I walked to the bar last night. No big deal. About 15 minutes. And getting home, however, took about 45 minutes. The difference was staggering. Hello everyone and welcome to another episode of Zerith Prevails. Today, let's talk about counters you need for the current 5v5 meta that we find ourselves in. Hondo is here. The pirates are here to kill things other than dark side clones. So, that's um surprising all things considered. Uh patrons are awesome. That's not surprising all things considered. Thank you guys so much for your support, guys. I really couldn't do this without you.
You guys are amazing. And folks, it would really mean a lot to me if you'd hit that thumbs up button, like, subscribe, comment. Let's mount the algorithm, shall we? It's 5v5 season. It's mounting season, folks. Let's get to it. There are a lot of counters going on today. And uh I'm just going to tell you, I'm going to show you most of my attacks from my main account. He had six Galactic Legends on defense. I had seven on my defense. and it took a lot of doing to get through his stuff. Uh, I'm going to
a couple times intersperse these counters with uh like if it's the same team. I'm going to show you guys what I what you can do on my alt which is like at like almost in Kyber 2 actually or almost in Kyber 1 at the top of Kyber 2 and I'll show you like an easier version of it or like what what like the standard counter is just so you guys have a little bit of context and um you guys should realize there are a lot of fails here that just go then uh you know I'm
just going to own them and explain what you could do to mitigate those and Um, you know, maybe not even mistakes so much as just I I mean, some of them are mistakes and some of them are just just issues that it's like, well, I I can't full clear unless I chop this team into a lot of pieces, which I think is kind of a valid approach to a lot of matches. It's fun. It shows resilience, which is the word you guys love. So, let's go here. First, we've got Night Sisters versus Amazanada team. This
is like the prescribed Mana Manazanada. Manage kind of like that as her name. If she had a bigger nose, we could call her that. Um, I made a mistake here though. Um, I knew that they were going to have Hondo lock down my pre-taunt, which is Morgan. And so, you can't put the blessing on the person who can't attack for several turns. And so you put the blessing on to spirit, which is not a mistake. The mistake I made was I should have put the curse, the doom, whatever it's called, on the baby Rancor on
Quigold instead of uh instead of the the winged helmet fellow, Ethano. And so like things look okay to start with. Kind of kind of, but the thing is we can't ignore the taunt. Uh, Greymothers can ignore the taunt. Spirit can ignore the taunt. No one else can. And Quigold doesn't give up on his taunts at all. He's just like, "No, I love I love taunting. I I I'm like that dude in Montipython who just wants to the French dude in Montipython who just wants to taunt you a second time. Like that's what he wants." So,
they eventually killed Morgan. I was like, "Gosh, can we at least please kill Ethano?" killed that that they killed uh Spirit. And of course, there's no revives or anything. All right, cool. Well, we killed Athano. He's not coming back, right? He's uh he was doomed. He There's no revives, which which is fantastic. Uh maybe we can kill Quiggle. He's only relic five here. My opponent had pretty similar uh uh GP to me, but not not quite the like he was he was down by a little bit. So, all right. So, we killed Athon. We got
to keep it. Um how do we finish it? I decided I just don't have I have a lot of I I have a decent number of teams. I just don't have like an infinite number of them. And look, Kicks is a really big problem cuz he's going to revive people. Unless, of course, you have General Skywalker, in which case, so I'll point out I'll point this out, folks. I don't think this works as a straightup counter to Moskanada. I'd be interested to know what your guys' experiences are. I think Ethano probably makes this a really
sketchy counter, but uh I mean we'll see. Ethano hits really hard. So it seems like Skywalker would have fallen down a lot earlier. Maybe Captain Rex on the team would have made it more resilient and better. I don't know that it's it's worth it's worth a look because Kicks revives the team and that's an issue, right? And he also uh just like autorevives characters as well. Um, so anyways, uh, that doesn't happen against General Skywalker and, uh, managed to managed to take that team out. Look at all that. Just skilled my way right through it,
folks. All right, so you guys can't see it that well, but you see all the cool sparks that are flying. That's the very start of Lord Vader's AoE. That's right. It's Treya with all of her Treya friends. and instead of like Darth Zion or or whatever his name is, uh it's it's Lord Vader instead. And so, uh it doesn't allow you to have turn meter gains with the dots, uh when you have dots. And so, I do have the uh I have a plus 25% turn meter datacron on my team. This is the Finn Zory
