Heed my words and become a master of the Heart (of Thorns).
What is babbys first hAAT team? It is about time i get some of those up and running. Looking at morningstar's list i can't fill a single one of those lineups, though i have 3/4 geared characters for many of them. (That list looks a bit old though)
I don't see any CLS in that list, is he not used for hAAT? My CLS team is getting quite strong so ill get him as soon as his event appears again.
Not really in a position to use a zeta for a hAAT only hero yet.

CLS can solo p1 haat. Only hit the boss and stay in attack mode as often as possible, retreat around 4 turns to enrage (you can fail several times and still make it out usually) and repeat. He can also do decent dmg w other rebels in p2 or p4 and he's part of both of the weird mega comps out there.

That list is super out of date.


CLS running solo can do about 500k-2m (gear/mods/RNG) in P1 and retreat and do it again and again. I also use in in P4 with Wiggs, Leia, and Ezra which is a very strong team. Leia is replaceable by raid Han or R2 but you lose a ton of damage and need to micromanage buffs much more closely.

And of course CLS figures into the various superteams that clear 50-75% of the whole raid; CLS, BB8, Thrawn or R2 +2. (Ackbar lead and Assaj, Ackbar lead and Han, Rey lead and R2, Rey lead and T2, CLS lead, Han and Both Thrawn and R2... there’s a dozen variations, but you can see what they all have in common.)

Babbys first top tier HAAT team is probably zFinn Resistance with Poe and rTrooper; the other two slots shuffle depending on what phase you want to run them in (Pilot and BB8 are ideal in P2/4, BB8 and R2 in P3, Can use Rey as well, any combination of those three will be fine). All you need is Poe above 232 speed and G8+ to put up many millions of damage.

Nice, just unlocked JRey. Should have her to a decent gear by tomorrow.

My arena Rogue squad has been underperforming. I'm looking to realign around Resistance -- if I were to run zFinn.g11 (L), JRey, and zzR2.g12, what are my best options for the other two pieces?

Is Finn already zetaed? Because JRey will likely provide more mileage because she can be run with more varied resistance compositions. A team I'm thinking about right now is zJrey, zBB8, R2, Pilot, Rey. If my admittedly tired observation during P4 tank last night is anything to go by, each crit on Rey's special multi strike places and pops an expose with Jrey lead. Which had my poo poo gear Jrey, BB8, Finn, Rey, Barris team doing tons of damage.

Drop Finn, add BB8, then two tanks. (Or a tank and a heavy hitter like Scav or CLS)

She's not as versatile as CLS by a wide margin. I think once you quad zeta her and BB8, there's some loving annoying sticking factor in arena, but that's 80 fuckin' zeta mats.

She basically does what zFinn does but with more versatility in resistance picks. You're not pidgeonholed into having to have Finn, Poe, and RT to make it work, and that lets you run old Rey, which is some gross damage since yes, she can proc chain exposes on her multiattack. I'd say she makes Resistance even better for raids. I can't comment on arena until I get some zetas in there, which I'm pretty sure Discord would riot and I'd get kicked from QGJ if I didn't zeta my Nightsisters first.

Boba, Dengar, Zam, Instagram 88 +1

The +1 is either Greedo or Cad Bane.

Greedo is technically the more synergistic Choice as he provides lots of detonators for Zam to set off which rockers lotsnof TM under Boba lead BUUUUUUUT...

Greedo might be the single worst gear grind in the whole game. Certainly the worst when compared to the (lack of) power on the character receiving it.

So, there’s Cad Bane. His gear is less awful than Greedos, and he actually brings some nice tools including a stun that can be landed through foresight.

Actually his leader zeta owns too.

It might even be the better of his two Zetas, but you do need some supporting pieces to get the most out of it. (Notably, Stormtrooper and Shoretrooper)

I ended up shuffling mods around and buying a few gear pieces. Once I figured out to hammer R2-D2 first I beat it well only losing RG. I figured there was no way I was gonna beat it at first cause I was getting wiped out with Vader leader until I switched to EP.

It’s 2% on buff and debuff gain and buff and debuff loss. So 4% per instance. Pair with AoE buff machines like Storm and Shore in the current debuff heavy meta environment and it adds up real fast. Also Maneuver owns.

It’s a Real Good Zeta.

Sure, NOW you guys mention this stuff. For a while, everyone's all, "Ebb and Flow is where it's at!" I zeta that literally yesterday, suddenly everyone's all, "His leader zeta, though..."

Kidding, farming zetas doesn't actually take too long, and since I also just got him to gear 12 this morning, I'd say I'm rather invested in him, so no reason not to double zeta him.

edit: So who should I build up to be on a team with him? My Empire team is currently Zader, zThrawn, Tarkin, TFP, and Palp. Stormtrooper and Shoretrooper? I take it keep Tarkin, and TFP, lose Zader and Palp?

And Shoretrooper is only farmable from a level 9 hard node on Light Side that I haven't beaten yet, so...that's probably not happening for a while.

edit2: Nvm, asked and answered in Discord.
