How to split Separatists for defense?

So tonight I will finally get WAT and so I have been trying to figure out how to split up my separatist teams for defense. Here are how my current teams are set up.

Team 1: The regular GG Droids

Team 2:
Nute
Dooku
Asajj
Nest
Fives

I have geos and I use them on defense but I don't want to change anything up there.

I don't have Jango in the Nute team because I want to keep my BH viable for offense and I have Fives as my tank because he is my second best tank as of right now after Kenobi.

So where could I use WAT to make my teams the most viable?

Edit: Although my swgoh.gg is at the bottom I will just put it here too: https://swgoh.gg/p/755536779/characters/

  • I mod Dooku for ten/pot with high speed secondaries, mine is ~260 speed.

    What about damage? I thought that was important for him. Also, I thought Potency was not that important for him either.

    Edit: I know that he needs to land debuffs but there's something in his kit that guarantees debuff lands on GR. I guess it could be important for other things which is why I have the potency cross.

    Nute, Dooku, Wat, a tank, and Jango are the A version of this team. Not having Jango hurts the damage potential, but it isn't too terrible. Sub in Asajj instead and the team does just fine.

    As for the "a tank," there are a few really good options. Stormtrooper Han is an ideal fit here because his kit really gels with Nute since there's a lot of TM manipulation, and his biggest weakness - a difficult taunt- is made moot thanks to Dooku being able to stealth everyone.

    Kylo Ren Unmasked also works here thanks to all his health recovery, but also remember to mod him for health.

    And finally Nest goes well here as the tank, although there are a ton of good uses for her particularly on offense.

    True, but his damage output isn't that high compared to other high damage ones. I think he needs to be alive and delivering as many annoying stuns and shocks as he can.

    Ok yeah, thanks so much!
  • Defense #1 (Most Holds of all teams)

    Nute, Jango, Nest, Droideka & Dooku

    Defense #2

    GG, B1, B2, Magna & BB8

    Get yourself Jango as AV is doing nothing in that team. You mostly want to get used to using Wat on offense as he's an important counter to GL and is too good for defense.

    Huh, ok, so here's is the thing, I am at 1.4 mil GP so I am not sure whether or not this is true but I feel like WAT is more useful on defense because my roster is also fairly well balanced. I also don't have BB8 yet, and I used to keep Jango with separatists but that left me without my BH team for offense, he is such an important damage dealer on that team. Which is why I am stuck...

    Team 1: Standard GEO
    Team 2: GG droids, but take out droideka and plug HK.
    Team 3: Nute/dooku/wat/AV/B2 (now B2 is useful


    Huh, yeah that's actually a good idea! I have HK 7 star right now just for the future when I go for DR but I will see how that goes, thanks!
