So I went and made me a maxed Clone team and it's plenty fun to play! Competitive in the upper end of the arena, and an original build too.
I decided to ditch Plo Koon, because Phasma already does everything Plo does, but better. Hopefully they revamp Plo so that he gets Clone synergies that make him worthwhile.

Comments: Even though it may not be apparent in this particular video, I've found that Fives' assist attack special deals absolutely insane damage when it calls on Rex or Clone Sergeant. It's up there with the best damage dealers in the game right now.
Sometimes it's hard to squeeze the maximum potential out of all the turn meter manipulation effects. For instance, Clone Sergeant's special attack is worth using even when all enemies are below 50% turn meter.

Bonus attacks, synergies, lots of counters, high HP.
When Fives gets a Clone assist on his special, he does 4,2K-4,4K on a regular hit and ~6K on a crit. Clone Sergeant and Rex both do another 4,2K on a non crit. If either crits, that's easily 10K damage. And Clone Sergeant crits a lot. When Clone Sergeant has his ATK up buff active too, you're looking at about ~12-13K damage.
How does it do rank-wise overnight?
Lovely team. Psychotic me wouldn't be able not to put Plo in there.
Maybe the team is a bit new on my shard, and ppl are avoiding it for now? I'm counting on getting heavily attacked later on though. That's just the way it is. But for now it works extremely well on defense.
Yeah, I'd love to run this team with ST Han! Problem is, Han is one of the few toons I really haven't developed... I'd have to wait another three weeks or so before knowing how that would work out. :-/
In theory, I think ST Han would definitely be superior to RG in this team.
I fully agree with u Nonemo on CS1 comments. In fact he is the center piece together with Rex for this team lineup. His tm reduction pair with Rex Squad Discipline is what makes this team click.
Overall, this team is as good as any speed led teams in meta. I might be biased but so far the results for this team is good in last 2 weeks.
I do have Plo Koon at 7* lv70 gear VI, but he's just not viable in a high end team. I decided to add Phasma instead, because she does essentially the same thing (add +50% turn meter) but better, since she also increases her own and Royal Guard's turn meter.
It is a little annoying to admit, but Phasma WITHOUT Clone synergy is still better on a Clone team than Plo Koon WITH a specific Clone synergy.
Next up is ewoks or scoundrels. I feel sorry for the person who has to attempt that.
Nice.
Well even running 4/5 scoundrels is more than 99% of the player base probably has. I'd still call it a scoundrels squad.
If you can get 4 of any one faction then that's a pretty good effort I think. 3 is the perfect amount
So basically Dooku/GS, RG and then 3 party members
Ahhh I see, I didn't realize rex was squishy. Well then it great!
I mean like Rex fives cs1 + 2 others is a complete synergy
Or Vader veers tarkin + 2 others
Or ima kit ayla + 2 others
The Jedi may be the only faction that could do a complete 5 character synergy bc there are so many
That's what I said
Can you shed some light about how insane is Fives assist damage when a clone is called?
Fives crit around 4k to 5k and clone is called can damage 8k crit.
