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...

I had a thought I'm gonna try. The problem is the only way to have a shot at countering vader requires Wat.
I remoded my Holdo for max tenacity. This gave her 130% tenacity. Combined with RH Finn who gives 50% tenacity to resistance allies while he is inspired, she has a 180% effective tenacity. If you ran Rey, Holdo, RH Finn, RH Poe, Wat it MIGHT stop the vader counter. You might also need to mod Rey for tenacity to resist the DOT debuffs from Vader.
This team should start with Wat deploying tank tech on Holdo, so she taunts whenever she has protection. With her tenacity she will resist IPD's target lock better, so she won't be buff blocked. Fast Finn and Poe should easily go before vader since this team won't include jedi or rebels, so vader only get +40-48 speed from his unique.
This team can still be countered easily if they add raid han to their vader team tho. Han always shoots first and can stun Wat before he can apply tank tech, or possibly kill Wat outright if your Wat isn't relic. Since vader only really seems to need 4 people (vader, palp, IPD, thrawn) to effectively win vs Rey, the 5th slot can have Han without negatively impacting the team. It will at least pull their Han from the rebel team tho. However it also costs you Wat.
