Post Darth Revan: The JKR Mirror Match Solution

It’s early, that’s true, but there are only 6 Sith Empire options, and it’s looking clear that JKR is still the best defensive squad, despite the fact that DR can win on offense.

So how do you solve a problem like JKR?

My suggestion is that perhaps we can’t expect the offensive and defensive meta to change - in tandem - with every new journey release. CG have set themselves an impossible task, and that’s becoming clearer with every new release.

Building on this, I propose that the problem is not necessarily JKR being (or continuing to be) the best defensive team, it’s that mirror matches are an absolutely soul destroying experience, and we all hate them.

The solution? Re-vamp arena to allow players to set a squad for defence, then use whatever team they like on offense. That way I can use my shiny new Darth Revan without having to worry about falling 50 places overnight, or getting knocked back while climbing.

This format also synergises well with GA, it’s just setting one defensive team instead of several.

For the icing on the cake, put in a Defence Log tab which details who attacked you, with what, when, and whether it was a win or a loss.

The game has changed drastically, the way metas are formed has changed, and the arena format needs to change accordingly.

    In pushed to #1 no problem today with g9 revan/bastila/HK/sion/nihilus. It’s absolutly not grievous 2.0. Most of the wins were 4v5 straight off the start. They destroy on offense, not so much on D though

    sounds like your shard is new...
  • I have been using Chewie in the mirror for months. Sometimes rng is bad and you lose the mirror, but other than that he makes Revan-Revan mirrors trivial.
  • Better solution to make the task of dethroning JKR easier, add the conditional to direct focus:
    IF the target has deal damage to an ally this battle, Stun, CD increase, TMR and call all Jedi to assist for 50% dmg.

    This I found the chewie addition a few days ago, went from 300 ish to under 100 at payout, dropping to 120 overnight

    All you have to do to stop hating JKR mirror matches is to stop using GK in your JKR squad. Replace him with Hoda, or Chewy, and the timeout problems go away entirely. I've been running JKR, GMY, Jolee, Bastila, Hoda forever, and I've only timed out twice.

    It is already in the Marvel Strike Force arena

    Nerf the c out of Jolee, problem solved.

    I agree that Jolee is more the problem than Revan himself. 100% success rate to revive all fallen Jedi with practically no cooldown because of it’s reduction on basic is absurd.
    With all of the passive healing and foresight it can be a nearly impossible task to kill an overly tanky Jolee, giving him all the time to repeatedly revive Yoda and GK.
    I wouldn’t agree that nerfing the c out of him is the right choice, but perhaps more ways to prevent reviving. A leadership that prevents revives would a welcome addition.


    Bingo

    I love this idea and have been a proponent for a while. Would be fun an interesting to see passive stats from arena!

    Precisely, everyone should do that. I target such teams whenever I can and rarely time out against them.


    Funny, but if you know how to mod your team correctly it is also good on defense. I take top rank daily, and rarely fall below 30-35 overnight.
