What does that have to do with it going away the first time someone with a dispel pops him? Just buff block Baze and you're fine.

Because you pop it and attack baze and his counter into STH feeds your whole team TM until you kill him, then it’s a 4 on 5.

If you're having trouble with beating Baze when you can load TM on a whole team, you have bigger problems than trying to get a 4 on 5 situation going. Just throw a buff block on the dude and go about your day.

I looked at my Phoenix team, and holy poo poo their mods sucked. Not that I think thats going to help me complete the Thrawn event, it should help. I've also switched out Sidious for Thrawn in my arena team and honestly, I don't think there's any real decrease in their effectiveness.

They have ok mods but nothing spectacular. Speed arrow on all and a decent speed set on DT.
Only wave 2 should pose any kind of trouble. Kill ColdHan first, then Leia. Time your death mark so it doesn't get immediately dispelled.

I have been struggling to stay under 500 rank in arena for a while now - basically have just been running Pheonix, and now that virtually every other team is EP lead, I can't really compete. Do I have anything in my box that I could cobble together something a bit more robust?

How close are you to a zeta? Looks like you have a good start on an EP team yourself with ep, DV, thrawn, TFP. For a 5th Boba would probably work until you get GMT up. Just need a zeta on the ep lead

Palpatine leader ability, I'd save up mats and zeta it asap, then put your best speed mods on DV. Ideally you want your DV to go first every round. Should set you up well for squad arena

You can even try that now without the ep zeta. The zeta is what makes the ezpz turn meter train work, but phoenix is pretty bad in squad arena at the moment so it might be better anyways

You might also try Wiggs, Lando, Old Ben, and Thrawn. That should do some work on EZPZ teams that don't have a tank with pre-taunt.

EP DV Thrawn TFP and Boba is a good mid game team though and was what I ran all through the Maul/CLS metas to decent results. Lots of ability blocks and stuns to control the other team.

EP team doesnt really need a tank. If your DV goes first and everyone else has even semi decent speed mods you can get through entire matches without the other team making a single attack. Though that was with GMT that has turn meter reduction. I mean stormtrooper might be useful instead of boba. Im really not a fan of non empire/sith units for EP teams since the whole point is to keep the turn meter train going

You need a tank if you haven't gotten the 2nd zeta.

So at what point are sion and nihilus ready for arena? Also who do you want to be fastest? In my old setup I wanted DV to be fastest so the force choke + blade would give everyone else turn meter, but going against other ep teams with sion/nihilus that would just give their nihilus a bunch of tm when force choke hits their sion

Both are arena ready at G11 3*, they will die faster and Sion is obviously better for tanking at higher star count and g12, but they do work even at low star ranges due to their op abilities. Realistically you just need sion to survive long enough to tank some hits for DN and to give TM to DN by tanking said heads.

If you’re using Thrawn you always want Thrawn to be fastest because he’s naturally speedy and will make whoever you want fastest.

My sion and nihilus are only G10, but this plague nest team is real bad on defense even if it is amazing on offense, so I'm thinking about going back to ep team. Switching an entire teams worth of mods is so annoying I might just wait for the new system that lets us save sets though

I am not sure who to make as a 5th for a Resistance team. I have Rey, BB8, Poe and Finn. Vet Han and Chewie don't have resistance keyword, so either I do resistance trooper or pilot, or Rose or Holdo.

There are two solid resistance teams foundations:
Jtr, r2, bb8, srey
Finn, poe, rp, holdo

You can send RT with either team (he uses his special w jtr, his basic w finn unless he needs to dispel), and the final spot could be rose, but it's probably better to send a different toon like GK for either or another droid with bb8.

If you dont have enough for both teams, r2 is the first one to poach for finn, and holdo works well w jtr.

JTR core is JTR/R2/bb8
Zfinn core is Finn/Poe/RT/RP

The floaters are scav, holdo, rose, with scav and holdo being best paired with JTR and that kinda just leaves rose, I guess with zfinn.

But also... tons of poo poo works with JTR that isn't resistance.
