This is the toughest team I've ever gone up against in Arena:Rex(L), DN, Chirrut, Baze, GKThe closest I was able to come to beating it was using:Maul(L), EP, Boba, DN and STHan where an early match execute on Chirrut left him with a sliver of health and it came down to Maul vs Chirrut and DN. With all of the cleaners, I would have to land Daze and then either Stun or Ability block Rex, Chirrut and GK to get the advantage needed to win the match. For each of my attempts, Daze failed to land on at least 1 of those 3, resulting in the cleanse.B2 would normally be a good option against double taunt, but that still depends on landing Daze + Stun/AB first or the AoE will feed too much TM. Also, for Boba to be of any use against Chirrut it's usually counter productive to dispel his HoTs.Any ideas? :D

I don't have Sith Assassin ready yet, but maybe DN lead with her to boost turn 1 TM would be an option.

Its a tough team. Its all built around keeping nihilus alive to do his work. I have found that zQGJ jedi with zoda (+ jka kenobi barris but mix and match what works for you) well becaue the constant foresight seems to slow nihilus and he cant get to his ultimate move quickly. One of the whales on my shard runs it and for me the most painful part is kenobis recurring taunt. For this reason I generally just focus kenobi down 1st using tmr from qgj and yoda to keep slowing nihilus down. When kenobi is finally down i can focus on nihilus totally and use zoda to finish the taunts on Baze ie battle meditation forces baze to 100% tm and ends his taunt. Then back to nihilus. Good luck

It's RNG and speed dependent but Zader B2 Nihilus EP STH worked pretty well last time I fought that team in GW. Need to make sure that their Nihilus uses his CD skill as little as possible.

Here is the deal with this triple cleanse team. You need to be faster. First move (yours): debuff baze with a basic ability. 2nd move (enemy chirru): chirrut cleanse, give everybody tenacity up other than baze. 3rd turn (yours) : debuff baze again with basic4th turn (enemy rex) : cleanse, give everybody tenacity up. Than if those key events happen. Kill gk while you wait out the tenacity up. If they have retribution; you can aoe if you are using sith under zaul, you will dodge enough. Don't use your special debuffs if they have tenacity up or about to dispell it. My usual kill order is gk - Rex- Ep(my enemy used DN but ep is way better 5th man)- chirrut or baze. Make sure you know the synergy between chaze that way you don't have baze taunting like crazy. Good luck. I use zaul/Zavage/zooku/Nihilus/sid Easy wins because I'm able to let those key events happen every game.

Jetlife, your team doesn't match up with the turn of events. How are you debuffing Baze on your first two moves with 1 debuffer? Also, if you're killing GK first, why bother debuffing Baze only to focus on another tank?From my experience, Chirrut has to be killed first. I've beat the team a couple times using this team/strategy:Maul(L), EP, Boba, DN, VaderThis is how the battle plays out when I'm able to win, and I've done it without losing any characters. The trouble is it's very rng dependent and I've lost far more than I've won:Maul goes first and lands Daze on at least all 3 cleansers. EP immediately follows up with a stun on hopefully all 3 cleansers, DN follows that up with cooldown reduction. Chirrut seems to be the hardest to stun reliably and will go next with a basic attack due to DN blocking his cleanse. Boba targets Chirrut and hopefully lands 2-turn ability block. That's how the opener has to play out, and if I fail to land both Stun & Ability Block on just 1 of the 3 cleansers I lose.If the opener is successful, the rest of the battle is very straight forward. EP adds offense up, Vader dots everyone, Boba Excute on Chirrut, focus dmg on taunts and clearing taunts when possible to take out Rex. Generally one of the tanks is taken out by DN Annihilate. Opposing DN is taken down last.

Here you go.
No DN but ep is better in this squad imo

You lose that match though if DN doesn't reduce CD on Rex.

Actually, no. By raising Rex CD; it only gave the opposing team tenacity up for 1 round longer. And as you saw, it was still no problem. I won by using mostly basic attacks. It's actually a good strategy and I have been 100% on offense with against this team.
Now if I used sids special at the start than that would of been automatic game over, I lose.
@vynn did any of this help at all?
This is actually a strategy a guild mate showed me. It works wonders!

Thanks @Jetlife I'm going to try this when I get home tonight. I have been avoiding these teams and was too stupid feeding them turn meter. Maybe singe target focus is the key to beating this comp

The team in your example is a bit different/weaker. I'm facing a team that's over 50k power, all 7* except GK who is 6* with DN in place of EP. The 7* Chirrut is a MUCH bigger threat for me, if I'm spending time poking away at Baze and GK then I've already lost. Also, the Speed of each character for reference:

Chirrut: 241
Rex: 236
GK: 210
DN: 194
Base: 125

Did you atleast try it out??
My enemy chirrut has 253 speed and enemy Rex has 247, and gk at 222. The chirrut is now 6* and I barely see any difference. Dodge ftw. He is now usin DN and it is now easier. The reason it's easier with DN is because that triple cleanse teams don't use debuffs so I don't usually get my CD raised by DN; and even if it does it won't matter because as you see, I used mostly basics. The star level on DN has no effect.
I never cleared it up; but the only reason I debuff at the start is to waste the enemy tenacity up. If I get a crit on baze at the start, than I will start attacking GK and not baze.
With the assist from gk and chirrut; those are your only 2 damage dealers. Any sith should be able to live against those 2 things whether it is dodge or being able to health steal back.
It's all about wasting the enemy tenacity up.

Btw if you want to still use the strategy to kill off chirrut at the beginning; you will need to OHKO him; get him to barely any protection and kill all his health. Use wiggs dude!

Vader is actually clutch against GK+Rex. His Basic can ability block GK through foresight and through tenacity up. Only way I've beaten that team is with Maul, EP, Vader, Nihilus and STH. It's not 100% effective though, but it's the only way I've done it.

Jetlife, I tried your strategy using Vader and EP in place of Dooku and SO and was absolutely slaughtered. It was so ugly I'm embarrassed to have even tried it. lol

Replaced EP with B2 and it went slightly better but still couldn't kill even ONE enemy.
