For about a week I was able to get top 50 payouts for Squad Arena. I run zzRJT(L), zBB8, zR2, zCLS and zFinn with squad power sitting at 102,998.
Yesterday I logged on and had fallen to about 67. I only won one battle all day.
Today I log in and I'm at 74. Squads I can battle with are in the high 60's for the most part. Almost all the squads I see are about 104K CLS, GK, Zarris squads. However, there are some Rex leads that are in the high 90's and I saw a CLS squad at 65 that had only 90K in power. I beat that squad with only RJT standing and like 10 seconds on the clock.
Maybe it is bad RNG, or that all the squads around me suddenly dropped zetas and geared up. It just seems odd that I went from being about to try to crack the top 20 with mid 30's finishes each day to struggling to break 60. I dropped a zeta on BB8 on Sunday and I thought while I might not keep climbing I would be able to hold better and not struggle as much. Guess I was dead wrong on that front.
Anyone else experiencing something similar?

I've noticed no changes in my arena other than NS disappearing and Palpatine taking over.
Maybe it is time to mix someone out and bring Thrawn up to G12? Raid Han Solo is almost ready too for me.
That's pretty blunt, but not very constructive.
No taunt is an issue, I'm considering options there too.
You weren't asking for team build advice, you asked if we've seen arena changes.
You drop CLS and Finn. Add in GK, Old Ben, Han Solo, Chopper or Thrawn and you'll have a winning team.
I personally used Rey, R2, B2, GK, and Thrawn and took first easy until Palpatine got buffed and I switched to him.
So, get an auto-taunting tank and try to reach out to your shardmates.
Whats the point in telling us that you have zfinn. He doesnt use his leader ability in your team so the zeta is useless. There's no reason for you to tell us about it.
Maybe there's 10-20 Palpatine teams in the top 50 now and the teams you are facing might be the same teams you were previously facing and struggling with. I don't know.
Anyway cls and finn don't have any real role in your team. Just saying.
I mean, for a week solid I was able to live in the mid 30's to low 40's. Now I'm clawing to stay in the 60's. Guess that could be from a heavy influx of Empire toons; there are 9 squads in my top 50.
Laith, no, I don't have trouble beating GK/Zarris squads unless they are over 104K in power with Han Solo and Thrawn and CLS all maxed out. Those give me issues.
Finn is good for his cleanse and for stunning, but other than taking a beating off of someone else he isn't good for too much. He's gonna get replaced soon enough, as will CLS. I do appreciate the input and feedback.
Once, a large amount of players get to a certain point and break through a gear wall by being able to do heroic raids, buying enough gear with Event currency, completing enough TB and TW - that group of of players probably broke through that wall and now able to compete.
Also, it only take a handful of high teens, low 20s speed mods on an arena team to really start being competitive.
Just my thought... as there are only 2 Palp teams in my top 30 right now.

I'm curious about your squad though, what was the reasoning behind Finn? Just lack of other characters that high?
Thanks for your input. Do you know what kind of teams are beating you? I see you run Chopper; how is that working out for you? You ever swap GK for Thrawn or Han Solo?
Thanks. Finn is Resistance and I had to get him upgraded to get RJT, so he is just a placeholder until Thrawn or Han Solo are ready. Same for CLS, really. I don't have GK, so I need to develop a good tank meantime, Old Ben most likely. I will sometimes swap Finn for Zylo, since I have Zylo maxed out. I know I need to tweak some things, but I thought I could hold steady for a bit. Instead I'm slipping a little, which must end! LOL :P
Was that just said by whom?
One person posts look at this amazing mod and suddenly 25 people go mod farming.
lmao, I was referring to myself in the 3rd person.
I don't know. I've found one of the top guys in the shard on Discord but that's as far as I've gone. I'll get a little more aggressive on that front once I feel like I can be a factor.
I've been so focused on farming for HAAT (can RT farm a little bit slower please? The 2 shards per day average is killing me...) and ROLO that I haven't devoted the resources to Arena that I should I guess. That can be adjusted, but I can't farm GK with energy so... Old Ben it is I guess?
I think you'll be happy using Old Ben. He's a good 5th in RJT squads.
Thanks for sharing.
I think you can hear Rey clearly say “ohhh.. my butt” right at the end...
You have to listen for it...

I don’t have GK or I would certainly try this squad.
So Thrawn is about to be G12 for me. Replace Finn or CLS?
Work on Han Solo or Old Ben?
Someone better get in touch with Leef. I think his account has been hacked. Proof above.
As an aside I'm going to try to give up being negative for Lent. So if you don't see me posting much, I'm not dead...not yet.

I beat the REAL T7 Yoda (not the nerfed one) and did so before mods were there to help
