So I'm a little ways away from getting Baze's node unlocked, and it's a long farm from there to get him all the way to 7*.
But in order to do the Rogue One TB mission, you need 5 (it'll let me go in with 4 but obviously 5 is needed). I have the rest of the standard R1 team (Jyn, Cassian, K2, and Chirrut) at 7* and relatively geared but I want to be able to run a full team.
So my questions are these:
1. Until I can get Baze, who is the best remaining R1 toon to round out the squad?
- Bistan
- Pao
- Scariff Rebel Pathfinder
- Bodhi Rook
2. Can you actually run a decent R1 team without Baze?
I'm leaning towards SRP, but I'm interested in everyone's thoughts on these toons.

Can you beat that specific node without Baze? Not easily.
Especially since most of the other R1 options are just not good. Like, at all.
Bodhi in particular is one of the worst units in the game. Pathfinder is just kinda gimmicky. Your best bet is probably Bistan. Prepping Pao gets you progress toward Chex Mix, though.
For kicks might try him at gear 6 or 7. He will die a lot and grant speed up and Jyn can rez him if he doesnt self rez. I used to use him with Nightsisters before my zombie was ready and it works ok.
So either go for Jyn, K2, Cassian, Pao, Bodhi or Scarif which gives TM on his basic.
In fact, Pao, Bodhi and SRP are designed to better work with CLS than Jyn.
I'm leaning towards Pao for basically no reason other than he looks cool and I've had him on another account. Bistan is probably the smart pick just because he also has the ship, but I don't see myself farming SRP any time soon.
I started this thread a while ago with the intention of farming someone for the TB special mission, but other farms took priority. Now that I'm out of other options in the Cantina Store, I've decided to focus on my R1 squad again.
Pao is useful in Chex Mix for P3 heroic Sith. That requires seven stars.
Really, it's a pretty low-stakes choice to make. Neither toon will be used for much, I just figured rather than flip a coin, I'd see if anyone had any opinions on the characters or could see a reason why one might actually be useful for something. And since I already had a thread started to discuss it...
Plus even once you get Baze, you always need more tanks for TW. SRP is pretty decent with some rebel scraps.
