I have a dilemma, what do you guys think?

So I've decided to turn from the meta and start farming a Rebel Team. I hold a pretty nice spot in the arena, normally sit between 60-100, and I'm in an older server. My problem is that I want to continue holding this spot in the arena so I can get two arena shipments per day so I can get My ST Han up. I'm running Poe atm, he is 5* 11/65, do I continue to farm him or should I start farming HRS immediately?

Poe is better than Han at this point, Han almost needs another tank with him so he can stay alive long enough for his turn meter to make a difference.

Might as well start HRS because ST Han is a great tank too

If you just want to be able to afford two ST Han shipments, I believe you only need to be top 200 in arena due to the extra 100 from the daily challenge. You can do that without Poe.

My server is from early December and I am able to hold top 20 without refreshes with only a 5* Poe. There are two downsides to him being only 5*:
1. He dies quicker once he taunts. Duh.
2. You will get targeted more often. I see my team drop more than teams with the exact same setup except their Poe is higher.

You only need to stay in the top 200 to get 2 arena shipments a day so I say go for HRS. I am actually doing the same thing you are and am farming him in cantina instead of starring up my Poe. By the way I found HRS to be relatively easy to gear up.

Poe isn't absolutely necessary at higher than 5 stars unless he is underperforming for you at 5 stars. You amily want his gear to be high, and his level maxed out of course.
