Hitting a wall with Bastila - help me beat Traya!

Current team: 4* zBastila (L), zzGMYoda, zEzra, GK, 5* zHermit Yoda. All are gold-ringed except Basti and Hermi. I get stopped somewhere around 15-20 in the arena. I started playing Nov 2015 - the month the game launched. So it's a pretty competitive shard.

I can take down Emperor Palpatine (L) teams - no problem. Every time.
I can take out mirror matches by swapping Ezra out for my G12 zVentress. All it takes is one round where WE have our buffs and they don't (because Ventress took 'em off) and they're done for.

I. Cannot. Beat. A Traya lead.

For those of you reading this and using Sith, whenever I see someone in the arena running Palpatine lead *but they have Traya in their party* I'm like, BAD MOVE! ...I can crush Palp lead. You should always run Traya lead if you have her. At least against Jedi.

Anyway, the team that's killing me is Traya (L), Sion, Sith Trooper, Palpatine, Thrawn. I spend all my time trying to kill the Trooper, and as soon as I do, I'm blocked by Sion's taunt and have to work on him. By the time he's almost dead, he's got his super-resurrect on and it's pointless. Traya's isolated GK, Thrawn's fractured someone (probably Ezra or GM Yoda, my primary damage dealers) and it's game over.

I don't know if this is a matter of my Bastila and Hermit not being 7-starred and G12? Or if at that level of arena play, their mods are just better than mine? Or if I'm missing something on strategy or team composition...? I've tried replacing GK with zOld Ben (switching tanks), and zEzra with zOld Ben (TWO tanks), and zEzra for zVentress (to dispell taunts, which is pointless, because they come back too quickly) and zEzra for Visas (but she's not zeta'd yet and only G11, so she isn't impressing me much).

Any advice from any of you? And for those of you running Traya lead, feel free to smirk and feel good - that team is a headache and a half!

    Traya counters Bastilla...I'm sure you could find a team that'd beat her on offense, but on defense...never.


    Haha, I don't think anyone is trying to find anything that has a chance at winning on defense at this point. Traya is just too good. Anyone with her on offense can just auto win every battle against teams that don't have her I'd imagine.
  • no team holds on defense. I’m on a 2015 shard with the top 10 all sporting the traya, sith trooper combo and here’s a little video of my team against these types of teams. 100% win rate on offense.

  • Wow, @JasFonz, thank you. That was really inspiring. I am literally one character off from being able to do that. I'm definitely focusing on my Nihilus now. =)
  • I run zbastila, zyoda, zezra, zob and DN. Win 90 percent of the time. Ob taunt helps a lot. DN helps remove taunt

    Bastila is uselles after Last update, loose most of time. I give UP and use Palptine/Traya again. Before Last upgrade was easy win against Traya teams, now you loose most of time even with top molds, all old equipments XII and GMY and Bastila with one New equipment xii


    I remarked the same thing. You now get more debuffs and Pain is inflicted easily. It seems Bastila is kind of broken again.
  • I run bastila lead, gmy, Ezra, GK and thrawn and beat traya leads pretty constantly. Kill order is traya, ep/nihilus, sion, thrawn, ST last. Use your thrawn to fracture Sion and get traya quick before ST traps you. All downhill from there. Group hug from kenobi and call gmy to assist ezra on traya and she should be dead or close to it.
