Old Ben > Dooky. Dont even think Dooky should be on the list
Phasma
Daka
Old ben
Fives
Rey
Leia
Sun fac
QGJ
Phasma
ST Han or Count Dooku
Old Daka
No order.
Is he not better?
Can we grade Sun Fac already??
I'd say those are meta right now.
Yoda should be on the list.
Old Ben is the best evasion lead right now. Plus Yoda is terrible on defense.
Make Zader Great Again!
Rey
Leia
QGJ
GS
Fives
Old Ben
RG
Sun Fac
Daka
Aalya
Phasma
"Does not BM first move" is different than "terrible on defense".
Old Ben is FotM. Not a staple.
She is superrior to any other leader in GW (makes the whole run the walk in the park with a single team).
In arena her leadership is stronger than any eva leader, even though most ppl dont see the obvious synergy with RG. With Barris HP boost and protection even Rey cant 1 shoot any hero anymore, and before RG taunt is over Barris passive heals can bring anyone from yellow back to green. Plus her equalization and heal can bring RG from red to full and give everyone def up for 2 turns. This can turn the tide of any battle back on your favour.
Since the protection update I use her as a leader exclusively and I win close to 100% arena battles without loosing a single hero. Usually all end up on green and I hardly ever need to use her heal even.
She should definattely be in top 5 along with Rey, RG, QGJ and GS
I personally prefer dooku over Ben. Why?
Everyone has qgj. I use dooku to keep him locked down. Rather stun, or abilty block, both helps more than old Ben as he has no anti abilities. This lets my RG to lock down someone else with stuns, while rey, qgj, and Leia focus people down. Plus counter is still effective.
What about mind trick? What about it? It's really not that good anymore with protection. You can easily last one round of the mind trick without it doing hardly any harm. Plus when t misses ( as it does with Rey Everytime because of insight ) they get off up, and Rey can almost 1shot anyone with her number 3 skill, with off up, and no neg effects.
So really comes down to liking tm gain over off up gain I guess. While tm gain is better than off up gain, I like dooku because of qgj. If people didn't use qgj, then I more than likely would use old Ben instead, but for now I see dooku more valuable than old ben
I also believe dooku's is better. But Old Ben is really good. Evasion lead in general is top tier right now.
Yeah! Forgot to specify, sorry.
I don't really agree. First, sorry for not specifying, we are talking of arena solely. Second, I belive that a lot of people, including some friends and guild mates tried barris as lead and as you can see in most leaderboards, there is not much barris lead. I don't have her enough level to have her in my arena really. So I am stating what others have told me and what I have seen in the leaderboards. She is great as lead in a defensive team though.
Yoda isn't top 10 anymore in my opinion, Phasma is. I am changing Old Ben for Sun Fac. I will change another one (Probably Phasme as she seems to be the weakest rival) when someone states a better character with arguments and evidence.
Rey/QGJ.
Every other toon on the list is situational in the sense that you need other toons that make them synergize well, but IMHO Rey/QGJ can be plugged into basically any team and make it better.
You have a point, though I want us to have a wider view of good characters, not strictly the best 2.
Also, what about GS? And RG?
I prefer 86 over GS (especially with Omega) since the update and Han can be plugged into just as many builds as RG.
Other I think are worthy of discussion for a top 10 are Poggle/Ahsoka.
I agree with this. Barriss is awesome for GW as was stated, but she hits like a wet noodle and losing that offense in a short arena fight really doesn't work. She's not going to get more than one heal in during an arena fight, and her passive heal, while helpful, isn't enough to turn the tide of most fights. I always target teams she's in as it's basically a 5 on 4 fight, and just leave her for last as she really can't hurt you enough to matter.
I threw her in once for a specific fight where I needed a heal to get past my opponent and forget to take her out again. My team normally is in the top 20 on my server, and I got knocked back to 50 that day, so she's much worse on defense than my normal team too, and obviously others targeted me as a result.
