This happens with too many teams. The newest and greatest Imperial Troopers (Gideon and Piett) can’t take down a 3 year-old character. Rebels, with their shiny new Threepio & Chewie can’t take her out either. I love using Enfys on offense against Ewoks or other weaker teams, but I’ve never had this kind of luck with meta teams. Maybe I should just put her on defense and hope for the best? Still, she should not be this strong! Nowhere in the lore does she “take a lot of hits and stall the enemy army” or anything. Perhaps her Unique ability can be reworked to say “If Enfys Nest takes more than 100 hits in a row without taking a turn, and has more than 5 debuffs, she losses all bonus protection for 1 turn.”

It's al,ost like you need to consider kits before going into battle and almost like not every team can beat any other team...

There's an easier fix. Don't use teams with high turn meter removal or turn meter gain against her. It's a mistake we all make at least once.

She's WAI, and doesn't even remotely need to be nerfed. You just need to learn to play better.CLS isn't that simple with an optimal line up. Han will remove TM on basic, so does Threepio, and also CLS if the target has speed down, which Nest is almost guaranteed to have.Then there is all the TM they are generating for themselves through debuffs. 2 on both CLS basic and special, Chewbacca has two moves that inflict debuffs, Confuse from Threepio, Chewpio has debuffs on basic and special. That's all before the Exposes generated by Threepio's unique. Decent rebels is a pretty much guaranteed time out against a slow Nest.

Hit nest, hit other things until she goes, hit her some more, hit other things...

I doubt this player has the kit knowledge to do that against a good Nest. He will probably accidentally hit her with an AOE on 2 of the Empire toons.

CLS is a high risk for stun lock. You are far better off just using Nihilus.
1000x > better off.

Stun-lock just means keeping the target stunned. That is actually desirable against Nest.

The problem with a CLS squad, as others have pointed out, is all the TM reduction they apply to the target. That is not stun-lock.

How do they help?

Kill one of the squad to gain Deathmark from Death Trooper.