team. And uh so I'm assuming I'm going to outspeed them. I also savage is modded with a ton of uh health which is something you really need in this fight. Well, at least to fight to kill Savage easily anyways. So, hand the turn. So, resistance hero Finn goes first. Well, after Lord Vader, he hands the turn to Po. Po's going to uh hand the the uh whatever it's called, the inspiration to Zory. And then we're just going to go as hard as we can and try to kill Savage. And it's going to feel demoralizing and
scary the whole time. But he has a ton of health, not a ton of protection, and so exposes are a thing against him. And uh so I think I'm using a rose cron, which you know, it helps a little bit at least. But oh, look at that. We just casually just randomly deleted poor old uh nihilist. That That's pretty fun. And then I guess so uh Darth Talon is here. So we're going to have to kill Treya twice and it it's real sketchy. Um let's let's just try to kill her though cuz it's going to
take a while to take down Lord Vader in theory. Um okay. So I think did that just kill her? I think we killed her once. Yeah, I killed her twice. Talon is still in Well, she was in hiding. Let's just take her out real quick just just uh for fun. And now it's only Lord Vader. He doesn't have his leadership to protect him. like he's uh he he died. So, kind of a cool counter, honestly. Huge shout out to Canada Fet uh who suggested that. Um shout out to me for having the right team and
knowing what to do with it. Um all right, so he's got Inquisition and this this is uh this is something that we've dealt with in for a for a season now. This is their second season dealing with the Night Sister Chron. He does have Merrick on the team which makes us see we can't use Phoenix until they fix the bug that they keep promising to fix. Look at Scav Ray just deleting. She just control alt deleted Ninth Sister the hornchinian. She just she's just like what? I don't I don't see no horns. I don't actually
know if she said that. She probably I I'm guessing I I have better diction than she had but I it's hard to it's hard to know for sure. I mean it this one thing to keep in mind though folks um this this counter can go sideways if if you're not care like if you don't have the right team you can't just casually walk in with just like Sir Malacos and three randoms. You do need to have uh like the the characters that they're best with. Uh you know Scav is great if you have the datacron
or uh like crew s as a pre-taunt. uh Maul as the guy who helps Malacos do stuff. Okay, so uh context on this one, guys. I'm using Kenobi because I tried Treya against this comp and uh there there's not much data actually. We looked it up. There's not much data. And um so Treya actually beats the majority of this is this is also a Queen Amidala with the Rolo cron which means that whenever one of them does something the rest of them uh assist and um so that that means that that that means that uh
like Treya is actually not that great against like standard Queen Amidala teams but against the Rolocron they they attack so much that Treya actually beats this team at a high percentage. unless it's got this combination of Jedanite Anakin and either Kiadi Mundy or uh Grandmaster Yoda and because they just get like endless turn meter. And so I tried Treya. I got like one term of the character. I'm not showing it because it was just the most frustrating thing. Not not that you guys really care about my frustration, but it's also just boring to watch cuz
it's just like an endless slew of of attacks by them. Um, so instead we're using Kenobi here. And it's a little bit of a gamble because if he has Supreme Leader Kylo in the back, then all I've got for that is like Bane or like, you know, we we've probably got a couple teams that can like maybe like hack away at it a little bit, but it's it's nothing. It's it it's a little bit dicey. Uh, so anyways, we chop uh Quinomid Doll's face off by getting an alt. Um, and then you can see we're
we're going at way faster speeds here because well, first off, I I I didn't remain I I didn't remain steadfast in my resolve to uh to to actually just beat uh kill the right characters, kill the same characters at the same time. And I popped the alt at 96%. So it it stopped being an alt after a while. And so this is all leading to a certain level of desperation of we can't really kill any of them very easily like like killing Kunamidala with cat easy enough cuz it's just a delete button but then after
that uh they're all a really tanky squad and it's got a really good that Rolocron it just has a ton of amazing stats on it as well and we don't really have any stats to to like mess with that and so I was like maybe I'll just be able to delete uh Kenobi right away and I finally did, but not I don't know. I I went I attacked Jenna Anakin for a while. Attacked then I then I chose to attack uh when that didn't immediately resolve itself. I tried to tried to kill Kenobi instead. And
