What are your and enemy revans' speeds? I see a different strategy than the usual 'hit jolee for resists' and I wonder do you allow revan to focus some1 on your team? Who is your 5th character?
I'm asking because I face revans in top10 modded for +150-155 speed and adding the 45 speed bonus from their leadership it would be nigh impossible for me to avoid getting focused if I attack some1 else and don't get resists on jolee.

First, the Revans I’m talking about are top tier, +159 speed is the one I beat to nab 1st place tonight.
I only included my strategy, not a play-by-play. Yes, Revan tags one of my toons with Focus. It varies every match. If he tags chewy, it never ends well. They do get many turns but usually my toons survive it.
Here are my toons and their speeds:
Cls 307(143), 3po 268(124), Thrawn 290(134), Han 232(84), Chewy 195(46)
I have Chewy modded for damage: 5277 offense, 50.21%cc and 180%cd

I also run CLS at 307 but Han at 272 and C3PO at 277 (effective 297). The fastest Revan on my shard is 325 (although granted they run Hoda instead of Bastila and lose 5 bonus speed) and when Han hits Jolee it grants everyone other than Thrawn +15% TM, which makes CLS go before Revan. He gets buff immunity on GK (usually), Han removes TM from Revan (usually), and Thrawn (only 279 speed) now goes before Revan and fractures him.

No one gets marked. A lot easier to win that way. Always stun Jolee to start IMO.

I usually only win against Revan maybe 30-40% of the time, but hitting Jolee first is usually the best strategy, as described here. Have you tried running R2 instead of Thrawn? I'm a little torn on which is a better option.

Yes I tried R2 and I'm probably 90% against Revan with Thrawn, much less successful with R2. Usually I only lose if GK resists BI (15% chance) or Revan resists TMR (15% chance two times). And even then I can probably win 50% of the time, it depends on who gets marked. But the ability to fracture Revan before he can take a turn (or fracture GMY if he gets mark off) is way more valuable than R2's stat boosts and smokescreen IMO.

How about a 323 speed Revan? ?

It’s very cool we have different strategies for beating Revan. I use my strategy because it utilizes the mods I have. If I had more and better speed mods I’d use them lol.
But I get a sense of pride knowing they can Mark one of my toons and I just shrug it off ?

Thanks for sharing @PepsiAddict. And nice work dismantling that Revan team. I just swapped R2 for Thrawn to try it out myself.

I got 3-PO up to G12, and it made him strong enough that Guard now applies to my CLS. I noticed a HUGE difference in damage output. CLS takes more turns, because his base speed is higher, and Call to Assist is functionally no different than taking an extra turn. I'm typically top 20 on my shard in the morning and fall to about top 50 at night.

The downfall of the yoda tactics is the focus of revan at the beginning of the encounter. If he targets chewie or thrawn it's over. The rng influence on the battle is too high at this point.
