How fast is your rey? If I'm not mistaken mine is at 230 and I have yet to fight a faster Vader. There's one at 242 and my rey always goes before

227. Turns out that Vader was 243, not 252. He still went before JTR.

I run ep lead and my goal is to get jtr out of the way then bb8 since illuminated Destiny is a killer. Usually i fracture jtr ir kenobi if he is annoying by taunting all the time. Then i kill jtr then bb8. Sion removing buffs helps slow illuminated Destiny since it removes secret intel. So if i were doing it the other way I would fracture sion so he can't remove buffs from the whole team then go after ep since he can get several mass stuns. Then nihlas since he has anhilate but you probably have time to kill palp first. By then you should have illuminated Destiny and be able to kill the rest. But my palo lead team can easily take jtr teams 10k gp higher so it is difficult. Also keep in mind r2 and gk give the opposing vader more speed from his unique. I don't have jtr so that's just my observations from facing jtr teams.

Could you mod up your R2 for enough extra speed to also beat Vader, since R2's starting with 16% TM from BB-8? That way, you can open with stun on Vader.

Sion is your biggest threat. It isn't hard to make your bb8 and r2 go first if you don't get sion fractured he clears all the buffs bb8 and r2 put up so they don't get anything by going first. Most of the time the opposing bb8 and r2 go before my vader but i just use sion to clear the buffs and then start killing them before they catch back up.

I forgot about r2. If he's faster than Vader, then he will give rey even more TM to go right after him.

Second. I start the battle with bb8 rolling, rey blocking thrawn, and then R2 using burn (better than smokescreen because sion will dispel it right away). If r2 is faster, you can still do the same

My Thrawn is 264, he can fracture Sion provided he can go before Vader. I fought a 200 speed Vader after I started this thread, and I destroyed them.

I guess, like always, it just comes down to speed and TM manipulation.

just more proof how OP speed is on the game

I was able to add 8 speed to JTR without sacrificing speed on BB8 R2 or Thrawn, so she's now 235. We'll see if that helps today.

So the reverse question, how do I beat JTR with the listed Sith team? My Vader is 228. What is kill order?

This team is all over my shard. I've just recently switched from CLS Han to JTR BB8 (rest of squad is GK Thrawn R2). What's the best way to beat this team? I just faced one with a 252 speed Vader, my BB8 went first but then he force crushed and it was pretty much over from there.

Thanks all.

I use same team except I use CLS in place of thrawn but the method can be adapted. BB8 should always go first then you want R2 to go next... when facing the team you are talking about use R2 to inflict burning (stuns are too unreliable) this should also expose a number of characters. Expose will speed up the cool down on illuminated destiny and remove TM everytime you use a special move. Force crush shouldn't be an issue as it will instantly give JTR enough TM to debuff thrawn and get taunt on GK next sion or nihilus will probably go. The reason I use CLS is he counters both sion and nihilus inflicting speed down (if you get him fast enough he can also stop sion from taking a go with is second attack). So to recap get secret Intel going, inflict burning, use JTR to debuff thrawn then throw everything you can at sion. If thrawn doesn't get ability block first time around try and stun him... when facing that team it is all about controlling thrawn and taking out sion. after that take out thrawn then nihilus or palp and finally vader