you can see we have 12 seconds left. There's just no way we're going to be able to actually um clear this. Um so instead we just used Wampa. I didn't use the WACron. saved the Wacocron for later, for Bane to use later. And so we one thing to note, folks, not not that it always makes a huge difference, but if you can find a way to use Wampa, but to clean up your fails, it's amazing because you get back four banners, which I mean, that makes a big difference if you're needing to pinch banners in
the first place. All right, so let's actually uh we killed that team. Let's fast forward a little bit to my alt account. We're facing a Queen Amidala team against a guy who's like 2 million more GP than me. Uh we're just you this is a standard counter though. We we're using um the the nice sisters versus Queen Amidala. And so uh you you want to doom Queen Amidala. Then uh instead of and instead of putting the blessing on Spirit like you do in most counters with this team, you're going to put it on Morgan because
Morgan is the one who needs to be able to ignore taunt. All right, because Morgan's going to call a mass assist. So, uh this isn't against a Rolo uh cron. Uh this isn't against the Rolocron Queen Amidala, but um it is fairly decently relicked, but you kill Queen Amidala. And then we're just going to fast forward the rest of it. I mean, you guys know kind of how how it works. Like eventually you can kill the decoy potentially. Um spirit can ignore taunt and so can great mothers. And uh over the time over the course
of time hopefully we can just take these guys out and win. I mean this is this is pretty classic textbook and uh textbook fight. And honestly I wish I wished I could have done this when I used um when I tried to beat the the Queen Amidala with Rolocron uh previously. When I looked at the stats though actually I think I think the nice sisters just don't beat that version of Queen Amidala anyways. Um at least not with the Rolocron. So anyways, uh this this is pretty textbook and if you want to kill Queen Amidala,
this is basically how to do it for the most part. Cool. Yeah, 75. All right, so let's get back to the narrative at hand. my alt account finally broke through the front zone and uh my opponent had placed six total Galactic Legends including all kinds of just bogus stuff in the back like Hondo and Ray with Ezra and Leia are all in the back [laughter] which is just so insane. Like he's he he's it's just crazy. So uh Jedi General or Jedi Master Kenobi this is something I haven't tried before. We're using Balin here. We
don't have Hondo because he's on defense with Ma. So instead, we're doing using dash and my relic eight Kira. And um so the thing to keep in mind here folks is when you read Balin's kit, if you ever have like a free afternoon, go and read it. especially read his Omacrons because one of them gives you things that strangely look like a way to destroy ray teams like Galactic Legend Ray and another one gives you buffs to somehow be able to beat Jedi Master Kenobi. And so that I mean that's basically what we're trying to
cash in on here, right? like the this dash. Dash I've discovered he doesn't have much of a place in current teams like or at least on the rosters in terms of like at the top of Kyber you're just not going to counter a lot of stuff with Dash lead teams but Dash as an addition to Balin has has been surprisingly good. I thought that he would just die instantly but uh Balin and his team's natural resilience kind of just [music] work with him as well. And I I've discovered Dash Dash is a really excellent addition
to [music] the team. So anyways, uh it's it's just wild. Like I'm just kind of button mashing here, guys. Balin against just standard Kenobi teams. It is just amazing. I was I thought about using Bokeuton, and Bokeaton can work, but there's also a Saw team that I thought Bokeaton could beat, and Bokeaton doesn't have the highest win percentage against Kenobi comps with Padme on them. So, I decided [music] we would go with that. All right. So, here's I'm so excited to get that new Afro droid in in like seven months or whenever they they dain
to release them. But, um, AFA, this has kind of been the standard counter. Uh, like AFA can beat uh, uh, can beat Jabba. The problem with this is if it's a really thick Jaba team, then you can't really do that. that like it it's not a high win percentage. So, and I kind of messed up there. He has he has Greo on the team, which I find uh fairly compelling and strange, but uh Greo died pretty easily or and early, and that's great. Things are things are going decently kind of. I I did I was
kind of dumb there and uh didn't didn't look to see if I had blind on my summoned commando droid. And it was all it all kind of looks like it's going well. And then um the problem is we're just not killing anything. And uh that that that's horrible of course. Um and of course we missed with the droid because he was blinded. I think otherwise we would have killed Bouch if they hadn't had such an they they had two really opportunistic uh kills with or times when they when uh that they dazed or they blinded
