Building or finding a good team in Star Wars Galaxy of Heroes that has synergy and all capabilities to deal with hard setups isn’t easy and, with all honesty, the options you find online doesn’t necessarily make it easier with so many outdated guides.
That’s why I decided to give you here a frequently updated overview of teams that top players in Star Wars Galaxy of Heroes use and rank them to give you the chance to find a team that you can evolve and build around. These are all solid options the way they are but you can always modify them depending on your roaster of characters in SWGOH, that by the way we also have a full tier list for here.
What Are The Best Teams in Star Wars Galaxy of Heroes Right Now?
As team archetypes and synergies grow, we saw the need to split it up a bit more or this whole site would be impossible to navigate. So, looking for specific synergies, please select it here (and below you will find as usual the Arena Teams in SWGOH):
The Best Arena Teams
Let’s have a look at the roughly 20 teams that are viable and relevant in Grand Arena right now that can serve you as a blueprint to build your own teams there.
This team is built with Leia Organa, Captain Drogan, R2-D2, Baze Malbus and Mon Mothma. Amazing in everything you need to do in Grand Arena and also Territory Wars, excells in offense and defense and for years so viable in the meta
This team is built with Ahsoka Tano, Ezra Bridger (Exile), Padawan Sabine Wren, Huyang and General Syndulla. Relatively new and really in the meta sinceGalactic Legend Ahsoka Tano entered the stage and now absolutely one of the most viable teams out there
This team is built with Supreme Leader Kylo Ren, Rey (Dark Side Vision), General Hux, Kylo Ren (Unmasked) and Sith Trooper. Great team overall you can run comfortably in all modes but misses the op-ness of the top teams but since Dark Vision Rey entered the roaster, this team is doing even better and is absolutely competitive for the top ranks
This team is built with Jedi Master Kenobi, Commander Ahsoka Tano, Ahsoka Tano, General Kenobi and Padme Amidala. Still after many years still one of the most viable PvP teams in SWGOH
This team is built with Jabba the Hutt, Boushh (Leia Organa), Skiff Guard (Lando Calrissian), Embo and Krrsantan. Great and balanced overall although falls a little short to the top team but still a great team, espcially in Territory Wars and with more and more new heroes being released it starts lacking a little bit more and more on the defensive side of things
This team is built with Rey, Ben Solo, Cal Kestis, Rey (Jedi Training) and Ezra Bridger (Exile). Evolved from the former version called Rey Resistance (RR) with the newer characters available now which also made this team more viable
This team is built with Lord Vader, Maul, Grand Admiral Thrawn, Royal Guard and Darth Vader. Very good team overall and balanced in all ways and the best full Dark Side team in Galaxy of Heroes but can’t compete with the very top meta teams right now.
This team is built with Third Sister, Grand Inquisitor, Seventh Sister, Fifth Brother and Eighth Brother. Overall great but in defense the top teams will give this lineup a hard time often enough.
This team is built with Jedi Master Luke Skywalker, Jedi Knight Cal Kestis, Jedi Knight Revan, Jedi Knight Luke Skywalker and Grand Master Yoda. I ranked this down a bit since it is simply struggeling more against newer teams recently
This team is built with Sith Eternal Emperor, Darth Revan, Darth Malak, Savage Opress and Darth Talon. I ranked this down a bit since it is simply struggeling more against newer teams recently
This team is built with Boss Nass, Jar Jar Binks, Captain Tarpals, Gungan Boomadier and Gungan Phalanx. Quite new after the release of the heroes in early 2024 and actually quite a decent team to run
This team is built with Bo-Katan (Mand’alor), The Mandalorian, Paz Vizsla, Bo-Katan Kryze and IG-12 & Grogu. Overall quite solid and works everywhere but if you encounter the top teams, you will be in trouble often enough.
This team is built with Queen Amidala, Padawan Obi-Wan, Master Qui-Gon, Echo and Shaak Ti. Not the craziest team with the new heroes that have been released but you can form a decent team with them. Will see where meta drags them in the future but it works right now.
This team is built with Cere Junda, Taron Malicos, Cal Kestis, Ahsoka Tano (Fulcrum) and Kylo Ren (Unmasked). This team shines more in defense than offense but it’s still a viable and useful team.
This team is built with Emperor Palpatine, Mara Jade, Starkiller, Visas Marr and Obi-Wan Kenobi (Old Ben). Do not run this team in Territory Wars!
This team is built with Darth Malgus, Darth Revan, Bastila Shan (Fallen), Darth Malak and Darth Talon. Ranked the team a little higher now since it seems to work more stable on defense compared to my previous guide.
This team is built with Dark Trooper Moff Gideon, Moff Gideon, Scout Trooper, Death Trooper and Stormtrooper. –
This team is built with Maul, Imperial Super Commando, Gar Saxon, Canderous Ordo and Jango Fett. –
This team is built with General Grievous, STAP, B1 Battle Droid, B2 Super Battle Droid and IG-100 MagnaGuard. Huge jump. Not a team that will define the meta right now but one that works a lot more stable recently thanks to STAP and the synergy that opens

This team is built with Commander Luke Skywalker, Han Solo, C-3PO, Chewbacca and Threepio & Chewie. Cool oldshool team but really not doing well in the meta for a quite a while anymore and I rather see it going even more down.

Conclusion
Of course there are many variations of teams but this should be your start point of teams where you can evolve and test around or you will be quite lost. The top teams are dominating Territory Wars and the Arena in Star Wars Galaxy of Heroes and if you have them ready you can be ready to dominate as well.
