TODO https://www.reddit.com/r/SWGalaxyOfHeroes/comments/mx8eof/what_are_some_useful_slkr_squads/gvmpo2g?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web2x&context=3

= Tips =
 * Key is too have focus on a tank, either:
 * Fives through hard-coded mechanics
 * Wat tank tech
 * reoccuring taunt like GBA (Brute will get taunt when GBA revives)
 * 5v5 Supreme Leader Kylo Ren Counters
 * Any SLKR(U) counters?
 * Climb in Squad Arena Supreme Leader Kylo Ren Galactic Legend

= Cleanup =
 * Vader/Thrawn + Wat + Pretaunt + flex: Clean-up SLKR in GAC
 * First Order: SLKR cleanup with OG FO
 * JKR: Lone SLKR cleanup - JKR, GMY, Jolee, Bastila, Hermit Yoda

= Mirror =
 * Slower Supreme Leader Kylo Mirror Matches! Does it Matter If Yours Is Slower?
 * The Best SLKR Team For Arena: Ultimate Ability Edition
 * 100% Winrate on SLKR Mirror Matches

= SLKR with double tank = May work with other variations, possibly even better than against double tank.

Double tank (SLKR, KRU, Hux, Red, FOST)

 * Let's talk about SL Kylo Ren mirror matches

SLKR/KRU/Thrawn/Traya/Malak
Works with non-ultimate SLKR, but your SLKR needs to be SLOWER, otherwise SLKR will stun your Malak.

This video leaves out some important detail, but check the comments: SLKR Mirror Matches Made EASY!


 * 1) SLKR aoe focusing KRU
 * 2) Thrawn TM swap Traya
 * 3) Traya isolate FOST
 * 4) Thrawn fracture SLKR. Give CD reduction to Thrawn
 * 5) Malak shock KRU
 * 6) Kill Sith Trooper
 * 7) Kill Hux
 * 8) Kill Fost
 * 9) Keep KRU shocked with Malak while you focus SLKR
 * 10) Kill KRU, if not done via aoe while going after SLKR

When enemy SLKR becomes un-fracture, you may want to use aoe to give Thrawn/Traya/Malak Advantage to keep them around for longer.

Vader Beats GL Kylo w/ Malak!

GAS lead

 * Extras: Han, Wat, C3PO

Notes:
 * Important: want high offense, low protection (sub 70k) GAS as you want him to go down easily, as SLKR will only Ultimate and AOE when he is up
 * Offense arrow rather than Speed arrow (if you don't mind mod-swapping for GAS 501st)

Versus SLKR + Malak:
 * GAS + Fives cheese their way through SLKR + Malak - requires Hoda.
 * Non-GL counter to this team?

 * Countering SL Kylo Ren: GAS + Fives - More Cheese Anyone?
 * GAS + Fives grate more cheese over SL Kylo Ren and Sith Empire

GAS/Fives/Chewy/Han/C3PO
Modding:
 * Fives must get guard, so prefer Defense primaries
 * GAS should be a glass cannon, so he takes a knee quickly. SLKR only Aoes and Ultimates while GAS is standing

Turn order:
 * 1) Han stun Red. Note: could go straight for FOST, but don't want Red taking turns and building Ultimate.
 * 2) Fives call Assist with Han against FOST
 * 3) C3PO call Assist with Han against FOST
 * 4) Chewy stun FOST
 * 5) Han Deadeye FOST (FOST hopefully dead now)
 * 6) GAS Force Grip KRU
 * 7) C3PO Confuse KRU
 * 8) Chewy AOE Dispell
 * 9) Kill Red
 * 10) Kill Hux
 * 11) Ignore KRU - only reapply Confuse if needed, focus SLKR

Notes:
 * FOO instead of FOST is an easier win, as only need to land one Confuse
 * Try to keep Confusion on KRU at all times
 * Only use Chewy's expel for when KRU has Taunt and Confusion. You don't want him counter-attacking and regaining taunt!
 * Kill SLKR before KRU
 * Fives assist on Han for damage and reduce TM (note: this adds health though, so be careful) OR on Chewie to regen protection OR C3PO to apply Confuse
 * Can also attempt Confuse on SLKR so that he cannot regain advantage
 * Vader instead of fost:
 * Stun Vader AFTER stunning Sith Trooper
 * Vader is higher priority kill than Sith Trooper

Videos:
 * GAS, Fives, Chewie, Han and C-3PO vs SL Kylo Ren
 * Countering SL Kylo Ren: GAS + Fives - More Cheese Anyone? - doesn't cover C3PO, but still relevant

= SLKR with Sith Empire =

GAS/Fives/Chewy/Han/Wat
Turn order:

 * 2) Stun Hux
 * 3) Tank tech on Fives
 * 4) Focus Hux
 * 5) Focus Malak
 * 6) Focus BSF
 * 7) Focus DR (will equalise health with SLKR, which is great)
 * 8) Focus SLKR

Notes: - Use Wat to cleanse Shock, etc. - Don't really need med tech on Chewy

Videos:
 * GAS + Fives grate more cheese over SL Kylo Ren and Sith Empire

GAS/Fives/Chewy/Han/Vader
https://www.reddit.com/r/SWGalaxyOfHeroes/comments/ls55su/slkr_and_jml_non_gl_counters/gop6pcv/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web2x&context=3 - however, very difficult to keep guard on Fives rather than Vader!

GAS/Fives/Thrawn/Wat/Vader
https://swgoh.gg/p/128331493/

= 3v3 = Three team strategy is most reliable - assuming SLKR and KRU + 1, without KRU, perhaps don't need filler or cleanup:
 * 1) Filler team (consume first round of cool downs)
 * 2) GAS/5s/Chewie (first attempt, 60-70% chance)
 * 3) Cleanup team:
 * Thrawn + 2, ideally pretaunt and big damage dealer like Vader
 * CLS/Chewpio/Han
 * DR/BSF/Malak


 * How do you counter GL Kylo in 3v3?
 * How to you take out GL Kylo 3v3? Even if it takes 2 shots.