me. And so anyways, we killed Greo. H [clears throat] that sucks. I guess we'll just keep it though. Um, one less one less thing to kill eventually. So, immediately transitioned into using uh nice sisters here. And I think we're I thought we were trying to go fast on this one. You guys going fast? It doesn't look like it's going fast, guys. I don't know what to say. But anyways, we're just waiting for Marin to be alone, right? And we're hoping that they don't just focus down Marin first that like that's why you bring in in
5v5 that's why you bring old Daka to to heal Marin and okay so here I was like oh gosh we're going to die but um as long as as long as we heal just a little bit like that nothing can stop us from gaining a bunch of turn meter uh when we're alone and stuff. So anyways, let's let's just see. Uh we're finally starting to stick some debuffs uh some plague onto Bouch, which is great. Uh though we're we're about to die here again. I I don't know. Maybe the better move there would have been
to revive and try to heal herself, but I didn't. And so Crysantin died, which is so strange. I've never seen it where Bouch is the last one standing with Jabba, though. I need to look at my opponent's modding. May maybe I should make my bouch a little more resilient. I I don't know. It was fairly impressive. So instead, I threw the CLS cron on to the CLS team. I don't to be clear, I don't think you really need the CLS cron for this uh to to be able to win this though. It, you know, it's
kind of nice. You get you at least get an armor shred, which is that the team really loves that. Um being able to ignore a little of the little of the huts blubber is nice. I love that they're just fight. They're like, "Hey, we found a stray hut in the middle of the like highway on Lothal. This This is cool." So, anyways, we mow mowed the hut down. And now uh let's let's use Bogaton on uh Saw. The Saw team has the Javacron, which is scary. And they they immediately kill Bogaton. And then they kill
Bogaton again because or at least well they kill OG B which which is uh which is very demoralizing because she she's so helpful like she helps you heal your team. She helps dispel all their copious number of buffs and uh anyways they they also this team is is so good at controlling your turn meter, right? Like like Seir has her AoE that that gets rid of turn meter. Um Saw has his AoE that gets rid of turn meter and um and then eventually once once the debuffs all strike then they're able to um that they
get a locked debuff of stagger as well I I believe if I remember correctly. So anyways my my Bogaton is a pretty I mean I I' I've modded her to be pretty tanky and she's relic 8 and all that. Um, so anyways, we managed to kill Seir or sorry, uh, uh, what's her name? It's not Seir, the Keradoon, which which is great. Uh, remember Keradoon doesn't die unless she um well while well, she has the the potency up buff, but because Bokeaton was the one who killed her with a basic, it dispelled the potency up
buff and then killed Keradoon. And she was like, "Ah, crap." I think that was verbatim the thing she said. She was like, "Ah, crap." It was It was not dignified. It was like, "Really? You kind of sound a little stupid there." But I I don't know. She She just She just continued continued on. All right, let's mass assist here. And this is where it would have been nice to have OG bow because she was able like she'd be able to heal the team at during that mass assist. And remember, we're not using the Rolocron. This
is just uh a scary, frustrating counter, and this is always how it's been against a well- modded Saw team. And he has a really good datacron that that Jawacron is is really really strong. Um it's it it's pretty scary. the the reason OG [clears throat] Bo died was cuz she wasn't able to get enough stacks of of the I forget what it's called, but the Bokeaton uh unique buff that she hands out if she's lead. Uh she wasn't able to get any of that or enough of that before they they just butchered her a couple
times. So anyways, pretty bad banners, pretty scary fight. And if I I would just say if you don't have a really strong Bogaton team, a really strong SAW team is with a good datacron is really going to be hard for you. You can try to do it. It's just really tough. Okay, so we kept Inquisition here and it's not my very favorite counter here of all time, but um I mean Inquisition with the Ninth Sister Datacron is probably going to beat Leia most of the time, especially because uh if R2-D2 is on the team, you're
going they're going to be passively cleansing themselves quite a bit, which means a lot of death mark on them. Look at look at the stupid trash can taking like 12 turns in a row. What a what a little douche. Dear lord. So anyways, we kill our two. Um, but Drogan and Leia still cle well, Drogan cleanses himself. Uh, which is good. I mean, it's nice that he has good hygiene, hygienic habits, but um, you know, it it's also reason to death mark him, I guess. So, let's um I mean, I'd like to get good banners.
