Just an observationI would argue that she’s by far the least useful character of all the raid rewards. HanHits super hardStuns Goes first with an Irresistible stun Solid member of any rebel line-upUseful for scoundrel events (mods) General KenobiHands down best tank in the gameFits in multiple squads (JKR, Padme etc)Mass assistRetribution Hardest taunt to remove in the gameTrayaRemoves debuffs on sith which is decentIsolate is niche but can be useful to remove tanksDaze on basic is ok, but characters with AoE daze are far more effective.The triumvirate are decent together but nihlus does the heavy lifting3rd choice sith leader (Palpatine and D Revan are better). Doesn’t make the cut for top tier sith teams. Only real use is to counter geos.Of the 3 I think she’s aged the worst, which is a shame considering she’s the most recent.Thoughts?

I think it's a fair point, especially when compared to General Kenobi who continues to be pretty much essential and valuable (fleet commander, key part of the Padme squad and just a generally solid kit that has stayed relevant). You could make the case (and you have) that Traya has her use as a Geo counter but if I could only choose between having GK or Treya, I know which one I'd pick.Can't speak too much about Raid Han bizarrely, I've never really developed him.

Shes also a good counter for GG droids and Padme, so i'd say they all have their uses, none of them is useless, which is what you need from a raid award.

That said, I do use her as lead a fair bit in DS TB as she makes Sith pretty durable. Pair her with Sion and Nihilus and pretty much always 4/4.

Yeah, she can counter geos, but the triumvirate can (with most any fillers) also offensively handle almost any JTR teams, most CLS and JKR teams (if they are evenly geared and modded), bounty hunters, oddball scoundrel lineups and most any of the previous Meta or near meta teams - makes for an extremely versatile option in GAC/TW, and doesn’t rob from any other teams, plus she did reign supreme in the arena for the best part of a year.Kenobi is a pretty great tank and a stellar fleet commander, but in the current state of high end play, he is wedded pretty tightly to making Padme teams competitive against near meta teams like DR/Malak or GG/droids. Wether we see him migrate to GL Rey teams in Arena remains to be seen, but there isn’t a great option to replace him with in the Galactic Republic lineup for GAC/TW. So he is mostly seeing play With either a Legendary (padme) or two (threepio or GMY being popular 5ths), or with a Galactic Legend (Rey), honorable mention for the older JKR line up where he is with a heroes journey and usually a Legendary (GMY)Han is another great character with a great (Legendary) ship, but how often do you see him not in a Rebel lineup, where to shine he is bolstered by a heroes Journey (CLS) and at least one (Chewbacca) Legendary, if not two or three (threepio and R2) to keep him semi-relevant as a near-meta counter.I’d actually argue, particularly as the Sith Triumvirate raid has become more or less trivialized in difficulty to defeat over the last several months, that Traya is actually the most widely flexible in countering multiple teams (or at least neck and neck with CLS) with the least amount of investment in the supporting cast required, along with little to no interference in other squad compositions.

yes, definitely the least versatile, but in no way has she "aged poorly" she would still be a top choice to anyone building a roster and probably a little easier to get than DR. yes the biggest problem with her kit is that she needs the triumvirant to be utilized at her best and the other 2 are pretty plug and play, even though Han is does do better with Chewie in there too.

My JKR team stays in the 150 ranks, put DT squads there they will be shredded.

Weird, I know a guy in my shard was taking top 20 with a Traya lead up through the 2nd run of GAS (I have lost track of them since).

It could be they have a deal with others. My shard top 50 is either GAS/Clone squads or GL Rey. Few DR's hanging on, one or to GL Kylo .

I am not aware of any shard chat, but then again you still need to win offensive battles to climb up. Some people just figure out how to use older characters against various metas I guess ?‍♂️

Do you have an all relic Darth Traya squad just like your Jedi Knight Revan squad?

Nope, but I've beaten them, does that count? And to avoid the predictable (by another here) Screen shot request.. You can believe me or not.. makes no difference. Look if some think she is great and do NOT work for CG, cool. Lots of work went into getting ready for the HSTR even if all they did was join a faming guild. LOL I'm out. Fight, err talk amongst yourselves.

Byeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

I'm not exactly sure how beating DT squad with a squad that was made to specifically counter DT is such a tremendous victory. To respond to the thread, my I feel like traya is still somewhat relevant as she does make for a good counter a lot of things you wouldn't want to use your top tier teams on. I have my triumvirate at g12.5 and they still do good work in GAC and TW for me, not to mention DS Geo TB where they basically guarantee a 4/4 in most matchups.

Can I get some of that “rocket surgery”?

depends, do you NEED rocket surgery? remember, every rocket problem requires surgery if you ask a rocket surgeon.

The Triumvirate team works well against BHs. But normally you don't have the luxury to pair them with BSF. In such a line-up BSF usually outshines the Triumvirate.

That I still often my backup team in offensive GAC. She's too squishy to lose banner with on 1st attempt, same for Sith Trooper

GK isn't the best tank in the game. Malak is a tank after all and was the best toon in the game, let alone tank, overall up until a few months ago.

___________________

She's pretty dang solid if she's used properly. Not every team is built to take out any team you face. You need to be smart with where you deploy her.

I also find it weird to say that her being the 3rd option among Sith leaders is a negative seeing as Raid Han isn't a leader at all and GK would probably be people's 5th or 6th Jedi leader. Kind of a wash there.

Darth Revan and the Sith Empire in general kind of set the bar pretty high for the overall Sith faction. Comparing her to that standard is kind of tough. If she had a Sith Empire tag (which it makes sense that she doesn't - just making a point) she'd probably be run in most high tier Sith Empire teams. But she could slot into a Palp lead and be effective kind of how GK needs to be slotted under a better leader. Its just that she can also lead her own team which helps create diversity in your line up. GK can't really lead if you're running a Padmé team because there just aren't enough solid Jedi / Clone toons after you make the usual meta teams that most folks have. Id rather my clones be under GA$, Shaak Ti or Rex and I'd rather my Jedi be under JKR, Yoda or Bastila Shan. There are enough good Sith for a DT team to be viable still. Not so much with GK and Jedi / Clones.

CrowdControl based team, so you dont have give her team CritDmg/CritChance sets (which required almost everywhere) to function right.

isnt that enough?

I never modded her that way. Pumped her full of health, protection and critical avoidance. Pretty much used her as a tank during JKR meta. I still have her uber tanky now.
