Multi-Attacks = Multi-Counter Attacks

Strategy. Don't use multi-attacks on counter toons. Freeze them, stun them, whatever. Science

I would like to see your arena team. Against CLS and friends, are you still using Old Daka?

I am getting my arse handed to me in Arena. I am still trying to build a viable team that does not look like Wiggs, Chaze R2 or Nil Palp Sidious Maul Dooku.

I have fought my share of CLS and R2. I know they suck not to have. I just had a Princess Leia 8 shot my Kanan because I targeted the wrong toon and the counter bonus battle was on. I am actually thinking of using a Jawa Droid pvp just to get away from the all dogone sameness. Just saw a viable Ewok team..all 7 star nice mods wicket is a beast. But I fear that won't last long in the top 20.

I was thinking of Logray for a while since he can apply Daze on everybody and remove TM. But of course, he's not yet farmable but if he should fit his role at 3*.

I also think a Boba lead with the 2 new Smugglers can be good since new Chewie also Daze (also not yet farmable). It can be good with Old Ben and a fifth (Leia/Han).

Fair enough. I just thought the way it was written specifically to say that the target ally is called to attack and Ezra then assists should it not be the target ally that gets countered rather than Ezra? Cody attacks and gets all clones to assist but only Cody gets countered not all the assists and because Cody's second attack is an assist he only gets countered once. Therefore assist attacks cannot be countered so why is Ezra being countered when it is described as an assist attack? I'm not complaining I'm just struggling to understand why it was written this way rather than "Ezra calls target ally first then Ezra attacks".

Well if characters did start counter attacking assists that could get fixed but it would be tedious watching 6+ counter attacks from abilities that call everyone to assist, especially with characters like Dooku

Once upon a time every attack was countered.

Maybe I'm just used to attacking from stealth with Leia. And I haven't used FOTP in ages.

Yeah, this is the case. Counterattacks used to be pretty rare, as were cleanses. So you didn't often attack out of stealth, nor would you run into counters, and therefore didn't see this.

And the player base liked it so much they decided they had to change it?

I honestly don't remember why they changed it. Was the same time they changed it so taunting characters would take all counter attacks.
