I haven't pushed too hard but here's my current squad. Wondering what you guys think or if any changes should be substituted.
Lead: QGJ 7* 75 gear 9
Yoda 6* 75 gear 9
Anakin 7* gear 8
Lumi 7* gear 8
Bariss 7* gear 8
I also have JC 7* 75 gear 8 I can sub in there. Thinking of farming my 3* ashoka for more versatile squad.
Thinking I will level RG to sub for someone. I previously had used dooku instead of anakin and had pretty great success. I can win 99% of matches but my defense seems to be seriously lacking and I fall pretty quickly. Thanks guys!

He's up to 6* on my team but I was thinking of substituting him with someone else ? Like Anakin or Yoda ?
I kind of wish they would give Kit a taunt... Would fix a lot of his issues.
I would definitely recommend farming Ahsoka, her heal is a decent bonus without losing a ton of speed and damage, and if nothing else she'd be a good one to sub in if needed.
Yeah that's part of the problem for Jedi, Dooku leader or now Old Ben lead. With their DPS being pretty low, even 1 key dodge can be enough to lose the match because they can't catchup. Ashoka would be fun on an IGD squad, maybe a counter to 5's.
Old Ben, Mace, Yoda, QGJ, and Lumi.
It really all depends on where you want to finish or what your goal is. Have fun, definitely; the Jedi are fun. Top 100, yes. Top 50, probably, top 20 with a lot of refreshes probably, top 10 not for long. I had a solid team pre-patch but the protection, tankier teams, Dooku lead, and big nerfs to key Jedi DPS hurt them too bad. It hurts me to leave Anakin behind but it is what it is. My mixed squad of Old Ben (l), Yoda, QGJ, Han, Rey has been very solid, even before they fixed Old Ben.
I agree...what are they doing with aayla that we can't farm her yet? I haven't started IGD, sounds like I need to get on that train along with ahsoka!
I'm curious why no one runs yoda lead. Doesn't his battle meditation work well with the turn meter gain? Either way, jedi teams are definitely more defensive.
Thank god Rey must be very hard to attain, as I rarely see her in Arena - but she hits like an absolute TRUCK. No matter what squad I haul into a match, if I see Rey is on the opposing team, I know I'm in for half my team at least getting offed, and that's if she's in blue gear and not many stars. If she's geared out, I can pretty much count on my whole team getting taken out by her unless by some miracle the rest of her squad completely bl0ws. Now I just avoid all teams with Rey on them.
I put Yoda in as lead when facing heavy debuff teams, occasionally. It can help. Being able to farm Aayla would be great. Looking forward to being able to work on IGD @ 77!
IGD is the man. He was my first full bronzium pull! Gotten lucky with a 32 shard pull, plus several other singles. Other than that he's a slow grind, but worth it. The counters he gives Jedis are all beneficial as an attack, but also grants foresight to Yoda, heals Ahsoka, chance to add and subtract TM for QGJ, etc. Add to that he grants defense up with a hard hitting special, oh, and he's **** near 28k health plus protection.
Old Ben needs the taunt.
Might actually make his special be available.
– Yoda
Its not fixed
– Yoda
MAce needs an AOE attack
Old Ben a Taunt
And FIX ANAKIN!!!!!!!!!
– Yoda
What's not fixed? If you're referring to Old Ben it's definitely fixed. I've been using him as leader for a little over a week now, so pre-patch and post-patch and there's a huge difference. Pre-patch I could get top-5 pretty easily but would drop into the teens and even 20's overnight. Now I stay top-10 and last night I only dropped from 1 to 2. I've noticed a bit of dodges with him as lead now and I have a couple toons with foresight which makes his leader that much better. If the AI knew how to play Yoda my team would be even better. LOL What level is your Old Ben's leader ability at?
