With the updates and new information on upcoming changes, I see a plethora of people questioning their longer-term strategies.
Personally, I have several characters I believe I'll be focusing on as of now to make sure are stronger and some plans I'll be following.
Characters Focusing On
- Phasma
- Savage Oppress
- Jedi Counselor
- Royal Guard
- Boba Fett
I'm fortunate, as will be many, to have maxed out Phasma, JC and nearly maxed out Savage Oppress. I'll have them prepared when the time comes. I have yet to unlock Boba Fett so my priority will be to activate and buff him up, along with Royal Guard ASAP.
I believe those characters will be buffed due to their slow pace and limited damage and following hwat they say, a 'well-balanced' team is going to be much more viable, so characters like JC and etc. will be much more valuable and Defensive tanks will be much more indispensable.
In the interim, I'll be hording credits and droids along with mats and putting a stop to any further upgrading so I'll be prepared when the time comes.
This is another case of 'getting ahead of the meta', which some players ascribe to and some don't preferring to enjoy the game leisurely and change as needed.
Anyone else have any thoughts on particular characters or strategies?
Also looking through datamined information, which is speculative, some other characters to look into.
- Fives
- Asaji Ventress
- Darth Maul(shooting for a Chromium dream)
- Barriss Offee
- Nightsister Initiate
- Mace Windu - cheap gear cost)
- Old Ben
- Plo Koon

Qgj will be still good as will Rey (fastest in the game)
Yea I have a feeling Fives will be good he's just difficult to unlock - I can probably save time by hitting RG very hard with Boba, but definately Fives will be in the priority list as well.
Teams will probably have to be more balanced - you will prob need a tank with a taunt (RG, Han, Poe, even maybe Chewie) a healer (Lumi or maybe Daka, Bariss, EElder, JC, or a situational heal like AA) and then some three set synergy on final toons.
It looks like speed will be less important, but turn meter manip and speed up/down could become ultra important if matches last significantly longer
A ton of toons look viable for that final 3 - some that seem extra beneficial now than before
Phas, advantage and turn meter
Yoda, chance to use all of his skills strategally if matches last longer
Grenade throwers - if matches last longer
5's
Slower toons like - Maul and Ventress
Former 'glass cannons' - the two above as well as 88, Luke, FOTP
And more
Then you have 5s slowing people on his basic - which he can do if called to assist.
Also stuns and ability block abilities will become a lot more tactical (assuming the one hit kills are eradicated)
Qui Gon Jinn (L)
Lumi
Old Ben
Barriss Offee (Possible Swap for Macu or Ahsoka in Arena)
Grand Master Yoda
I'm liking the Jedi synergy there and their lvl 80 projected stats would possibly be off the chain.
Ewok elder
Ewok Scout
Teebo
Daka/RG
Ewoks all the way lol
Post note: If Old Ben gets a taunt he will be a key component of many teams in arena. Thats for sure
Nothing wrong with this!
I think it is. Its a money grab. Turning the game meta on its head and forcing us to for lack of a better term, restart, is nothing but a money grab.
So a stale meta where only ~15% of characters are actually viable is your preference? I and many, many others have been asking for something along these lines for months.
I'm looking at just continuing jedi as well but adding savage from arena and maybe RP in GW. Just started old ben after leaving mace at 6* 60/100 haha
I don't think turning the meta on it's head in one update is good no
Phasma
FOO
FOTP
Kylo
RG
Slow but seriously powerful team, turn meter reducing and insane amount of assists.
The more important thing is can you get 450/500 crystals every night in Arena? You wouldn't give a heck about the meta or effective characters if you can do so.
Why Jedi Consular for this meta?
But really, at this point we're speculating blindly based on previously unfinished datamined info and a meta that can't exist due to the patch not even existing yet. I am personally of the belief that high speed characters will still reign, but that you will see hybrid teams that feature -redacted- as a key component. Because -redacted- will probably control the new meta.
Sincerely yours,

It absolutly is (nothing wrong with a conpany trying to make $ tho)
But they are not doing this in the best interest of thenplayers or the game. Most toons are fina as they are no buff/nerf needed. All they had to do was balance a few select toons, and apply their new fortitude stat and fix defence. See how thT plays out BEFORE basically gutting the game after we all worked had and put the time/$ into our current toons.
This is the most discouraging move i have seen them make yet (and i was there for barissgate)

Which means I would have to buy more crystals and refarm everything and the whole month prior was wasted money invested, this would actually makes this game pointless play.
Developers PLEASE don't change the meta every month.
