What to do about Royal Guard

The way I see it there's two main strategys.

-Stun/ability block opponents DPS toons while using your DPS toons to try to take out RG with kitchen sink.

-Targetting opponents other toons and then attempting to dispel/otherwise get around RG's taunt.

Not sure what is best, but I think you've got to pick and then go all-in with that.

I'm leaning towards the second. The precrafters Gear IX RG just has too many HPs.

I've been running RG/Daka/QGJ(lead)/GS/Lumi

I try to time a QGJ or GS assist attack as being the one that takes opponents toon under the 50% health. This hasn't done me much good thus far, I haven't taken many toons out like this, tends to fall just short.

Tomorrow I'm going to swap out Lumi and put in Assaj (and giving her the lead)

She has a dispel - so it won't be all on QGJ to get rid of RG's taunt.
She has an AoE - in the above (very common) scenario where I haven't quite killed opponents toon before RG taunts - I can maybe do so with the AoE.

She's very slow, but her as lead will make that tolerable (she gives Nightsisters speed)
This will take away from my QGJ speed, but give speed to Daka.

If it even half works, Assaj will probably get some of my Omega mats next week.

Right so everybody knows this strategy and no dice unless you have supermaxed characters which is nice for the future i suppose. So rg will be op for 3-5 months at least and people that farmed him deserve it but.... It seems like you should be able to stay competitive with your current teams using thought and consideration ( everybody cries inexperience or strategy here) however when the only strategy is spend 300 bucks or wait 5 months then we are not really being strategic are we:). The dispellers are a joke and you will find asajj pretty useless against him for several reasons including the nerfed aoe and the very low chance her dispell will work against rg. Good luck but im guessing 1/3 dispell, then removing her buffs will help you win 1/10 times against him
