Best 5th for Wiggs + Chaze?
Hey dudes! Simple question—planning on running Wiggs and Chaze for the foreseeable future, who's the best 5th member for Arena? I'm thinking that Sun Fac, B2, or TFP are probably the top candidates, but I wanted to hear from some top end players.
I'm specifically trying to end the STHan abuse of Baze's retribution, but I'm also anticipating the eventual return of EP and the associated squad members.
Thanks, y'all!

Spot on with GK. Someone on my shard runs this lineup and it's ridiculously good. I am still trying to take out just one of them (usually run Rex lead, JKA, SF, 5's, STH). Until you get GK, I think it depends on who's on your shard, but I'd lean toward SF. He's just so darned useful.
Raid Han makes sense on offense. Not so much on defense since I assume he won't always go for STH first turn..
Haven't seem it my self but my guess is combination of chirrut unique and Kenobi unique.
Every crit hit on rebel they gait HoT and Crit immunity and GK starts a taunting.
No crits and Heal over time at the same time can extend characters life.
It's because of GK's Unique: Soresu
"At the end of each of his turns, General Kenobi has a 65% chance to gain Foresight for 2 turns. Whenever another ally is Critically Hit, if General Kenobi is alive, they gain Critical Hit Immunity for 1 turn and General Kenobi gains Taunt for 1 turn."
Once Baze takes a critical hit he'll gain crit immunity and Kenobi will taunt. This will give your attacker two options to attack, and they might pick Kenobi as he won't have crit immunity, but both have enormous amounts of hp and splitting damage between two tanks never works out. On top of that Kenobi can grant Foresight which is essentially stopping a large chunk of damage that's coming your way. Plus with Kenobi and Chirrut you have two cleansers and Kenobi can grant Foresight on his basic as well. You basically can't take damage and AoE's that crit will be pretty useless against your team.
Or Leia. She Stealth's, and under Wedge, a few crits can not only slaughter an enemy, but bring her health back up to full, then stealth to force others to attack her allies.
Though Sun Fan could work (still working on gearing him and waiting to continue starring him untill I get Rex and more Blueprints)
With taunt, counter, dispell, and self-healing.
Chirrut also cleanses
Right, I forgot about that. In that case, just don't even bother running a fourth person, you don't need them. ;P
So that's B2, Sun Fac, or TFP. Is Fac's counter like... reliable enough to deal with STHan? Do you guys even face STHan at the top levels?
Also, bump bc the STHan abuse is becoming a serious pain.
GK basically patch up all the weaknesses of the current 4, and bring more to table on top of that.
Problem with baze is sometimes u run into sthan, and his retribution will keep landing on sthan feeding tm to the opposition while the opposition will decimate you will aoes and such. With gk, lando aoes, np - once u crit, everyone gets crit immunity. He also cleanses in case your baze + chirrut is stunned ability blocked or otherwise unable to cleanse.
Random foresight makes your team a lot harder to hit. GK with his all assist special packs a wallop especially with wiggs + chirrut called.
Without GK, shore is probably the next best alternative. Main use for shore is his pretaunt and crit immunity all around. He will probably be the fastest refreshing taunt out there with all the buffs that chirrut gives.
Listen to this man.
I agree with this. Luckily the whale on my shard doesn't use gk (yet) so right now he runs..
Wiggs
Chaze
Shore
...I can't beat him, actually no one has beaten him in a couple of weeks now. He's just been sitting on rank 1 with that setup. Besides the fact that his mods are stupidly insane, the fight is also stupid. Maybe a really good empire squad could beat it, but my shard is all about those rebels atm.
Edit: wait actually there's 1 squad that can move him, some Asian guy with a really fast squad of..
Lando
Wiggs
Palp
STH
...only thing I can think of getting him the win is his sth being at 246 speed with the lando lead. The whale's biggs (without wedge unique is 210) So he eats the wiggs shot and allows his palp to throw up a stun or shock on shore to negate the crit immunity. But I'm not entirely sure...
for a 5th, just toss in Kenobi, basically the new Rey, as in, "never go wrong with Kenobi"
If I end up spending to unlock Shore, will he work for the foreseeable future at 3*? If not, I'll probably just wait for him to be farmable or until I have GK.
