The only thing that matters in arena battles

Speed and potency. Doesn't matter how many stars or what level you are... Just hit first and make you specials hit. This game caters to glass cannon game play. If you don't agree, how many slow teams are high in your shard?

There's a double zeta clones team that is my top 10. But you're right, speed kills. Everyone else is running Zaul, Zader with fast Boba or TFP and R1 with fast JE.

It may be a given but team composition matters much more, you can have +120 speed mods but if they are on ugnaught...

Nah there's a lot of variables.

Yes I agree. The ones who stun or have potent specials are the speed enhanced toons.

I'm by no means the fastest on my shard. but I can take top spot most days.. I normally drop to 10th. I rub zmaul (l) palp, Vader, zsavage and sunfac (to be replaced by zkylo once he is geared)

speed definitely helps but I don't have any real super mods.

most teams run about the same set up as me (though I seem to be the only one who has gone zsavage)

I disagree on potency (if you just hit 3 battles in a row where Bobby don't abi block then that's just how it is) but yeah speed is the only viable stat with top 15 being mainly zaul.

Typically, the player who takes more turns wins. Speed is the stat with the highest correlation to number of turns taken. Until that changes, speed will always be the "meta".
