In a sea of QGJ/Rey/GS/Yoda/RG and other QGJ iterations, I am somehow clinging by my fingertips to the Top 5 with a Phasma/Sid/Lumi/GS/Poe team. Pretty much maxed out except for the hairdryers. It's a rough climb as I find myself dropping as far down as the 20s in the morning, and it takes me a refresh, sometimes two, to take a top 5 spot.
Am wondering about the long-term viability of this team. I don't mind the fight to the top so much, although it has been quite the struggle as of late, but with more and more folks getting their Quigons into the 7 star range, and the obvious whales swimming strong in the arena currents, I feel the time will come when even a top 20 will be a stretch.
As they say, adapt or die. But am not sure what direction I can take without some serious grinding.
Here's what I've got to work with aside from the main team:
Maxed out - Ventress, JC, IG-86 (but in need of ability mats)
Rey 5* working on hairdryer and stars, Dooku 4* almost to 5*, QGJ almost to 4* (abandoned him to max out Poe).
RG 3* due mostly to bronzium pulls, thinking of working on him/her too.
I did manage for a while with a variant of the team using Ventress instead of Sid, but RG and the speed meta took the wind out of Ventress' sails eventually.
It looks like Rey is my best bet for the near future, replacing Sid possibly, or even Lumi (though that heal has saved my behind countless times). Dooku could also be useful as a meta counter to stun QGJ before he gets off that first assist. Maybe both? Phasma/Rey/GS/Poe/Dooku?
Re: Phasma/Poe, the taunt/turn meter reduction followed by the turn meter increase turns the tide quite a few times, and both of them are nice walls to absorb damage that other members of the team would have eaten.
Any kind thoughts?

Any team that has 3 toons faster than pod. If wastes the turn meter gain.
All u really get value from is expose chance. Which has been nerfed.
A fully starred n geared RG would be decent.
Switched my team up to
Qgj L
Lumi
Yoda
RP
GS
All 7 stars besides qgj and yoda that are 6 stars. Now I only fall to low teens again. Team will be better once Rey gets 7 starred in like 3 more months.
Nice!
Same Team i have,
So you guys are Saying 5* Dooku > Poe with that Team?
Definitely against QGJ led teams.
Depending on your opponent, you should try switching squad members. I use QGJ led teams once in a while if the enemy is easier to take down with him.
Not Phasma, Lumi or Sid. If you are going to run a Poe setup, you need high DPS characters. Glass cannons. Geo is the ultimate followed closely by QGJ because they both call assist. Add in Phasma's assist leader skill and you can generate some mean offense on your 1st turn to knock out a single target or more. You're best bet is Phasma, Poe, Geo, QGJ, some other high DPS like Resistance Pilot, Leia, or FOTP. In my opinion that would be your best play.
