What's a good squad against the counter-meta (Rex)?

After a very short-lived wave of Siths (under Maul), my Arena is now infested with Rex squads (triple cleanse + Baze +1). I still run my old Vader/Boba team, who was taking a beating against the Mauls, but not so much against the Rexes, strangely (Vader sometimes needs to wait 3 or 4 turns for Force crush, but fortunately the one thing those teams don't do much is actual damage, so I can just wait), but I'm itching to try Maul (I have him levelled, and 20 zeta materials).

So the question is: Since Rex is the scissors to Maul's paper, do Maul teams have a hard time against the Rexes? Is it still useful to invest in Maul now that its counter is so widespread? Or is there a better usage for that Zeta, including perhaps wait for that second Empire pass (Tarkin?)?

--Thanks

  • I run zaul and only lose on offense to another zaul due to RNG maybe 1 out of 20 attacks. Rex is easy and zQGJ I can just auto and have most of my protection still at the end.

    Unless you have insane speed, Zader is dead in the water against all other zeta teams. We have only 2 die hard zaders left and they drop to the 30s and have a hard time getting top 5at payout.

    Rex can win vs Maul but it's still not as good. Maul lead vs rex will win on offense. Maul nihilus sithsin Ep + tank is a better team than rex for me.


    B2 is nice against the triple cleanse/Rex teams. Zylo is also excellent as the 5th. If you're Palp is fast enough, you don't even need SA.

    Rex drops overnight. Bad defense.


    Honestly, most teams drop pretty far over night. The AI is moronic of defense for almost any team.

    Except zaul, cuz RNG :smiley:

    The easiest way to beat these triple cleansing rex teams is with a zfinn team. It's comical how badly I can beat these teams, more often then not my Poe doesn't even die. From what I hear fo and jedi can also dominate these Rex teams.

    Zader and boba can wreck a rex lead team. Cleanse doesn't do anything and culling blade will one shot anyone. And execute ignores taunt so peace out rex or chirrut.


    :lol: This team gets dominated by soo many comps. They just have the ability to hide in a sea of zauls and can't be reached by the people running these other comps....
  • Triple clense team? Instead of my 5 Siths I run usually, I'll take out one(usually zDooku)and run B2 with them. Any other Rex team I will run a full zMaul/Sith squad.
