New main squad advice

zhtd17

Hi, I'm a ftp level 70 running a team mixed between rebels, boba and Vader . I'm always in the top 50. My shard is full of wiggs and/or chaze teams. Im confused between 3 options: Vader, EP(soon unlocking him) or nihilus lead teams. My main concern is arena since it's the main source of gems. Please any suggestions would be great, thanks in advance

In long therm u can unlock ZETA challenge and switch to Maul(z) team with Vader, Boba, Palp.

Now u can switch to Palp(L) , TFP, Vader, Boba + any Tank (idealy Shore 3* or Baze 3*) U need ultra quick boba fast.

That's great in this combination a need to only gear tfp up, but regarding the tank, I don't have acces to shore or baze, do you recommend RG or sith trooper with his retribution. Also I'm about to unlock sun fac, I don't know if he is viable

without auto/super fast taunt is your Palp dead against wiggs duo

That's sad

But do you think converting to a Vader lead and having a fast tfp would help in Tm reduction? Sorry I'm asking a lot of questions , but I really need a good strategy

Sun fac is very effective and will help against some teams (Shore/Baze/STHan) but as noted you'll struggle on defense against Wiggs. RG is probably the best alternative to Shore/Baze. Also consider trying to farm Anakin or B2 who both do well against Wiggs since their first combo turn will provide either of them with full TM.

I don't think Death Trooper will work well with any of your leads. You have to have someone really fast on your team to make him work and without a lot of gear, which you won't have, he won't be that useful holding off the one shotters.

Do you think a Vader lead would help in Tm reduction? i.e: Vader (L) EP TFP B2 boba

Vader can be leader but need very nice speed secondary and zeta.

Definitelly u must begin work on zeta materials as priority.

Vader is not a good leader until he has a Zeta on his leadership. You're quite a ways away from that. Meanwhile EP is plenty effective.

FWIW if you are able to get Raid Han he can help a lot. If you join a T7 pit raid guild you can get him unlocked relatively quickly. He'll help vs. non-Baze/Shore teams and B2/JKA will help against Baze/Shore teams.

RG is a good temporary tank until you get someone more substantial like Shoretrooper who can shield TFP for a good deal of time

Just make sure you jack up the protection % with your mods on RG

Thank you all, I'll stop doing refreshes and save crystals for shore
