the reason the "CUP" counter works is because of Sith Trooper assisting. If you don't have an attack out of turn every single turn against fives, he will die. It's Padme and Kylo's AI that makes it work, not CUP.

I understand the mechanism that is being relied on here. I also understand that CUP has nothing to do with making it work. That's why I said zBarriss would be an improvement on CUP.

My uncertainty about whether or not you could still get away with something like this even if the SLKR squad removed ST is because I'm just not sure that a health-modded, high-defense Fives wouldn't survive long enough with a zeta-Barris in place of CUP. Since they're constantly getting Advantage and zBarriss passively heals on a critical, I don't know how long that would keep Fives alive, but definitely longer than without zBarriss. And depending on how long he actually survives, that might be long enough to have GA$ take out SLKR's squadmates, at which point one could presumably win even if 5s died.

Again, I'm not asserting this would work, just that it works better than CUP and would be worth a try if they took ST out of the lineup. Playtesting will determine whether it actually provides a reliable path to victory.

If fives is getting crit and only being healed for 20% of his health after losing 50+% of it to a crit from Kylo, he's going to die. It may take 3-4 hits rather than the 2-3 it takes without Barris but he'd die.