At this point, we're just kind of in Zerg mode, though. Uh, he put so much on defense. So, I'm just like, if we can just full clear. Not that he'll necessarily be unable to clear me, but I mean that that's what we've got. And then, okay, so we have Jedi Master Luke left, but he also has Mace on defense. And I know you guys you you you guys love to hate Mace. You you think the Mace is the worst, that he sucks. Um, if you don't have much if you have Jedi Master Luke and uh
like and this and then you'll still have to kill Hondo and you still have to kill like Oh yeah, we have Leia, but we have to kill Hondo and Leia is the only thing that can kill Hondo. Um, Jedi Master Mace is is really scary. I I don't have anything like we already used Treya. We already used all the things that are good against Mace. And so, uh, we need we need something to work. We need either Leia to work right away against Hondo or we need, uh, EP Stariller to work right away against, uh,
against the Ray team with the new Ray Cron that gives her the ultimate right away and Ezra, which is just it it's scary, guys. And so, I just started with a basic with because they all start with Foresight because Ezra's on the team. And so just start with a basic with uh w with Mara Jade to get shock onto Ray and and to just get rid of the foresight so we're not wasting the AoE. And then I decided to try to stun everyone with with uh with Palpatine just to take away turns cuz he can
cycle through his turns pretty quick. Look at that. Ray's already got her ultimate. Um all right. All right, so we got shock on everyone and uh Oh, well, yeah, we what I should have done there actually was use his AoE to cycle through a little bit faster. Um, just so we can just so we can stun, but this is really important, guys, for this counter. And I know this counter is going to kind of go away once the stranger is here, but the thing you have to realize is shock on this team is so important
to control everything. fight. Like Ezra is terrifying, but there's no way to dispel it unless Bareris passively dispels it or Cal takes a turn and uses one of his abilities to dispel uh shock. There's no way for them to get rid of it or the stuns. And so if you can get shock on them all and then you can do a two-turn stun with uh with Palpatine and then get shock back onto everyone after that, it's going to be awesome. And like that that's the goal is to just keep shock on everyone and except when
you can trade it in with a AoE's pal or Palpatines's AoE for a two-turn stun. And so you just want shock on everyone, control everyone, eventually get everyone into damage immunity. And uh you can see Cal's already starting to evade like like the that he is. And uh we just we can't hit him. But um all right, cool. So, we we hit Ben except okay, finally we get we got get him into damage immunity. They're all basically in damage immunity now, which is which is great. Um, we want shock also because Cal is also handing
out. I mean, shock is just so important because it prevents turn meter gain, which Bareris gets passively and uh like it prevents bonus turn meter gain. We don't want her to get it passively. It prevents uh the protection up that buff that Cal hands out to everyone. It prevents that and uh it also allows you to two turn stun with Palpatine. Like shock in this match is is just of paramount importance. So we're also we're saving the Star Destroyer of healing for a time that's going to work. And and you'll note that I'm just putting
healing immunity, undispellable healing immunity on people a as we go along um instead of like as we're as we're waiting. Okay, so the the left side of our team is is dead now. Uh which is great. Old Ben uh we traded old Ben for some turn meter and now uh probably the best time to use the star destroyer of healing. I was like if I could just kill Ezra that's probably enough. I'm probably okay with that. But getting all the buff immunity stuff on Ray is great. And then we got stagger to trigger on her.
And so now she doesn't have any turn meter. I mean, she will eventually, but gosh. Okay, can we actually can we just take out Ben and then immediately take out Ray? Oh my gosh. Amazing. So there's no revives allowed or around anymore. So let's um let's try to get let's try to get shock and stagger on everyone. We'll just kill stupid Ben as much as we can. Uh the search for Ben Solo is uh has occurred and um we we found him wanting um wanting his mother. Uh and we can't hit Cal, but eventually we
can if if uh if Stariller decides to get off his ass, which he does. So, yay. We killed one shot a Ray team with Ezra. uh not the highest win rate, but if you want to see how a more standard Ray team gets beat by a more standard uh Star Killer team, uh keep watching. We'll we'll go through that on my alt. But um okay, so we've got Hondo to kill left and we've got Jedi Master Luke. We don't have We have We have Jedi Master Luke. Sorry, they have Jedi Master Mace and Hondo. Um
and honestly, I'm I'm going a little bit out of order actually. I've been fighting Hondo and it is an Just huge spoiler alert, guys. The Leia fight didn't go the best. And I was like, gosh, Hondao's in the back, though. And we really need to get to ships. Even if we can't full clear, at least we can maybe get three zones and my opponent might get stalled on my on the incredible bullwark that is my defense. So instead, we're going to we're going to use um we're going to use Jedi Master Luke here to get
