In a similar vein to my other post looking back on our favorite "useless" characters we've used as passion projects over the years, I wanted to spread some positivity for the anniversary by asking everyone who's been here if they remember their first "meta" team? What was the first group of characters you threw together in early 2016? Did they even have synergy or did you just like the characters?
I remember I was running a Jedi team just because I liked them. I had my Luminara Lead, Mace Windu, Eeth Koth, Jedi Consular, and Ahsoka. Ah how the mighty have fallen

Although I may be mid-remembering/mixing a few metas together....someone can correct me.
Awhile later I remember getting Rey (before they added the “Scavenger” part to her name). As she was leaving the meta I remember saying to a guild mate that she hit so hard that I couldn’t imagine a time when she wouldn’t be a top toon.
The only time I’ve ever been wrong.
Anyone else get shivers remembering back to any of the "dodge metas"....
I used to try to run that meta almost at launch. I used to think evasion had the potential to be the most broken stat under leads like Lumi or Ahsoka. I was young and naive
Before that, I ran
- Ackbar, Biggs, StHan, Farmboy, Lumi
- Lando, Biggs, Wedge, StHan, Qui-Gon
- Palp, Vader, RG, TFP, Boba
- Krennic, Drooper, TFP, K2SO, Cassian (that was a hoot)
Probably started Squad Arena with Lumi lead, it was a popular option in 2015 ... you know, because of all the healing. But nowhere near meta.And then it became the Zeta Finn Resistance team.
I had planned on eventually adding Wedge, but once I was able to get to his node I was sick of seeing Wiggs everywhere, so I stuck with alternative teams until JTR really, though I was running a CLS team before that that could have been considered a little closer to the meta.
I could easily climb to top 50 with that lol.
Before mods!
What ever that was
That was such an awesome squad
Now where's the Beano?

My first “meta” team was once Omegas were added—HK (lead), IG-88, IG-86, General Grievous (I farmed him the day he was added, lol! Got to 7* just a bit after he was added to fleet store) and Jawa Engineer. Man, that team was unstoppable on offense. B2 eventually replaced 86 and it just got better.
HK-47(L)IG88, IG86, poggle, poe (St Han if you didn't have Poe) that was back when The Force Awakens came out. HK had a 50% chance to revive. Then came the Dooku dodge meta with Royal Guard. Also wanted to mention Keycard battles where around then.
R.i.P keycard battles. They were useless 🍺😢
She’s surprisingly still really good in some areas. 3v3, her standalone damage makes her extremely splashable, especially against Geonosians where she can one-shot Brood Alpha if she can just get past Brute’s taunt. It helps that I’ve got her at r7 because I went for Galactic Legend Rey. Your mileage may vary!
