let them eat cake

It's 1 squad, with one counter. I have beaten that Nuke squad with just about every good team available with multiple combinations. In fact, it's one of my favorite teams to target when I climb.

It's not even worth putting together. I'm not wasting a zeta on T3M4.... to beat a team that can be beaten with other teams easily now? No thanks...

If the nuke is spanking your GG, try to make sure he's always feared when you kill a toon. T3 should be your first target, as he's the reason the damage is so crazy.

If the GG nuke squad didn't exist right now I might have quit a while ago

People with crappy mods and G11 Droids do not belong in the Top 20 in arena simply because they can G13 one toon. That squad needs a serious nerf. At the very least, it should require G12/13 on every toon in order to beat other meta squads that are all G13. Just another side effect of OP relics.

We had a couple reaching first pre-relic.

They also drop like a rock. Counters are nothing new.

I got GG to R6. I dropped to 16 in my launch shard, and I have a G7 IPD. Of course I'd consider my mods to be sublime and results not typical.

Not all shards are created equal.

And yet you speak as if they were.?‍♂️

Op, I understand your frustrations but there isn't anything wrong with this team. I enjoy seeing different teams or here in arena mixing it up. Because for each different team that's out here, it opens the doors for other teams to start making a comeback. Diversity

With GG nuke you can beat bunch of other squads than just DR malak.
I just used it against an old republic with carth lead squad in TW and it works well too

You missed a joke but that's ok.

Actually, yeah. People who geared one toon and haven’t farmed mods to be competitive to do not belong in the top 20 ranks with a bunch of people who have done everything right to obtain meta toons, gear and mod their squads to be among the best in the shard. That’s the entire point. Arena isn’t supposed to make you feel good for being average. It is supposed to separate the best players from those who don’t put in the work to develop their roster and mods. And yeah, money can substitute for work, but being smart and making good decisions about farming and allocating crystals can get you to top of the arena. That’s perfectly fine. This is akin to when people with three star Bastila and terrible mods were climbing in many shards. It’s not healthy for the arena.

Running this squad properly requires significant investment in characters that wouldn't otherwise warrant it, and requires specific modding as well. It's not just getting one character to g13, and bam beat everybody. It takes advantage of the weaknesses in the current meta, but is easily beaten by several other teams. And it has nothing to do with relics since these teams were perfectly capable of taking first before relics existed. It's not really a problem.

Prior to relics, one or two were climbing to the top with it. They had good mods and geared their other Droids. Now people with G10-11 Droids and terrible mods are able to climb because of relics. That is the issue.