through the last team on the top to get through the to ships. And um I mean Jedi Master Luke with with his cter of of followers, it is really just I mean it this this is a really high win percentage. It really is. Um even if you don't really know what you're doing, if you just button mash. Honestly, I wasn't button mashing though. I knew like like Jedi Cal hits under protection and uh it works pretty well. Oh yeah. So just just uh for for the record guys, we're we're going to go to my alt
for just one second. Um and he has Jedi Master Mace. He doesn't have Jocasta new, but this this uh result is basically always the same. Anyways, Treya just deletes this team. It's like a 90s something% counter. If if you have a decent team, I even got Savage up to relic six, guys. You should be proud of me. He's been Relic 3 for years, like probably actual literal years. Um, but I I just wanted to keep these two fights together and uh to prolong the suspense cuz we're going to have to fight Hondo here pretty soon,
right? Um, okay. So, kill Mace first because you kill Jocasta first, guys, but she's not here. My opponent on my alt had this really weird like I I don't want to bash him. It was just so bizarre that I feel like I have to tattlele on him to the whole world. Uh because he's he's in the top of Kyber 2, so not exactly like a lowlevel league. And he clearly knew his counters. Like he only failed against me twice. Uh so he's he got a really good score. He doesn't have any conquest characters though. He
doesn't have Pointy Teeth Ray. He doesn't have uh he he doesn't have Ezra and he doesn't have Jocasta New. It it was just a a very strange like my guess it would be he just returned to the game because he also doesn't have Glatt and um Pirate King Hondo. That's probably what happened and somehow he he was still able to unlock Mace ear. I I don't I'm weirded out by it. Anyways, Treya works on this team guys. I probably shouldn't have made it as slow as it is. You guys know how it works. But uh
mace is a problem unless you have like Treya or Jedi Master Luke. So there it goes. 665. [music] Okay. So Pyro King Honda. We we we're doing we're doing this. I we don't know how the the um ad red cron is going to work in conjunction with Leia. I had a couple people in my chat while I was streaming this tell me that that it worked really well to use K2. And my K2 is not bad. He's relic 7. He's got his Zeta. He's he's got decent mods, so I was like, "Sure, let's do that.
Let's try it." And and then um gosh, they if they'd killed Adred right here, we would have just been completely screwed. Um didn't do the AoE cuz they didn't want him to hit him back and kill him potentially. Um so anyways, we're uh the idea here is someone someone in my chat was like, "Yeah, this this worked for me." Uh you just got you have to kill Vain first because otherwise you can't really kill Hondo uh because of kit reasons and and so um we've got our alt like kind of quickly and um okay so
do the alt. Everyone is fractured. Cool. Um so we're going to kill Vain here and probably Okay, so Vain auto revived cuz uh cuz screw that guy. Uh killed him again though. And then of course Honda's about to uh ultimate so that he can um so so that the whole team can revive. And I I guess I I don't hate Leia the most. Like she's she's a pretty awesome character, but the one pro like one problem that she has is she doesn't deny revives. Um and okay, they killed they killed uh Drogan as well. This
is pretty tragic. Um, now there there comes this point, folks, where we should probably just pause and I'll I'll show you. So, we kill Vain again. All right. And they can't kill Jyn. Thank Thank goodness that they just think they should kill Jyn. Um, okay. So, we alt here. Everyone's very close to death, as you'll see. Now, Jyn can do the AoE, revive someone, and probably kill everyone. Honda's about to take a turn. So, what we should do is AoE kill everyone. And this is where Hondo next. He's going to pop his alult that he's
going next. He's put I should just time out here. That's what I should do because we're not doing super well, right? Like Droen's almost dead. I mean, we're doing okay, but like that the stick hit is not going to kill Hondo probably, right? So, I should probably just pause, let it time out, and then just clean him up. But like an idiot, I let him revive the whole team. I kill Vain and decide. Well, it takes a while, I guess, to decide. I was like, well, we can still fight. Maybe we should still fight cuz
Vain Bane is a huge problem. And he's got a ton of relics on that. like he's he's really strong on this on on this team. Like like it's um yeah, it it it's a whole mess. And and I'm like gosh, we're almost we almost killed Pirate King Hondo there where we're like getting we're ramping decently. He's just he's ramping indeently. And of course, this is with the pirate cron, so he's going to be worse. Uh yeah, so he revives Vain again. And Leia's almost dead. Okay, so we kill Vain again. And I decide, let's just
