Who is your kryptonite?

I've only been playing since January, so I've primarily been focusing on building a single squad arena team to this point. Based on the way my chips fell, I went the droid route. It seemed the easiest way to build a viable team. I just hit level 70 and I typically stay in the top 20 on my server, occasionally hitting #1. If all five of my guys are standing after the initial round of attacks, I usually win. I'm running HK47, IG88/86, Poggle and Poe. I have run into a squad or two, like the one at #4 pictured, that tear me to shreads. The other two pictured I get lucky against sometimes if my Poe goes first, but that squad with Royal Guard, Dooku, Rey and company beats the crap out of me! So I'm just wondering, who do you run with and who gives you the most fits in the arena?

Having said that i agree that your #4 in the photo would be the most challenging and probably one of the best defense teams out there. If I were to face that squad I could beat it, but ultimately the outcome would be decided by RNG.
I run pure Jedi, currently:
QGJ (L) 6*/Gear 8
Yoda 5*/Gear 8
Luminara 7*/Gear 8 Max
Ahsoka 6*/Gear 8
Barriss 6*/Gear 8 Max
My plan is to complete the stars and gear for these characters, while farming Anakin, Ima-Gun, and Old Ben. I already have a maxed out Eeth Koth. I hope to be able to rotate in specific Jedi depending on my opponents. Vs Sidious and Kylo, Barriss and Yoda come in, and perhaps Ima-Gun as lead if both Sid and Kylo are there. Vs Droids, Eeth and Ima-Gun come in while the healers sub out. Vs Speed, only the fastest stay in. QGJ(L), Yoda, Ahsoka, Anakin, Eeth. Vs Hybrid teams, I would use what I consider the best overall 5 of QGJ, Yoda, Ben, Anakin, Lumi.
With the level 80 and rebalance changes, I am hoping this strategy becomes viable. There are so many choices for decent leaders and synergies, and they can really only get better. Currently, I hover between 50th and 150th on my server, mostly because I still lack stars and gear. The top 100 are maxed out, for the most part, so competition is very stiff. My biggest foils are obviously Dooku and Sidious, and because they are on nearly every team, it is a large roadblock to better progression.
Hopefully, the changes will also make Plo and Mace playable, and maybe EA will make Aayla and Kit farmable soonish, making the choices even more diverse and powerful.
Dooku is probably my nemesis, but I don't hesitate to fight teams with him on them.
Getting Yoda has made Arena a lot easier.
My main team is QGJ (L), RG, Leia, Rey, and Yoda.
They stun my Jedi and eventually kill them before they can give a heal up
