Can someone explain this team?

Heard of turn meter manipulation?

Absolutely, but who was the catalyst? Phasma, Han, or Daka? I don't have Han, nor do I care to, but is he the one doing this in combination with assist potential with the others? Even non-taunting?

And why they did what they did.

I was destroyed by this team today. Arena, spot 28 fighting for 23.

Let me re-phrase: I was AMBUSHED by this team today. Haha. Even though I lost, I was thoroughly impressed by the performance. I quite literally got 4 hits in, then they took the rest of the match.

This was the team:

Phasma (Lead)
Qui Gon Jin
Old Daka
Rey
ST Han

It was like a fireworks show of turns, over and over again. Can someone breakdown this synergy and why it worked how it did? It was amazing.

If you need to beat that team, you just need to make sure you run at least one toon with dispel. Han is the key there.

Yes, STHan, every time you hit him while he is taunting, the team gains turn meter. Every time you hit him, he has a chance to remove your turn meter. At the start of his turn, he'll remove turn meter. When he uses his basic, he had a good chance to gain good turn meter. Daka is a pro at keeping characters stun locked, especially with phasma lead giving bonus attacks. Phasma's victory march gives turn meter. QGJ gains and removes turn meter on his basic attack, again helped by phasma lead bonus attacks. Rey has huge dps, who will feed off the turn meter control, and wipe your toons out swiftly.

Sometimes the situation calls for stunning/dispelling him and burning has ass down before he can turn the tide

Thank you for clearing that up. I have played against ST Han since he went into the "meta scene" and never faced this issue. Makes sense the way you broke it down with everyone's combined contributions in that specific build. Guess I'll be steering clear of that combo for a while.

Cheers guys.

It's Phasma leader probably getting extra procs on other toon assists. Plus QGJ basic reducing your TM with STHAN doing the same. Then when STH is taunting, he grants insane levels of TM on an already fast team that hits hard. There was probably a good deal of RNG bad luck on your side but yeah that can certainly happen if you went in under geared and under leveled.

Edit: hey BTW OP, thanks for having a good sense of humor about it instead of coming to the forums to cry or ask for nerf. I was thoroughly entertained by your post.

Haha, that's why I call him Saint Han of Turn Meter Manipulation.

This team can be easily beaten. I know because I use this team but sometimes I switch Rey with GS. ... against droid teams I don't even last 2 minutes.

You're going to want a dodge lead, and RG to survive that opening wave. Also, look how low your arena power is, you've got no chance with that sort of a power difference.
