JKR BEWARE! ...and beyond.
So I have a basic JKR squad with above average speed. Through trial and error I figured out a way to beat DR squads with average and even above average power/speed. I was winning 4 out of 5 battles ...

A couple of thoughts
1. There are definitely daus where it seems rng is against you. Most days I climb to 1st with no refreshes or one refresh. But there are days where it seems like you can't win a battle even when facing the same opponents with the same team. Is it a secret nerf? No. But I imagine it feels worse when using a lesser team to start with.
2. I was also disappointed when they reduced the hard node to 5 from 8. But after seeing that they haven't released may toons to hard nodes recently, I understand why they did it. I'm ftp and pretty well caught up on hard nodes. Sure there are toons I have left to finish but they aren't vital ones. I'm down to farming rose tico and lobot just in case and just farming gear with all remaining energy.
And I get it that newer accounts aren't there yet. But the change doesn't really slow your longterm farms. Sure it slows the panic farm for the next legendary/journey characters but if you spend all your energy on nodes that jave good characters and refresh energy, you'll still get there in the long run as long as you farm other future needs with the left over energy.
And they did make ship nodes better. So as long as they balance future releases it should be fine. That being said, it would be great if they moved older non meta characters to more places to make it easier to catch up if you haven't been playing as long. Or if you just don't view that character as worth the hard node.
On point no.1,
I also experienced the same thing. Most noticeable from 3weeks ago.
I found that the AI behaviour changed. Especially in JKR vs DR. Now, most of time, they targeting jolee first, not jkr or others, which made me swap **** to GK for better survival rate.
My conclusion is, i think CG made such AI changes to up their meta team.
Not really what I was saying. I run darth revan with a 5 star malak nd gmy to get tenacity up on offense most days.
Most days I can beat the g13 malaks just fine. But there is rng involved. Like occasionally malak will put shock on the wrong person or other bad luck. Or occasionally I'll forget to check the mods on the darth revan and the team gained enough speed to be one faster. Or they changed enough that the turn order changed and makes it harder.
The point is that once you lose a few battles, it is easy to get frustrated and start making mistakes. So a little rng can sprial into a bad day in arena. I rarely change my team or strat (unless I get a character that works better ike unlocking malak). If they were changing the ai, then the bad luck would continue for more than a day. It would continue indefinitely. That isn't what I noticed.
