Arenateam EP or JTR

https://swgoh.gg/u/sparkle/

At the moment, I play EP (L), Vader, Thrawn, Shore, Tarkin
Mirrormatches with Thrawnlead or RaidHan

I need advice for further improving in arena. First option is, to go for Sion and Nihilus. Both are low star, gear, lvl, skills. Traya is out of reach. Second option is to switch to JTR, R2, BB, Thrawn, GK. GK still weak. Other ideas are welcome.

  • Rex lead, Nihilus, Sion, Thrawn, GK
    Rex lead, Nihilus, Shore, Thrawn, GK
    Rex lead, Palpatine, Talzin (viable at 4*), GK, Sion

    There are really a lot of combinations
    Those team work vs basically any team out there.
  • Your combination is a good listing of toons without stars and gear for me.

    You have a solid RJT squad in terms of gear. Would run something like RJT, BB8, R2, Thrawn and CLS/Rhan. The biggest problem I see is lack of speed secondaries. I would hit the mod shop if I was you, or sim some challenges.

    Raid Han is nice because you can instagib the enemy vader which means you don't need as much speed on BB8, R2, Thrawn and Rey. GK would be the best fit, but isn't realaly an option for you.
  • The nice part of the current arena meta is that it adds some strategy to who to use for offense / defense and against certain team comps. There's really no "will kill everything team".

    Against EzPz teams - JTR, BB8z, RzDz, Scav Rey, and Poe (I have never lost against EP with this team comp)
    Against Rex - either the above, or switch in Thrawn and GK for Scav Rey and Poe
    Against CLS - JTR, BB8, R2, Thrawn, GK

    If GK is weak and a ways out from being viable and you want to climb the ranks now. I highly recommend trying out Poe and Scav Rey. It won't hold great on defense, but if you're willing to climb you'll have zero problem.

  • DN and Sion are both viable at low stars. I would suggest gearing/starring them up and use them with your current EP squad.

    A lot of options in this thread..mainly for Offense. What would be the best squas for defense tho? I heard Rex lead is very bad at D.

    JTR gets steamrolled by EP, her time has come and gone in arena.

    Everyone is beating everyone on offense right now. EP gets steamrolled by JTR teams, if you have the right team composition.

    Yes - DN and Sion are viable at low stars high gear. So I concede it may be his easiest path to sustained arena success.

    My arena top 50

    Rex - 8
    JTR - 14
    CLS - 8
    EP - 18
    GK - 1 <- surprised to see him in there
    NS - 1

  • I relish facing EP.

    Stun him then whack him first, which always seems easy and it's happy hunting from that point onwards.

    You stun him before Vader? I assume you're running Han?

    When I was running Han under CLS I always stunned Vader first because he is faster and if he gets his force crush off first the TM steamroller gets underway.

    The best defense is speed mods. No way around it.
  • Thanks, I'll try both ways. JTR will be probably first ready, but going for sion also

    Rex counters crush.
