Barriss Zeta ability enough to hard counter Wiggs, Droids and general crit builds?

Well, Uniques typicly only work when the unit is up, so she'd get focused down, though it could alleviate it a bit, and turn her into a non-taunting tank.

I think Barriss under a QGJ lead (zeta'd) will counter a lot of the current meta. You can't get OHKO if you can't get hit the first time. And then Barriss will go about her business cleansing and healing.

Yeah take wiggs for instance. It does not do damage in one swoop. It is 3 attacks total, which means up to 60% health regained if they all crit.

Barris is formidable HP-wise, those 60%HP count for a lot which can render the wiggs magic much less effective on her. When applied to allies, it's 60% of their own health, not Barriss', so its effectiveness will depend on the ally.

Good for my 90K HP Royal Guard! Not so much for my Ackbar, but still good.

On the other hand, being a unique grants versatility in being able to choose any char as a leader.
I can team her up with Luminara to get Lumi's health + evasion leader passive and 2 healers for maximum annoyance. Or pair her up with a lot of tanks.

Yeah, if you speed Barriss up (a lot) so that she can heal and cleanse toons quickly, then it COULD somewhat counter the Wiggs/Lando meta, but still not sure because Wiggs and Lando are such DPS machines.

A fast Shoretrooper is probably more effective because of the crit hit immunity he gives your team when he uses his unique. That effectively makes Wiggs and Lando a LOT less powerful.

For sure ST is more effective, but he's also behind a paywall. QGJ and Barriss are free. Throw in Yoda to avoid debuffs and you become very annoying. JKA + Ahsoka probably rounds it out for damage.

Barriss gains passive tm whenever an ally is critically hit, so she doesn't need to be sped up that much

That's a good point.

Yeah that team definitely has a lot of survivability potential. And JKA and Ahsoka can do some damage. Just not sure that team has enough DPS for the Arena.

QGJ, barris, kenobi, anakin, ahsoka or yoda.

Health inmunity or shock debuf and bye bye... Very easy to EP and Sid...

Wait, Bariss dispell debuf?
