Hey all! Have been considering farming Baze from shipments/shard store since I unlocked Chirrut in the last tournament.. I wanted to know, will it be worth running Chaze alongside Wiggs + Lando if Chirrut is only 3.5*? I figure I'll skip this tournament and wait for Streets of Jedha again so I can star Chirrut up.
I would also like to know if Baze absolutely needs to be starred up to be effective / if it would be better to run STHan instead of Lando if Wedge is leader.
Thanks in advance!

Will, that's a good point, nobody on my shard has got B2 yet, so I honestly forgot about him! Doesn't that basically rule out any tanks though? Except some tanks (Shore, Baze, even STH) have enough utility that they're worthwhile.
That said, I feel that Baze isn't a bad option since Shoretrooper will only be available to mega whales on my shard (only one guy's got him unlocked at base star level). If nothing else, this'll keep me on top until Emperor event returns I think, at which point I'll have a reasonable counter to B2.
Got baze at 5*/g10 under wiggs, he survives long enough to get his aoe dispell going, thats all you need, really
Maybe he's better with Chirrut, I don't know, haven't faced him yet. Baze lets me beat teams that are otherwise out of my pay grade though.
I run a Bounty Hunter/Scoundrel team btw.
Well, maybe you should think about what you're posting next time instead of biting the head off of someone asking a legitimate question. Even if you have 29/30 shards, the toon is still THREE stars.
As for the original question, where do you want to run this team? Arena? GW? What level are you? How new is your shard? What's your average arena rank? Without this sort of info, it's hard, if not downright impossible, to give you an answer.
I have a 4* Chirrut and I'm skipping Baze. In GW I'm doing just fine with STHan tanking (since he's a Rebel, he gains all the benefits of my team: Wiggs, Chirrut, Lando, STHan) and in the Arena I replaced STHan with RG to keep Chirrut alive and healing. I'm not very high-ranked, 300-400 (December shard and I've been away for over 6 months), but ever since I added Chirrut, people somehow stopped attacking me I don't think Baze could top that. Yes, he gets assists with Chirrut and all, but his main goal is tanking, assists don't count for much there.
I'm level 65 on a relatively new shard (not sure when I started bc I took a break after making the account when I wasn't sure if I had the time for an alt account). At my level, well-geared toons do somewhat decently even at low star levels, but i'm asking more to find out if, as I approach max level, these toons will remain viable. I'm thinking of this in an arena setting; Wedge-led rebels with Chirrut do really well in GW and i'll probs keep using em for a while.
@Gaidal_Cain I appreciate that thought! I didn't really consider the retribution being something that potentially works against me, especially since Chirrut gives both of them high counter chance. Baze's double dispel doesn't give you problems?
My STHan has 186 speed. He taunts straight away followed by either Boba Fett, Old Ben, or IG 88 who all inflict ability block.
The Baze in question is level 75, Gear 9 but he is only 4* and hits like a little girl.
Every attack on him makes him counter which feeds my whole team turn meter.
Baze literally never gets a chance to dispel before I have taken out 3 or 4 of his squad.
Usually, all the other team needs is a fast dispeller to get rid of my STHan's taunt but with Baze countering after every hit, the opposing team's turn meter starts actually going DOWN because of STH's unique which removes turn meter.
@BrianBuchanans I hope that is helpful.
Very few people run a squad like I do right now with lots of ability blocks. Also, few people right now run Boba (at least on my shard) but he is great because he can ignore taunts.
Against a standard Wiggs team, he would probably do pretty well.
Enemy ST Hans are his main weakness, since his basic is very weak and countering gives a ton of TM if you can't dispel fast enough. An enemy Biggs can also be a problem if his counter crits, giving Biggs full TM. Palpatine+Shoretrooper is another problem, but you're new enough I doubt that's a combo you face.
@Astris yeah i'll probs only pull Chirrut out situationally now that I see your perspective on him. He's nice against droid teams (bye bye, IG-88) and some other squads (here's looking at you, Vader and Sidious without Palp lead) but just isn't particularly functional vs traditional Wiggs/DPS teams bc they can wipe me in a single combo with or without heal over time. Probably gonna run with Wiggsdo + the tanks, think it'll work well. And yes, you're correct, no Palp on this server and only one Shore, so my current arena team is really just to keep me at the top of the crystal game until either Emperor comes back or I have QGJ Zeta'd. Hopefully by then I've got Rex and Fac maxed, too.
@sjkerhfgdjhd Hmm! That's a really good point, unless they manage to one-shot my Chirrut they'd need quite a bit of dispel to take the whole squad down. I'll try running Wiggsdo + Chaze and see how it holds up on defense, and if it doesn't fly, I'll sub Chirrut for STH. Either way, this should be fun!! Thanks y'all for the help!
So who does everyone think the best 5th for a Wiggs/Chaze team is? I have been playing with a few but I'm not sure who is best. Lando is great from a DPS point of view but I don't think he is the best for defense. I have been using Sun Fac and he seems to hold the best on defense. Any other thoughts?
Sun Fac is probably most reliable in dealing with STHan abuse.. assuming they're running AoE offense, it would be preferable to have a dispel on basic counter to make sure you're not feeding the enemy team, plus any other tank is rendered useless between SF's basic and Baze's specials. I guess I might drop Lando lol
1- used rex, ani, b2, shore, palp; got destroyed, just took off the protections of all, my ani was the first to die from all the couters from chirrut and his buff attack
2. easy with the same team, rex, ani, b2, shore, palp
