Hey everyone, kinda long post, so please stick with me and any helpful advice would be welcomed. Trying to get some advice for my arena team. I currently run the following team:
EP (L) g10 (170 speed)
Vader g10 (151 speed)
TFP g10 (228 speed)
RG g9 (136 speed)
Boba g10 (184 speed)
Highest ranking in arena I ever obtained was 69, but there are days where I will drop from the 70-80 range all the way down to the 150s. My goal is to be consistently in the top 50 in arena.
I have some ok mods. Still trying to make my toons faster.. But how should I go from here? I can either go full empire, where I gear, level and mod Deathtrooper and/or Krennic and add them/farm them when available F2P. OR I can start gearing and leveling my Nihlius and 5* maul, zeta him, then run a team of Zeta Maul, EP, DN, Vader and zeta kylo (ideally). OR I can hope that the meta coming in the fall/winter will be resistance or first order and just go all out on those teams. What do you think will make me most competitive?
THANKS FOR THE HELP! YOU ALL ROCK!
P.S. I have Zader, used mostly for raids. I have 20 zetas in my pocket right now, where I was thinking of zetaing g9, almost g10 kylo, or I can wait to use it for the right toon for my arena squad. Also currently working on GK, which will be thrusted into my arena team immediately once I have him (in 2 months haha).

Not sure who DT would replace though. With Zrennic lead I was able to drop Vader and never ran Boba to begin with. But Boba is a really good with that AoE Ability Block, and can dispel buffs with his execute. Boba would be the one to replace, but I'm just not seeing DT as good enough to replace Boba in that composition.
And for sure you need much faster mods. I would advise to keep ~5m credits on hand at all times and try to check your mod shipments each of the four natural refeshes every day if possible.
But ,my bracket is different than yours I'm sure.
The advantage is that zaul will give you a speed boost, stealth your toons, give them crit immunity and evasion as well as advantage... so speed is less of s determining factor and rng takes a bigger role so you can beat stronger and faster teams.
I have been running a z maul team for 2 months and been doing great in arena since then.

(zeta or not) Jyn lead Chaze Wiggs
Chirrut applies tenacity up first (speed mods)
allow Boba/TFP to AoE and fail
Jyn steals tm from EP
Jyn gives Chirrut advantage from her rebel counterattack
Chirrut and Baze kill Boba
Boba revives
wiggs 1-shots boba
team then picks off TFP, vader and EP, immune to debuffs. Owing to Chirrut's speed, the characters are always under tenacity up.
Only way to fight such tenacity up teams would be to allow TFP to go before Chirrut, which is quite easy with decent mods.
Personally, key is speed primaries/secondaries.
With a zaul team you can evade attacks often and go into stealth with crit immunity when crit so it buys you loads of time and speed, although still important, becomes less of a deciding factor
@DatBoi I would love to do shoretrooper.... but I still don't have him and haven't beat 9b. Once I do beat it, you bet I'm farming him!
@sjkerhfgdjhd and @Startomsto I will start working DN and maul. My ideal team would be zaul, EP, DN, zylo and GK. Hope for that someday and I hope I don't miss a meta working towards that. And I usually stay around 5 mil credits... but I just bought a mod for 3.7 mil haha
@Woodroward I will play with it! Can't hurt to mix it up. I have a g10 sidious
Thanks for the advice everyone, I will try some of these tips and will listen to others as well!
Right on. Yeah I saw you had a nicely geared Sidious, and I would totally play him over a less geared Red Guard myself. The Omegas on his basic (ignore defense) and AoE (adds a DoT and expose) are pretty beasty though, I would recommend those ASAP if you do use him.
Plus he is pretty quick.
I am farming first order and resistance now as i know they ll get more love closer to december... but there will be several metas by then i guess... i hope my sith keep me in top 10 untill then and that is also why i am gearing them all so i get max versatility from them
