Countering Darth Vader for GL's
What squads would you use to counter Darth Vader with his support crew (wat/Thrawn) on defense? Obviously the teams with Darth Vader will not hold on defense against a GL team, but i wanted to explore...

Tenacity up wont stop it, nor will tanks. Players will simply run zeta IPD. They TM swap from thrawn to IPD. IPD uses his dispel and target lock, which blocks buffs, so no taunting works. Then they still fracture Rey. Rey team is simply too defensive and Vader's offense ramps up crazy high and fast at relics with culling blade.
A relic L3 with super high tenacity MIGHT help, since she should self dispel, but if they have their TM order correct its nearly impossible to stop. Since theyll have IPD just slower than Thrawn, so thrawn can TM swap, IPD dispel, thrawn fracture rey all before your team can do anything. And since IPD dispel and buff block is not an attack L3 wont self dispel or counter to restore taunt.
There is really no reliable way to block the Vader counter using any Rey team I can think of. You can attempt to mod for tenacity on your team but thatll just make for an easier counter for other teams since you'll have to sacrifice offense or speed to get enough tenacity
