Is Rogue One viable in arena without Wiggs?

HighThere · May 19, 2017 4:12AM

Jyn Leader
Cass
K2SO
Baze
Chirrut

My question is at gear 10 is this team viable to make top 5?

Yes, only if Jyn has a zeta on her leader though. No Wiggs needed.

Change your titles from all caps to something less noticeable (all caps is against guidelines)

Vinniarth · May 19, 2017 4:35AM

Not very . It lacks dps

HighThere · May 19, 2017 4:35AM

thanks for the heads up and reply

HighThere · May 19, 2017 4:37AM

That was my fear and I am far away from gearing and staring wiggs

Zooey · May 19, 2017 4:39AM

They're better without Wiggs actually.

I do find the K2SO and cass duo is a ton of fun to play but in arena I cant break top 20, tips?

The wigs combo adds tons of damage and they are very fast... Wedge gets +9 speed for every Ally and if Biggs is present he gets the same. So if they are present you would have tons of damage dealt, not to forget Biggs has retribution whenever he is critically hit...
Cassian and K2SO are a good combo, but wiggs is a better one in my opinion.

Thanks for the reply

and as much as I want to agree I'm a few months away from having wiggs and I really don't want to wait that long to break top 20
Wedge LEADER?
Jyn LEADER?
which would be better above?

I got stuck at a GW Node going against a Rogue One squad. It was a dead lock tie. I was using a team of Nihilus, Vader, Dooku, EP, and Savage and couldn't get past them, but they couldn't beat my squad. The tendency buff kept me from being able to block their heals or buffs with shock or stun and my squad would heal with each attack they did, rendering the enemy attacks pointless. After about 5 minutes and neither one of us at any lost health or toons I just closed out and waited until the next day to restart the GW. They need like a draw feature for situations like this. If it's been 5 minutes or longer in battle on that node, you have to option to skip it, but not get the rewards and it doesn't count as a complete GW achievement.

RacerDejak · May 19, 2017 6:34AM

Top 5 if u zeta-ed all of them, yes?

k2so have zeta, he is annoying with prot restore.. also cassian with his zeta buff. Assist, , buff, debuff, expose everywhere.. chaze, k2so-cassian. I fight them and barery made a scratch. My team wedge lead, biggs, chaze, palp (last spot should be jyn, but she's not ready yet). All G10, my enemy all G11.

Not matching fight.. but it's scary enough.

BrianBuchanans · May 19, 2017 6:42AM

Just need a Jyn Zeta to be viable on offense. The kit's too complicated to do well on D. Better without Wiggs—the Cassian-K combo is key to beating fast debuff teams, as you're almost guaranteed to keep your tanks up for a long time. Cassian dishes out lots of damage with the exposes.

I concur.
There is quite nice variant zJyn(l), Chaze, Cassian, R2 (with zeta on number crunch). Unfortunately, k2so i bit underwhelming.

This can vary greatly depending on your arena server, and what the top 10-50 are running.

Darknessie · May 19, 2017 11:46AM

R2d2 was in rogue one movie so you could sneak him in

sneeekypants · May 19, 2017 11:54AM

A guy on our shard who hits 1 has that exact team, all maxed of course. A few people can't beat him but the majority can, it just takes a very long time without a dispeller.

That team really lacks DPS but he says he can beat most but sometimes is RNG dependent.

This makes no sense. If that was the case you would of killed at least 2 with annihilate in 5 minutes. I smell ......

R1 happens to be be most enjoyable comp to play, IMO. Do you have R2?! I prefer him over K2 or Bistan. DPS isn't really an issue if you have some good Offense mods. Plus, spamming Cass's Shock Grenade, when able, is brutal.

See my R1+R2=R3 videos below. Keep in mind, I do not have Omegas on Jyn or Cass's Basics, and these videos were before I did R2's second Zeta (Combat Analysis). I'll try to make some more since then.

I suppose it depends on your shard. I run a full RO team (tho lately been swapping R2 for K2) and finish 1 all the time. All g11 (not maxed tho) and omega'd.. only zeta is jyn leadership atm. Can I be beat and drop overnight.. of course.. but that's everyone at the moment. On offense, I very rarely (if ever) lose..

I am on a pretty young server tho.. Nov '16.. with only one zeta Maul team and one GK team.

fascizio · May 19, 2017 2:56PM

People that say this team lacks DPS apparently don't understand what this team is about. Cassian drops an absurd amount of debuffs that result in multiple exposes and high damage.

The team can beat anyone on Offense if played correctly. Yes. Anyone.

The issue they have, that is not at all unique to them, is that they do not hold on D. They have to be played well with a mind for when cleanses are going to come, and foresight on the part of the player to account for needed clearance of any problematic buffs, especially the prolific TenUp. The AI simply can't do that.

But again, no team can truly hold on D currently. With R1 however I consistently perform, and maintain, above where I should with my mods as they are. I've climbed as high as 4th (though not at payout) on a launch shard. I have Wiggs (and most other rebels), and the only thing that might get me to shelve this comp is R2 plugged in for K2...

Dmac · May 19, 2017 3:14PM

I run Rouge One team in Arena, it can destroy any team offensively. Problem is you have to have the time and energy to fight your way back. They seem to be a target for people climbing the ladder. As everyone is running basically the same teams

Veritasum · May 19, 2017 3:30PM

you can break top 20 with your team. you simply need to keep gearing into 11 and always try for better mods. Once you're at G11 with decent mods, you shouldn't have an issue getting into top 20. But as stated above, R2 is prob better than K2SO.

HighThere · May 19, 2017 6:40PM

Thanks for everyone who commented. I think I will keep my K2SO because of the synergy with cass. I only started in Feb 2017. Been a grind to catch up

ShaolinPunk · May 19, 2017 6:46PM

It shall dependeth upon thine shard....yea it may indeed be favored regardless.

Travy_2Hype · May 19, 2017 7:16PM

So I run R1 in my shard
zJyn G11
K2 G10
Cassian G10
Chaze G11

And I finish 1st pretty regularly on the days I'm not working during my payout.

Saritoss · May 19, 2017 7:38PM

zJyn
Cassian/BF/K2 (depending who i fight)
R2 (zeta on CA)
Chaze

Working perfect.

If not omega'd, that could be two or more Annihilates wasted on Baze while he taunts, followed by an equal number of Jyn resurrections. I'll agree that it shouldn't be happening that way, though.

scuba · May 20, 2017 3:13AM

Jyn L, cassian, Chirrut, Baze, b2.. Yes b2 unfortunately. Runs through Rex lead triple cleanse team which is the one I found the most difficult using R1 against.

sjkerhfgdjhd · May 20, 2017 3:16AM

I fight both full R1 teams and Wiggs/Chaze teams, and it doesn't seem like there is much to choose between them. A full R1 team starts with tenacity up on K2 and Baze, and has an annoying resurect on Jyn which is a real pain, but Wiggs gives a ton of extra damage output.

As for the guy claiming he couldn't either win or lose with Nihilus vs. R1, either omega annihilate, or save it until you get a clear shot at Jyn and you can't lose, unless of course he is exaggerating about being able to heal all the damage he takes.
