Zorri Nerf

I'm wondering what everyone thinks about this: I feel like Zorii Bliss could use a nerf, or at least a "no GL" clause.

She cost me my second matchup of last week's bracket.. swgoh.gg shows a 77% success rate against her with CLS (with the specific team comp I was facing: OG Finn, OG Poe, omiRose, Resistance Trooper, omiZorii), so I ran my CLS squad which is pretty decent, and there were thicc crons on both side. She absolutely curb stomped my CLS without breaking a sweat. Then my Wampa with prot up DC (hail mary attempt), and even SEE with WT. I also just watched a Songeta video from a month where she annihilated a JKR/JKL squad and even LV. (She had the Zorii DC in that video.) And none of these battles were even close, at all. Took JMK to take her out.

Why does Traya get the axe against (dark side) GLs immediately, but a marquee character is allowed to persist at this power level? If anything, Traya should be at a higher power level, and it seems inconsistent for Zorii plus a bunch of old characters to be this OP in the meta.

Aside from whether or not you think she should be nerfed, general ideas and suggestions for accessible counters would be appreciated. It currently looks like the main non-GL teams that have any kind of consistent good win rate against Zorii are Aphra, SK, or Reva (unfortunately can't factor in DC impact from swgoh.gg). I have SK but usually I need him on anti-GL duty, as well as SEE.
  • Thanks @Notthatguyfrombefore — that’s a reasonable take and why I wanted to see what the general consensus is. It’s hard to make an apples to apples comparison of her overall standing from just a couple battles, with all the different team comps and datacrons floating around. My first (I think, if I faced her before the squad wasn’t nearly as strong) experience fighting her just blew me away, but that could’ve just been due to those factors. I was pretty confident that CLS with his own Max H/P DC3 would be able to hold up, but... ?
  • You're right, that was an assumption on my part (and generally speaking, I would guess anyone running that team will most likely be running both omicrons). Looks like this was incorrect!

    Here's the precise filter I used which shows 77.1% against with CLS, and no I don't have insight: https://swgoh.gg/gac/counters/FINN/?season=40&d_unit=ZORIIBLISS_V2&d_unit=POE&d_unit=ROSETICO&d_unit=RESISTANCETROOPER&exclude_gl

    One thing I’m confused about from your original post…

    How did you establish that the CLS win rate was 77% against teams that had both the Rose and Zori omicrons? Surely swgoh.gg just shows the stats against the 5 toon lineup, rather than being specific about when the squad has one or two omicrons?


  • @Ragnarok_COTF - if I'm reading that correctly, is that saying that against comps with BOTH omis, the win rate is closer to 53%??

    Dang... I may need to get insight. :#
  • eh, i'd much rather have all the time saving stuff in HU than maybe win one or two more GAC rounds that would just push me too high only to get knocked down again anyway

    with that said, what's the guild version - is it like HU where if a few people get it then the guild gets stuff too?
  • zorii was an attempt to bring super weak characters (rose, og poe, and og finn) to be decent without having GL rey. She isn't strong enough to take out GLs reliably so she doesn't need to be nerfed.
