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.

This seems really vulnerable to a Tarkin lead DT / DN / Thrawn +5th lead
Put +1 CD on them with DT aoe leading off, that eliminates Rex ten up and FOST taunt for a while and FOST is slow - fracture GK round 1 ... destroy Rex and use DN to +1 them at the end of round 1 / early round 2. Tarkin will have neg effects on all of them.
Could probably use the 5th as EP or DK - EP shock spam all over the place - or use DK aoe and target Rex once GK is fractured by Thrawn so that DT dazes him. Fractured GK, +2 CD on FOST, and a dazed Rex with +1 CDs and no tank protection seems a pretty easy squad. Thrawn should also be on +2 CD and unable to use abilities until his 3rd turn.
in theory u seem right, in practice a good whale will have moded it so that it doesn't depend only on first turn... and then the Rex mechanism make it catch up real fast (especially if u use dt that crits a lot) and it ends up being a much better combo than tarkin.
But yeah this setup efficiency is contingent on great modding ... so not a easy-to-use toolbox like Tca is
