Fister is pretty good, but there's no way to farm him and at 3 stars he's gonna run out of steam pretty quickly.

I got some free pseudo money from work that I used to redeem some itunes gift cards. After buying some Chromium packs, I now have a 3 star Kit Fisto, and I think I should work him into my arena lineup, need advice.

as of now:

3-star JC
3-star Lumi
4-star Chewie
3-star Luke
3-star Poe

Sorry for making GBS threads up the thread. I won't drag it out further.

I definitely wouldn't get rid of Luke for Kit. You'll kick yourself once your Sid is able to take over your team leadership. Not to mention that he's going to whiff like crazy against the army of Sidiouses that you're going to be up against when you get into the 50's.

Like others have said, Kit is good but almost impossible for us non-whales to level up to 7. I still believe that they will rotate characters offered in Cantina/GW/Arena, so we can get Kit shards sometime, just not now.

Overall, though, out of those mentioned on your team, you'll want to replace Chewie first because you won't need two taunt (and Poe is better). JC/Lumi/Luke/Poe are all top notch characters and well worth leveling to 7 stars. You just need another DPS on that team.

I realize it is pretty iconic, but it seems odd how shafted Jedi are.

GW chat: Force Quit maybe the best Jedi power, but it is definitely an exploit. On the other hand, I think retreating is pretty awesome since it encourages you to have a bigger bench and be flexible in your tactics. Maybe they could add a kind of timer that ensures you get at least a full round of combat on both sides before you are allowed to retreat.

I should have Sidious in a few days, so that pretty well rounds out the team.

I got a Darth Maul today as well, but he's going to run into the same problem as Kit. I'm going to level him anyway, because my dark side stable is loving ABYSMAL.

It's not the same but I got a 4* kylo Ren with max skills doing 8k low health crits. I like to think of it as "I may be going down but I'm taking one of you fuckers with me". Bonus points for when he heals the next turn. (My team is Sid, Ren, Lum, Barriss, JC so lots of healing and heal prevention)

Ima-Gun Di is the guy I pick as an ally every time he comes up now (level 49), my team fills in all the other roles just fine so I don't need a Barriss or an extra damage dealer usually, what my team does love though is his +Defence for 2 turns while also dealing damage ability which really helps people live through the old 'Every single unit is going to shoot at resistance trooper before your healer gets a turn' garbage when taunt isn't up, as well as doing muuuch more damage than Barriss.

I run massive single target damage rather than 'Expose with Poe and then Jawa' so I don't know how great that move is, but I'd replace one of your tanks with him. If you choose to replace Poe you also then get the Sidious slot from the Jawa, otherwise I'd probably replace Talia

Replace Talia, but not with Ima Gun Di. You want more pure dps to round out your LS team, because it's generally overburdened with tanks and healers. Sidious eats all Jedi teams in pvp, and everyone uses him.

Keep your Poe, Jawa, and JC. Try to keep Chewie just leveled enough that he can reliably tank, but start looking to get rid of him in the mid to late 40's. If you want to add an LS, get either Luke or Resistance Trooper. You're going to end up with 2-4 healers on LS battles, especially if you make JC a priority, so tankiness only matters enough to keep them from being taken out before they can be healed.

Plus, there's a balance update coming after the level cap increase this month. That means the current meta is probably going to be flipped on it's head, so I'd hold off on leveling anyone that isn't already over used from scratch until you know what'll be good then.

I can't recommend Luke enough. I never pulled any attackers from bronzium but at level 45 and only gear level 5 the dude regularly crits for 2k for me on his big stun attack which also does defense down, and his basic attack gives him ATB and causes continuous damage.

If you have anyone who grants attacks Luke can end up with a lot of turns. I end up running a Biggs because Luke and JC have really nice perks on their basic attack.

