How do you beat Geos?

Needless to say that JKR works as well. But with all the videos out there of Geos beating (weak) JKR squads on offense, maybe it's worth mentioning after all that it goes both ways. Mark and kill Brood Alpha and the team falls apart. It hurts having to sacrifice a meta squad, but without zTraya it may very well be your only option.

I find going after Brood Alpha first with JKR is a bad move. Brood Alpha can be hard to kill through the equalization and can result in you losing if you can't manage to put out the necessary damage. It is better to pick off the weaker Geos first starting with Geo Soldier.

It has worked well for me so far. If your GMY has above 6,500 special offense, it doesn't take long to wear GBA down. With a relic, you can easily take him above 10k special offense these days. Throw in Ezra to make the initial damage burst from Direct Focus even more devastating.

People are ignorant of the new Acavenger mechanic. Also, ignore of modding the team for survival.

As it stands, for instance, I don't think a Phoenix team all gear and mods equal can beat a Jawa team.

And the funniest part is that it isn't just those teams. If you go all speed potency defense and health then the team is awesome. Forget their crit and crit damage. That's a joke compared to surviving long enough to put 100 TDs on the enemy team. You just need Jawa and Datcha to have nice speed and potency to lay down that stun and ability block constantly. JE to keep speeding them up with that crit up buff.

Grievous nuke team works realky well. Gg hk lead. Bb8 t3m4 and i use magna gaurd as 5th. G13 gg. Zeta on gg unique and t3 unique. Not much can stand up to it exept jkr

I just lost 4 matches, 2 of my top squads, to a Geo squad that was 40,000 less power.... really, it was 75k, with just one zeta on the whole team, and it was invincible..... i have never beaten a geo squad. I’ve used empire, rebels, Phoenix, Ewok, smuggler, bounty hunter, and I just lost with CLS, Han Solo, R2D2, C3PO, and Biggs, all gear 12, accept HS who is G13, Relic lvl 3. My Han is pumped with mods, but he never stunned a Geo, missed 4x, and his basic never fired twice!!! I even tried Enfys nest.....What is going on? How do you beat Geos? They feel totally broken!

Can you post your roster so we can help you form a strategy

If he lost with his Empire team and thought that his CLS team was the better choice then he doesn't get the mechanics. That said, he might have his CLS team pathetically modded if he could not kill GBA with a CLS team that has all that and a g13 relic Han

CLS is a better choice, but a flat G12 GBA is already hard to burst down, even with G13 han and Chewie with relics. Without any extra G12 pieces you can have Brood at 30k health and 90k+ protection, while still using a speed set to have him above 250-270.

Between equalisation with the rest of the geos, that health pool is not sonething you burn down with a Han-Chewie opening tap.

CLS can be a decent geo counter, if you have no other options, but ideally you'd target GS first and try to take him out with the opening shot.

Recently i used a palpatine team vs geos. Had some luck with the palp sie stun nur ist worked fine. With zpalp, geos cleanse results in massive TM, but it also worked without zeta

zEP, Vader, Thrawn, Tarkin and zIPD is a hard counter to bugs if there modded right.

Swap TM with iPD and get TL on Brute, use Vaders Forcecrush and Culling Blade to start the TM train, fracture Alpha push back TM with Tarkin and start applying shock to everyone after you use EP aoe stun. Then stun them again.

You need to control Poggle and Alpha with Vaders Abbility Block to make sure they didnt cleanse.
If you didnt have IPD go for DT an TFP instead of Tarkin and IPD.

Sadly, this squad is also a good Padme counter so i normaly use zzTraya and Sion against the Bugs.

Usually when I encounter Geos in GA I will either use Palpatine, or remove Grievous and Magnaguard from my Separatist squad for an easy 2v5 undersize win.

Palps can work on Geos..?

Did scavenger get killed immediately? He's the source of the TDs from his unique. If he dies it's game over.

Ha I'm an idi...ot (Guess I can't say this word even though it's in a self deprecating sense. It gets the ****** treatment). You're probably right and I just didn't notice it. I've got to speed bump up my engineer as you noted. I think I had him pretty fast, but as people have come around to the jawa counter an OK speed worked before and now people are making sure Geos are quick as well.

Nest can solo geos

I don't think so. At least every team I have seen use Nest against Geos also runs Qi'ra and Hyoda and still comes close to timing out.
