Best defensive Traya Team

Offense I was probably going to go thrawn/nest or thrawn/trooper. Just looking for what holds best on defense at the moment. I don’t have to worry about other traya squads on defense. Only thing I need to be good defensively against is Bastila, nightmare, and jtr

Probably want trooper and Nest then. Nest will stop nightmare, trooper will stop bastila from being able to target traya immediately, and traya lead in general neuters RJT.

Thanks. I’ll try that first.

Basically everyone top 20 in my shard use Traya (L), Dn, Sion, Thrawn and SiT. Bastilla teams start appearing only from rank 20 and lower (might get in top 20 but usually drops back out after).

I think think it would technically be Traya Sion DN Wampa Enfy. The magma counter doesn't work vs this squad because it has too many counter attackers. Obviously it is an expensive squad though.

This is great until your opponents get Traya, then Sion won't be taunting and you'll want to sub in Sith Trooper for someone, and probably Thrawn. He's not a "major" liability against other Traya squads, but can provide some issues, however he's definitely the one you want in there with Bastila teams emerging to get the offensive wins as the other sith won't really be as useful as they can't stick debuffs as much so you either want DPS or irresistible debuffs.

Sure he is. Opposing Thrawn fracturing one of my toons makes the fight easier; you attack him and he counters, doing 20% damage to himself. Plus whoever he hits with his counter now has a speed buff! No need to worry about ability blocks or stuns since those just get cleansed anyway.

And come on, Bastila teams are not a threat to Traya teams when defending and you definitely don't need Thrawn. Put EP in there and watch Ezra kill himself every time he has a turn (40% damage to himself when Papa Palpatine is in there) or put in Wampa and watch him wreck GMY through foresight and neuter the whole team.

I wouldn't call him a major liability, I would just say he's not the best choice defensively there. However if he does happen to get fracture onto someone useful he can be a pain. He's still useful, he just isn't the smartest on D. However you didn't note the fact that if Thrawn is debuffed when he counters, that also heals your sith 10% health as he takes damage for counter attacking.

As for Bastila, a very fast Bastila team is still going to be able to win on offense no matter what you run on defense. zBastila, zHoda, zGMY, zEzra, zOB on my shard can beat everyone on offense. He just needs to work around the Sith Trooper taunt at the beginning and and he can take out priority targets really quickly. The only way he might really struggle is if you had Trio, SiT, and GK to just stop the jedi from taking out traya too easily with the multitude of taunts.

On offense the Bastila teams are great, but you have to be well modded and play it smart. On defense you lose one of those.

EDIT: If you want to run 2 tanks GK is not a good choice. Traya teams have at least 40% crit avoidance so GK wouldn't be taunting enough to justify having him in there. If any tank in that 5th spot I'd go with zKRU.

Bastila gives CC up to GMY, GMY spreads buffs, Ezra will for sure crit, the rest might not, but it should at the very least GK will probably get triggered to taunt. Theres only 2 dispels on the team, plus GK is extremely useful even without his taunt getting triggered every turn.

zKRU would be useful too, but I would find him more useful in that he would counter attack and spread tenacity down or remove foresight at the very least. His AI isn't the smartest, and isn't that useful after using his stun imo. He'd easily be more of a liability on defense than thrawn would.
