Rebels

= How to use in Arena/GAC = Faction Essentials: CORE REBELS - THERE IS A LOT MORE TO THIS FACTION THAN MEETS THE EYE

Dividing up the Rebels
References:
 * Rebel Leaders & 2nd Teams
 * OG Leia in a Rogue One team?


 * CLS with han, Chewy, R2D2 and C3P0 the best. Until you get C3P0, sub in a tank like Old Ben or SRP. However, often you'll want undersize wins with CLS, Han and Chewy only. Old Ben can be put with R1 or any other team without a tank. R2D2 is versitile anywhere.

Leftovers:
 * Hoth Rebel Scout
 * Hoth Rebel Soldier
 * Lando - good under Wiggs or Ackbar
 * Captain Han - hard farm, works well under Rogue One

Arena team variations
The core are the 'Rebel Triumvirate': CLS, Han, Chewy. The team is built on TM gain leadership, Han's Shoot First, Chewy's assists and CLS' unique abilities such as high counter-attack. Generally, 4th and 5th are support (or 2 supports) and tank characters. Less common is another attacker, though attackers like Jyn have a lot team utility.

Support subs:
 * C3P0 - #1 sub
 * R2D2 - utility and stats-sharing - can sometimes act as atank
 * Thrawn - for advanced counter strategies
 * Qira

Tank subs:
 * Old Ben - TM gain on resists
 * St Han - TM gain on damage. Useful in p4 of hstr
 * SRP - TM gain on basic. Revives if buff's present. 1st Special debuff can be resisted for TM gain
 * L3 - pretaunt, heals Han and Chewy

Attack subs:
 * Bistan - wants guard. Needs to be fast.
 * Princess Leia - old meta with Old Ben
 * Jyn - gives TM to Han and can revive tank.
 * Nest

Funky arena teams
These are designed to be underestimated:
 * Ackbar lead, Princess Leia, B2, Hoda, SRP
 * Ackbar lead, Princess Leia, Thrawn, Shoretrooper, GK Leia the Machine Gun - Heroic Sith raid P2
 * Ackbar lead, Princess Leia, SRP, Ewok Elder, Wat - every rebel basic gains turn meter
 * Rolocop ROLOCOP - SWGOH - The Easiest Team Anyone Can Run in Phase 3 of the Heroic Sith Raid
 * Jyn lead, Bistan Cassian, K2S0, Old Ben (not that funky)

Maximising Rebel pilots in multiple game modes
With a small number of non-rebels and non-rebel-pilots.

Fleet

 * Home One: G12 Ackbar
 * MILF: high relic han/chewy
 * Biggs: low relic
 * Bistan Uwing: low relic bistan, scarif
 * Phantom: G12 for Ezra as used in JKR team, G11 for Sabine and Chopper
 * Cassian's Uwing: G11 Cassian first, then G11 others later
 * Others: G11 eventually

Arena

 * CLS, Han, Chewy, R2D2 + 1
 * Offense: Thrawn or Bistan (see https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sZxpMiaUonQ&t=4155)
 * Defense: Scarif Rebel Pathfinder

 * Ackbar, CLS, Han, Thrawn, BB8 - can semi-manual solo if gear/relics high enough (See Goddalt for proof: http://shard.swgoh.life/squads.php?raid=haat1) and here for advice: https://www.reddit.com/r/SWGalaxyOfHeroes/comments/7wxqe5/ackbar_lead_haat_team/
 * Alternatively: Ackbar, CLS, Han, Chewy, BB8 - prefer this as don't have to relic Thrawn so high as above. See for proof:
 * Do you think I could pull that off with R5 Han, r4 Chewie, and R1 CLS? Who is guard on btw
 * I highly doubt it. It went up to or into enrage in phases 1-3.  CLS and Han.
 * Alternatively: CLS, HAN, Ezra, BB8, Thrawn (10m only, Skelturix http://shard.swgoh.life/squads.php?raid=haat1#) - all gear 11/12 - with relics might do better. Not sure if potentially better than Ackbar lead?
 * Alternatively: zCLS(L) Zolo zR2 BB-8 Thrawn - 27 Million, hAAT - 27 MILLION DAMAGE WITH A SINGLE SQUAD - uses R2, which is also good for arena team

HSTR
HSTR - phase 1: CLS, Chewy, Han, Thrawn, Traya?

Phase 2

 * Phoenix
 * Ackbar, Leia, St han, Chirrut, Fulcrum
 * Rogue one pilot characters
 * Wiggs, Farmboy, Old ben, Hoth scout (until ROLO available?)

Phase 3

 * CLS, Han, Chewy, Thrawn, BB8
 * OR CLS, Han, Chewy, Chirrut, Leia (Chexmix variant)


 * Only BB8 and Thrawn are non-rebels.
 * Only non-pilots are CLS, R2D2, Leia, St Han, Farmboy, Old Ben, Chirrut, Fulcrum, Hoth Scout.
 * No Baze as high hard node, but may be worth the grind?
