What to do about Royal Guard

Thanks @Zekex and @Apostilo both of you have good ideas some or which I'll try out to see how it work out.

The issue for me is this - at gear ix RG and Daka both get a big increase to potency. Combined with Dooku they are basically stunning 2 sometimes 3 or rarely 4 of my toons every turn.

So usually I am getting 3 vs 5 situation even tho all 5 are standing.

Maybe my RNG is bad maybe it's my team. But my normal team just cleaned up a gear xiii Dooku / Daka / RG / Qgj / Gs without breaking a sweat.

Tried the #1 guy again (same team gear ix) and got beat down again big time.

Guess that I'll have to just keep on keeping on for the time being.

4/16 patch no notes says qui qgj will only dispell on ai or auto now...ugh

You might want to put a bug report in. My QGJ is having no issues dispelling other than it still isn't working for me on a kill shot

We're in the same boat. Hang in there bro! nothing we can do about rng, though I've been making posts about dooku lead even before the update and dooku megathread.Yoda is lovely against all the stuns but he doesn't bring damage to the table after nerfs, and you have to run yoda with qgj lead to have him move before dooku. Doesn't solve the daka rez issue too.Let me know what you think and what you're running to mitigate the stuns and the rezs

@Zekex
Dude, you are running another RG too ??? That says it all. You can win at whatever tactic you would like to use evne by the RNG tactic by autocombat the fight ... I suppose a guy who have RG too wouldn`t start this topic with questioning about what to do against RG ... as this guy probably had enough fights showing him what enemies do best against him and how to counter it ...

And BTW how much more experience you have from fighting 40 k hp , Gear 9 RG since the protection patch 4 days ago ? Much more than me ???

Did you see the part where a guy on my shard without RG beats me consistently?It's under the P.S

FYI I autoed one of my fights by mistake, lost QGJ, got debuffed by enemy QGJ giving his entire team offense up. Could have recovered but phasma on auto uses fusillade instead of victory march. Lost the battle.So I don't know what you're talking about.. erratic targetting and poor choice of abilities is one reason I will not give control to AI.

I have fought RG teams before I got my own RG so I know what I'm talking about.

Peace mate, i didn`t mean to offend, lets say we proposed the Guy 2 diferent tactics.. he may try them both . I respect your opinion. Cheers

1. AOE would be an effective counter, RG's taunt would be useless, since most RG don't have healers then this would be a good strat to go to
2. Personally, I use QGJ humbling blow, time it right, put opponent's Rey/Lea at yellow, RG taunts, use QGJ Humbling blow. If it procs, Rey/Lea would die next move. Although I use RG to myself, but another taunter (Han for example) would have the same effect to protect QGJ.

QGJ is a good way to remove taunt but that is an out of combat strategy as you may need to acquire him. In combat, remember that RG's taunt happens after the target goes below 50%, so you can burn down a char to about 55%, and then use a character with good burst damage, like Rey or GS, to help kill it. He isn't impossible, he can make your attack difficult if you don't approach him right.
