So, I think I've come up with a new OP P3 HAAT comp, but it's only for the whaliest of the whales, and does require zeta Thrawn.
zVader, zThrawn, Deathtrooper, Krennic, Shoretrooper.
You want everyone as fast as possible, except Thrawn. He can even be left at G8, you just want him super slow. Use Shore's taunt when the big gun gets close to a turn. Fracture the Rocket Trooper with Thrawn as soon as Thrawn gets a turn. Use everyone's aoes to burn down the extra minions.
It's possible this comp will need Tarkin and/or Jyn to keep Rocket trooper from getting a turn, but he'll be taking 50% to remove 25%, plus, anytime an empire unit uses a special, they gain 15 (or 30% TM), and he and Thrawn lose 15% TM.

For future reference: the only thing that really matters to guild leadership is using 600 energy daily. Being low level only means you can't benefit from raid rewards right away.

If you're getting your 600 energy (easy to do if you get the free refreshes), you can come back to QGJ if you want.

I'm running Zader (L), EP, TFP, Shore, and Kylo all at 7*g11.

Should I drop my next zeta on Zylo, or start the long trudge over to a zR2 team? About to activate GK but the rest of my light side characters aren't arena-level.

And don't give me guff about running Empire these days. I'm on a 2015 shard and barely hanging on to the top 100.

Mister Blueberry

Mike, Steve, what the hell
Zylo is never a bad invest, so yes you can go there if you want to. But you should consider switching to something else if you don't have Thrawn to be honest... R2 is not difficult to gear, but if you don't have resistance or jedi to back him up, it's not really great

I'm in a December 2015 shard and I still use zylo in my arena team, can net top 10 if I'm around at payout he is well worth investing in (rex, chaze, DN, zylo). I'm probably going to go for r2 next he'll be zeta #10, its great being in a ship arena team where everyone is in a different timezone than you net the top spot nearly every day.

I just unlocked Thrawn with a 5*, g6, 1 and 2 pip mod Phoenix team [Hera(L), Kanan, Ezra, Zeb, Chopper.] I just made sure that there was protection values on the mods so all the different protection up abilities could be used. I was kind of expecting the big gently caress you on the 5* challenge, but thankfully CG didn't do that. Yay Thrawn, I suppose.

VVV In retrospect, they're not but I thought that CG would make that node more difficult. Also, I have lots of cheapy bin mods lying around.

I went over some basic Thrawn fight tips in discord that should probably go here too.

quote:

Use Zeb's special to dispel the Deathtrooper's potency buff.
Ezra should usually call Kanan to assist because it feeds him protection.
Hera should always call Zeb because he gets bonus potency and applies daze on basic. When Zeb hits someone with daze stagger or expose, he stuns them. (Ezra should call Zeb when Kanan is fractured or if it's a chance to stun Thrawn before his turn.
If all of heras stuff is on CD use her basic on Thrawn to expose him to set up a stun from Zeb.
Zeb should roam between targets just stunning whoever he can.
Have chopper taunt when kanan's is down to take some pressure off.
Use Ezra's 'dispel' on every CD even if no one has a buff t does a ton of damage and gives him a bunch of ™ back.
Use backup plan on Kanan because he will die.

Kill order is Deathtrooper taunter healers Thrawn.

You should honestly be able to clear the three waves using almost nothing but basics. (Maybe Hera/Zeb/Ezra specials for more damage) and come out with basically full protection.
They all hit like wet noodles for a reason. You can't auto but if you target select smartly it's real easy.
(Where by smartly: Hera attacks high hp, Zeb hits rebuffed people to stun them, Ezra tries to kill people, Kanan just tries to spread offense down as much as possible.)

Max Kanan's unique. Then max all the others. Shared uniques own.

Mod priority is Potency for Hera and Zeb, speed for chop and Ezra, prot/health for Kanan. Slow Kanan is great, but adds RNG because you'll need him at high TM entering the last round or you could be hosed.

Ugh, I need 5 more Sabine shards to 5 star her, and be able to try to get Thrawn on the last day of the event. But I'm out of crystals for refreshing the hard battle that grants them, and nothing else is offering them at the moment. I'm standing by with enough currency in both the Guild store and Fleet store, in case they show up in either spot. But c'mon game, I'm almost there!

Chopper has been a far slower grind for me, considering I can only get them from Cantina battle currency, and even using all my cantina energy every day, and dropping 400 currency on him, I'm no where near close enough.

With Sabine, I had the hard battle, and Guild store every once in a while.

Yeah, I'm refreshing 2+ times/day.

That would cost way more crystals than I have, 200 per day, when I'm already using my regular energy refresh of 50 crystals as many times as they allow. Maybe I should have stopped using that when gearing up the Phoenix squad and used the crystals on cantina energy refreshes to get Chopper instead. But alas, too late for that.

Last call, I'm abandoning my alt. If you're low level and haven't spend money on this game, this is a pretty decent option. I came out 5 chopper shards short of getting Thrawn, so that sucks, but on the plus side, Phoenix squad is almost ready to compete in arena.

This is a pretty competitive arena shard, so I've only been able to maintain top 100, sometimes reaching into top 50, but I think that with a really good Phoenix squad (G8), you could start to push in further. Mine are G6/G7 right now.

Troopers got marginally better, but still suck...I mean, they're still on my list to work on (esp. Deathtrooper), but Veers is an awful farm for so little payoff. Plus, I'd rather run Krennic (L), DT, Snow, Shore, Storm if I'm going to try to do some kind of Trooper synergy.

They probably work great at low levels, if you by some miracle pull Shore from your free chromium and Veers from bronzium, you can become king of your shard, if only temporarily.

Guild store put 5 shards for her up last night, so I was able to 5 star her just in time...to get my rear end handed to me by Thrawn. (First 3 rounds went fine, 4th round where you actually face Thrawn was a god drat bloodbath.) Oh well, I'll train up my squad for next time he's available, and it's not like he'd be super usable at only 5 stars anyway.