time out. This way, at least we kill Vain, right? At least Vain is just gone. That the tank that can't be killed is killed and he can't be revived in subsequent fights. So, we're we're just going to uh time out. And it's taking a long time to get there, but we're finally we'll we'll get there, guys. Don't don't you worry. I'm going to drink a drink of water here. Apparently, I didn't cut this part out. Sorry. All right. [clears throat] So, um I tried guns, didn't work. Uh we're trying Bad Batch now. And uh the
goal here is to only kill one character. If we can kill Brutus or Silvo, that's great because we still do have Bane left. Bane doesn't kill Hondo on his own. It's like a 0% win rate. Um, it's like a 50% win rate in fives even if you use sid eternal emperor. So anyways, they they've already made O Omega and uh Recker sit down which which isn't a good sign. Um but we did kill Brutus and then he self-revived again. Um cuz cuz that's what they do. Um but if we can kill get one more kill
here uh then we're just going to time out. That that's what we're going to do. Um, I'd been ramping pretty good with this team and uh but but then Brutus went into uh stealth, but we still want to kill Brutus because I I just don't I think Brutus does too much damage and kills Bane potentially. Like he just ramps too much with Hondo. So anyways, there we go. Um I just cut out the whole waiting for uh timeout. We killed killed Brutus and we're moving on. So now now we have Bane left and uh just
bring a random relicate Sith use a basic to kill Silvo and then I needed to do the AoE so I could ramp better. Um and you can see I was like oh my gosh we're going to kill Hondo so fast and then he he does he gets stronger and he gets tougher to kill. Um so anyways I think at some point the I think we're fast I think we're at like 200% speed right now. that that might not have even been enough, but um so when he pops his alt, he can he can revive the
the droid. Uh if you use a basic with Bane, of course, it stops the revive. And uh these are all things that we you need to be paying attention to, folks. Like stopping revives has become a really important thing with the advent of Ma Canada and with Kicks reviving everyone and Hondo reviving all his team members. Like it it's it's a whole mess. You need to be able to prevent revives. Luckily, we do have a lot of characters that prevent them. It ju it just takes a while to get to um it it just you
just have to realize which characters do that. And like Balin prevents revives, I think. Or maybe it's Mace. Mace does prevent revives. I think Balin also does, but Balin isn't going to be that good against uh pirates. So, anyways, Bane does out ramp Hondo. It just takes a freaking long time, and we really don't want uh the stupid droid to actually get a turn. Um, so anyways, it's it's been three minutes. Can we actually kill Hondo? It it's kind of looking like we're we're not catching up to him, but eventually we do a a pretty
smooth 1.8 million. So, anyways, uh, we cleared him. It It was a It was a huge mess. Uh, dropped about 140 139 banners, I think. Uh, last I looked, my opponent got through my front zone with one fail. Uh, and is now stuck on a SA team. I I don't know if that's a permanent stuck or he's tried it five times without a kill, but I don't know if that if that's going to hold or not, but looks like it really at least giving him some struggles. So, anyways, back to my alt account now. Uh
we only have a few a few fights on this account that uh are worth noting. He put some pretty garbage teams down and some pretty good teams. We have Bogaton with the Rolocron. This is pretty standard for this meta, guys. This is uh we did it last all last season and I I don't you just kind of to kill Lord Vader now. You could with a good Bogaton team kill Lord Vader, but it would be very very sketchy and um not not super consistent. Like I I would guess that if someone tried to do that
to my Lord Vader team uh without a Roloccron, they like someone might succeed, but then they probably fail uh like the next three times or or something. I I don't know. I'm just being cocky, I'm sure. Uh, poor old IG keeled over. He just couldn't couldn't handle the the pressure, but uh neither could Lord Vader. And this is a weird bug where you kill Appo's uh Nightfall Trooper guy. And then I I wanted to keep uh killing I wanted to keep killing the uh the Nightfall Trooper to to regain all my um all my health
and protection, but you can't target him. You can only target Appo. So, kill Appo, drop five banners. All right, fine. Fair enough. All right. So, here's the other Leia team. Um, or the other, sorry, the the Ray team and and it's got the good Rayron. It It's good. Um, and again, notice my use of shock here. Like, shock is so important, especially uh as you crit Kenobi, he is going to or crit anyone while Kenobi's alive. Well, you we just stick you stick Ray to kill him, but um you you really need to control the
situation by putting shock on everyone because otherwise he hands out that uh crit immunity like it's candy. Uh and you also don't want to be uh if you crit someone while uh Bars is on the team, she'll also passively heal them. And so you just want her to not do that. You want Kell to not apply the protection up. And shock controls all of that. No turn meter, no protection up, no healing, no uh no crit immunity, nothing. All right, Scavray, can you just kill Baris? Thank you. She's just uh she's so such a nice
