Might have to switch to a cls/rhan/chewie arena team. My ezpz is getting less and less effective with all the revan and bastila teams.

I'm only seeing CLS/Traya/Revan doing well in the top 50 in my shard, now. There are some other teams that mix in Chewie but I don't think he's a good fit. There are a few zBast teams barely hanging on.

My character focuses right now are Sion, Bastila and Bossk in the regular battles, and Vet Chewie in Cantina, I was curious if any other characters I'm interested in are worth putting resources into

Young Lando, L3, Rose, Krennic, General Kenobi, Qui-Gon and Rebel Officers Leia. Ships the Sith figher and Lando's Falcon.

Most of the Solo dudes are really good across various comps, especially Nest, L3 and Qi'ra. Qi'ra is the only smuggler lead, so there's also that. If you don't already, get a squad of smugglers (not just scoundrels) for the new recurring event. You need them at 6* for the highest tier. Note that RHan, new Chewie and the vets count.

Nice. Nest is super annoying because my fleet has been stuck at 4-e forever. I think my problem is my top ships are too support heavy rather than offensive.

The later ship hard nodes can be a bitch. Some of them need actual specific comps to beat. I had to switch to Tarkin/geos for some of them. I reached Nest's node, but still can't beat it until I work on my geos more.

GK and L3 are both really good. The rest is eh. I like Krennic a lot, but he's not NEEDED for anything.

He was on there becuase my Arena/high power team is Palp, Vader, Tarkin, Thrawn and Nilhius and I don't know if I want to switch anyone out eventually, like put an Empire character in there instead. Death and Shore Troopers is already on the list.

Having sion in there makes nihilus way better, and sion is just better in general. The standard nightmare team is EP, Nihilus, Sion, Sith Trooper, then either vader or thrawn, at least until you get traya

the main need for krennic is dark side territory battles when you need 15 of them to fill platoons

The odd man out there is def Tarkin (for Sion), but if you ever get Traya he can still see use under EP lead (assuming you run something like Trio/SithT +1 like Thrawn or Dooku) in TW D. You can also use Tarkin as a lead for an offensive IPD comp on TW O.

Yea, my long term goal is to move Tarkin to a more Imperial only team. And that's why Sion is being worked on.

I figure a good Jedi team for Bastila to lead is Yoda, GK, QG...anaka, Ashoka or whoever?

The go to bastila team I've seen is bastila/GMY/hermit/GK/+1. First choice seems to be Ezra(z) I personally use QGJ at least untill my ezra is ready.

Can some kind soul please tell me what the hell I should be doing to be ready for hitting 85? I've got phoenix mostly 7*, and have been working on NS as a side project. I am aware my mods are likely complete rear end so will be looking at some kind of tutorial for those soon. Any advice on what I should be farming/ keeping an eye out for would be really appreciated.

The trick is to get wicket to 7* by farming him on his node instead so you can skip tier 1 forever and do tier 2 with your preferred squad for zetas

G8ish with 50+ speed sets is enough for me with Chirpa/Paploo/Logray/EE/Wicket. I used to use Teebo in that 5th slot before I got wicket geared.

Anyone want to help choose my next zetas? I have one ready to go and burning a hole in my phone.

Chewbacca - Loyal Friend (using him in my rebels arena team, but he's only 5 stars)
CLS (arena leader. Already have It Binds All Things... are either of the other two zetas really worth it?)
Finn (would make LSTB easier, but I already have a pretty easy time with them since I'm so light-side heavy)
General Veers (would make DSTB easier, and I need all the help I can get with them.)
Kylo Ren Unmasked (DSTB and TW... I'm short on good TW teams and I hear FO is a great defensive team)
Bastilla (I guess having a kick rear end Jedi team would be cool)

Hon. Mentions:
Vandor Chewbacca (I'm working toward building that really tough Scoundrels team for TW and this zeta is a must for it)
Asajj (My Nightsisters are absolute poo poo, and I don't even have Talzin, but they're my next big project. Probably should wait on this one, right?)
Darth Vader (I hear he's great for HAAT, which I suck at, plus I use his TIE in my ship's arena team)

Edit: forgot one. I have a pretty decent Rogue One team. Do any of the zetas take the team to the next level? Again, it would be nice to have some more effective TW teams.

Of these, what do you think my next 2-3 zetas should be? Thanks!!

Veers is solid and really makes the imperial troopers a good team. It's not even his leader so you can sub in Thrawn or Palp lead and keep veer's zeta going for specific matches.

Of those, do Veers, then Chewie, then either Bastila or KRU, depending on how your Jedi or FO are respectively.

Assuming you aren’t sitting on more than 3 Zetas right now, don’t plan more than 3 Zetas out; in a month and change, priorities will have changed probably.

Heed my words and become a master of the Heart (of Thorns).
My imp troopers aren't all that beefcake either; G12 DT, G11 ShT, G10 zVeers, G10 snow, G9 stark, with mostly leftover mods and they work great.
I can auto the first 3 stages of the ewok event without issue, i can do the IPD node in TB without issue, i can use them to delete any nightsister team in TW, i can use them for a 4-encounter TB battle in every stage of TB.

zVeers is the single most impactful zeta that i often use i'd say (now that zFinn is barely being used any more)

More importantly, it is a FUN zeta. It feels so great to use Veers mass assist and have all your dudes nuke a victim then get to attack again.
So many zetas are so boring. Good and useful sure, but boring. zVeers is good but also a ton of fun. even if it wasn't the most "useful" zeta on your list it would certainly have been one of the best picks regardless, due to how fun it is.
