Top 10 WORST Zetas in SWGOH

[@christopherkessler4827]

GBA lead zeta is solid, for the things it makes sense to attack with it. First order, Rogue One, etc are all spamming buffs no matyer how many times you dispel them. Also remember that it's not 10% if the enemy has a buff. It's 10% per enemy with a buff. So you're wailing away on Sith Trooper and getting 40% offense boost while the rest sit there, still with advantage.

[@Binzob]

Still a waste of a zeta. 140% of 0 is 0

[@lukelubenow8420]

Clones Wars Chewbacca is an order of magnitude worse than all of these.

[@steffeno.7381]

cwc brings you defence up feats in conquest 😂

[@falc0n717]

Will say that the GBA zeta is actually a small clause that can screw you over with the Jawa counter. It incentivizes you to NOT risk the Geonosians having +50% offense if they blitz down scavenger. It was a thorn in my side when Jawas were the go-to counter until I figured out that clause

[@CalvinAwesome]

Oh interesting

[@johnjackson2349]

I agree with this list, however the Dengar zeta, I used my geos to counter bounty hunters dozens of times however I actually timed out against Dengar before a very tanky well modded dengar which I wasn't expecting! Around 2 minutes of auto attack just on him and he lived 😂 99% of players don't have him modded great though

[@CalvinAwesome]

Oh poor spy

[@WhatTheHec84]

I made the mistake of applying the GMYoda lead zeta coming back into the game thinking it was a new “reworked” unique. Oh boy when I realized it was the lead…

[@CalvinAwesome]

Sad day

[@bomafett]

I think L3's zeta does not work as intended.

[@kirbyparker2546]

I disagree with the gba zeta. While it's more luxury than necessity, you can't forget that when the brute counters sun fac isn't assisting to dispel, and for raw basic dmg the brute I far and away the heaviest hitter on the team and really carries in geo tb during multiple waves of enemies. I think there are plenty of worse zetas tha truly don't add anything to your roster

[@CalvinAwesome]

I rely mostly on Spys but damage for kills so it's not really seemed to have made a difference

[@Noah-ns3xc]

I used the maul zeta for my conquest feats a while back, helps me get all the evasion feats

[@chucksax]

I’ve actually been considering putting the zeta on Gideon’s lead, but that depends if the Beskar Gideon is a leader or not. It looks like Scout Trooper makes that trooper team pretty awesome with Gideon lead, so maybe?

[@CalvinAwesome]

bag has confirmed to be a leader. I'll be putting scout with Iden for the time being

[@JonaD757]

I've got half of this lol, rip. I like Maul for Galactic Challenges or Conquest (stealth feats); I sometimes get value from Magna (at the time had nothing else to zeta), Krasantan was a legit mistake haha, had no idea about Jabba doing the same thing, but maybe I'll get the omni; Dengar can help with banners I guess lol, GBA's helps with damage against heavy buff teams when you're focusing a target.

[@Justanotherconsumer]

Krrs is useless. I got it for the omi, which I also kinda regret.

[@darthmillien]

Magna zeta isn't terrible. By resetting the cooldownit banks 15% TM to B1, which is so so important

[@CalvinAwesome]

That's the best reason for magna I've heard. But I guess that also assumes you don't need a cleanse from basic

[@cassdobbins1605]

Adding insult to injury, Magnaguard needs 16 omega materials...

[@jedhai2171]

I am upset about the Krrsantan zeta. I had no idea about the uselessness of it until you listed it here. What a STUPID waste.

[@CalvinAwesome]

...it is unfortunate

[@djolyo]

That GBA leadership zeta was the first time I ever experienced reading a kit and thinking it was totally not worth applying. Understanding the kits is so important.

[@CalvinAwesome]

It sure is, for good efficiency there has to be a more nuanced understanding than just "character good" or "character bad"

[@deathsquad8891]

The Gideon leadership zeta does wonders with Scout Trooper, which is now one of the best teams in the game. Krrsantan is also useful under Embo, considering JTH is not exactly a character you'd earn over night to get a top HC team.

[@CalvinAwesome]

Yeah but if you have Krr it's almost guaranteed it's because you're getting jabba. Not really sure where this info about scout is coming from, it's a brand new character with very limited testing

[@mrasianman110]

As someone who does not have Krrsantan or Leia, Krrsantan's zeta may be slightly less useless now that the Jabba vs Leia matchup is a thing. Presumably from the wording, Leia should stop Jabba's cooldown reset, but from the matchups I've seen the Dismember zeta clause doesn't fall under that

[@CalvinAwesome]

Oh interesting I wonder if that's WAI

[@mrasianman110]

​That's a hard question, I feel. Functionally, I think it would be the same as 'starting on cooldown' counting as cooldown manipulation But not really a precedent for it, and CG may also just CG and not want Drogan getting dismembered (Side note: great video, there were some zetas here I was considering)

[@chuckbittner8704]

It's funny for me, though I couldn't get through Padme and I accidentally applied that Zaida. And that team got me her unlocked and a six star. That was my first accidental Zaida, and my last

Had to take Gamo to R8 for TB so figured what the hell, let’s zeta. I don’t have embo yet so I put in Gamo + Boba and benched skiff. With 15% health/protection cron it helped me go 3/3 in K2 last gac. But I’ll probably sit him again when that set expires

If you are looking to form teams for territory wars for example, put Sabine and Capt. Rex into Phoenix, even though it isn't the best line up and pull the Jedi out, then suddenly that useless zeta on GMY has a use again

[@CalvinAwesome]

I think you need more than Kanan and Ezra to get the GMY lead to work

[@christopherparsons3224]

@@CalvinAwesome , no disputing that, but I would try Mace and Old Ben with them for a Jedi only team, since I see them as basically homeless otherwise. Also, the idea of putting Kit Fisto and Ahsoka Tano Fulcrum with GMY, Ezra and Kanan, on a team that doesn't need the Jedi tag is intriguing to me, since Yoda and Kit can provide Ahsoka with buffs for her whirlwind, while Ezra and GMY help out with the attack and Kanan taunts.

