Chaze, GK, zBariss. The unbeatable combo.Chaze and GK have both been complained about ad nausem on these forums so that is not what this post is about. I personally feel those 3 characters are balanced based on the investment required to attain them. The issue with this team is zeta bariss and the proliferation of passive abilities activating buffs/dispels/heals affecting teammates. The dramatically buffed base speed of Bariss turns a speed modded bariss into dispel machine that limits the ability to counter this team with ability and buff blocks. Combine this mechanic with a passive 20% heal when crit and the passive auto taunt mechanics of GK and Baze and you have a nearly (if at all) uncounterable combination.The strength of Chaze and GK is untouchable due to previously mentioned acquisition costs. My suggestions, limit this huge power creep by reducing the speed of Bariss, changing her Zeta to her leadership ability, or allowing ability block to stop her passive dispel/heal (probably complicated).Does anyone have any reliable method to beat this team? Area of effect dispellers help but I've found the speed in which the buffs are reapplied are too great to be of significant counter. This video illustrates the power of this team:https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=6JYCgZbJQac

Bariss' zeta really is terrifying lol. I feel like half the characters in the game if not more literally can't cause more damage than the ability heals for. The obvious plan being to try and apply healing immunity or shock hasn't worked for me. If I manage to apply shock or immunity to say, kenobi, I usually get one good shot in before bariss either auto cleanses or kenobi or chirrut cleanses. In most cases you apply the debuff, then the debuff gets removed before your next character goes. Is she the only toon with a passive zeta that affects the entire squad? All the other zetas are either leader abilities or unique's that bolster their own power right? Bariss's really does feel like something that should have been a leader ability - not a passive that has no faction restriction. even the maul teams are running her in arena lol xD She goes in any team and instantly makes the toons nigh indestructible. I'd love to see some methods for attacking this squad! :Dedit:That all said, I suppose this is why nihilus is going to have a one-shot kill as well as be able to guarantee Sith won't crit and trigger her ever lol (as leader). I guess we should either play zariss or play sith for now?

I ran into zBarriss, GK, Chaze and a high mod/level Kylo in the 12th mode of GW on Tuesday. It took two squads of teams that can finish top 3 in my shard to take out Chaze and Kylo. After that, there was no stopping GK and zBarris against any 5 I could throw at them.

I've actually beaten this team only a handful of times. It is by no means easy...but there is a specific attack sequence. First priority is to disable Baze's taunt immediately. Then work the rest.Palpatine required...

first remove all protection from barriss somehow then let buffs and debuffs on her increase and one shot her with bobba

Bariss is a pretty tanky jedi as is, but with GK leadership you can add 30% health and 70% defense. My particular opponent's bariss has 30.8k life. So roughly 40k with the leadership and factor in the 70% defense you'll need a lot of buffs/debuffs.

If you're empire maybe consider switching your tank from shore to baze for the extra dispel? The update also lets him convert hot to dot as well which could be useful
