@USAmazing
correct me if i'm wrong, but when facing a zeta'd nihilus the zeta on your rey is completely nullified right?

leef how so? What is nihilus zeta doing again?

"At the start of each enemy turn, Nihilus inflicts Health Down on them for 2 turns."
a (possible) debuff on rey even if she's the first to move.

leef Ah yes that...

I do find that very annoying, but it doesn't Stop my team...
I try to kill DN first or second to get rid of that, usually by having Poe inflict buff immunity on him to keep him from going stealth and then I stun him with R2 or Finn to keep him from dodging and then kill him, with expose rolling my team has plenty of turns to do this.

i didn't mean it would stop your team from being effective. I have a maxed resistance team, it's great. It's just one of the reasons i didn't put a zeta on rey. At the very least it's something to keep in mind when deciding if you're going to put a zeta on rey or not.

Do you run a resistance squad?

I find her zeta very useful...

Oh please, who are you kidding? Inflict Daze when you use special ability if you're not debuffed? Seriously? Even if it was only inflict Daze when you use special ability, it would still be terribly useless, you've got toons inflicting either Daze on BASIC with no zeta or AoE Daze. And yes I used to run her when she was meta. She was only good because she could directly one-shot someone. In a Resistance squad, there are many better options to use instead of her.

You know they don't, but that doesn't mean they haven't fought against Rey in Resistence squads. I can't tell what the difference is between ZetaRey and just Rey. She's squishy and her damage drop drastically with a single debuff.

Again this is why I think R2s combat analysis is nice, it helps her clear debuffs also Finn's cleanse is great. Also my Rey isn't very "squishy" with the right mods, plus R2s number crunch has made her even less so.

That is extremely squishy. Two Overpowers from Savage puts her in the red. She may be great on offence but on defence she isn't a threat with a Zeta and especially without a zeta

I just got smoked by this team with R2 in place of the Pilot. All Resistance, all that can be zeta'd were. I was on offense with zmaul, zsavage, zylo, EP, SithAsin. Smoked. Made me a believer.

Out of interest what shard are you in? There is a small chance this could be me. :smiley:

Well I have not dropped outta the top 20 in a month... so it doesn't seem like she is bad on defense.

And with savage dazed and all the expose TM I get plus my two tanks and health gain she gets, Savage doesn't get a chance to do two overpower attacks on her.

Also I enjoy being the only Resistance team in my shard at the top of the arena... I'm not into cookie cutter meta teams.

As an active Zaul user I pray for Resistence teams because with Sassy they don't get the taunt off, Rey gets multiple debuffs put on her, Finn can't cleanse, and R2 can't fake taunt on somebody. The only easier squad I can face is a FO squad.

Wow, how slow of your Sassy then? Her TM boost off the bat seals Resistence teams 10/10 times because they can't get the Poe Taunt off.

209. Probably to slow. What should I aim for? My mods are a work in progress.

I run Resistance and find Rey a waste in the squad. If you have Kenobi or Thrawn you will hold defense much better and Rey is not necessary to win on offense. Here are some squads that work much better and don't use Rey

ZFinn, Poe, Trooper, R2, Kenobi
ZFinn, Poe, Trooper, R2, Thrawn
ZFinn, Poe, R2, Kenobi, Thrawn
ZFinn, Poe, Trooper, R2, B2
ZFinn, Poe, Nihilus, R2, Kenobi

I have experimented extensively and found that the strongest team for me is

ZFinn, Poe, R2, Kenobi, Thrawn