[@melkisel4936]

Darth Maul's lead was decent during the evasion datacron meta since you would pair him with leftover Sith (Savage, Sidious, Marauder, especially Assassin) and he would be impossible to hit.

[@tumblodryay1189]

Haha! I have Krrs's zeta. Thanks for making me feel bad! I stayed away from Magna and Jimmy's zetas. Apply it to Jimmy when he gets a ship. Also, was Magna a pilot in Star Wars at some point?

[@tomasmicak9041]

Is that how you describe Dismember zeta correct? Reset cooldowns and No longer starts on cooldown are two different things - so do you have this actually confirmed from someone who does not have that zeta?

[@CalvinAwesome]

They are 2 different things and Jabba eliminates both

[@lilinu060]

The only one i don’t agree on is moff Gideon lead, moff Gideon lead with full imperial remnants team is arguably the best imperial trooper lineup right now thanks to scout trooper. They have confirmed new moff Gideon will be a conquest unit which means at best, if you’re maxing out hard mode conquest chests (which most players just aren’t doing right now) you’ll unlock the character in 6 months that’s not including g13 farming or zetas assuming you didn’t just have all required zetas on hand upon unlock (zeta farming isn’t that bad but it is extra time/resources and the point of this video). At worst if you’re a player who hasn’t even cleared normal you’re likely to not get new Gideon for 33 proving grounds once it’s available assuming your 4 mil gp and able to clear it day one if a zeta improves a character i consider usable for a team that can get some clutch wins like current imperial remnant line up that i would have to wait over a year to have a better alternative? Personally i can’t say that zeta is bad and with death trooper as well as dark trooper being both attackers, scout being low gear low star usable support and 1 tank in regular stormtrooper the team is seemingly built around his zeta Most people utilizing imperial troopers will likely already have moff Gideon invested in idk if waiting for 33 proving grounds will be the move to make imperial remnants useable for the average non-max hard chest player i hope i worded that as well as i could without over complicating things. But with this making imperial remnants a threat today rather than waiting for a character that could take 1-2 years to get that hasn’t even come out yet idk if that’s logic i can get down with

[@CalvinAwesome]

Maxing out hard conquest is only 3 months farm for BAG. which at that point you'd have to accelerate scout to have her ready. What is current gid with scout beating? I guess in a world where it takes you years to get conquest characters that might be worth looking into???

@@CalvinAwesome to be fair Ahnald did the leg work/testing but at 3 star scout trooper with Gideon lead beats Zori, Tuskens, captain rex for sure without omicron possible but more difficult with rex omicron, admiral Raddus, CLS but a lot of teams beat CLS right now unfortunately, maul-dalorian team, The ones that are surprising and possibly worth the zeta would be tuskens and maul-dolorians Gen veers lead struggles against those but the extra tankiness and revive with less turn meter gains allows gideon lead to shine against the turn meter counter (tuskens) as well as the taunt swapping (maul lead) which gen veers struggles against Ah my conquest math may be off and thanks for the heads up but i struggle to max normal difficulty personally my roster just can’t handle certain comps in conquest not to mention the requirement of some built up new units for some of the feats which just isn’t feasible for me unless i drop current projects so hard mode while possible I’m not getting as far as I’d like to. So getting conquests units is a long. For proving grounds i beat all but the malgus tier my first time but even with clearing them each time they come around i still don’t have one fully unlocked. To be fair i wasn’t able to complete normal difficulty conquest until a few months ago. However unlocking SEE was faster for me than these conquest units.

Counter point for Gideon, I am 90% sure that for the next conquest set, there are going to be feats for imperial remnant, and I could see that lead being required. So sure, his lead will be pushed out...if you have it, or a number of months down the road if you don't get him in conquest on time. Likewise, Darth Maul is good for stealth feats in conquest. And conquest is still a top 3 most important game mode. Alternatively, I think there are others that should be added, such as the wonderful amazing Gar Saxon, who is a bad character with a bad zeta, Jyn lead which has never been good.

[@CalvinAwesome]

Yeah Jyn would fall into the GMY category, and Gar is just bad overall

I think the best example of the 'magna falacy' you described (that i think a lot of people would disagree with me about) is JKLs unique to gain 20 speed max throughout the battle. It sounds good at first because speed is always great, but if you think about it, how much is it really going to change? Likely nothing

[@CalvinAwesome]

Yeah it was specifically made for his lead so that he could eventually outspeed the enemies he reduced speed of. And his lead is seldom used now

Yeah fair point but even under JKL lead, just using a basic from Hoda generates 5% turn meter which does the same job. I guess under a Jedi like lead team without any supporting Jedi that generate turn meter it could do something, but that's the limit
