I do not know what I'm doing wrong, but I can not move from place 141 in Arena.
I tried different squads, but always fall more than 100 positions in defense.
Strategies and teams that recommend me to do.

My character list:
7* Lumi G8 lvl75
7* Sid G8 lvl71
7* Kylo G8 lvl75
7* Phasma G7 lvl75
7* Dooku G8 lvl75
7* IG86 G8 lvl72
7* Daka G8 lvl76 (Max basic)
7* Poggle G8 lvl70
6* IG88 G7 lvl70
6* HK47 G8 lvl69
6* QGJ G8 lvl71 (Farming)
4* Jawa Engeneer G7 lvl65 (Farming)
4* Royal Guard G8 lvl70 (Farming)
5* ST Han G6 lvl55 (Farming)

    1) pre-craft as many mk5 droid callers, mk5 furnaces as possible.
    2) buy any mk5 furnaces that appears in shipments.
    3) raid like crazy for additional mk5 droid callers.
    4) give them to the right toons like qgj, Rey, etc.

    Congrats, u should find yourself in TOP 20 in no time!

    How i pre-craft mk5 droids?
    So i need G9 chars?

    You don't need G9 to get in the top 50. But if your goal is #1, then yes, G9 (and soon G10) will be a requirement.

    Out of what you have right now, I would play Dooku (L), Daka, Lumi, RG, and 86. You want as much stun as possible, with RG's taunt and Lumi's heal helping 86 stay alive to cause as much damage as possible.

    I'll try that team.
    I usually use Phasma (L), Daka, Kylo, Dooku and RG. So there are more chances of stun, by assist of Phasma and Dooku attacking out of turn.
    I need to refresh attacks? Or with 5 per day you get?

    I'd run this for now
    7* Phasma G7 lvl75 (leader)
    7* Dooku G8 lvl75
    7* IG86 G8 lvl72
    7* Daka G8 lvl76 (Max basic)
    7* Poggle G8 lvl70

    Poggle to make sure that hits from Daka and Dooku hurt at least a little bit. I'd replace him with QGJ soon, though. I don't buy the double-tank hype. Maybe it is good at 100+ rank but I don't see it. It is easy to navigate and gives another target besides Han thus wasting 1/2 the reason he is on the team. Han is good with Obi-Wan lead or at gear 11.

    I'm happy with my stun team as well. Can only recommend it:

    Dooku (l), RG, Daka, GS, QGJ

    3 stunners (1 mostly against jedis) and 2 assist callers.

    PS. Using Dooku as non—leader is not very efficient.

    I've found the double tank to be good on offense but bad on defense. It's easy for a person to deal with, especially if they have QGJ, which everyone does, but the AI can't deal with it very well.

    I like Ello's suggestion. Gearing up Phasma will be a big deal. When people see unusually low stars or gear on an arena team they'll target you. RG is immune to this a bit with the stars (4* is probably too low, even if he still works), but you'll need gear VIII minimum on everyone to not look like an easy target.

    Thanks everyone for your advice!

    I'll test with Dooku lead and feedback soon

    I agree with you most of the time. He is getting Phasma and Poggle in support, though. With Phasma's leadership, someone who already gets more attacks than everyone else is suddenly not stopping. He really benefits from going out of turn and then Poggle makes him actually hurt a bit.

    True, but Phasma is stronger than Dooku out of a leadership position, and random dodge is going to be better on defense than a random attack.

    Defense is a non-existent illusion.

    Haha good point. I maxed out my dooku's basic and he actually does a lot of damage. I mean 3000 if he attacks twice without a critical hit easy. And I'm working with all g8.

    Dooku is a beast with Phasma as leader...
