    Lol. Well, I'm not playing street fighter bro. I have 4 other toons, as do you. I can attack you with Qui God Jins assist, then one hit your Rey with my flurry of blows

    If you are facing AI QGJ is going to use humbling blow to dispel it. :D

    Nice Thread OP! Thx for the effort

    But I'm also of the opinion that speed matters most regarding glass canons in arena
    What happens if opponent's Rey goes first?
    I have to 'waste' Rey's basic to remove her foresight and start to kill her. You're always in big advantage if your toon goes ahead of the counterpart!
    Another point is GS: He needs crit chance, crit chance, crit chance
    Simply because every time he crits, he gets his TM filled to the half. You want his crit chance to be as high as possible

    Needs more tenacity.
    Fail.
    Royal Gods are everywhere. Can't do much in a match if your @**** is slowed down and stunned all the time.
    Well.. While I think your rating is poo, it is your opinion and you are entitled to it. Tenacity is a meh mod bonus. Seeing as it doesn't affect Han or RG's ability to resist dispel, it is useless to Tanks. Maybe Rey would need it but cmon. It's a stat that deals in RNG! If you stack 6 tenacity mods on a toon they gain 30 percent tenacity. But they miss out on all the other set bonus benefits. If you stack 10 percent, you will be hard pressed to notice the new change. If you stack 20 percent you invested a fair amount, and you probably will notice a difference, but it matters not. The crit damage modded toons are coming, and they'll be swift and they'll 1-3 hit most attackers. Royal guard is no longer a god now that I think about it. I have him with 83k hp, and it rarely saves his teammates like a god is supposed to. His taunt doesn't activate as much because toons are large amounts of damage now. My Count Doodoo can get about 30k hp.. He can easily get one shotted by a Rey with offense up.

    Another thing I have my doubts
    You recommend crit dmg for QGJ but his crit chance is really low!
    Mine has about 20%. Dunno if it is a good investment

    Bro.. You literally have 5 toons lol. If your opponents Rey goes and gets foresight, use your leverage on their Qgj, take away his protection!! Then your Genosian soldier can possibly one hit ko him if he gets a crit and you have crit damage mods on! The AI is not smart enough to make use of a small amount more speed.

    Also, I said crit damage mods for Genosian soldier, because his crit chance is already through the roof. Keep in mind he gains +9 crit chance from his unique ability. Now the choice is 30 percent crit damage or 10 percent more crit chance. My Genosian soldier already has 41 crit chance, plus the 9 crit chance from his unique. I decided that having 30 percent more damage was worth more than 10 percent more chance to crit. Some people might think different, to each his own.

    Yeah maybe you're right. Offense may be better for him. I'm not quite sure tbh. Mine has a +8 crit chance mod, along with crit damage mods. My qui gon has around 34 percent chance to crit, so I figured it was worth more than just 10 percent damage. I'm not too sure though, it's close.

    Edit; yeah you are right lol.

    You missed protection on... Well, everything..

    And in 9/10 circumamstances... Protection > Health.
    Protection isn't a set type. That's why I excluded it. It's just a primary stat and yes you're right, it is much better in almost all circumstances

    Protection primary with potency speed and health secondaries is for every toon. Get a protection primary and secondary....better than gold.

    Keep the rest. I don't care what the set bonus is. Taking ig-88 from 8000 protection to 12k plus....priceless

    What you fail to account for regarding speed is that if my rey attacks twice with speed mods doing 20K and then 30K while you attack once with crit damage mods doing 30K, i would argue that I am winning the battle... In arena, speed is always going to trump all...

    however for attackers such as Rey or Leia, it just doesn't make sense to choose speed mods over the extra damage they could have. Rey has around 160 original base speed I think. So that becomes +16 speed once you have 4 speed mods equipped. Would you really take 16 more speed over 30 percent more crit damage? She already has atleast 40 percent crit chance. Critical damage will be the most common mod, and the most effective. Speed kills yes, 16 more speed? Over the chance to do ALOT More damage? No. It's just not worth it. Sure, your Rey can go first and deal 13k with her leverage. Then my Rey will go and do 18k with her leverage. It's literally less than 10 percent more speed for your toon bro. This game isn't a one on one game. Dealing much more damage trumps having a little bit more speed
    Well just a few things here :
    - Dont forget in Arena we have Crit resistance (at least a few %) so basically you always crit less in arena than in challenges or Mods battle.
    - That +16 Speed can make the difference between you Rey wasting or not a turn in the opponent Rey. Or if your Leia/Rey will be able to Stealth before JE goes first and pump up the whole team, or if rey + leia can 2 shot opponent Leia before she even get a turn. That +16 CAN (or not) change everything, depending on the Arena player you are facing (and again that is the only relevant argument on "how to mods your arena team").
    - This game has never been who deal more Dammage wins, it's always been who disable / kill the 2 or 3 Dammage dealer of the team who wins. That's why OB can be a winning horse or a total useless toon depending of him ability block success.
    - If you talk about QGJ I assume you are not playing B2 nor Sun Fac so basically you are no threat in Arena. Cheers.

    And remember, a Rey that attacks more is as much more chances to have Foresight, she doesnt need more dammage at all, she needs to hit a lot and to survive through the 3rd turn.

    Speed is one of the top sets, along with crit damage, potency and crit chance (for now, until they release new mod sets)

    Is accuracy and potency the same thing?

    I have those two stats to Count DoAdo and he's kicking more butts than the usual

    No, Accuracy makes you "miss" less and Potency gives you more chance to land things like stuns, ability block, speed / offense down, etc.

    First, let me welcome you back to Gen Pop! Second, thank you for organizing this and I hope it gets stickied or something.

    I'll weigh in with my opinion on Speed. I feel 16 speed is totally worth it, for the reasons others have listed. 16 Speed is pretty significant. And with Rey specifically since she does so much damage, you don't get extra credit for overkill. But having her go before her enemies can arguably be a much better option.

    Regardless, this is a great beginning to a valuable resource of information and I'm sure as the number crunchers finish their work we'll have some solid data to make a guide to help everyone.

    Suggestion for guide: tell people what the requirements are for mod challenges.
    Getting x set mod might sound exciting, but if I have 1 eligible character for the challenge, I don't know if I want to spend that much precious cantina energy getting there.
    You guys had a riot? On account o' me? My very own riot?
