Genosians defending in TWGenosians defending in GA.Guess who did the successful defendingYes, there are some teams that can beat Genosians. But those are teams you likely want to use for other counters. Right now I am seeing Genosians with a lot of defense wins. While the GP from Jawa isn't our preferred spending on GP, it probably is the cheapest effective counter to Geos. Jawa Engineer is the only 1 that is slightly challenging to 7*. Summation: People had been saying at least there is 1 reason now to have some GP in Jawa, but really there are 2. Geos are defending well in 2 parts of the game, and hilariously there are guilds currently losing TW because of a handful of Geo teams racking up 10-20 defenses when if only those guilds had a handful of Jawa teams it wouldn't be am issue.And there is 1 really big bonus: it is a team that would require 0 of your speed (type, primary, or secondary) mods and a great opportunity to use all of your critical avoidance arrows.

It's just not a good use of resources. Investing in 1 team because it is a counter to only 1 other team is not a good strategy.I'm at just under 4mil GP and have seen Geos on defense 0 times in GA. If I had built up my jawas, they would have gone to waste every time.

I counter this — there are zero (0) reasons to farm Jawas1. Opponents in GA will check your roster and if you have Jawas, GEOs become Offense 2. That leaves TW where the same thing can happen on swgoh.gg data review 3. There are higher priorities and Jawas only work if your opponent doesn’t look at rosters 4. They are a one trick pony that only works when the other person is careless — that is a hard sell to farm AND gear for something that is avoidable

I'm curious how high a gear level they need to be an effective counter?

Given GA is so focused on banners achieved, I'm happy to place my Geo's on Defense, let my opponent use Jawas (and barely get any banners, relatively) and this saves me another squad for Offense...Seems like a win-win for me, so go ahead and farm up your Jawas while I gear up a good squad.

Jawas as a viable counters to Geonosians in TW is true, but the fact that you're almost guaranteed to lose a few of them and the ones left alive probably won't be at full health makes them a last resort counter in GA at best.

Jawa are worth building up now, 2 reasons

A couple more:
5. There is still a massive RNG issue. If Scavenger gets focused down first or second, you've probably lost the match.
6. In GA, even if you win with Jawas, you're likely getting very few points because most of your team is dead.

Valid points. But considering how many people here are crying about their opponents being 1mil+ GP above theirs and have 345656 more g12 chars I think if somone has a ~g10 avg jawa team lying around (or can spent just a bit of gear to get them there) and just needs to mod his JE for speed, JS for CC and the rest a bit tanky, then this might be an investment worth it. For the top level of GAC it's going to be a different story for sure where every point matters.

I found Traya lead + 4 G8-10 Jawas (dropped the regular 'Jawa') obliterated a G13 double-zeta Geonosian team in TW.

Allowed me to save Sion (and perhaps others) to use under Palp or DRevan lead.

What you all are assuming is that CG doesn't have a light-side Tattooine event coming that will require you to use Padawan Obi, Padme, QGJ, C3PO, and R2 to unlock 10 year-old Anakin and Sebulba. You'll need the Jawa and Tuskens. Then 6 and 9 months later, respectively you'll need them all to unlock Chhief Nebit Fallen and Darth Urrorrororor
