Rex lead FOST Thrawn GK and DN
Can somebody explain why this squad is catching on? What are the mechanics that make it would. It looks super slap dash to me but some top notch guys are starting to run it.

What makes fost formidable is his counter ability slows and when zeta'd consistently calls assists. Fost paired with a fast zylo and fracture isn't nearly as bad as it is on most other toons, zylo's tm boost helps fost recover tm pretty fast almost making it more like a slow than a stop. Palp is so squishy he is almost unusable now.
EP has never stopped being usable - if people can't use EP they don't have good mods or they construct teams poorly.
Even properly modded his armor and health are subpar to just about everyone else in game in comparison
I agree. He is waaaayyyy too squishy to be top 20 viable without getting wrecked on defense. Thrawn can 2 shot basic him. Zylo can 1 shot special him. Boba can execute easily with minimal buffs or debuffs, saber throw rocks him. Not to mention chirruts special that could 1 hit him easily.
And if you mod him for survivability he isn't super strong on offense. Which then is difficult to get over. And with all of the different styles of cleanse teams, and even just throwing Rex or GK in a comp, shock is utterly useless.
If you try and make it up with speed, then you are sacrificing something else. And while his kit is good. It's showing its age.
Palpatine is probably my second favorite character after thrawn.
You're counting on stuff killing him that relies on specials - fast teams that take your cooldowns and also put you Offense down let EP live perfectly fine. EP against a cleanse team under zDV is extremely deadly as his bonus damage vs. all the rebels and Jedi removes TM. Great under Tarkin or Thrawn lead as well.
