Disclaimer for guests: this is just my opinion
Faced a maxed Rebel team in GW today- had to throw in the good ol' B-team
Why I would peg Rebels at S-Tier:
Full Tier list here: impswgoh.boards.net/thread/8/darth-censions-arena-updated-patch
Ackbar was recently reworked: swgoh.gg/characters/admiral-ackbar/
His leader ability is now among the best in the game, if not straight up the best. Why?
When you use a utility skill, you sacrifice damage for utility. Now you get both. Plus, all Rebels have around 55% percent to gain ~35% TM on Basic so you get in a ton of extra attacks. I don't like calling things overpowered; didn't think Dooku was OP, don't think RG is OP, etc.
Ackbar's leader ability is overpowered. It gives 25 speed. It gives 10% tenacity. It turns utility skills into damaging abilities and further increases effective speed through TM gain.
You get more damage, more speed, more defense. You get more of everything in one ability and it's on all the time. Broken.
Other notable rebels:
HRS is a TM gaining machine for your team. Also has solid damage, stuns, has 168 speed with Ackbar lead.
We all know ST Han is fantastic, especially combined with RG.
Team I would run: Ackbar (L), HRS, Lando, ST Han, RG
Why no Leia? Lando does more TOTAL damage with his AoE, possibly one of the strongest damaging abilities in the game. Also less dependent on RNG. Very unlikely when maxed out he will not crit at least 2/5 enemies. Assuming ~65% natural crit with 679 crit rating and 15% crit on his passive and no dodges because Dooku is really bad now, the chance to not crit at least 2 is something like:
(1/5)^5 + (5C1)[(1/5)^4](4/5) which works out to: (probability of not critting at least 2)=0.00672 or 0.67% to not crit at least 2
Been a while since I've done math let me know if I'm crazy, stupid or need more sleep
His achilles heel was his low speed and squishiness, but ST Han+RG keeps him safe and Ackbar gives him speed. Rebels' kits are focused on gaining an advantage through TM gain and enables Lando to maximize the potential in his kit.
Worth? I've started farming Ackbar and HRS.
TL;DR Rebels are S-Tier