Right now my light side team is Luke/JC/Poe/Biggs and the last slot I tend to rotate between Plo and Chewie. Chewie is 4* and better geared and Plo doesn't do anything really special but the aoe defense boost is usually better at mitigating damage than Chewie and his 1 turn taunt. Sometimes I toss in Ewok Elder but he's way too hard to farm and has kinda bad stats for just a 2*. I am still a long ways off of Luminara so I don't really know what to do with that last slot until then.

In arena I am running Sid/Luke/JC/Poe/Biggs. I like Talia but she is so intensely stupid on defense. Ideally I'd like to replace Biggs with Resistance Trooper or Leia but I don't have either of them. I could actually replace Biggs with any character who grants a team up attack but he's the best one I have, any more easily farmable or better characters who do the same?

Jedi still have some of the best characters. The top teams on my server run Qui-Gon leader with Old Ben and Lumi. Old Ben gets his debuff off and you're basically hosed after that. Qui-Gon is still ridiculous after the nerf too. He does ridiculous damage damage with his assist ability, has a great leader skill and can remove a buff to give his team offense up. I'd be surprised if he doesn't eat another nerf.

If/when they rotate GW/Arena shipments and some of the more offensive-minded Jedi are easier to get, AND Sid isn't as prevalent, I think Ima-led Jedi teams will pop up, right now though there's not enough good Jedi to take advantage of his Leader abilities, and without that he's a kinda-tanky, lackluster guy who's just there in parties.

I bought the Droid pack a couple weeks ago as a Christmas present to myself and the droids are fun to use together. 86, 88, and HK are all available in shipments, and I use them as my DPS team in GW with either Phasma Sid or Daka. They move quick and can drop a problem guy (sometimes 2 with crits) before retreating and letting my A-team come in and mop up.

I actually pulled an IG-86 from a bronzium pack the other day and thought a droid team looked pretty cool. I was actually thinking about trying to put together a Poggle the Lesser team. He's pretty expensive though so I was afraid of wasting the shipments on him.

I have pulled IG-86, Biggs, and Plo Koon. Plo seemed like he might be decent at first but his special damage is super garbage which makes his aoe do very little damage, and he doesn't stick the debuff on it much. He theoretically is a dispeller but he's a weird character that needs better stats or needs more clones in the game to make his aoe defense buff good. IG-86 is cool. Biggs is cool.

Poggle is ideal for missions/GW but don't bother trying anything like that for Arena, you'll put a big bullseye on yourself. The good thing is Sid's Crit bonus is perfect for the Droids, as is Phasma's extra attacks (she stacks with 86's assist), so you can disguise your team if you DO want to use them in arena.

I actually think Fives looks kind of interesting too and he would more or less be a straight upgrade to Biggs but I can't justify spending the shipments on him when I need Old Daka so much. Once I get her maybe I'll detour and pick him up. It won't slow me down THAT much I guess?

As a heads up, I started on December 20th-ish when this thread had 2 pages and I've just unlocked Daka today. I'm level 49, having done everything each day that I could and using one 100gem cantina energy refill each day.

That's an idea of how long it takes to get Daka. There's no way I'm going to try and get her any more stars, Cantina shipments are garbage compared to GW or Arena.

Daka is amazing. I'll have mine at 6* tomorrow. I think she needs to be 6* or so to really get any use in PvP. Before that her survivability sucks. However her utility is absurd. The heal is mediocre, but the constantly rezzing of people is so strong. He attack stunning up to two people is really powerful when paired with a Phasma leader as well.

Chewie levelled up has been an absolute beast for me, he's about to hit 6* and his damage is really poo poo but he lets everyone else do their job. I don't have Poe so he's my tank, and it lets me still shred 5-attacker teams in the arena when my squishies aren't dead.

I run resistance trooper in the slot that Luke would fit in, and I like trooper more from how often he attacks and incredible amounts of exposes easily makes up for the damage per hit being a tad lower. He's loving hard to grind though, hopefully the new patch fixes that, but he's still 20/25 2* because my luck with hard mode shards is garbage.
