Is it too close to a meta shift to farm wiggs now?
Currently run

fast ST Han
Are we too close to a meta change to start farming wedge now? Biggs is ready to go and right now I'm finishing Boba and TFP.
Any advice is welcomed

Still makes GW go 2x as fast which is my favorite part about having them.
But TIE fighter pilot is stronger in an empire team than a wiggs team currently.
You may do well to slow down your STHan and make him as tanky as possible.
It sounds asinine but I took my STHan from 210 speed (225 with Lando lead) and just over 40k of health and protection to 149 speed and just under 55k health/protection.
Trying (and failing) to control first turn can be frustrating but I believe he does best as a strong tank rather than taunt and die before the second turn.
Wedge is mvp level for AAT raid.
wiggs has great value in raids also, so it's never too late to farm wiggs.
Considering Wedge's usefulness, I would say it's never too late to start farming him. He's useful in the Arena, in GW, in Fleet Battles... He's pretty much the Swiss Army Knife of GoH. Since you seem to have the rest of what comprises a decent Rebel team (Lando and STHan), I would definitely say go for it. And once Chirrut becomes farmable (or his tourney returns), definitely throw him into the mix. With 7 or 8 HoTs on your characters during the fight, they become practically immortal, almost instantly healing from any damage taken.
I hadn't considered how much of a difference Chirrut could make for a fast Han. Because he is so fast he might be able to make frequent use of all the heal over time and not die so easily. And of course as long as Han is alive and taunting the rest of your team is super fast as well.
That's why I use Wedge, Biggs, Akbar, Leia, and Aayla. It's quite comical to see Tie Pilot struggle to do any thing against me. As for any others really. Only a few empire teams have been able to beat me, because Emperor Palps is wrongly fast, and then they get lucky with RG and some missed crits.
Even a 3 or 4 star Chirrut (mine is at 4*) can make a world of difference. I'm scared to think what he's like at 7*.
(that's my GW team, replaced STHan with RG because of his insane HP. For arena I still use STHan)
This. If you struggle with GW, rebel team with Biggs/wedge is your answer.
That's an insta-kill on any of those 5 from Boba. +30% damage for each buff...yum.
By the sounds of it you're talking only arena. The thing is there's quite a few other aspects of the game now, which you need to consider. They can do quite a lot.
- Ships, where Biggs looks good, and I'd expect rebels to be pretty strong long term.
- Raids where they can get good numbers, and guarantee that, but with time and zetas, other teams will too.
- Tourneys where they will alone make a food team to give you easy wins before you have to pay 5k ally points per refresh.
Wiggs will always have value in many areas purely because they churn out huge damage that hasn't been matched until now.
As for arena, which obviously is really important. Look there are other arena teams you can make that are going to be as effective, probably more so as a squad. They have had months oneshotting and dominating arena, I would expect them to be made irrelevant now. There's a chance they will be a necessity in upcoming rebel teams. Although they will probably get phased out, I don't know. I would say with arena there will probably be much better teams soon but it's anyone's guess. Their damage is so high it's hard to say, they can always slot in anywhere and bring you about 30-40k in damage at super speed (Biggs TM gain is insane). Coming as a duo can be a disadvantage though. Overall, for arena, I'd say right now, don't use your gear on wiggs. They will probly be outclassed.
As another consideration I hate rebel scum and have hated wiggs since day one, especially the fact that they oneshot cheese everyone in arena for months and had such high damage numbers in comparison to everyone else, despite being nobodys. They are absolutely dead at this point and have been abused for months and I am pretty sick of them TBH. They are a pretty boring choice, and passing on them will allow you to do a lot more fun things.
This game is about gear. There isn't enough to go around and it's really expensive to buy more. Every upgrade is a question of if it's worth the gear. And they will wh 0re themselves out for your syringes, they need a combined 400. If you run out of syringes ever, that is equivalent to 11200 crystals, which is like 80 dollars. Wedge needs all rancor gear too, but IMO that is less concerning.
For me not upgrading them has done things like allowing me to instantly upgrade boba. Who by the way would be having an absolute field day with that @Ring
It's close. They will always be useful in the game for damage, if a little lame. At the moment I don't think it's worth it overall, but this could easily only be because I don't like them. I have been considering for a while now, but because they aren't all that any more and others are good in arena I go with options I prefer and save my gear for others.
Really? Because Palps and TFP help me finish GW in 10 minutes or less. And TFP is only G9, 5*.
I spend only a little but i never tried to catch up meta toons, i have no dooku, rey or wedge but i am still do fine (and also was happy as FTP for many months), my droids catch top5 every day against the meta and now i build up empire (already TFP with 6* and gear XI!) because i like it and maybe i am faster than most non whales with this team and on top of it i was able to get 4* shore, 3* Chirrut and 4* TIE-X1 without any meta stuff like Wedge, Anakin, Rey, Old Ben, Rex, Sun Fac etc. or to spend lots of money.
What i mean is, simply think about your situation (what is your goal with the game, what time and money you can spend etc.) and which characters you like the most - it is a game after all so have fun and don't try to catch up the dynamic meta of the month
@GW: Droids are super good at GW because you have strong DPS and TM is saved for you (and you get a lot of it) and on top even strong enemy teams start with less TM compared to Arena so you kill most of them before anyone moves and you don't need Engineer Boost for it! I currently try Empire with Palp, TFP etc. and it also ok, more control over the match than pure DPS/Speed but still fine enough. Sure Wiggs Combo with Lando should also be easy GW Team with all the damage, speed and low CDs.
Only if someone would use Chirrut's skill before taking Fett out. For all other characters that's near invulnerability
I run Wedge as Lead for health and the +30% offense, Biggs (gear 8), Lando (gear 10), Leia (gear 8) and Daka (gear 8) for the GW. GW 12 opponents were full geared toons including RG, Daka, Lumi and QGJ and STHan but it was easy to pass, so definitly a good toon to farm.
Wedge (L)
Biggs
RG
B2
Lando or St Han
All of his toons are gear 11. Until he added b2 that team was a cakewalk. How do I counter B2?
I took the long farm for dooku before he was meta as he's my fav sith. Farmed rey from hard nodes till she was 4* then guildshipments came. By then she was no longer meta and only now I've nearly 7*. Did I stop? No becasuebcertain characters are just very strong regardless of meta or not. To this day dooku is still helpful for me in arena and GW. Rey too still hits like a truck
Short answer wedge and Biggs will be worth it in the long term even if they are not going to be meta for long. They will help in EVERY aspect of the game (ships GW arena raids). So it's never too late to farm:)
The meta will shift to whenever gets zeta abilities first . I won't be getting Zeta in a loong time so I'm not fussed. By the time I do get it they'll probably be some other OP meta or ability or faction. It doesn't mean the previous Zeta ability meta will become obsolete
The Wiggs combo has great utility overall, in either raid and other game functions. Boba is a great work around to initial taunters with his AoE ability block (It's tough running a full rebel squad against a good empire team).
As with anything in the game, mods make the toon and speed is critical.
