The Ultimate defensive squad
So I've been trying many different comps to achieve a defensive team that can at least hold every other attack. Tried many combinations yet still seems like whenever I'm attacked something is missing in my team
My current top roster:
I appreciate your suggestions..

I call this the "Nothing But Bad Choices" team. Cause, there is no one you really want to attack first.
And that's my main squad:
I don't have Fun Sac
Maybe phasma lead, Rey, leia, fives and RG
Yeah but at least some teams can win on defense every now and then
I don't know if that group would actually defeat anyone, but it would be a pain in the **** to kill. If I saw that group I would probably wouldn't even try to fight it because it looks like too much work.
Evasion lead + 2 best DPS + 2 best taunt tanks.
Eh... Yeah, it's a pain, but anyone running close to whatever gear level you run that team as has a good shot.

Different approach, but I feel like on defense, the assists + counterattacks + stuns always seem to proc at the perfect times lol.
Maybe give that a go just for fun?
Aye
Daka. I attack Daka first if I see this.
I use Vader and 88 to dish out some serious AOE. Eventually Lando could be added. Stealth isn't as effective against that kind of team.
This is a sort of brainstorming, so be patient, no final solution here and of course feel free to add of your own or to correct me.
So.. What are most common things used by now:
Focus firing
Dispel
Outspeeding
TMM
Dodge
Taunting
Now we've to work something about deny the most of that stuff. My guess is that the best defense, since AI will play it for you, lies in RNG and disrupting typical attack patterns as much as you can, to achieve it i'd say that countering focus firing would be my top priority.
In my opinion Teebo and old Ben are the two leaders that better give you a little bit of both. They have specific counters, like b2 and ventress, or fast stunners but those are not widely used in arena.
Second thing you don't want is to allow an attacker to control battlefield, and most people do that by using dispellers and StHan/RG. To me the best counter is b2 and Daka.
Third thing you don't want, as I think that you can't do without at least one major DPS toons, is it being focused down, so i'd take leia for permastealth (I know AI many times doesn't recast stealth soon enough, but Teebo could help with that) or Rey for foresight. Both are fast, hit hard, and have a way to self protect.
So in the end i'd try this:
Teebo L for focus firing disruption, dispel and TM shenanigans
EE to revive/healing if something goes South and debuff cleaning. He has some TMM too if omega on basic
Daka for stun fest (omega on basic) and backup healing/revive
B2 to deny control through dispel and buff immunity
Leia/Rey to deal some damage.
Other options are to sub in Old Ben for Daka and/or, for those who can, sun fac for b2.
The only FTP option to avoid b2/sun fac is RG, even if he does half the stuff the other two can do, he'd still be a good addition to the party!
I didn't consider current bugs that some toons has, hoping for a fix coming soon™
Teebo lead is good, dodge team is good, the rest u figure it out
This is a great defensive team.
