Dooku Lead working :)

Dark

Dooku, Rey, Resistance Pilot, Yoda and QGJ, so much Evasion!, Enemy QGJ assist ... evaded, GS assist .. evaded, Daka stuns? ... evaded. All my team got offense up almost the entire fight.
I will try Ashoka Lead once I get her to 7* and gear VIII.

FatherToast

Still doesn't seem like Ben's lead is working. Will test more tomorrow, I may have just had a streak of bad luck today.

Arube

Awesome, can't wait to put my RP to work.

moongod

Dis ish is cray yo.

Nutteralex

For people who have experimented, Dooku over QGJ for lead now?

I'd like to know this as well

moongod

It's literally been two hours. Too early to tell. Early returns however are promising.

Galgenstrick

I have QGJ and Dooku 7*, so I'm not too worried about which way it will go

Qeltar

I just tried swapping Dooku and Jinn in my usual lineup and fought a guy I normally beat 99% of the time in under 2 minutes.
With Dooku in the leader slot Yoda couldn't get BM up, his Dooku stunned my Lumi, and even though a couple of dodges and then a later BM by Yoda allowed me to get everyone Offense Up, it was too late, and I lost.
Speed unfortunately is STILL all that matters.
Maybe it would work better with a different team. But in mine, Jinn goes back in the leader slot.
(Team: Jinn, Yoda, Lumi, GS, Anakin/Dooku/RG depending on my mood and opponent.)

I think evasion works great in arena. I place top 3 everyday. I use to run Sid in the leader slot but noticed I started dropping further as more players max up good teams on our shard. I switched to lumi leader and she grants less evasion than dooku. Come on Dooku adds more than double the evasion of lumi lead with non Jedi.

On offense it shouldn't matter because you should be winning anyways. However on defense, RNG is key, I assume dooku leader on defense is going to drive ppl crazy aka me since I don't have dooku and don't plan on farming him.


My arena squad is
Lumi leader
Sid
GS
HRS
Poggle
All maxed and they decimate any team. Pretty cookie cutter easy to get f2p.

Moral, RNG is king on defense, give it time

Qeltar

I've tried a Phasma lead, Dooku, Daka type RNG team on defense. Not as many people are afraid of it as you might imagine, but hope it works better for you.

Nutteralex

I'm gunna have to experiment in GW tomorrow but I can see this maybe working for defence in arena cause like the guy above me said RNG is key.

Phipps

That's true not afraid of really any team when on offense. I just notice the only time I ever lose on offense is against RNG heavy teams. If it's just a fast DPS with all the usual suspects win rate is way higher since the AI doesn't focus fire properly. So when I can, I avoid those type teams until inside the top 5.

Qeltar

I'm afraid to leave Dooku lead in there, frankly. I don't think anyone fears evasion as much as super speed. And on defense, this leader ability has the potential to give Jinn a target for his dispel on his first turn. In fact, pretty easily if you are running Sid and Jinn together (though admittedly not many do.)
I don't think Dooku lead is tier one at this time, sadly. Maybe if/when I ever unlock Rey that will change.

Thanks @Qeltar good info as always!

@Qeltar I actually like Dooku as lead. I have Dooku, Sidious, Rey, RG and GS. Works really well now. Rey evaded twice

irvvri

why is everyone so excited about never being able to hit sideous ever again I don't get it

easily the most obnoxious leader ability tbh but I'm just super salty about this hit to my jedis lololol kicking screaming crying

Qeltar

@xJazzx - Rey may make the difference in this sort of build. Mine is still not activated and won't be until I get her to 230 shards and there's some way to get purple hairdryers that doesn't make me want to throw my phone across the room.
Until then I guess I stick with what I have. I'll play with Dooku lead some more in GW.

People get over thier fear of Daka eventually but a bad RNG match with Daka and Dooku can make even an empiricist a little cautious.. Lol

Honestly, the biggest change I have found in my ability to hold rank in the last two months was putting Royal Guard into my lineup. More than I expected.

Hmmm, knowing you'res is only 4 or 5 stars .. Hmm.. Working on mine's frisbies

Qeltar

Mine is up to 5* now, and I actually broke my usual rule and farmed some purple pizza plates to get him to Gear VIII. He has 15k health now and is quite viable. Tthough still easily knocked out by the usual suspects, they are knocking him out and not Jinn, their usual favorite target, which messes up my team.

Ole_Man_Bourbon

Does evasion chance stack? Ie 15% from lead plus X% from ally?

Oy make that 15%

Cool mine is 5 about halfway to 6. 15k is not too shabby. Sorry to OP for hijacking thread

Qeltar

I just tried Dooku lead in GW. It went fine though the enemy team wasn't top tier (all Jedi, had Mace and Koth, etc.)
I got a couple of dodges, but that's it. I did use Yoda's foresight and then share the Offense Up he got from it. But in arena if I waste Yoda's first round on a regular attack, I am going to lose.
That's the problem with this.

Oobydoob

Its all about Rex.

Breetai

I've been running dooku as lead for a couple weeks now after I found out Yoda was adding the Eva buff from dookus lead, and now with dookus fix it works same as it has last couple weeks. Works great. My team

7* dooku lead
7* qgj
7* Yoda
6* Rey (12 shards till 7*)
7* GS

Usually when I start my daily climb I'm be around 15th. Today I started in 7th

I was wondering about Bens one. It would be horrible if they didn't fix his lead but made him farmable

Mazurka

Gonna try out Dooku (L) Rey GS QGJ and Sid. I'll let you know how it goes haha

NayverM

Doku (L), Rey, Lumi, Sid and Poe : great synergy ❤️
