So already in my shard is this lovely team:http://i.imgur.com/Y1sfz7t.pngLed by this man:http://i.imgur.com/BCDpbhm.pngI fought 10 times. Lost every time. I haven't lost on offense in over a month.http://i.imgur.com/Tmq9NCe.pngTypical result:http://i.imgur.com/9sNQXG8.pngClosest I got:http://i.imgur.com/UHqarN9.pngI'm at a loss. No clue how to beat this team. It's all counters, stealth, foresight, taunts, debuffs and cleanses with 3 toons that hit like a truck attack. Any thoughts? EDIT: A couple shard mates in our discord chat took a shot including a zQGJ and Zaul lead with no luck. UPDATE: This team was eventually beaten by Rex lead, Thrawn, R2D2, Nihilus, and Shoretrooper. Guy isn't in our shard chat so I don't have specifics but do see that he remodded his R2D2 to be faster than everyone on opposing team (by a hair). So the key is as a few of you have noted, you need an ultra fast Thrawn, ultra fast R2D2, taunting tank like Shore, and everyone's favorite standard toon, Nihilus.Glad to see it can be done without GK.

Oh I forgot about the stuns. Lots of stuns. Should note that last pic is not as close as it looks. I had insanely good RNG and fired off annihilate twice.

Get your own CLS team with better mods. Game is officially broken.

Even my 274 speed Thrawn giving TM to DT for cooldowns did more harm than good. They all counter and DT typically gets near death or stunned and everyone gets more TM. Ahsoka downed my Vader in one whirlwind hit.

Bumping over to correct sub forum.

Change Vader for Shoretrooper or another tank

Not trying to start an argument here ... just wondering about the logic. What use is a taunting tank, if Luke can dispel the taunt and add buff immunity at the same time, so no re-taunt? That makes Shoretrooper absolutely useless, does it not? Or am I missing something obvious?

No, no, you are right...
Anyways Vader is not the best option

I guess since taunting tanks don't work, we revert to the strategy used before Baze and Shore were introduced... Raid Han. Stun their Luke. Then fracture him, and move on from there, I guess. Sucks to have a Raid Han in an otherwise nice empire squad tho.

Very simple answer, if DT uses his special then the cooldowns are increased by one. If DN uses his special then their cooldowns are increased again. With his Thrawn going first and giving tm to DT, Luke won't be able to use his dispel for 1-2 turns (if DN gets him too). That means the counters are gonna go into Shore and keep the important people safe, for at least a turn or two. Without the tank the counters go right into your attackers and bam, battles over before you can react.

Well, that is true too, I don't use DT, so I didn't remeber that :neutral:

aye well said. I knew I must have been missing something! (which is stupid of me, since I run a Thrawn, DK, DT, Shore, DN team lol)

Maul lead is probably your best chance to counter the daze. And maybe put in logray for the 2nf AOE daze?

Would it be hard for you to switch to Luke R-2 Han Leia and Thrawn?

So I found the team as I noted in my edit to original entry. It's so simple yet so effective. Rex lead, thrawn, r2, nihilus and a horribly undergeared, g9, 5 star shoretrooper.
