So we heard a while back that Anakin was one of the characters that the devs were "revisiting". It's been a pretty long time now, and I've essentially lost hope that his kit will ever be improved in any capacity.
With that being said, let's pretend for a moment that Anakin isn't a raging dumpster fire below average. Hypothetically, if I wanted to use him anyway, what squad would best suit him as he is now?
Thanks folks, may the force be with you

I'm on a December server and I'm a top five arena player. Anakin is maxed at 8200ish power.
He's much better with his leadership offense boost. Also ahsoka hits really hard with that benefit.
Lumi is hardly the gold standard for the kind of damage an attacker should be putting out.
I used to run QGJ (L), Anakin, Yoda, ST Han, and Poe before the protection update nerfed Ani into insignificance. He worked well with the two tanks getting killed, triggering his unique fairly early in the match. After that it was kind of a tough call which Jedi to focus, I think.
These days his AOE is likely to do more harm than good with the prevalence of evasion leads. His buff immunity is unreliable, his damage is pitiful, and his unique is inconsequential. If you insist on using him, I'd suggest putting him in a team where he is the lowest priority target (not hard to do) to make the most of his unique and high natural speed.
