Hello All, With the expected release of Thrawn we've done a lot of theory crafting. And a team I think will be near unstoppable can be ; Gar Saxon Lead. Thrawn. Imperial Super commando. Boba and Shore/GK. The theory behind this..Fast boba. Fast Thrawn. AB with bob and let the counters fly. Each hit from Thrawn stuns. GS applies speed down. Shore CC down. ISC O down. And it'll be a continuous loop of this once u apply fracture. Even more with GK. Discuss please. I'm open to any ideas/modifications.

Don't think this would work against Zaul. You'll be hard-pressed to go first, and AOE daze ruins the party.

Oh yes Zaul. But will people want to put zaul in arena ? It gets knocked down so hard once you put it up. Everyone has a Rex team

Once shards are mature and the majority have Rex / R2 / GK, zDM will seem very dead. He can win some on O still, but vs. elite GK / Chaze / R2 comps that's not at a high rate and on D he gets pulverized. Had a shardmate that used him yesterday and forgot to switch him out overnight. He woke up outside of the 50 rank from being in the top 5. This is no bum player either - has a 6* G11 ATF, 7* G11 Chaze, etc...Maul just gets absolutely pulverized in a developed arena. Call him dead not dead - bottom line is he shouldn't be a consideration when constructing teams going forward because you won't see him in D slots much longer if you still are and many players don't want to re-mod teams switching back and forth with multiple characters / builds to even attack with, especially when it's pointless because R2 / GK / Rex work so well anyway.

When someone mentions maul in this context they mean:Hmm, a thrawn team... Lets use maul to win, then you swap back to your usual flavor of the month for your next match...Besides, if OP's squad hecomes meta, and zaul is the only one beating it, zaul will become more widely used, which means rex becomes more widely used, which means zaul dies again, for thrawn to re-emerge - until the next best thing comes aroundThat's not how arena works anymore. The idea is you need a team that beats every team and occasionally wins on D so you can jockey close to payout. Nobody is going to be switching squad when they are going to be a part of 4 different battles in the last 15 minutes.

Totally agree, I've been slowly working on tarkin as well and I've maxed out Veer's lead as well just in case, so it will be fun to play around with them.

Krennic lead maybe decent zetaed Crits lead to ability blocks Thrawn hit after will stun but don't believe will be fast enough . Hybrid Thrawn comp will probably be meta . I shared the Tarkin lead Thrawn dt shore dn comp before because thread was about all Empire and just now realized dn isn't Empire my apologies but I truly believe Gk for shoretrooper will be ran by a lot. Thrawn countering with retribution way better than the 15 extra tm Tarkin gets on his special. I'm hoping I can run my veers lead Thrawn snowtrooper dt shoretrooper with some Success too

Yeah, my current team is zKrennic(l), zDT, zVeers, ShoreT and Rex... Thrawn will be a great addition in place of Rex and I think will help me stay in top 10 over night and actually compete for 1st. Right now zaul and the current meta are really hurting my ability to do so, but I think Thrawn will allow me to break that.

intentionally make DT on the slower side to dispel all the hot's, tenacity etc that a triple cleanse team will put up trying to dispel the fracture.

I doubt that is going to happen. The AI should be able to distinguish non-cleanseable debuffs, which is why it (to my knowledge) doesn't try to cleanse Sabine's armor break. It's also the same reason it doesn't try to dispel BHR or back-up plan.

On the other hand there are plenty of debuffs going around on an empire team... so plenty of opportunity to make them use those cleanses!
