STH or RG?
If you were to only use in the arena, which one would it be? STH has the great turn meter manipulation and longer lasting taunt, but RG taunts more often. Which do you pick?

Why? They are easy to bring down
If you don't kill Rey, RG's taunt triggers. By the time it expires, Han has taunted. By this time Rey has wiped out 3/5 of your team. Am I doing it wrong, then?
Sounds like you need QGJ on your team.
You need more aoe

Use QGJ lead with Yoda; and its okay to have ST Han, RG, and Rey with speeds better than the opposition.
QGJ lead will boost his and Yoda's speed by 25 each. Yoda needs high speed independently in any case - approaching 200 is good.
Use Yoda's BM to get tenacity up and block Old Ben's special. He's rendered useless so if becomes and battle of 5 vs. 4.
The key is speed.
I run both in arena most of the time.
After that use QGJ to dispell enemy Hans taunt and it's a win.
Depends on your team. Some can really benefit from that initial TM from sthan but after that, he can be dispelled and becomes just as big of a liability as an asset imo
Old ben lead--Han
Anybody else--RG
STHan doesn't bring anything else to the game but the taunt, which has a 5 turn cooldown. The minute he's dispelled he's kind of useless. RG can at least serve as a controller with his stun
You can add to that Old Ben lead any other ally who will cause early aoe ability block or stun, such as Palpatine and IG88.
I wouldn't put this so simple. STHans taunt does not only have the purpose of classic taunting but granting your whole team +30% TM at an instant. This can be key to your team.
I used to find the double taunt (RG, Han challenging) but after fully gearing/moding up I find it easy - the problem with it is that they lose a potential dps or toolbox character to put the one trick pony Han in.
I take out their best dps early and they are stuffed no matter what they do as my RG will cover anything
I also I have both in my squad arena , with AA(L) Lando and Leia , I hold my spot , fun team to play with
I run the same team. I hit Rey while trying not to trigger RG taunt, wait for the TM to cycle back to my Rey and hopefully kill her with my Rey's special. Other than that utilize QGJ with his dispel and then focus on RG or SThan, whichever has the taunt. QGJ can be harmful but he's easy to take out after RG and SThan are taken care of. Also be sure to utilize RG stun on QGJ to try and avoid his dispel.
If i see an Old Ben the stun is good just to avoid the ridiculous amount of dodges he does.
Having the stun is good to deal with counter attackers without taking any damage.
That along with being able to taunt more than once per fight is more important to me than the TM gain gain I may or may not get before STH gets dispelled, or ability blocked.
It is nothing because after you've dispelled his taunt you leave him to last
Edit. Sun fac is THE best tank but not free, so if your rich sun fac...
RG always been dependable but I may change once STH caught up in gear as enjoyed using him to get 7* Palps
Nobody cares about defense anyway... the AI is so poorly developed that you could put godzila+norris+rambo+rey+predator and you would drop positions anyway.
ST Han? Just throw a stun at him. Unless he is full tenacity (which people mostly put speed runes on him) he will sit in perma stun. Even if he gets out of stun, just toss a QGJ dispel at him and he is worthless.
At least with RG I have seen instances of pegging Rey to 50%, RG taunts, rey attacks and goes back up to 60% due to lifesteal, they purge RG taunt, then hit rey and she lives, bringing RG taunt right back up.
You don't get that scenario, or even close, with ST Han. He also gets auto-purged unless you have a dodge leader. It's deadly when that purge fails and is often a loss if that happens, but he is just too situational for me. RG is the good everyman while ST Han is great in certain instances.
And to the above complaining about Rey/RG/STHan combos: just tap rey to 60%, stunlock Han or save QGJ for the purge, then just finish her off. Most people run Old Ben with that team comp and while that can put a hamper in your plans, OB/RG/STHan do terrible damage. That's 3/5 of a team that's completely ignorable if you manage to kill Rey in the first round.
