3v3 GK Zarris
Although this team is not a powerhouse by any means it almost forces a good team to counter unless you want to stall and use multiple battles ti attempt to wittle them down. This post is to theory craft good counters to this squad without using prime teams like CLS or JTR. I will state some of the team I have thought of and think have merit. The third to this team isnt too important as GK Zarris is the gimmick but the most common variation I see is Fives as the 3rd.
Team 1: Wiggs.
- At first this seems like a bad idea due to it being a crit focused team fighting an anti crit team. But Zarris is great for countering regular crits not really big damage. If you can mod this squad with really high damage it can outdamage the heals to eventually take them out. The 3rd would either be a self sustaining DPS or Tank. People like STH or possibly Leia can do well in this spot.
Team 2: IG 88 Droids.
- This squad has a ton of potential in my mind but requires a good bit of investment in not so meta toons. IG 88, T3, and 3rd. The team doesnt have to be fully zetad by any means but if it were you have a deadly squad here. These 2 have great synergy of huge damage with mass debuffs. IG88 can inflict healing immunity through his basic and target lock on his unique(zeta). T3 provides huge damage boosts on his uniques(zetas) and a heal + Off up for 88. I think B2 could make a decent 3rd to constantly clear taunts, ten up, or any other buffs that may come along.
Team 3: Jango.
- There is a lot to say about this so I recommend you look at his kit. But pairing him with Embo and Cad or 88 as your third allows for nice damage and a ton of health/prot destroying attacks/abilities. Like I said it would take forever to explain the potential behind this but it definitely exists. Over time it would beable to lower the health pools they have to work with lowering they heals and damage required to finish them off. Embo with big hits. Cad with nice damage and crippling debuffs/damage especially to Jedi.
Team 4: zFinn
- Another team I wont be explaining much as 1. You should know why this team is effective. 2. Its easily countered by the enemy having decent Tenacity mods. Especially since these characters are already quite tenacious.
Team 5: IPD/DT cheese
- This squad has a lot of potential against of ton of squads but does use quite decent characters up. The general idea is you use IPD to blow up one of the characters(preferably Barris) then use DT to Deathmark another to get 2 very fast kills and then just kill the 3rd like normal. You can use EP to get IPD to self destruct even faster and cheaper then letting him get hit. But again IPD is a great toon especially if he is geared. So are DT and EP(if you use him) so its a decent bit to invest but if you dont have them highly geared this can make for a great cheese comp against this stall team.
