The only full characters that opened were ones I had already 7-starred. Some more Veers shards, plenty of Snowtroops shards, misc. Jawa, Talia, Dooku, etc. I was hoping for much better in that department.

Just sub 9k shard shop currency though so there's that.

The Scion TC's revolutionary interior design features best in class sound system and enough leg room to dance in your seat while you blast your beats.

Also yes, obviously, Sion's zeta is pretty much geared for Arena where it is a constant pain in the rear end for the opposing team, especially those with AOE abilities.

Yes, if that’s your team, then you absolutely need Sion’s zeta. The two main metas right now are the team you just described with a Sion zeta, and some JTR team.

Zeta Sion, and you can advance in arena, even if he’s only 4 Star. It made all the difference for my team.

How should I use Wampa? I almost have it 7* and pretty well geared/modded and it seems to own hard, like one shotting most rebels. I don't see anyone using it in arena though so I'm curious what kind of team it fits into and what modes to use it in.

This is what I see on my shard too. The three main squads occupying the top 50 are EzPz --------------------> JTR ----->Rex/Wampa/GK/Thrawn/Nihlus grab bags.

Has anyone played around with GMY post-rework? Is his supporting cast still too weak for arena?

He falls pretty shittily still, but one of the whales on my shard runs GMY jedi in arena now

he says it's fun, and he can take first pretty regularly so w/e.

wampa is good in rex teams, palp teams, Vader teams, and traya teams.

in a rex team he is your win condition insurance primary damage source. generally you're moving to get dn to annihilate. if something happens you want wampa protected because he can womp opposing dn or anybody. very good to 1 shot enemy r2d2s and cls\rhan. if enemy let's wampa get out of hand he will run away with it. in ep\traya teams wampa is rebel insurance. you'd probably see wampa in place of Vader in an ep team or sion

The EP Meta:
EP, DN, DS, Traya, SiT/Thrawn/Nest
EP, DN, DS, DV/GK, Thrawn/SiT/Tarkin/ShT/Nest

The Rey Meta:
JTR, BB8. R2, GK/Scav/Chopper/Nest/CLS/rHan/IPD/RT (pick 2)

The Rexy Thang:
Rex, DN/DS/Wampa/Nest/CLS/rHan/EP/MT/GK (pick 4)

The Traya Meta:
Traya, DN, DS, SiT/Nest/EP/MT/Wampa/SithA (pick 2)

acronyms:
EP = Emperor Palpatine
DN = Darth Nihilus
DS = Darth Sion
SiT = Sith Trooper
DV = Darth Vader
GK = General Kenobi
ShT = Shore Trooper
JTR = Jedi Training Rey
CLS = Commander Luke Skywalker
IPD = Imperial Probe Droid
RT = Resistance Trooper
MT = Mother Talzin

disclaimer:

This is top-end arena, here folks. These targets aren't realistic for starting players. EP squads are about the easiest to slap together for top-end meta and are a good starting target. Bridges to the EP meta are classic poo poo like Phoenix Squad, Wiggs, Nightsisters, etc.

You'll notice a lot of the same characters repeat. This is not an accident. Those toons have amazing kits and are mainstays of the arena meta. They're all likely to persist into the next meta or come back around in a future meta, so just get'em and max'em. Also, Mal's gonna read this and be "well akshually" and when he does I want everyone to dunk on his post.

Not Mal but i’ll Say that Sith Trooper, While very good under Traya, probably should be part of that /group with Thrawn/Nest and also throw in Wampa and Sith Assassin as common 4/5’s there.

I know it's not "meta" but I run EP/Vader/Thrawn/DT/ShT and can get into the top 20 easily as a fully f2p player who is still working on Sion, although at the rate his shards drop I'll have Traya before he's 5*.

Yeah, EZPZ with 4 imperials/sith is fine, but I'm trying to provide information on what is "the meta" which is pretty well set rn.

Captain's suggestions are cool and good too. Traya's meta isn't set in stone yet.

This is helpful thanks! I've just hit level 85 so I'm kinda looking at what to build towards next.

I've got a solid EP, DV, Tarkin, Thrawn group so far but I'm not sure what to put in to round it off. I've got a stormtrooper in there at the moment but I could go for a TFP,Maul or a GK to fill it in. Any specific suggestions for someone who doesnt have a DS, DN or Traya any time soon?

Id say tfp if you have a decent speedy crit mod set, or maul if you don't have the crit part. Tfp is great for an early ability block on their darth Vader, buff immunity can be useful, and with 5 debuffed enemies and a crit set mine can crit an EP for 30k

TFP/stormie is okay for now, shore would be better.

You should be able to 3* the nihilus node with EP, so just pursue that, refresh it one/day, nihilus is usable from 3*, just gear him to 11.

yeah, nihilus' kit is about control and protection scales off gear, not stars. So just load him up with prot primaries and he'll hold fine.

I used a 4* sion from 4-7*, he's also fine at G11, low stars.
