What's a solid jedi team yall use?

There's a dude on my shard who runs ZGJ (L), Ezra, GK, Yoda, and R2 and can take #1 no problem from multiple chaze squads.

Here's a more detailed breakdown on this squad if you're curious:

zQGJ, zYoda, zR2D2, Ezra, G. Kenobi

Anakin is an alternate for Ezra, but I think Ezra is the current meta dmg dealer for Jedi... also easier to get than Anakin, but probably harder to gear.

Kanan is probably a good alternate for Kenobi, but Kenobi is OP as gently caress, so your squad will suffer until you get GK in there. Alternatively, you could skip the tank and use zBarris to help make your team a little harder to kill, since crits will heal them and she passively dispels.

Would you prioritize him over Chaze? Because that's my current project and they have insane gear requirements

Short answer: maybe.

Long Answer: depends what else you've got going for you, but basically the current meta seems to be some arrangement of Rex/Nihilus/GK/Thrawn. Chaze is still solid as gently caress but teams don't NEED them to succeed anymore.

edit:

That being said... GK's gear requirement is probably about the same as Chaze for one character :(

I mean, by the time you unlock GW, it's assumed you'd have 5*+ characters, so PS isn't gonna be great in GW until you're in the G7-8 range (when you unlock protection) and get some stars on'em.

GW unlocks almost immediately when you start the game though. Level 8 or so? I don't think i had anyone at 4* even, much less at 5*.

The real meta is actually just Nihlius/GK/Thrawn tbqh - there are more configurations than the rex led one. (Even more so, if you distill it, the meta is Thrawn to disable a tank, DN to kill things, and as many tanks or cleansers or other kinds of protection as you can pile on to hide Nihlius from CC and get your annihilate off first. Do that and you win. GK just happens to be the best tank in the game, and Rex is a cheatcode for making your whole team operate at the speed of Thrawn.)

For what's it's worth, I geared Chaze before GK and regretted it. A lot of top meta teams now don't use Chaze at all, but GK is ubiquitous.

GK fits anywhere.

You can do Rex/GK/DN/Zylo +1 and it would be pretty boss. You got R2?

As much as Chaze may not be top 10 meta, I think Chaze will get me to consistently break into the top 100 on my shard. My Wiggs/ 6* R2 / ZKylo / STH has me hovering around the 100 mark. zKylo really needs a speed arrow to shine, I think, but almost two weeks in of devoting my cantina energy to mods and I haven't gotten a one.

Oh, most definitely.

The goal isn't top 10, it's top 50 then 20. Top 10 is cherry as gently caress and dominated by P2Win players with god mods or those who lucked out on F2P shard partners.

It works fine, but the buffs aren't worth losing a squad member for. Especially when they get dispelled.

I hate having to waste time and crystals gearing up a lovely character to get a good one. At least whiny, poorly dressed Luke, is heading to 5 stars.

GK is actually quite important, he's not just any tank. With his retribution buff and his assist call, he can get Nihilus to use his basic attack twice, refreshing drain force. If things run perfect, he might be able to annihilate on his third turn.

I at least got the chance to see the meta switch before I got too invested in Luke. RIP Phasma/Rey/GS/QGJ/RG squad. I did have to 7* Luke for the Emp event, though, so at least I didn't waste that time.

There's no way that will be the case. Just look at Fulcrum, like you said, but also Han, Palpatine, and a number of other cases where a new versions of old characters were introduced.

I mean, it would be a funny way to reward those of us who actually leveled and geared up that rear end in a top hat, but no way.

You should probably just hold on to the mats until we know one way or the other to avoid this sort of crushing disappointment.

It's not like there's a cooldown on leveling up characters.
