I suppose it matters how much speed you can muster, but since I can't keep up with the 200+ EPs on my shard I had to improvise, using Lando lead to give 15 speed to Han.
STHan - loaded with speed mods, mine is maxed at 200, so with Lando lead he goes first with 215 speed. Taunt to give everyone 30% TM
Emperor - give him your second highest speed, to stun the enemy team, most importantly, that one heavily speed modded PITA such as 200 speed EP, or QGJ
Phasma - give her just under EP speed, to ensure your whole team goes first, and the most important part - your aoe crushers will hit 5 crits
Lando - had to be leader in my case in order to get Han to go before insane speed EPs and enemy Hans.
Anakin - lead from the rear, his aoe will crush your enemies and see them driven before you. His perfect smite will then give your whole team offense up on its next turn
Result of my first try:
Lando ended up doing 16k and 22k on this, killing them off 2-4 fold.
I suppose Phasma and EP could be interchanged for second turn, but it is up to you.

Will have to get some 5* mods with speed though too... I have like 4, 1-3* arrow mods with speed primary, and none of my other mods have more than +4-6 on secondaries. So i guess im still behind speed wise.
This is vs a 200 speed EP. My 160 speed EP went before his with Han taunt, so if you can get Han to 215 total speed and EP up to 160, the extra TM from han taunt will get your EP turn before theirs.
Make Zader Great Again!
Good luck
Rex (L)
CS
Echo
Ani
Poe 246 speed...lowering their tm is like boosting mine. Sticks w/ potency mods
That second turn TM boost and guaranteed crit from Phasma can make for a fast and easy win
might just try a similar one but replace EP with IG88
Only flaw is when STHan gives his turn meter, it doesn't follow pre speed stats, but all good.
Was facing a Palp lead team with Lando, Ani, Phasma and sthan
will make second attempt in 5 mins
easy breezy
was looking to switch up my squad out of boredom, thanks for this idea!
I like EP over Phasma with 88. The combination of stun and ability block will render most of the enemy team useless for a turn.
Working on other toons (Danger Zone squad) so I put my EP on the back burner
But I see what you're saying
let's see how it holds up (doubt it will tho, i'm in a very active shard)
It's not rocket surgery.
Also gonna replace RG with B2 when i get him ready, and thought of switching to ani or qgj lead.
This time he managed to get off a perfect 5/5 stun, of little consequence, obviously.
A key to high end arena atm is to give all your best speed mods to one or two heroes that have a really powerful control or TM ability, preferably one that actually uses it on defense (sadly phasma uses slow and Yoda doesn't use BM on defense to start). You want the huge advantage from the broken abilities some have, and the rest can follow behind. Speed doesn't matter that much after their whole team is stunned, or Han or Phasma feed your whole team's turn meter.
the thing is tho, after the taunt+tm gain of sthan, toons do not go in order of pre-tm gain speed
Every battle I have fought, almost a different toon went next each time. Which is fine.
If phasma, i give tm/advantage right away and then throw down my 3 aoe's
if not, i adjust. I'll aoe with lando no matter what tho. With 5 toons alive, hard not to get enough crits to reset ability.
I could see how having EP instead of my current 88 could be MASSIVE with the stuns, BUT, 88 actually does a good job on this squad as I put potency on him so he can drop down some debuffs.
Still, loving the new squad. Fun to use.
lol
Yep, but hell if I know who is next after that lol
