    In this game it's synonymous with flavor of the month (fotm); meaning what is currently accepted as being the "best" in general terms. That just so happens to be speed right now.

    Not the real definition but this is pretty close. Meta is short for Metagame, which means the game within the game, how players search for edges/advantages

    Yes
  • Meta is short for meta game, which generally refers to the game outside (or inside depending on the game) of the main game. A classic meta game is chess strategies, where the two players are playing not only on the board but outside the board. The pieces are competing on board but the metagame is the players strategies competing before they are played on the actual board.

    It's been adapted a lot in recent years to simply mean the top most effective strat available currently dictating and/or dominating the top end game.

    So, in SWGoH terms, yes, when people say meta that's generally what they mean and currently the meta is speed.
