Question on Jyn ability

Hello! I have been using Jyn in my current arena team and tend to stay in the 10-30 area most days but after fighting another one a few times, ive noticed she likes to start with Rebel counterattack over Truncheon strike, which doesnt seem like the better choice as truncheon basically shuts down either the tank from taunting or takes out one of the higher damage people, while just gaining the tm back, and with her natural speed works well on attack.Seems like the ai could be tweaked on that, thoughts?

Also to try to find a better use for her, ive tried to find the pattern in which she gives the tm from counterattack, and from i can tell she doesnt give it to the lowest tm person, but potentially the leader? Im not sure how many others have fought her in arena, and with only 1 other team i usually fight with her on it and the occasional GW ive not had much chance to see. From what i remember it seemed like always the leader though.

Anyone have any information that could help with this would be welcome, trying to find the best way to use her on defense, if the lead does get the tm always then i have people i would rather over wedge, potentially Boba or someone else. Thanks!
  • I like using jyn with zeta vader...and using her aoe to make vader go immediately and use his aoe so the enemy takes dot dmg asap, and there imminent slavo of ability blocks and stun, shock, buff immunity, whatever doesn't stop the dot dmg from ticking away, in fact only making it worse with stun, shock as in most cases vader/jyn will be ready to aoe again after the debuffs are wore off. Only issue i have is when i auto...lol jyn seems to use truncheon strike forst instead of aoe...so we are at an impasse.
  • Yeah, I'm not sure if I can help you there. Any toon that has multiple abilities that require strategy are going to be poor on defense. Hence why Wiggs got in the meta so much; it's pretty much fool proof.
  • I've been using Jyn in my arena team for quite a while now. I always use her rebel counterattack first when up against an autotaunter. Give the TM to SF or B2 and clear the taunt for wiggs to then kill main target. I do use stun batton first if no auto taunt. Usually on opposing Biggs just to slow down his attack.

    Edit: my Jyn is 264 speed so goes first against pretty much every team I come across other than JE with droids and some super modded TFPs (or anyone under Zaul leader)

    I am also interested though in what she does on D. I've always assumed whatever it is it's not optimum!
