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.

My G9/10 jawas helped me pull off a GA win recently. I didn’t have another counter and went for it. I’m not sure if I want to gear them more, they are stun cuff hogs.

We will definitely be seeing more geos on D in both GAC and TW. They definitely require a strong counter.

I have 3 full good squads to gear and endless characters to g13. No way I have resources available to give jawas. I'm not even sure I'd want to invest the credits in them.

And I try to hit an average of 57 banners per attack.

I faced a g8 team with a g10 brood alpha. I used CLS just because I had never faced them before. Alpha was REALLY hard to kill. I was pretty surprised. At high gear they should be extremely nasty

Geonosians are a force for sure, but not so much so that it's worth sinking a ton of resources into an otherwise largely useless team to beat them. It's more of a bonus for the people that farmed them up for Crit Damage mods than anything else.

Any recent meta (revans, padme, traya, CLS) can beat them easily, and others can as well - Nightsisters can do it in a pinch, and I would guess zCarth could probably pull it off too if they were fast enough.

Jawas work, but they'll be absolutely trounced by any other team at an equal gear level, and it will be a very low-banner win since 3 or 4 of them will almost certainly die before the detonator festival commences.

Totally agree with this. I farmed my jawas for the CD mods and the hk lead droids and jawas back in the day. I have 3 at G10 and 2 at G9.

I’d like to take them a little higher, but they are at a stun cuff wall right now and I’d rather use those cuffs elsewhere. If I get a surplus of cuffs, I might gear them a bit higher.

As an anti droid team, it would also be interesting if they got a little rework to take on GG sep droid teams. Doubt that would happen, as prob not any revenue for CG in it, but would be interesting with everyone investing in G13 GG.

Reasons to farm Jawas:
1. Jawas are awesome. I love them.
2. Enough said.

Woah woah woah. Learn how to use Jawas. On a Jawa team, Jawa is your main damage dealer, as his basic deals 35% more to debuffed enemies. By far, the most useless Jawa is Dathcha.

No. What we are assuming is that it's not necessarily worth farming/gearing jawas as a counter to geos. If there is an event in the future where jawas are needed, then they become worth gearing.

Jawas don't attack, why does it matter? The only one relevant is scavenger for his unique
