Hi All.I'm a bit behind on the reading regarding thawn. I've seen people saying he may struggle against zmaul/SA....but I was just about to change my arena team to the annoyingness of rex/chaze/DN. I realise we don't have him yet and we don't know anything for sure but is the consensus that he will or won't be a problem to the rex lead team above? (p.s haven't got GK yet :-( so R2 will be my 5th eventually)

He'll have to be fast enough to fracture Baze. Problem is, zMaul and zQGJ teams will be faster. It's hard to say until he's actually in the arena:

he wont beat thembut rather join them in place of DN.

No counter attacks. No feeding chirrut tm. Fracture in baze will be amazing. And since he has the taunt, we can almost guarantee he is fractured.

The only issue I see is on Def thrawn will dispel when not strategically the best option to remove dn health down gained on start of turn. This seems to make thrawn less reliable on Def against Rex 3xdispel/dn.

I want to know if both conditions need to be met--thrawn and fellow ally require a debuff.

If they created a new ability that just causes the AI to cleanse every turn then the character is broken. This would affect every empire character.

I dont know, we saw MobileGamer fracture on Baze out of the gate and it really didnt hinder the other team much or provide him with an advantage too much over Dispelling Baze other then it cant be evaded or resisted.

Of course MobileGamer wasnt running an optimal Empire team or team for Thrawn but I am hesitant to think it is amazing just yet on Baze. There might be better toons to use it on maybe faster toons like Chirrut where you can take away more then 1 turn from them.

IDK we will see how it plays out but over all I dont see this shifting the meta unless one plays one the team that makes their money off of debuffs like Resistance, R1 ect.
