Wow, I'm loving that FOST is included on here. What has sparked this recent interest, are these teams you run or teams you have come up against?

It's a team that I fought in a GW12 and that I couldn't beat. 3 of them counter (if you count Thrawn when fractured) + retribution + 2 dispeller on their basic (FOST and DN), 3 tanks, 1 cleanser. Great team.

AND a OHKO toon. Quite a lineup.

Agreed, I'll have to try that. Although to be fair FOST can only dispel when he has advantage.

I'm having success with:

Thrawn (L), Tarkin, DT, Nihilus, Shore.

Basically you have problems only with teams with faster Thrawn, right?

Is DT replaceable?

Idk why u ask me, but I don't run this team. Still I guess answer in no... DT has great utility with deathmark, aoe dispell and cd increase. Very annoying when paired sith DN

But he gains advantage when he taunts and he's still the only tank who cleanse before taunting, so under AI's control, it's good.

Thrawn, GK, DN, Shore, ATF is working really good for me.

Hey, you don't have to sing his praises to me, I run First Order and have him Zeta'd haha. Just didn't want anybody who happened to read this to get the wrong idea.

GK, Zariss, R2+2, Thrawn Zeta, and DN. Perfect time out team (aka defense team)

Oh, that sounds interesting! Wenn did you start playing? I also want to switch to a GK (L), zBarriss team, but was not sure which other toons to add. Do you win on offense easily with that team?

These are the two teams the ti whale on my shard was deciding between. He decided Tarkin lead because he saw how well I was holding with it. He hasn't moved since he switched to it from Thrawn DT DN GK ShT yesterday.

The Rex squad mentioned is better when your mods don't outclass your oppenent.

I think Tarkin is the top end meta, and Rex FOST is for those whose mods aren't better than the rest of their shard by a pretty good amount

Offensively it leaves a bit to be desired, but it's similar to any triple cleanse team in that DN is your source of damage. Choose your fractured target wisely and watch the enemy team crumble.

But it plays extremely well on defense. Thrawn fracturing really any character putting them out of commission and ability blocking everyone tends to draw out a battle severely. If he fractures DN you're essentially just sitting there waiting for fracture to burn out. On defense this is precious time wasted. It's not counterless at all, but it's basically a large game of peekaboo, with one of your random characters out of commission at any time. Then when you think you got it you're either Ability blocked, stunned, or forced to hit GK/stealthed target. Resetting the entire cycle over again. Zariss consistently dispels, and with the tankyness of every character no one is getting one shotted, and Zariss can heal and put up defense up.

Protection recovery from Thrawn, and the HP and defense boost of his lead, Zariss, and R2 all increase his vitality immensely.

I'm running this team with success against all but vader lead.
