How to counter this team?
This guy on my server recently started using this Vader zeta team, and I just can't seem to be able to beat him using my empire team (EP Lead, Vader, TFP, Shore, RG (planning on switching to B2)). My team is all gear 10 except for TFP who is gear 11 and Vader who is gear 9. The enemy team is:
Vader (Zeta L) - 194 speed (27 speed on mine, I don't have a ton of good mods)
EP - 220 speed (9 speed faster than mine)
Boba - 217 speed
Baze - 174 speed
Shore - 128 speed
The above characters are all Gear 11 and 7 stars.
Battles against this team usually go like this: My TFP goes first but is stuck on the auto taunters, then enemy EP does his AoE stun followed by Boba AoE ability block. This almost always leaves my entire team either stunned or ability blocked, so I don't really get a first turn. Vader then does his AoE, and leaves tons of DoTs that never go away thanks to his zeta. On the enemies next turn, my TFP and EP get executed or culling bladed by Boba and Vader, and it is pretty much game over from there.
To counter this team, I am thinking about gearing up my Rex to gear 10 (he is gear 7 now, but I can get him up) and transferring all my best mods from EP to Rex to try and get him faster than the enemy EP and Boba, so I can get Tenacity up, which will block all the debuffs from EP, Boba and Vader, but will be dispelled when their baze takes a turn. I was also considering gearing up my B2 and using his AoE to take Shore and Baze's taunts away quickly, so that my other characters can focus the important toons.
Would this strategy work?
If yes, what would be the best teams with these toons in to run against this team and a wiggs heavy shard? (about every 3 in 4 players in my top 20 use wiggs)
If no, how should I beat this team instead? (also needs to be able to beat wiggs teams)
