Just wondering what the consensus is about what the best traya defensive team is for a traya lead team. From what I can tell, most agree the first four are traya, Nihilius, sion, sith trooper. What about the fifth though? Nest, thrawn, ep, or someone not mentioned?

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.

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.

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

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.

Note: This is for a November 2017 shard where only a few of us will have traya for the foreseeable future. The vast majority of the shard runs nightmare or jtr with some Bastila Jedi popping up now. Those with traya are almost all in the same guild so we don’t currently have to worry about other trayas.

Traya, Sion, Nihilus, Sith Trooper, +Thrawn or Nest.

These are pretty solid on D

I don’t think anyone is using the Magma counter in our shard. Haven’t seen it at least. Since we’re a nov 2017 shard, I’d be surprised if anyone has Magma geared up.

I have not seen that Wampa version, interested...

SiT goes so well with the Trio you might as well call them the Quad instead. Nest, Wampa, or EP (with the emergence of Bastila teams) are generally the best defensive squads. Thrawn is a great toon but the AI is too dumb to play his kit effectively on defense, plus he is a major liability against other Traya squads once the rest of your shard catches up.

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.
