Revan counters, proven and theoretical

So I've been putting together a list of teams that I've seen beat Revan with Jolee. Some of these are only assumed to be able to beat Revan while others are only theoretical as of yet to my knowledge. I'm putting this list out to both spread to others and add to as others list ones that may not be present.

In other words, please let me know if there are more teams, and feel free to ask questions about the ones listed, I'll answer them as best I can or point you in the direction of those who can.

So without further ado, here's the list:

Proven:
1. Gg, B1, B2, IG-100, Droideka
2. GG, b1, b2, Droideka, L3
3. GG, b1, b2, bb8, Droideka
4. GG, L3, IG-100, Chewie, Vandor
5. Jtr, r2, 3p0, bb8, Chewie
6. Jtr, r2, 3p0, bb8, Droideka
7. Jtr, r2, 3p0, bb8, Nest
8. Cls, Han, Chewie, 3p0, Nest
9. Cls, Han, r2, 3p0, Chewie
10. Cls, han, old ben, 3p0, Chewie
11. Finn, Han, 3p0, Chewie, RT
12. Maul, Thrawn, Traya, Dark Bast, Nest
13. Maul, SIon, Traya, Nihilus, Badstilla
14. Tarkin, sion, traya, nihilus, thrawn
15. Traya, sion, nihilus, thrawn, dark bast
16. Traya, Sion, Nihilus, SiTr, Thrawn
17. EP, Sion, DN, Badstila and Thrawn
18. MT, Daka, Asaji, zombie, spirit
19. Asaji, Daka, MT, zombie, spirit
20. Jango, boba, chewie, han, thrawn
21. Q'ra, Vandor, L3, Nest, Zaalbar

Theoretical:

1. Talzin, gg, asaji, daka, r2
2. Nute, zombie, acolyte, leia, geospy


Edited to add other teams and this note:
Now this list is only teams that have been proven to win for the moment and only on offense, not proven to win every time or hold on defense. You will also notice that most of the teams use the same characters, so as complete as the list is, I wouldn't expect to get more than 5 ish teams for things like territory war out of it but the list is growing so that may change.

    Was a guy sitting at top of my arena for a long time before the 2nd batch of Revans that used Maul Thrawn Traya Dark Bast and Nest. He took 1st every day and stayed top 10. This was after the Nest change.

    Another guy who claimed to use EP lead although I dont know exact team.

    @Killbot5000 says Qira Nest Vandor L3 and Zaalbar works. I have tried this combo and cant get it to work but I dont have a zeta on Nest.

    And I think there is an Ewok video floating about somewhere? May just be a rumor.

    Video of Revan Plo Koon GMY Bastilla Jolee winning with a claimed 100% success rate even with inferior mods.


    there is an ewok vid, but very rng dependent


    I dunno how ewoks would get jolee down lol. Dude must have some jacked up murder bears.


    He did. Has all the zetas, and most of the g12+ pieces on them and his mods were about even in speed (slightly higher, but not much). His Paploo got to go first because of Paploo's +25% speed w/o taunt unique and started the TM train for the ewoks, but as said above it's a bit rng dependent because it's not guaranteed to call an assist with zChirpa lead so it's not guaranteed to get the TM rolling as fast.



    The only ewok vid I've seen didn't include Jolee. There's a guy in my droid chat who's tried over and over. You'd think with the inclusion of 3p0 it would be even easier, but no, they don't win once Jolee is in the picture.


    I've definitely seen someone beat a Revan team w/ Jolee in it w/ Ewoks. I believe he had to trick Jolee's AI into using the revive as a heal when someone was at low health and then take them out, then take out Jolee while letting the Revan team focus on Paploo and continually reviving Paploo with Elder and healing Paploo back up quickly with Logray and Wicket zetas.

    Definitely not a recommended strategy though.
  • There's a small variation of the JTR that uses the three droids and thrawn. That's what I always use for grand arena
  • Why isn’t the most impressive counter listed?

    CW chewie, Vandor chewie, big Z, nest, hy
  • MT, AV, OD, Zombie, Talia.
    Works perfectly fine. They most likely go for Talia kill, then just deathstorm GMY=>GK=>Jolee down. If any other than Talia or MT dies, revive and repeat. Success rate with even Mods >90%

    JTR (lead), BB8, R2, Thrawn, and Nest (modded with high tenacity 130%+) can win vs Revan at least 90% of the time. I would go days without losing to Revan when climbing in arena with that team.

    The key is to get R2's speed high enough to stealth the team, except Nest, before Revan does mark. Not too difficult if you use your best speed set on R2. For example, 290 speed R2 with BB8's unique makes R2 at 345 speed on the first move. Thrawn is there to fracture GMY before he makes a move.

    Here is a video showing how it works: https://youtu.be/ARz3SnNjYiA


    You are a good man sir. Have to fight a Revan today in GA and this will help. Thanks.

    EP, Sion, DN, Badstila and Thrawn also proven with proper modded DN


    @Crazygone510 How do you mod DN? This is probably my best chance at a counter.

    Pure defense. The key is the crit avoidance arrow. I'll send you pics via PM?
  • I’ve also heard of CLS, Han, Chewie, 3PO and Bistan. Make sure bistan is guarded, frenzy and then he’ll take tons of turns and call chewie every time.
  • Also, for the Jango teams, how on earth are you able to go before Revan, or is that only against slow (<300) teams?
