Thrawn or Zader lead against triple cleanse?

That last team you mentioned is a meta team right now and generally holds very well. I held at 4th all day yesterday running it on a launch shard.

It depends on your mods and shard really. I currently run thrawn (l)(251), DT (194), shore (196), DN (206), GK (198). I can get to first easily, but drop to mid 20s. My GK and shore are inky g10 though, so that might be part of the problem.

You need to drop that crit damage triangle on GK for protection. Losing a little speed is worth it. He's way too squishy right now.

Thought Thrawn was surposed to be slow so his fracture would benefit more :)

Your 2 tanks are not strong enough. As said @PhiGonSharobi drop your crit damage triangle and put a protection module. Your ShT is gr 10 and only 29k prot. At that gear, he should be at least 40k prot.

To OP, if your shard is full of triple cleanse, it's a bit risky to play Vader since on defense, you'll lose more easily than with Thrawn. If Vader drops his DoTs on Tenacity Up, that's almost done.

I guess more disclosure, I've been 1 the last 6 months about 90% of the time on a 3 way contested payout when my wife lets me. Lost on offense maybe twice to zaul and RNG the last month and stay anywhere from 12-22 overnight.

Really looking to see if zzThrawn is an improvement over Rex led 3x cleanse before I double zeta. Assume max toons and good mods. I do have the fastest mods on my shard, which is why I'm able to run Empire to begin with.

wrong

This, you thrawn to neutralize GK or Baze first move. He slows during fracture and after thrawn means he resets faster. You can also use him to make DT gernade first since he's slower if he's not under Tark lead.

I ran that after Thrawn was released. It's OK, wouldn't say it's meta, it's easily beatable by Chaze triple.

That's what SA's job is, go first then Zader then thrawn then GK then DN. SA won't trigger Rex TM. The real problem I imagine is R2 stealthing everyone but Baze so it's the same as a taunt w no dispeller. Due to R2 and cheese chirrut , Baze won't die and be fully healed quickly nullifying the fracture. GK will put retribution up but since everyone is stealthed for 2 turns, that is also nullified. Dots are helpful but the match is over before he can do a second one and with no other Empire there's no TM manipulation.

Disagree with that. I have a whale in my shard that alternatives two teams regularly and that one I can beat on offence most of the time.

However Thrawn, DN, DT, GK and ShT are far superior. With thrawn lead he has DT criting for 20k on basic. The extra TM from ShT is also a big difference when they go about healing themselves all the time. Getting past him and GK is a nightmare with 1 toon fractured and cooldowns constantly being increased.
