Nest counters?

Not on the forums too much except to check on updates, so sorry if this was asked recently (I also don’t have time to look. Again, sorry if this is a repeat). Anyway, anyone know strong counters to nest? The bot my discord has had nothing for us. I know stuns, but didn’t know if anyone had some specific characters they liked using.
  • Certain questions have certain answers every time:

    BH problem? Bossk
    Can't kill someone? Nihilus
    Taunting/buff problem? Thrawn

    Anything with a daze and stun on 1 team is a counter to Nest.

    You can still risk doing AoE and never fear for Nests counter attack due to daze and after every stun ends you can do a big hit on Nest. Rinse and repeat until she's dead

    For example... with JTR I r2d2 stun nest, bb8 basic for daze. Kill the rest of the team and big hit nest out of stun... stun nest again and bb8 daze. Rinse and repeat.


    If you stun a character, dazing them afterward is superflous (assuming the daze is a 1 turn duration).


    Can you not gain bonus TM from abilities like EP lead when stunned?
  • Correct, stun doesn't prevent TM gain outside of regular amounts. Daze does.

    Nest doesn't have that mechanic (yet...) So doing both doesn't matter on her.

    Edit - yes she gains 40% from kinetite charge, but that's prevented by ability block or stun. I meant moreso a leadership ability or other character unique that would grant her bonus TM.

    TM gain for Nest isn't typically a problem. What you want to prevent is her taking turns (stun) and/or counter attacking (stun also prevents counters).
  • Yeah understood about Nest in particular. Just the way the comment was worded made me wonder if it was in general. For instance stunning and dazing against EP teams works well. Just wanted to make sure I wasnt missing something.
  • You can use nightsisters too. Keep her stunned while talzin uses her special? Which ignores protection. In grand arena infuse ventress lead to keep her stunned and reduce her turn meter (I know that doesn't sound right), but with one or two specials from talzin she's dead
  • Jawa's all the way. Seriously. Ive done it many times in GA with under geared jawas. Of course that is when nest is the last toon a live.
