Will Thawn beat rex/chaze?
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'm still planning DT 1st and then Thrawn.
Increase cooldowns. Then fracture Baze, debuff with Tarkin, buff immunity GK with Krennic, Tarkin will go again from 90 percent TM gain and remove 50 percent TM and then DN will rip cooldowns again. Now their cooldowns are at 2. Gk is buffless and Baze is fractured.
Krennic still can stagger them to reduce TM again and DT will daze stun Chirrut and daze Rex. It's all roses.
Only reason I don't like this is because this will remove taunt from baze and give it to gk (I'm confident in 1 crit occurring) so now thrawn HAS to target gk.
Fracturing Kenobi isn't the worst thing. Shuts down his cleanse/retribution, and his taunt. So now, when anyone gets hit with a crit, they get crit immunity but you can still target them, meaning that you stop feeding the TM train.
Baze is more hearty, counters, gains a ton of tm, feeds tm to chirriut, auto taunts, and has two dispels.
Remove baze and we remove our opponent's ability to target anyone. Our taunts will force them to hit tanks. GK is a very good toon, but I prefer to to lock baze. This is in our control also. I always look at the defense side of the team. I'd rather know who my team will target and minimize the weaknesses.
When we have to face both, it can brutal. Take out 1 tank and it's manageable. Take out the tank who can dispel my tank, now we are cooking.
Against a traditional triple cleanse, it's functionally irrelevant -- you're going to have 1 taunt presumably (Shore). Leave Kenobi in and he will call everyone to beat on Shore -- including DN. There goes Shore's taunt. Baze's taunt comes less frequently than Kenobi's, if you target anyone who isn't Chirrut.
The way to deal with it for defense is to have Thrawn faster than DT, so the fracture on defense is against Baze, while giving you the option on offense to swap TM with DT to start if you want to fracture someone else.
I will have thrawn faster.
Gk hits wimpy, Rex hits wimpy, DN and chirriut are the damage dealers. Removing troopers buffs means he will just taunt, crit immune and heal everyone. It's not a threat.
You know where the damage comes from vs Empire? Baze and his aoe. He can remove up to 50% additional damage based off hp from empire + chirriut assist. Anyone who doesn't recognize this and battle baze with a full empire squad deserves to eat that full board. Gk does nowhere near the damage baze is capable of.
