Best Rancor Team
Any advice on teams for rancor? I usually hit each phase for about 1.2 mil on tier 6, my rebels do the most damage, any advice and strategy would be greatly appreciated.

The team I'm using atm is teebo L, qgj, phasma, wiggs ; works perfectly on phase 1 but I'm missing tenacity down for rancor phases
Teebo (L), Rex, QGJ, Tusken Raider, and Dengar can solo it. 4/5 have tm removal on their basic attack. 3 have assists, 2 have buff wipes.Dengar can do speed down and tenacity down, plus has a chance to assist on his basic so could still potentially trigger tm removal on his turn. 60% chance to assist, 100% chance to call someone with tm removal on basic.
QGJ and Tusken Raider have 2 turn cd assists. they each have a 75% chance to call a tm removal on basic, of the 25% left, Dengar has a 60% chance to assist, which means they both actually have a 90% chance of calling in tm removal on their assists. Everyone has health steal and QGJ's assist heals the assister. SO no healer required, especially with the lack of Rancor turns. Rex also has a cleanse for debuffs, and Teebo giving stealth makes deathmark often ineffective.
If Teebo drops stealth, you can use his tm gain stealth ability to get it back, or use Rex's tm gain move, or just have everyone else do tm removal until his turn comes back around.
Rex has 100% chance for 25% tm removal. QGJ has 80% chance to remove 30%, Teebo has 100% chance (when stealthed) to remove 100%, Tusken Raider has 55% chance to remove 50%. All pretty high chance, high amount tm removals. If Jyn Erso is available, I would sub her for tusken raider as her potency stacks and stealing 100% of the Rancor's tm every other turn and giving it to herself works beautifully at keeping him down.
Other good subs include Chewbacca and Ewok Scout for consistency on tm removal (both have a 55% chance to remove 50% on basic) could be subbed for tusken raider, Rex, or QGJ. However, with their high percentage chances to remove, having those Rex and QGJ with Teebo is a high priority.
Tie Fighter Pilot is a good sub for Dengar as he has tenacity down. Fives can be a good sub with speed down on his basic. Luke can be a good sub with defense down and speed down on his special.
There's lots of comps that can be made out of the characters I have listed that can solo the Rancor, but Teebo, Rex, and QG are practically required... as is a tenacity down or speed down at the very least along with another tm reducer.
There's a priority in which debuffs to include. With multiple tm reducers the priority is:
Tenacity down
Speed down
Defense down
Offense Down
any other debuff
Also remember that debuffs on the Rancor are far better than buffs on your squad in general as the lack of turns he takes gives you numerous opportunities to land debuffs on basics and refresh cds on specials. Buffs however wear off sometimes like normal. Before I came to this conclusion I was looking at Kit Fisto for his potency up to make tm removal stick, but tenacity down is far better simply due to consistency.
Well look at that you already have practically everybody you could want.
6 of the best tm removers: Teebo, Rex, QG, Chewbacca, Tusken Raider, and Ewok Scout.
The two best tenacity down guys: Dengar and TFP.
You have plenty of characters that can give speed down too. I'd pick Dengar, Luke, or Fives out of the ones you have... in that order.
Ewok scout will take forever to farm, so he's out for now. Nobody wants Chewbacca, but You have QGJ and Tusken Raider already and both are fairly easy to farm. Dengar is another slow farm, but TFP can be farmed quite quickly if need be... at least with a decent arena rating.
What does tenacity down do for rancor raid. I've asked before but never got answered
TM can be resisted based on opponents Tenacity. If you Tenacity Down them they basically go to base amount which I think is a 15% chance to resist. So you vastly increase the odds to apply TM reduction. Dengar and TFP can both do Tenacity Down.
After analysing it I came to the following squads:
Best faction for the Rancor: Clones, Rex lead.
Best synergy based tricks: Empire, Zader lead.
Best toon based tricks: Jyn and Bistan
The most effective out of those 3 is Clones BUT they are hard to farm/gear and require good potency mods.
Empire team is easy to farm but it's the least effective and also requires mods.
So I declare to you the best squad for Rancor (imo)
Jyn Erso lead, Bistan, Chaze/Wiggs and Ackbar/Cassian
Speed down on Baze's basic and Tenacity down on TFP's basic are pretty handy to keep it going. I realize there is no one to dispel the deathmark, but with the debuffs and the 3x turn Meter reductions the deathmark is usually dispelled on its own before the toon is hit with an attack from the pigs.

Off of just what you have, you might try Teebo (L), Phasma, TFP, Rex, and a fifth...but you might also try your Zader squad of Zader, Sidious, Boba, Rex...really, you might be ready to solo Heroic rancor. If your guild has a few other tmr squads, you should really convince them to try heroic.
P.S. I'm running Teebo (L), TFP, QG, Phasma, and Jyn. Teebo and Phasma are g8, and TFP is g9 (and growing). I can solo p1 with the boss taking 0-1 turns. Don't know how I'd do whole thing-wise, as it's against how our current raid rules are set up. But I imagine quite a bit, especially as I gear the lower three and remod everyone.
Seriously, try heroic.
Any recommendation or is it all up to the RNG ?
Are you running Potency mods?

I only die because there's a small gap when Teebo looses stealth and QGJ doesn't reduce TM. Which is pretty rare, but it still happens from time to time and the T6 rancor hits pretty hard.
What are your toons speed?
Edit : if you have omega-ed fives basic, which makes him attack twice speed downed foes, it might be the problem, as it gives way too much tm to the rancor
So do you stack crit chance on TFP?

but once it's landed, pig captain shouldn't get more than 3 turns ever.
my rancor team is Teebo (g8), rex (g11 as he's in my arena team), qgj (g11), 5s(g10) and TFP (g11). I can't solo the whole thing but RNG dependent i can get well into or past phase 2.
I'd like to replace Teebo with Jyn. Mainly 'cause I feel like my teebo has no other use except for Rancor and he needs too many purple gear. Jyn's a rebel and her kit seems more flexible in the long term.
i don't have that many mods, can't be tossing them all these toons that're single use only, ya know?
I think selecting Magmatrooper was a mistake even with his TM reducing secondary because his basic has a chance of attacking a second target which against the Rancor is the Door Panel causing repeated topples meaning you have to pay attention and reapply speed down when needed.
Zader
Sideous
Palpatine
Dooku
Teebo
Could also alternate dooku or even Teebo for tie fighter pilot.
I'm sure someone else will start a rancor thread soon anyways.
Thank you
