo, SFTP and FOO. Replacing Krum is not an option but I am thinking of replacing one of the others and bring in FOST (and possibly at a later stage FOE).
Would you remove anyone in the team and if so, who and why?

FOTP is the main damage dealer doing incredible damage but don’t bring anything else to the table. What I really like with SFTP is that he can call in another ally to assist (like FOTP) who will stun target and gain advantage. His AOE gives allies speed up and can inflict defense down but on the other hand don’t do great damage. zKylo has similar advantages with his lash out (which gives tm instead of speed up) and can stun with his outrage but last longer in a fight since he is tankier. FOO is hard to replace.
Will probably do that, thanks! Beaides I could still use SFTP for his ships even if Inremove him from the squad so the gear invested is not necessarily wasted.
FOE is a toon that gets stronger the longer the fight goes, i tested him a little bit in TB and i gotta say he has impressed me even at only 4 stars, he seems to be on par with FOTP, hits quite hard but doesnt have the debuffs, instead he is designed to slow down the enemy like FOO, i dont know how he will do in the arena but in the raid i think he is the key to create a good solo team, you would have 2 tmr toons, KRU to deliver tenacity down, FOST for speed down (better than Phasma because you have to wait for cooldown) and Kylo to give 25% or even 50% tm to those with Advantage, maybe this isnt enough to take out the Rancor on their own but they will most definitely be more effective than with either of the pilots, so to summarize:
Pit: Extremely useful and most likely the final key piece to FO solo team
AAT: Will be able to demolish the last 3 phases but dont know vs Grievous
Triumvirate: Maybe good to kill the underlings but i belive the pilots are better here
Arena: Difficult to say, dispell will be very useful thats for sure especially along with FOST and KRU, time will tell.
Also for mods i dont know whats better for him, Offense mods or Health mods, he gets stronger the more health he has so maybe both are good? I dont know enough to be entirely sure on this one.
Ditto the recommendations to replace FOSFTP. FOTP does the majority of the damage in this squad. While the SF version has some useful skills, you already have stuns from both KRU and Kylo. You don’t really need more speed because once this team gets rolling, it’s all about turn meter. Speed up isn’t going to make a huge difference. Replacing FOSFTP with FOST will help keep FOTP alive. His taunt can’t be prevented by shock or buff immunity because it dispels before applying the taunt. His basic clears buffs from the enemy if he has advantage, and he counters, so he gets to use that basic a lot. His taunt also gives TM to the entire squad just like Kylo’s Lash Out. You really want to feed TM to FOTP for those massive crits. Some people may consider this squad fifth tier or whatever, but it really can compete if you use it well.
FOE replaces FOTP if you are going to use him. With him in the lineup, Rancor solo is possible, or so I am told. I still think FOTP is better for arena and shorter encounters.
There are a lot of potential FO to add, Hux, Snoke, Praetor Guard, Flametrooper, Riot Trooper (this one is already in the game but only as a enemy unfortunantly) BB-9E and probably more
Thanks! Replacing the SFFO it is, will start gearing FOST after In(eventually) finish gearing BB8:)
**** is Pratorian Hux?
Oh wait, punctuation is non-existent. I get it now.
Ha ha who the fudge has carbantis? I probably have like 10-11 toons that don’t need them anymore, the other 127 all need them badly;)
My new years resolution is to do away with punctuation and grammar and spelling all together to keep people guessing that is what you are talking about my righting write
He needs four carbantis just to get from gear 9 to gear 10, one of them in a stun gun and another in a MK5 thermal detonator. Brutal.
Lol
I wasn't trying to be a grammar cop or anything so sorry about that. Anyways, I'm surprised we still don't have Hux after two movies. I liked him a lot I would really like to use him hopefully in place of FOO. Be great if he also came with the Finalizer but ships have started to feel abandoned though.
Very interesting.
There are two FO teams that are proven to be good in late-game arena. They are:
KRU (L), FOST, FOO, FOSF, FOX
-or-
KRU(L), FOST, FOO, Kylo, FOX
I have yet to see anyone survive old-server high end arena without using one of those two teams when running pure FO. Some use Thrawn in the team as well, but I find that you don't really need him. If you are talking DS TB then the team makeup isn't as important.
FOX should be farmable in the next 2-3 weeks, so don't dismiss him. He 100% replaces FOTP.
He can replace yes but FOTP is still useful in some situations, Buff Immunity is a precious status effect thats hard to pass on
I’m not sure what you refer to when you say that it has been proven to be good in late game arena.
I’m in an older shard (nov-dec 2015 don’t remember exactly) and I have yet to see anyone in top 50 or even top 100 using FO in my arena, regardless of squad comp. I have a lot of whales in my shard so don’t think FOE not being farmable yet is a major issue for them, but maybe we will see more ppl use him and FO when he becomes available for the larger community. I will certainly farm him, though gearing him to lv 12 is another issue entirely;)
FOX is much better in arena.
Stokat it's not common but we exist. There are a number of us on November 2015-January 2016 shards that are running FO and placing first. There isn't a team we can't beat on offense.

Great stuff, I really want them to be arena-viable so happy to see that ppl are having success with them!
Working on gearing my FOST to 12 now then I will try them out again (last time I tried with my current set up it was a crash and burn experience, droppen 100 spots overnight so had to go back to my boring LS squad). Will also be farming FOE when he is farmable, but gearing him will be another project.
Thanks for the “in-depth breakdown.”
I’m just curious how FOE’s damage compares to FOTP in arena. You could even throw FOSFTP in there and make it a threesome.
