What teams can beat GG anymore?

Hey everyone. So, I know GG nuke teams were first made to counter darth revan teams, but now that relics are out and a relic 7 GG can easily clear 180,000 health, can any team really beat him anymore? It seems like he uses his AOE and it just clears the field.

    I have a 80-90% success rate against full R7 GG with my R7 CLS team


    Who else did you put on that team?


    Classic CLS HS Chew R2 C3
    My CLS team is at 155 k GP. So I guess a lot of what I say when I say CLS team doesn't apply to most of them.

    DR beats him easily. Beat on Magnaguard until Deathmark ---> tap GG twice and he's gone. He's generally not modded for tons of speed so it's unlikely that he'll get a turn fast enough for Deathmark to expire.

    I didn't think Magna guard was usually included in a nuke team...


    DR can still easily beat a nuke team. You let them do their stuff, Grievous will AoE and knock Malak below 75%, Malak dispels BB8 allowing you to hammer down T3. Once he’s gone, it’s over for Grievous.


    There’s also the easy way. Sub in Han/Chewie for HK/SeT, start out the match by stunning BB8. He doesn’t taunt, you can mass fear and kill off toons without GG going berserk. Also, DR will gain guard, making him immune to critical hits, so he basically can’t die until chewie is dead since all t3’s damage boosts are in CD.
    This variation can also take down GAS, so there’s that too.
