Rex Leads are just as weak as Zaul leads on defense vs other Zaul and Rex teams.
Little secret to counter Rex leads...
Drop Palpatine and make your Zaul the quickest on your team and faster than enemy Rex's.
Maul Daze - Nihilus Force Drain
Then throw in DT to increase another cooldown
Hi Smithie.
I thought about this strategy yesterday and tried it against Rex(l) with my Zaul team.
I run Zaul(l) Zavage Nihilus ST and palp. So I swaped palp for DT (192 speed can do better but moved good mods to other toons)
I got highly rekt cause Chirut.
Main problem for Zaul team is not Rex(L), but the insane combination of Rex(l), GK, Chibaze and Nihilus.
3 mass team clean. TM everywhere. Mass heal buff... GK that grant counter attack to Nihilus who debuff everyone. Plays fast and kill ur nihilus first. GG it's over.
The trick doesnt work against chirut because:
- he can be faster than Rex. My Maul have 191 speed with dcc/ccc mod setup (~238 speed at first round). I got rekt by a chirut with 242 speed (should have checked before i know...). Chirut played first and tenacity on all group. GG.
- he grants healing buff to allies when they suffer a critical hit. Zaul + nihilus playing before DT = healing buffs. No CD increased at all by the grenade. Pretty useless in fact.
- And the worst (and trust me it happens everytime), maul Daze everyone but 1 guy at random. You're rekt unless it's baze. Like when palp stuns everyone but Rex. Always. Why? Cause RNG. But I can't remember how many times palp doesn't stuned Rex (without tenacity setup).
So it's still highly RNG. But I agree it can be a solution.
At last the synergie between maul daze and DT main attack is good on paper. On a real fight, I had never been able to use it cause clean clean clean.
Even deathmark can be very hard to use cause you must setup it before a cleaner plays.
So I guess this trick works, but if there is chirut, I guess the best option is still the insane B2 and pray for RNG to be with you on proc of 100% TM :dizzy:
