Nothing to write home about. I zeta'd Veers, but my Imp Troopers are weak, so I'm gonna have to beef them up now to justify the zeta haha

Other super good zetas you are missing despite having the toons at a viable level to consider them:
Palpatine's lead
Thrawn's unique
BB8 roll with punches
Kylo unmasked's lead

Just a caveat, that list was specific to Rand Eliptic and who he has starred & geared. While those are all great zetas, there may be even berter options for you depending on your roster.

Yea, once I've put the last zeta on CLS, and then put one on Bastila, KRU will be the next one.

If I were you I'd jump straight to Bastila's zeta, CLS lead (I assume that's the last one) is OK but zBastila turns jedi teams from laughably poor to a hard counter to sith teams especially ezpz teams and is far more of a team changer than your two higher priorities.

But I've not seen your roster so *'s and gear of relevant teams does come into play.

Someone else might disagree but of the three you list it was Bastila's gave the biggest jump in performance for me. Used to be the only Jedi who got any use was General Kenobi, now I have a team for TW that is guaranteed to murder palpatine Leads.

Then they released revan and welp!

I was gonna post the same thing. zzzCLS seemed cool when he first came out but any more ibat is the only one that is still truely top tier. With zetas being the extremely limited resource that they are, and with the prominence of tb/tw game modes, the best approach generally is to focus on team building zetas & those like ibat, number crunch, and ebb & flow that take top tier toons and transform them.

Both of his uniques are good, but only IBATs is required.

GMY is the must have with her. Past him, you want 1 more attacker--Ezra, JKA, Aayla, random Jedi in that order. Then Hermit Yoda and a tank or 2 tanks (GK and Old Ben) if you don't have HY. GK is the better general purpose tank, OB is the better anti-Sith tank. Ashoka might be worth it if you're running JKA.

75% of your damage is going to come from GMY taking as many turns as possible. Ezra is so good here because he does massive one hit damage with flourish (for Nest) and feeds assists/TM to GMY.

Is a Bastila Jedi team seriously hampered without Hermit Yoda? I'm so constantly starved for gear I just have a hard time justifying spending rare currency on him (or the Wampa) rather than gear. I have HY at about 65/145.

Along those lines, is Hermit Yoda just as effective at 5* as he is at 7*? I guess I can suck it up and get him to 5 if he's really that great.

He helps a lot, but you can skip him for another jedi, probably.

Bastilla, GMY, Ezra, GK, OB would probably work fine.

This is generally true until you unlock Revan. She counters Nest in that situation with her potency bonus to Jedi.

okay after a day or two back i realized i have zero chance of ever breaking t1000 in pvp again and made a new account, i need friends who can carry me through stuff i will post my new id code later.

also god waiting for the exp to get my next four and a half levels and unlock galactic war is killing me. i doubt i can finish it immediately but not being able to farm the other two phoenix members is bothering me. i did get 8 pieces of the one in arena points so thats fun. the droid, jedi from cantina and the leader from cantina is a decent enough start for current content for the most part.

aaaaa why do levels take so long :I

Not to keep arguing about it, but I disagree wholeheartedly. I'm running all 3 and I fell to 6th since yesterday. This is with HT at 5* and xb/ig at 4*.

e: I will grant that the trio didnt become viable until I g12ed IG88. Once that ship is tough enough to withstand an opening volley from vader/matt, he just heals to full every round.

Yeah, arena is the best way to get crystals, and you need crystals to refresh your energy to help farm. Also, gear is the most important thing for powering up your characters, so focus on that. Is that arena team listed, with Hera as your leader, who you're actually using? I assume not, since she has no gear.

Farm up Phoenix (Hera leader, Ezra, Kanan, Chopper, and Zeb is the best core to start with) because they're a really good starter team that is still useful in end game. They're Rebels, so you can use them in the Palpatine fight, and you need them for the Thrawn event, AND they should help you get higher up in arena. And make sure Hera is your leader, because then all the Phoenix squad shares each other's uniques, which is a huge advantage. I don't remember where you get all of them, but Zeb you can get from Galactic War store, so focus on him there.

I just sent you an ally invite. You can borrow my end game characters for battles if you're having trouble on one.
