Why is everyone using Zarris with GK?

So, I'm thinking of finally giving zeta to Barris for the Grand Arena. I'l probably put her in a Rex Wampa team. I just don't get why is everybody using her with GK when imho he is basicaly the worst thing you can put in the team, since he prevents enemies from scoring critical hits. I get that the mass assist from her healing ability is cool but besides that, what am I missing?

    That's not true. GK doesn't taunt if fractured or under buff immunity debuff but the allies still gain the crit immunity. As it is said in his kit: "Whenever another ally is Critically Hit, if General Kenobi is alive, they gain Critical Hit Immunity for 1 turn and General Kenobi gains Taunt for 1 turn."


    In GA, if my GK-Zarriss team makes you use your Thrawn, I’ve probably already won.

    Very true.
  • Yeah I remember it was hard when I didn't have Thrawn ready, I just thought using another tank with no crit immunity (Old Ben perhaps) could be even better. And I still think it would be a good team. Also pure for GA purposes, I'd like to leave GK for my Bastilla jedi team.
    Anyway, thanks to everyone for the answers I sought.
  • You seem to be focusing solely on the crit immunity aspect and neglecting other parts of the kits that make it work. The +30% max health from the lead combined with the 20% heal on crit is another big part of the synergy.

    Also, GK doesn’t give himself crit immunity. So unless you’ve got a plan to specifically deal with GKs taunt (Thrawn maybe), whenever you crit someone, they heal, and then you’re going to be bashing against a constantly healing GK taunt wall. It makes it difficult to focus down characters.
  • GK makes Zarriss more tanky, Zarriss makes GK more tanky, and both typically have to be taken out before dealing with the other 3 on the squad.

    you have GK and Zarris on a team.

    non-GK member of your team takes a crit. They are instantly healed 20% of their max health, gain crit immunity so it's harder to keep bursting them, and GK taunts. It works cuz both Zarris and GK tr

    it was a super hard combo to get around. Not so much nowadays, but still considerable

    Why not so much nowadays?

    Same thing happens when you fracture/isolate GK. Although you probably want to use Thrawn to counter some other team in GA.


    Thrawn is a great GK counter though.
