What are the counter to G12 Malak/Darth Revan?

CG removed the single viable counter to DR and Malak with JKA. Anyone found a soft counter?

  • Someone in my arena shard uses anakin under jkr and Always beat all the malak teams so that still works

    G12 Malak?

  • I use anakin with jkr and it isnt a definite win even against 5*malak. Honestly the difference between 5* and 7* malak isn't a problem for jkr/jka. The problem is when the dr team decides to target jka or jolee. Anyone that says they always win against malak with this is full of bs.

    Faster BSF with your DR and Malak


    If you have access to DR
    1) you don't need a faster BSF, you can use "workarounds" like GMY, Chirrut,Thrawn, FOO or Jyn
    2) you don't need Malak

    Padmé squad G12+ Fully Zeta'd or wait 3-5 months for the new meta.


    Malak is included in this post... Malaks kit being designed around HP related attacks useless makes Padme a very soft counter. Still very RNG dependant.


    At this point, there is no viable counter... Just ways to lessen the RNG like putting KRU on a Revan team



    Yeah ik. Shes an incredibly soft counter but it's all we got.


    Which is why it's such nonsense that Anakin winning less than 50% of the time on offense is so rediculous to nerf

    They needed to "tighten up" his synergy to include only being viable with a character behind the new whale gear for those that missed out on giving them money for Malak.

    It's such a joke how they don't even try to make it transparent that only being a hoarder/wallet warrior will give you a chance to compete and any competent strategy goes out the window


    Isn't hoarding and well-planned resource investment a competent strategy though?


    And yet only 800 some F2P players acquired Malak... of course it’s a strategy but they don’t give a crap about the select few that got Malak F2P

    I just used that to avoid the idiots chiming in with “I got him without paying”

    That 800+ only considered pure F2P who have never spent a cent before. There’s a whole bunch of others who have spent before in the past but still got Malak for free via hoarding.
