Staying competitive

Everyone knows wiggs and Lando are the current meta. All the tops teams use them, and for good reason. Crippling AOE and OHKO at the beginning of every round is awesome, but it's making arena annoying and frustrating. I also use lando and JKA and st Han they are great but every match lasts under a minute and it's usually decided in the first 5 seconds if wiggs wipes out a crucial toon. I just feel like the currents meta is getting boring( I know others have said this) I definitely am not calling for a nerf I love seeing 17k above everyone head when Lando double down, but I hope something changes soon. Everyone has to use these toons to stay top 50 or better, if I see a team that's missing either Lando wiggs or JKA I attack them automatically and it's not even a chance that I might lose. Just wish other toons could match what these guys are throwing down.

    There are other options right now. The trick is not everyone has them. But that is a constant in this game. Best practice is to have as many of the heroes as you can. And get some good mods going that you can swap in and out of your best teams.

    Try EP, EE, Shore, SF, RG if you don't use wiggs.

    Subs:
    SF - B2
    Ee - Bariss
    Shore- fast Poe

    Is there enough damage dealing there? I'm intrigued, but don't quite have the characters to try it yet. Could TFP fit in this comp somehow?

    EP is all the damage you need on that team, especially against Rebels.

    I run a 5* EP lead on occasion and I have had my Lando get OHKO'd first round leaving only EP, Ackbar, STHan, and RG, and still won.

    Once the TM starts rolling in from the shocks it's a done deal as long as you have tanks to keep them off of him for a turn or two.

    I use EP lead, jka, Shoretrooper, Vader, B2. Wiggs teams don't stand a chance. It's actually quite amusing seeing so many rebel characters die from just the combination of Vader's dots and EP's passive damage, and that's the characters I'm not targeting, those die much faster. I'm farming Tie Pilot to most likely take jka spot. I get #1 everyday and I never drop from the top 10 on a Dec shard.

    Wiggs is not that tough

    @Gungnir75 that is my exact arena team (after ditching droids) and I love it. Aayla is so underrated here. I take first in a shard full of wiggs most days when I am online.

    Fast Emperor lead destroys all Wiggs Lando teams. You'll stun at least 2 out of 3 if you have enough potency. Then you can pick off Wedge and they're pretty much useless.
    I like RG in there too to keep the stun on Lando while you murder his friends and he's powerless and forced to watch.
    Let the hate flow!

    You do know that, while this works on offense, your palps get 1-shot by wiggs om defense, right?

    The point is to have shore in the lineup so that palp will not be the first target from wiggs

    Now this is the right attitude for an EP lead.

    EE, (Ewok Elder), is very easy to obtain. He has 2 Hard nodes and shows regularly in the Guild Shipments. So in no way do you need Wiggs, (which is also not PTP) to obtain EE.

    Once again, the speed is your ally. I was talking strictly offense but, it has its advantages on defense as well. Yeah you'll fall some spots overnight but it's pretty easy to make it back up.

    Can't tell if you're confusing EE with Palp but no, you don't need Wiggs in either case

    im sorry, my mistake, i try to say EP no EE

    you need a good rebel team, wiggs are in the team haha

    hopefully some type of character balance is in the works.

    I just want to be able to use characters that i want and not characters that i need because the META hits for 20,000 when the character i want to use hits for 7,000. Doesn't seem very fair to me.

    i think it´s safe to say that most people unlocked 7* palp without wedge in their rebel team.

    A re balance of some characters is bound to happen, but with ships, new releases raid tinkering and all... I doubt its coming soon, at least a "global review".
    Still hopeful on boba and maul-savage.. maybe after ships

    I'm hopeful for at least Boba, and hopeful Darth Maul will become FTP.
