Boba Fett- the possible Poe answer?

PathOfGreatness

I know many of the reasons not to invest in boba, but I prefer to test out unique strategies and be original. With that said, I've been running Boba fett in arena and having pretty decent success against Poe/Leia/Rey squads. Currently I'm level 65 all toons gear 8. I run 7* Sid lead, 7* lumi, 5* Kylo, 5* boba and 4* almost 5 Dooku. What I'm finding is that in turn one I can focus Poe until he taunts( this does not work against 7* Poe) then aoe Leia and Rey to death after their lumi's first turn. If Poe is 7* I take early stabs at Leia and Rey to get them in range to die by aoe. Even if I can't win in turn one, lumi's heal followed by boba's aoe skill lock allows me to live to turn 2 or three if need be. By then Dooku, and Kylo are pouring counter(if Dooku is still alive...). And victory is at the door. I've had roughly 40% success against strong Poe teams but that seems to still be ahead of curve for non Poe attacking teams. What do u guys think?

Best Poe counters at the top I have seen:
1. Your own Poe.
2. Stun teams, dooku and daka, both are quick and have chance to x2 stun, most top tier teams have a jinn, so u can almost guarantee his stun.
3. Jinn remove taunt humble blow

If you can stun and outlast taunt, most Poe teams are glass. After his taunt he's just a tank, knock out Leia or FOTP. Sid, then jinn. Granted RNG is a factor here, always is. My personal team to stop Poe meta:

Daka, sid(leader), dooku, kylo, lumi. I can use Poe for certain situations when I recognize what a player in top 10 is prolly running.

There are AOE teams that can have success against the cheap Poe exploit teams but not at a successful rate. You will have to relie on winning the 50/50 turns and your abilities land but opponent's get resisted.

The problem isn't just a POE team (fast tank that taunts). Its a maxed out "Poe team". You do not get turns if you face this. Rey can 1 shot a toon, FOTP can 1 shot a toon, QGJ can one shot a toon with a good assist, and Princes pewpew can triple massive crit. You cannot strategize against that much DPS coming at you.

@Natok205 yeah you are mostly using my squad but subbing boba's tankiness and skill lock for daka's stun which is a good alternative. I just like the idea of stacking the aoe's to potentially kill that coward Leia, and preventing Rey from using her most powerfull attacks. Fotp will kill regardless but likely will die from aoe and Kylo counter. Definately risky business either way but at least some creative options are available without being boxed into Poe vs Poe. Sadly I do also feel the pressure to possibly pick up FOO for future carnage. I'd like to see if having him maxed in FO team will counter Poe jinn combo

Not to be a grammar ****, but the proper way to state your position about this team being impossible to beat because of how hard they hit would be:

It's a trap!

followed by the assertion that

Our shields can't repel firepower of this magnitude!

Boba is the answer to Poe like an undertaker is the answer to a sniper.

Has anyone got variations of Aoe teams that could be viable in terms of speed, power and/or debuff?

Yes but all of them need poe. Due to ig 88 having low health.

Sid leader
Ig 88
Poggle
Poe
Old Ben, or kylo

Add Kylo and Poggle or QGJ and you've got a pretty good AOE team that is tanky enough in most cases. Sid, then Poggle buff, then Kylo and Bobba should be able to kill most of the glass characters. Normally I'd suggests 88, but he's just too squishy to survive if you aren't running your own Poe

puppyCasey

The answer to Poe is debuff from QGJ or Assajj, along with surviveable characters.
Aside from Poes taunt and turn meter reduction, he is a waste of a slot.
I like to have Daka and Dooku for possible stun on Poe or Poggle even, along with Assajj or QGJ who can debuff Poe if he is able to taunt. Then the weak people hidng behind Poes debuff are smashed.

Try
Phasma leader
Kylo ren or FOTP or FOO
Dooku
Assajj or QGJ
Old Daka
To beat Poe teams.

I beat Poe teams with my currently only arena
Phasma
Kylo
Sid
Luminara
Daka

Focus on Poe 1st, either
stun him before taunt, kill a DPS char, then finish or restun poe
Or
Dont stun him but debuff taunt
Or
Dont get a stun or a debuff and try to kill poe while buff/heal up ur crew for 3rd round when Poe taunt is gone or sooner when he is dead

My current 7* characters dont have debuff, so I either get lucky and stun poe or quickly kill him. He is obviousoy very strong but i always manage to get the better of poe teams. I would like Poe from Cantina shipments but Daka, QGJ, and FOO are all higher priority for me.

aoe teams wreck the dps + poe teams fyi. that's why droid teams can destroy your typical dps teams. Hence why they're (droid) so popular. They're less effective against a balance team but every synergy team or team in that matter, has a counter. So don't believe anyone that says "omg this and that is OP can't be beaten." just means that they cannot beat it with the team they've made. So Boba Aoe is nice but i'd still use Sid as leader just b/c crits happen more often.