You don't need Stick Ray there, but it's super fun. I don't know why you wouldn't use Stick Ray there. All right, let's get let's try to get Ray into damage immunity if at all possible. Um, we could do a two-turn stun again. If I was first I was like first look look let's try to get her into damage immunity if possible. Oh, we got stagger and damage immunity at the same time. Uh, just an amazing uh lucky thing. And now I'm I'm waiting. I'm trying not to kill Cal right now because I want to use
the uh stair killer alt to kill him or just like a big hit from something else. I decided to throw the entire tire and it didn't quite kill cow which was a disappointment to say the least. But all right, she's in her alt again because she's stick or she's well she's not stickray. She used to have a stick. Now she has two sabers apparently. Um but she she's she's got her datacron uh that that lets her ult all the time. And uh all right so we get we got Cal. Let's get Ray. And I was
like okay let's just get her at like one hit point. And now let's just get the star destroyer of healing. Tried to kill her with uh try to kill Ben and then her. Uh didn't quite work, but it it I mean it did it did end up working. So all right. Um he had Balin here and uh so decided remember you don't want to do the AoE stun or the AoE ability block with Jedi Master Luke. Like you want to um you want to immediately mark Shin and just take her out cuz she's pretty weak.
And then you want to I I kind of messed around here at this I I uh I shouldn't have done I should have just tried to kill Balin next because Cal remember if when he's got repost which is his like double sabers symbol that he's got currently. When he does that then he's he's able to um Sorry there's like a clicking sound that I keep hearing. I apologize. um then then he's able to hit hit uh he gives him repost and he's able to hit under protection even well when when he's called to assist and
so I'm trying to kill Merik here it's just really not working so I was like look let's just take out Bor so much better and then Merik deleted himself uh cuz cuz that's what he does sometimes with his AoE when people have retribution and then um Kira and Dash you guys saw me use them earlier. I was like, "Oh, yeah. I'll just stun them." And then I realized, yeah, like the leadership from Balance still doesn't uh let you let us stun them. So, that that was that was a blunder on my end. But anyways, if
you kind of know what you're doing, that that counter works. Here's an old school one that I just thought was fun that you we just don't get to see very often. This is like years ago that this was developed, but CLS versus General Skywalker. Just old school, guys. Even if with even with data crons, we we do have the CLS cron, but you know, you stun Rex right away with Han just so that Rex isn't giving everyone a bunch of bonus turn meter and cleanses right away or sometime in an inconvenient time. And that way,
General Skywalker doesn't hit Han back right away either. use the shrug on Han to to get the passive kill or the passive kneel on on General Skywalker and get the kill. And then is this the last one? Oh, yeah. So, this is one I thought this was interesting to show folks. Uh it's the Finnzori team with a good resistance cron. Um and the reason I thought this was even more interesting, there goes Bars. Um was I thought this was going to be just like an easy fight. And um what ended up happening, so you'll note
that I I got fear on on the tank fin and then I made sure that uh resistance hero Finn, I made sure I wasn't like blinded or or some or you didn't have foresight or something like that and get the oneot kill with Malgus. Um I thought that they'd be in fear more often, but uh you got to you got to be pretty I don't know cy about uh like what what things you're hitting. I should have put ability block on Finn. Now, now I'm noticing I'm watching in hindsight. I should have tried to put
ability block with Malgus on on their uh tank because he was able to uh not only taunt but give them all tenacity up and um and get get rid of all of their uh get rid of all of their debuffs. So, I I I could have saved myself some headache there. uh do the AO or do the big hit from marauder on Finn because it reduces his max health and forget max health or max protection, but it makes him easier to kill. And then Zor is almost dead and then she takes a turn, goes into
stealth, heals herself. This guy taunts. Gosh, this is this is so frustrating. Um, one of the reasons this is interesting that I tried was trying to tell you before but I got distracted was uh Fatal, who I respect greatly, actually lost this counter. Um, and that's not shade on fatal. That that's more like I was surprised to hear that anyone failed it. But apparently this team is good enough to withstand a Malgus uh attack as well. And that's it, folks. Wow, this video ended up stretching really stupidly long. Thank you all so much for watching
and remember that in all things, Zerith prevails. taking a focus.
