Hey, friends! I know Bistan got a lot of flack for being in-game but only being on-screen for a few moments.. but I have a question about him.
I'm sure he has his pros in both raids, but I'd actually like to know how he does in Arena. Currently I'm running Wiggs Chaze and a rotating 5th (B2, EP, or Shore depending on my opponent) but I managed to promote Jyn in the last tourney and wanted to make use of her and Cassian.
So! Obviously moving Wiggs out of my squad means a lot less raw damage, but I'm considering Jyn (L) - Cassian - Chaze - Bistan. I figure the exposes from Bistan's basic as well as Cassian's abilities will make up in some regards for losing Wiggs, especially since I'll have one Zeta ready soon enough.
Would this team do well in arena? Are there any AI issues I should know about? Or should I stick with Wiggs Chaze and build some other toons? I'm in a young shard where most of us are just hitting or passing level 80.
Thanks ahead of time!!

There's a couple of guys on my shard with Bistan in Arena, IIRC the two times I've fought him he used Frenzy first
He's OK imho, his TMR special is useful but not as useful as toons that TMR on their basics
Its not random if you do the math and set it up correct. As an ex short time droid user its easy to set up. Search forum for turn order
TFP is ofcourse an issue so maybe baze is a must have to help vs him.
B2 is always an issue, i believe only lots of luck and good rng helps here
Boba has 2 more base speed but AA lead should cover that.
I dont know how bobas leader ability works with speed gain but i cant see him being faster then bistan. Anyone an idea?
Oh nice, i didnt consider that! I have used ackbar for so long that i do not see any rebel team without him. And keep in mind that your opponents fight you in arena and AI controls your squad. I dont know if the AI is Intelligent enough to do exactly what you described.
Get out. Haha.
Though I suppose we're safe for a little while longer, given zetas require level 82-84 depending on the character.

Definitely have a ways to go, but i just mean that I'll be able to farm them from challenges (which I can't do on my main.. i never invested in ships there lol). Can't wait for Omegas, either way haha!
His ship is the best ship of the game
Bistan's ship
.........explain
Bistan's U-Wing piloted with SPF & Bistan.
EDIT: *click* **** it...
My opening usually goes something like this: Bistan frenzy (Ackbar lead causes Ackbar or SRP to attack). SRP taunts and aoe hit, Bistan then uses special for TM reduction, QuiGon uses his assist attack, Bistan uses regular attack, Ackbar uses tactical genius w/ Bistan or SRP assist, opponent's glass canon is usually dead by now, Luminara then uses her special on whichever opponent's special I want to block and then takes another turn with tactical genius.
8 shots before my opponent gets one is awesome, and once I get Bistan to level 56 and upgrade his frenzy it will be 9 shots
Wedge(L)
Biggs
Chaze
Bistan
Been using them in t5 raid to get 1.5 mill saber tosses 500k executions. Rancor is always at 13-15 turns b4 dead.
Bistans frenzy is what makes him valuable under zeta vader lead...4 possible dots from bistan, 2 dots from boba, 2 dots from gamorean guard, 3 dots from vader. 11 dots from all...of course to fully utilize frenzy you need to use specials...but almost everthing you do stacks dots or uses them to amp dmg. The rest expose or take tm.
I do not belive t7 rancor tenacity will affect this since both jyn and bistan tm steal potency will build up to 100% and if i have 13-15 turns on t5 then it should still be valid. Should.
I guess I'll do my thinking on including him in arena. I've got some time to consider it.
Apologies, I was responding to the title of the thread, referring to the rat in the movie that we're just gonna call Bistan.
But yes, unfortunately his ship is good ('unfortunately' because that means one needs to farm Bistan's and SRP's shards and gear).
Why is it the best ship?
