CLS Lead Arena Team Is Nuts

So already in my shard is this lovely team:

Led by this man:

I fought 10 times. Lost every time. I haven't lost on offense in over a month.

Typical result:

Closest I got:

I'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.

    Wow, how essential was ATF?


    I got ATF neutralized with a fracture, she never got whirlwind off. I may have gotten a little lucky with cooldown increases since my Nihilus doesn't have a zeta on unique. I downed Luke first once I had Annihilate ready, kept stunning GK and the tenacity up from Rex prevented everyone from getting stunned by R2 so I could ignore him and focus on dispelling taunt from Old Ben and working down GK. I admit I was a little worried a couple times but Old Ben still hits like a wet noodle. Considering this was my first attempt with not only this time but also first time using Rex and Shore in an arena squad, I think I did pretty well against a whale team sporting god like mods and multiple zetas.

    Maybe an Emperor come back? His -32% to Rebel potency and Evasion should prove useful, as well as Tarkin's nasty debuffs and of course Deathtrooper always like to chomp on some tasty Rebel scum

    Maybe now is the time for some Emperor zetas ;)

    Right now I'm a little away from where I want my CLS team to be, but here is my fun current comp:

    CLS lead, Han (Zolo in about a week), zzr2, zthrawn, shore... Playing around with srp who I have maxed and at 200 speed but find him only good as a second taunt; will max Obi but he's down the zeta list for now.

    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?


    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.


    I won't work if R2 is faster than your Thrawn, not such an hard task tbh.
    Nihilus will only get 50% TM chance at best. If one is using Raid Han with Luke it could be even worse since one of your key toons could be stunned on first round.

    I've got a feeling the real pinta team will be raid Han r-2 Luke Ahsoka Thrawn.
    With Thrawn pitching to Ahsoka and r-2 pitching to Luke
