Hey so right now I run Palpatine lead/GMT/Vader/thrawn/Sion. Obviously I get nowhere in arena with them, finishing narrowly in the top 100 each day. I have nihilus at 7 stars, will be at gear 12 in a couple of weeks hopefully. So I can sub in Nihilus for GMT.
I have chewie only at 6 stars (couldn't do 7 sadly). So my team would be CLS/Chewie/Han plus 2 others (probably GK as soon as I get him to g12), plus maybe r2, but not sure. which team should I focus on running over the next couple of weeks? Obviously long term, without C3P0, this team won't be great and palps has been done for quite a while now, but just thinking short term, if I can compete with traya I can get into the top 50.
Or does the thrawn counter still work and should I just work on ipd?
I know it's fairly subjective but would like your answer on my best arena team

That's my swgoh page if needed. Thank you!

For cls team w/o c3 I would suggest r2 as 5th of course, modded for offense. Between gk and other tanks for 4th position I chose old ben, although I have him double zeta'd.. I played such team for those 3 months between first chewie event (when I got him also on 6*) and c3 event. I usually made it somehow to top20 but couldn't fight any revan teams ofc so trayas, ns and other cls teams would be your targets. I didn't fall further than top50 overnight.
I had almost god mods on cls: cd/potency with lots of speed (over 120) and beautiful secondaries but looking at it now a whole speed set would also work good. R2 for offense, chewie and han for cc/cd, ben for defense/potency. Guard on cls of course.
Thrawn/ipd is only an acceptable team on offense but won't hold a thing on defense due to AI, same with any team with thrawn lead so save it for tw/ga.
Or you can try ns team if you have them geared up, they are easy to beat on defense in current meta but can defeat any team including revan.
Without Traya, Palp squad is not stronger than others.
Chewbacca makes Rebel much greater.
Anyone thinks subbing in Sion for GK might be a good idea? My old Ben is too undergeared to consider.
My shard is likely much newer than yours but G9 Chewie was still sufficient for me to climb with CLS, RHan, R2, Chewie, and OB when I brought Chewie in for G11 Thrawn. Luckily, Chewie isn't too awful to gear up. There's the usual Pit gear block and then some stun guns, mk 8 implants, and two mk 4 holos but he's a lot easier than, say, RHan imo.
There's one palp team that somehow manages to make top 5 regularly in the sea of revan/traya/CLS on my shard. Props to the guy but I have no idea how he does it.

I can easily beat the nightsisters and bastilla teams with my palps squad so that is good enough for a finish in the top 100.
My guess is "absolutely godlike mods."
There's a non-3PO Rebels team running Nest that also stays in the top 50 on this shard. Looks like you have her mostly starred, need some gear and the zeta.
Things are going to change a bit in about 24 hours (good players that missed out on Revan last time and have been Revan focused will push their way back into the top 20 - mediocre players that bought Revan last time and haven't focused on their mod game are going to get pushed out).
I might hold off on any major gear investments for a bit to see how your shard shakes out post Revan take 2.
How do you beat bastilla teams with palps squad? I've done it, but inconsistently, and kinda depends on which tanks and/or Jolee they have.
What's your resistance team, and how do you beat Palp/Nightmare? I've done it a couple times, but it's inconsistent. Not sure who to fracture, kill order, etc.
Depends a bit on rng obviously; if they take out GMT or thrawn before they take their turns it's almost impossible but usually doesn't happen
