Greetings, everyone !I've activated SLKR recently and got him to G12. That allowed me to get fairly close to top 50 in Squad Arena and would allow me to get to top 20 with R7 and his Ultimate. The problem is, I'm in a March 2016 shard and I stopped playing between August 2016 and January 2020, so top 20 is dominated by 6+ million whales from top guilds with JMLs, Reys and occasional SLKRs. As far as I know, Rey squads can be beaten with the standard SLKR double-tank squad, so my only concern is JML, who can not be beaten by FO. I've narrowed my possible choices to these three:1) Get Rey and use her in a full Resistance squad without C3P0 or any high-tier Jedi like GAS, JKR, JKL and the likes.2) Get SEE and additionally Sith Triumvirate and SET3) Just get the Sith needed to counter JML and use them with SLKR (although that would be a bit harder as I don't have Malak or both Revans)Help would be greatly appreciated.My swgoh.gg account: https://swgoh.gg/p/735683965/

There are a few SLKR teams that can beat JML. Here are a few:DR, DM, BSF, TrayaDR, Thrawn, BSF, TrayaDR, Han, BSF, TrayaDR, Malak, BSF, SETGG, GBA, WAT, B1

Don't get SEE, his only use in the game is killing JML.Rey will give you a lot more use in 99% of the game

For what it's worth, SEE absolutely dominates JML. However, he's kind of lackluster for a GL in every other respect. I probably wouldn't consider getting him unless he's given a bit of a rework.

I should've clarified that 6 mil is the lowest GP of players occupying top 20 in my shard and 7+ is the average GP, with one having even 8 mil. I may be wrong, but that definetely sounds like a whale to me."LordDirt;c-2192310" wrote:There are a few SLKR teams that can beat JML.

I'm not too concerned with his underwhelming performance for now as I have SLKR to beat all other teams and I generally like Palp as a character. Nevertheless, that'll require more gear and time, so I'll be going after DR.Thank you very much for your detailed and quick response !

I'd highly recommend using Wat. The shield tech on SLKR makes him immune to debuffs (auto cleansing at start of turn) and completely ruins the jedis ability to keep him under control with ability blocks, breach, blind, etc.

DR (lead), BSF, Wat and either Zolo (against opposing Wat) or pretty much any fifth (Malak, KRU, GBA, etc.) if there is no Wat on the opposing team.

I don't have Wat as of now, 15 shards only and my guild gets 8 shards each Geo DSTB. Assuming I get Wat at 4 stars and give him the Mass Manufacture zeta, does he need to give the tank tech to SLKR and then to survive as long as possible or he can just die right after that ?

He just needs to hand out the tank tech. Just like Zolo only needs to stun Wat at the beginning and then can die. It's pretty much just DR, BSF and SLKR vs 5.

Then I'll start farming the toons required for DR immediately. Again, thank you very much for your help !
One last thing, though: is Han's zeta actually needed ? He can go first and stun without it and mine is G7 only, so I'm not expecting much damage from him.

Most likely not needed but it's a really good zeta and the TM reduction on his double taps can become handy aswell (obviously not so much on a g7 Solo but for later purpose).
