Rey or SEE vs JML

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 SET
3) 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.

    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


    I will have to agree with that, but her top tier squads include legendary Jedi such as GAS and JKL, and I'm very far away from those, especially from JKL. Unless she can be competitive in Geo LSTB, GAC, TWs and Squad Arena with the Resistance toons required to unlock here, she will be a burden at my low GP.
  • She can for all of those other than maybe arena (depending on your account age, shard, and definition of "competitive").

    I've mentioned that I'm in a March 2016 shard, everyone in top 50 has either a GL or JKL, and by competitive I've meant essentially meta, as SLKR-led full FO can beat any squad except for JML, and I would like for Rey to do something similiar just with her required Resistance toons.

    She's great in TB/GA/TW with Res toons.

    Arena, not so much.


    In that case she'll be a side farm at best, as there are other toons that can counter JML that are significantly easier to get. So I'll get GBA for Wat and BSF and the others for DR. Thank you very much for your explanations !
  • The short answer is bring Han when they have Wat and use Shoot First to stun him. Thrawn pretty much destroys GLs but it can be a bit tricky to get around double taunts so some squad adjustments to manage the taunting. Malak, Traya, etc can manage taunters allowing you to Fracture GLs.

    Don't have Malak, so I'll stick to DR and BSF to dispel buffs and get Shock on the enemies. SLKR's main weakness is ability blocks, and that's where Wat's tank tech comes in. That way I won't need Thrawn most likely and can use my KRU instead.
  • If tank tech lands on JML, the fight is still winnable but it is a real pain to say the least. The other issue is that JML when built a certain way can literally one shot an entire team other than the GL. DR can also make fights problematic because he health equalizes so he can literally nuke the health of your GL before he goes.

    Managing Wat just makes the entire fight easy whether that is 3v3 or 5v5.

    That's if there is Wat on the opposing team to begin with. In that case I'll use Han to stun him in the beginning. Wat's tank tech will regen SLKR's protection, so if JML nukes the entire team, SLKR will have enough health to regen it quickly through health steal. As for DR, I can just not put a zeta on his unique for this particular use.
