Interesting counters to Revan
Was brainstorming possible counters to Revan today that I haven't seen anyone post about and I have a couple of really good options. If any of you guys have some inventive counters to the Revan meta, post below cause I'd love to see them to! My favorite thing about this game is theory crafting and finding ways to beat stuff. Yes I'd like to get Revan and I'm working on getting him, but that doesn't mean I won't be working to beat the other Revan teams I face. =)
So here goes:
Team #1
Lead: Boba Fett (zeta'd)
Bossk (zeta'd)
Barris (zeta'd)
Greedo (zeta'd)
Dengar (zeta'd)
Bounty hunters are modded for potency and gain a huge amount of max health. I've run this team and the weakest of the bounter hunters end up healing for 14-15K on a crit. Bossk/Dengar will heal for 20-23k. What does Revan's lead give Jedi? Crit chance........so.....Zarris is back and better than ever in a Boba Fett lead team. GK teams used to do well with Zarris but his lead only gave 60% max health to Jedi/clones. Bounty hunters can easily gain more than 150% max health and thus have more HP to gain when being critted. Yoda and Ezra hit hard, but do the rest of the jedi hit hard? not more than the BH's will heal for. BH's will survive the hits and Boba will counter another aspect of Revan, that being Revan's ability to revive people (and Jolee's ability as well i might add). Boba Fett's execute ability does lots of damage to people who have lots of buffs and Yoda usually has lots of them over his head and shares them with everyone else. So lots of targets to execute! Boba Fett takes them out and they can't be revived. This is a fast way of taking out someone permanetly and much faster than Nihilus's Annihilate special ability. What if Revan focuses everyones attacks on Zarris? If you mod Zarris to have a lot of hp she'll survive just fine. Yoda and Ezra are the only ones going to do a decent amount of damage. Everyone called in on the attack does 50% less damage, so they are critting but doing less damage. Thus Zarris just heals to full and the attack really means nothing.
Team#2
Lead: Bastilla
GMY
GK
Geonosian Spy
Sun Fac
Geonosians....really?! yes really! Have you looked at the Geo Spy's kit recently?
https://swgoh.gg/characters/geonosian-spy/
Upon looking at his kit, he seems to be a really good versus what you see on other peoples bastilla/revan teams. Revan starts everyone with Tenacity Up for 1 turn. ok......so now Geo Spy can kill them in one shot! Thanks for having a buff over your head thereby triggering the bonus damage from his special! Can Revan take out the Spy before he does it? No. Reason being is that the Spy starts the battle in stealth and will stay in stealth as long as he keeps scoring crits, so no first turn marking of the spy is possible against all jedi revan teams. Sun Fac is usefull because he counters and removes buffs and inflicts crit chance down while being hard to kill. Did you notice something about the Spy's kit that works with Sun Fac? Any time another geonosian inflicts a debuff, Geo spy gains 70% tm. So geo spy becomes just that much more deadly. Bastilla lead is there to do one particular thing..., give lots of buffs to Yoda who is turn shares them with the Spy to use up. Battle meditiation will spread a ton of positive effects on the Geo spy and most likely the opponent also has a bunch of status effects also. Actually the more the better! Doesn't matter to the spy. He does his special and nukes the target. 40% per status effect dispelled......that is a lot of damage! So much damage in fact that no one could really survive it all. GK is there to tank, give crit immunity, and call in mass assists. Yoda just does what Yoda does, do lots of damage and protect your team from debuffs.
Anyways, this is what I came up with as a cool way to counter Revan. What's your ideas?
