What counters Geonosians?

A strong empire squad does pretty good. I recommend having several characters with aoe abilities. Ep, vader, and tarkin make a good start for early game. Throw thrawn in there and a good tank and you probably have a good counter.

Of course mods do matter. If you can have your vader fast enough to go first, it's almost a sure win if you play it right and you're not to under geared. If not it depends on rng. If they kill of vader or ep too early, then it may go south.

With Vader's rework this only make it more viable. I haven't tried it since the rework as I always undersize geos with traya and save vader for other teams but it should work.

G12+ Nest under Q'ira lead works against G12 bugs

My team is the EP lead with R3 Vader. Viciously beat the opposing bugs in this GAC, I was suitably impressed. Your mileage may vary.

What zetas would be needed on an empire squad to beat the Geonosians? Also, can bounty hunters counter genos? Mando lead, greef, jango, bossk, boba

I took out an all G12 Geo team in TW with a two-man squad:
Lead: G11 Emperor Palpatine (no zetas)
R3 Darth Vader (all zetas)

The Geo’s took 1 turn, and that was after most of them were dead. Vader is vicious.

The idea is that Palp provides TM gain on Vader’s Force Crush, then Merciless, then Saber Throw Brute to get rid of him and Basic everyone else. Once Merciless ends, Force Crush, Saber Throw then use Merciless again.
Since there are 6 enemies, you basically take unlimited turns.
Just be sure that Vader takes the first turn, maybe fill the other slots with fodder Sith/Empire for the speed boost since he gains 8 Speed for each Empire or Sith ally (Palp counts as both so +16 speed).

The only zeta you NEED for this is Merciless Massacre.

The problem with Hunters is that they need to get their payouts to unlock their full potential and that can be rather tricky vs bugs. You also lack a way to shut down their mass assists which can wear you down really quickly.

I don't know if Mando and Greef can change that significantly but from past experience it's not a match-up I like.

You need EP's lead zeta too, otherwise you won't get the TM gains in between MMs.

Believe it or not you just "need" Palp lead. You also "need" that TM train desperately
