Hi everyone,As the title says please. What are the best JTR combos vs the palp meta?I heard something about envys nest too but I don't want to do a $300 route to beat it. I currently have NH setup but it really isn't useful I feel vs the meta. What would be the best JTR setups?

Is a taunt even important when palp teams have a thrawn anyways. Post your swgoh.gg and we can let you know. GK is the top tank, but I had poor results using him vs EP meta. A different generic tank might be better. Shoot, even sun fac with his counter could be fun. If you make BB8 the fastest in your lineup, it should be able to feed enough TM to allow R2 to get off smokescreen and you can control who gets fractured. Ideal situation, is to use JTR to use mind trick on thrawn and hopefully it lands daze and ability block. I use a potency primary cross on her for this exact reason. If you land those, the match is pretty much over. My overall strategy is this - BB8 as fast as possible (mine is 270). He always goes first and feeds TM to JTR and R2. JTR mind tricks thrawn (he's out of commission). then I use R2's Improvise and land a couple of exposes that feeds TM to poe (get R2's crit chance up uP UP *triangle with crit chance primary*). Poe now fires off his taunt which takes away TM from EP team and gets my train rolling. EP is typically dead before they even take a turn. Below is the strategy in action. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_WQg-9nLGBI

I'm running RJT, BB8, R2, RT and Nest. I swapped RT in for Thrawn yesterday and the impact was amazing. I highly suggest trying RT if you have him G12.

You can look here to get an idea:https://swgoh.gg/meta-report/#squadsI use the number 2 ranked squad, JTR BB8 R2 GK Thrawn. Reaching number 1 when I have the time. Other variants switch out Thrawn for CLS or Han. You also see some RT or Scav Rey. Basically it's JTR BB8 R2 +2.

I use JTR(zxz) R2 (zz) BB9 (z) Scav rey (bayonet) and PoeIf you want to take a look at the team comp: https://swgoh.gg/u/bcarry/squads/80657/I've found this squad to have much better success than Thrawn / GK combo because GK and speed to Vader and unless Thrawn is above 250+ speed, he's not going to take a turn until last.

If you want to take a look at the team comp: https://swgoh.gg/u/bcarry/squads/80657/

I've found this squad to have much better success than Thrawn / GK combo because GK and speed to Vader and unless Thrawn is above 250+ speed, he's not going to take a turn until last.

Thanks for the info! Are you top 5 in your shard with that setup?

Also does no one here use resistance trooper. I assume he's only good in raids?

No, but I could be. I battle up to a rank between 10-20 without refreshes and then let myself drop. 2 kids keep me from battling during my actual payout.

I used to run JTR, BB8, R2, GK, and Thrawn, but switched out Thrawn for RT about 2 months ago. I find that it holds better on defense than Thrawn. I do however put Thrawn back into the lineup when facing Rex/Wampa teams. I am consistently top 5 and can routinely beat my resident whale’s palp team with it. I am currently working on Holdo as a replacement for GK both to slow the enemy vader down a notch and add daze. I dont need it for offense, but it looks good on paper for defense.

JTR, BB8, R2, GK and Nest is the ultimate team right now IMO.

Or a Rex Lead w/ Thrawn, Wampa, Talzin and Nest.
