Nest V Padme
Just relic'd my nest (R2, will get her to R5 soon) and I'm curious as to what level of padme squads can she reliably counter? And does she need Qi'ra and HYoda?

I don't consider this to be a pragmatic solution. Firstly, you don't see Padme on defense in GAC often (most people prefer to use it for offense), Secondly, Nest is so much more valuable on defense, as she is plug'n play for so many teams and really makes a defensive BH or NS team better for instance. And lastly, JKR (or even Traya) is a much more reliable counter for padme teams. And even a g12 JKR can beat a R7 padme team, as long as you reliced GMY with sufficient damage output. In fact, I usually leave the table with 60 banners. Not sure if I would potentially risk a time out using Nest to do the job.
Whether or not Nest is more valuable on defense is extremely debatable (coming from somebody using her on defense currently).
Slow Tenacity Nest being able to solo teams for increased banners, as well as the ability to save an entire additional team for either offense or defense, is nothing to scoff at. You might not view it as pragmatic, but plenty do, it just depends how well-rounded your roster is and the level of competition you’re facing. Not to mention, it eases the strain of offense/speed mods, which I find are always in short supply.
I like Nest on defense currently as it typically forces my opponent to use their DN or JKR there, which then allows me to place defensive teams strategically behind her.
The whole Nest solo vs Padme is not reliable. Have I done it? Yes. But after her turn, Nest can in fact be one-shot by a member of Padme's team. Regardless of modding.
