So I got myself a shiny new Revan, immediately fully g12+'d and triple zeta'd, and have begun running him in squad arena along with the "standard" team: Bastila, GMY, Jolee, and GK. Jolee and GMY meditation are zeta'd as well.What I'm confused about is that Revan is widely reputed to be the anti-Traya, but I'm struggling to figure out how to beat a Traya team. The specific makeup is Triumvirate, Thrawn, and Sith Trooper.I get the first turn with my Revan, and using Direct Focus to nuke Thrawn seems like a no-brainer. After that, though, I'm at a loss for what to do. I get hit with a time-out no matter what I do:If I kill anybody other than Nihilus first, he ends up with a ludicrous amount of health from Lord of Hunger and I just can't kill him. And of course I start eating Annihilates and lose the war of attrition.If I do manage to kill Nihilus first, Sion inevitably ends up getting into Hatred and I can't kill and re-kill him fast enough to put him down for good. Again, time-out.And no matter who I choose, I end up getting my hits spread around when Marked drops because of the stupid Trooper. Between that and the massive crit avoidance from Traya, I just feel like I can't do enough damage to win.I'm sure there is a solution, I just can't seem to figure out what it is. Halp?

Try this kill order: Traya, Sion, Thrawn, DN, TrooperGetting Traya's unique of the field first is very useful. You can still have some problems if DN builds up a big enough health pool though. Thrawn isn't much of a concern. No matter who he fractures you can work through it.

Well, I just gave this a shot and it was ugly as sin, but I did manage to pull out a victory. I still had to kill Sion twice as he managed to get Hatred off just as Traya went down, and Nihilus as last man standing took a minute and a half on 4x auto to kill, but a win's a win.

Revan vs Traya just hit auto lol

I'm a fellow new Revan user. So hey! lol. Idk exactly but it might be strategy that needs to be tweaked. Idk. But to me it sounds like you might have a speed issue. What's your opponents speed (roughly. lol. Not exact numbers. Just a ballpark...) and what's your speeds? From what I hear you shouldn't hold back on speed for Revan. Put your fastest mods on him.

I am using the same squads. GMY is my fastest character, so gets first and get the boosts up. After that I use direct focus on Traya. Jolee and Bastila call GMY to assist every time.

Don’t kill Thrawn first. Direct focus on Traya to start. Kill her. Then kill Sion. Then I usually kill Thrawn, Sith Trooper and then DN last. Keep tenacity up on your toons as much as possible. Once you get rid of Traya it’s pretty easy to keep Nihilus stunned or ability blocked.

I have only just unlocked him, but I understand that the team is a very mod specific team.

Because Jolee / Bastilla and GK are relatively pillow fisted you are reliant on GMY and JKR to do the killing. I understand for this reason that Offense secondaries as well as humongous speed are mandatory on JKR and GMY to allow them to do their thing.

Secondly, if you're mods are not perfect, you could consider removing a support for Ezra to give you that extra ezra's worth of killing.

I always have a speed issue. I don't know how people have multiple teams fully decked out in 20+ speed mods, because I've been farming and slicing mods pretty much constantly for 6 months and I don't have a single mod with over 20 speed. I have one with 20, after slicing it to 6-dot, and it is on Revan.

Anyway, my Revan is at 275 before his leadership. GMY is at 249, Bastila 215-ish, GK and Jolee around 185. I'm not sure what the other guy's speeds are but they don't seem to be super crazy fast.

I may try that - my Ezra is only G10 with mostly trash mods currently, but I guess he's probably worth the investment anyway. Though the obvious choice to drop seems like Jolee, and I'm not sure how well everyone would be able to stay standing without him.

Whilst I don't agree with everything he says I think he goes into enough detail to be helpful.

Ezra is great, as a Jedi and Rebel he's a swiss army knife for GA and TW. Whilst I'm looking to drop him, now that I'm making the Revan jump, I've never regretted devoping him. (Plus a pilot)

I’ve seen a few people at the top of my shard run Chewie on their Revan team. He puts guard on GMY and helps burn through characters like Nihilus a lot faster.
