Doesn't matter. You can beat him with droids, just need to be smart about it. I can also beat him with my wiggs lando team. If those 2 crit centric teams can do it then anyone can.

And I can beat your Bots with my Rex \ Clone team, 'round and 'round we go..

Don't critically hit a Rex-led team.

That's it we need anti crit chance mods.

Yeah get rid of the accuracy mods they don't work anyway, and replace them with anti-crit mods. I am all for that.

Agreed! Haven't seen any bonus to accuracy with those mods - Old Ben still dodges 402x in a row (although it used to be 403 so WAI?)

Better mods. Your st han/EP has to go first. Problem is if u switch in lando lead to beat rex lead, his Lando gonna be faster than urs. The lando that gets two hits back to back wipes the other lando.

If u use wedge lead, urs is faster. But he will still usually win if his st han is faster.

Mods. Mods. More mods.

But that wasn't the question. He asked how to beat a Rex lead, not how to defend a Rex lead. Not sure what your point was.

Mods are important of course.

But if I need to ensure I go first I just swap in Han Solo. If he misses the stun that's just the way it goes. If he hits the stun Biggs goes first and my ST Han is usually fast enough to go 2nd.

But you can't stun anyone. If this team is setup right, it is impossible

OP states:

It doesn't matter if you kill rex first. His lead skill still there.
When facing Rex L, jka, lando, sun fac, EP/sthan
You don't want to kill rex first...

Consider Rex L, Anni, Lando, Fac, ST Han.

Rex has 231 speed, ST Han has 230 speed. Everyone else has lower speed. Fac has 112 speed.

So you stun.... ST Han or Lando? Rex uses SD. Total waste of han stun. ST Han goes at 230 speed, like nothing happened.
So you stun Rex? St Han goes at 230 speed, lol. And Rex regains 30% TM off the bat.

Either way, your B2 will debuff ST Han.... but then Fac at 112 speed will taunt in a bit if he resists block. And Fac tenacity can be modded pretty high.

So to get around this, using Lando is one way. If you have lando with Wedge lead, you can wipe his lando around the taunt. But your lando has to get two AOE in a row. Every time his lando goes, he self heals. Your crits give his lando TM. Your wedge lead gives your lando TM. Matter of who gets two in a row, first.

@leef sorry, I am not clear with this. I jump around and I'm sure other ways to beat this team. But it's pretty brutal when his ST Han and rex are faster than you, and Han Solo don't do jack for this. The key toon on this team is Lando and the dual staggered taunt. If you can't stop lando, you will have a bad day. And Fac is not fast to get around.

You can wait and debuff both at once, but you got pounded in the meantime by AOE with Anni offense up. And your B2 is feeding their team TM with his stupid basic.

@LastJedi nah, it's my fault. I realised after commenting that you didnt mean initial speed, but tm gain when you said lando is faster under wedge lead.

This is the kind of team that breaks the rock scissor thing. You can reasonably beat this only with better mods. Even with a droid team which you can easily get faster, you will get wiped by AI unless, again, you got uber mods.

Yeah, lots of peeps have Rex and don't use him. But if you have the best speed mods AND you have Rex, you will probably use him. You can put together a team that defends very well against almost everything else ur shard can put together. It won't be unbeatable. But you will have discoverered the top of the food chain, IMO. Congrats. You won Arena.

Well if you're going to add super mods to the original question and handicap me with lesser mods, then I guess it will be different. I suggest you find away to mod your speed higher then. Get Biggs or ST Han's speed above 231. Then Stun ST Han and OHKO Rex.

If you're way outmodded then nothing is going to be 100%. And it really shouldn't be because his team is just better. I've go up against a much better modded Wiggs team everyday I have to bring in Han Solo and if he misses the stun on ST Han the match is over. His whole team will go first and I'll be 2 men down. When it does land I wn in less than 60 seconds.

Also in my previous experience with Rex he doesn't usually throw his Tenacity buff on his first turn.
