Any tips to eliminate GK taunt on revan team?

I use ep lead and a top revan has just switch to this setup. I have 2 fights left and want to drop him so I can sit top 5 like I can’t be beat as well lol.

I have issue with force crush initiating taunt. And of course he goes first and I have to fracture thrawn after. Maybe more speed on ep to try to get shock in after buffs r removed but have to work with what I have now.

    special dmg doesnt trigger taunt, sometimes i can take a key character out before gk taunts then i kill him


    Special damage can and does trigger GK's taunt. It's just less likely to since it has a much lower crit % (and deals higher damage in general to balance that out).
  • So it sounds like different lead is solution I only have ep Vader sion nihilus thrawn to work with. The baby revans have switched to GK as well it’s no longer a one fight thing they all have different jedi set ups with mods.

    Their power lvl pushes close to top whales with the best jedi. This is who I have to compete with much easier with Ezra setup my ep seems to be useless lol.

    Frankly, you should use a different team. EP lead is never going to work well against Revan. Also, no one can give you advice without knowing who else you're using and who else you have available. I get around GK by using C-3PO to hit him with confusion, dispelling his taunt with Chewie and killing everyone else fast before he gets cleansed.


    I guess when I was beating the best Revans with my EP team it was a 3 month dream? Lol Isn't true at all actually. EP can destroy Revans just so you know in the future. ?

    Ep is not touching Revan. Good for you for being in a gimp shard though. Wish I was!
    By all means please explain how you do so, the teams you face, set ups and zetas and your own. I am always willing to learn! Post a video? The odds of you knowing something else no one does are slim but possible.

    On my shard, in a sea of Revan and CLS there is a single NS team and he sits in top 10 like a boss. His mods are completely insane but it can be done! He has been there for months.


    um, speaking of gimp shards...


    Why do you have a gimp shard, because I run NS and (when I am actually able to play) I run in the top 10 on a November 2015 shard, with mostly Revans in the 300+ speed. If you think NS are gimped against Revan teams you need to go back to school, because I love that he is the new supposed meta, because I chew through these guys like Revan was a little school girl. NS are still the meta not Revan, Revan is a joke team.

    It seems you have a distorted definition of "best"
  • Yeah it seems to get easier I threw zeta on ep for extra protection a few more sith raids will have it at g12 when he dies fights r much more difficult that should help
  • To OP's original question:
    Use Vader's basic on either Jolee or GK to prevent the taunt. Wait until after you fracture Revan (or whoever) to use Vader's AOE. Although don't get used to it sticking, since once your opponents Zeta revan's lead all their toons will start with tenacity up (which is the real reason it's a challenge to use EP teams). Not sure what teams people are using with EP against Revan (I assume EP, Triumvirate, Thrawn, but don't know because there are literally none on my shard), but you're going to have to come up with a way to deal with the very hi burst damage before your first turn (Badstila?) and a dispel plan for all the tenacity up spamming from GMY (Fracture/Sion?). Good luck.
  • Yeah I found fracture yoda as better alternative to GK lineup as without the foresight becomes a issue it has been effective although took a few fights to figure out he is better to fracture with that lineup
