SLKR lead
Posts:
 * Can anyone give me an SLKR team that reliably beats Rey teams? Or maybe my strategy is bad? - several good comps in comments
 * GL Arena teams

SLKR/KRU/HUX/Red/FOO

 * SWGOH: 100% Everyday Arena SLKR vs Rey

With Thrawn and Traya

 * Comp: SLKR/Hux/Foo/Thrawn/Traya
 * Works without ultimate
 * Assuming GK, GAS/JKR, Finn and Poe. Though works for other variations. In this comp, JKR cannot saviour himself if hit by SLKR, only GK if hit by SLKR. Jolee may be used instead of GK.

Steps:
 * 1) SLKR poke GK (or GAS/Jolee). (poking others may land them in damage immunity and then Rey will go and wipe your guys out)
 * 2) HUX pass TM to SLKR
 * 3) SLKR poke Finn (or GAS/Jolee)
 * 4) Foo passes TM to SLKR
 * 5) SLKR aoes (focus GK/GAS/Finn)
 * 6) Thrawn swaps TM to Traya
 * 7) Traya isolates GK (or Hoda), focusing Thrawn
 * 8) Thrawn fractures Rey
 * 9) Take out JKR because he can't saviour himself when not leader
 * 10) Take out other adds. Don't leave Jolee too late, as don't want revives
 * 11) While Rey and/or adds have damage immunity, keep using poke/basic and aoe to build mastery
 * 12) Rey will whirlwind, but SLKR and 1/2 of your guys should survive. Take out Rey as priority next.

With Thrawn and Sith Empire
What am I doing wrong, I have SLKR and lose all the time to Rey

SLKR/KRU/HUX/Red/Thrawn

 * Thrawn helps get to Rey before her ultimate

DR lead
Defeat Rey & The Jedi In Arena Easily With DR, Vader, Thrawn, Wat & BSF! - Only works well when there is no tank pretaunt

With Malak/Thrawn/Wat

 * One Darth Revan Team Beats ALL Rey Teams! Is Rey's Ult Bugged

With Thrawn/Wat/GBA

 * Counter to GL Rey - The one with Darth Revan
 * Countering GL Rey and Reworked GL Kylo!

With Thrawn/Han Solo/GBA

 * Counter Ult Rey and SL Kylo, SIT, Hux, KRU, Malak with Darth Revan, Thrawn, GBA, BSF, Han Solo- DR/Wat/Thrawn/BSF/GBA

Vader lead
Comp: Vader/Wat/Thrawn/BSF + Traya/DR (DR shocks tanks in place of Traya Isolate)

Turn order:
 * 1) Wat Weapons Tech Vader
 * 2) Vader Mericless Massacre, focus JKR to remove TM
 * 3) Vader Force Crush JKR
 * 4) Vader Basic others
 * 5) Vader Force Crush JKR
 * 6) Thrawn TM Swap Traya
 * 7) Traya Isolate GK, reduce cooldowns of Vader
 * 8) Wat Med Pac Traya
 * 9) BSF Fear GAS. If second tank present, Wild Lightning the second tank rather than use Fear
 * 10) Thrawn Fracture Rey (must be before Rey goes a second time?)
 * 11) Vader Basic GAS
 * 12) BSF Wild Lightning Rey (or Fear if not used before)
 * 13) Wat Shield Tech Thrawn
 * 14) Vader Merciless Massacre, focus JKR to remove TM
 * 15) Vader Cull JKR (or Rey if it looks very promising - lots of dots)
 * 16) Vader Cull Fifth
 * 17) Take out Rey before GK and GAS if possible (possibly even JKR)

Notes: - Kill order: Rey, GAS, GK, JKR, Fifth - Trickier if they have second tank. Use Bastilla Shock in place of fear. If Fear doesn't land you may be fucked, so consider using Fear as normal, and take out second tank first. Most tanks have a hair bit of tenacity, so you need a really potent BSF, especially as Traya will cleanse Ferocity. Against double-tank, may want to use DR instead of Traya.

Thrawn lead
More suited for Rey with Resistance, so see notes there.

With Hoda

 * JKR + Thrawn -- VS -- Ultimate Rey + GAS - JKR/GAS/GMY/Thrawn/Hoda
 * Jedi Revan + Gas - VS - Rey + WAT - JKR/GAS/Bastilla/GK/Hoda

Without Hoda
Possibly Shaak TI in place of Hoda, so JKR/Bastilla/GMY/GK/Shaak Ti

= Rey with Resistance =

 * Rey/Finn/Poe/RJT/Holdo

Turn order:

 * 4) Thrawn fracture Rey
 * 5) Wat Weapons Tech Vader

= Rey with Clones =

Important that you do not trigger sacrifice! Echo will wipe your guys! If he wipes Thrawn, fracture will be lost and you will lose.

Note: Arc may have most health/protection other than Fives

SLKR lead
Steps:
 * 1) SLKR poke Fives
 * 2) HUX pass TM to SLKR
 * 3) SLKR poke Rey (not another clone, as subsequent AOE will trigger sacrifice)
 * 4) FOO passes TM to SLKR
 * 5) SLKR aoes (focus Rex)
 * 6) Thrawn swaps TM to Traya
 * 7) Traya isolates Echo, focusing Thrawn
 * 8) Thrawn fractures Rey
 * 9) Focus Echo - will Sacrifice, but as Isolated, won't revive?
 * 10) Focus Rex - hopefully he doesn't get to rexillate or rexillate misses due to decreased mastery
 * 11) Focus Arc

= Rey with CAT and Jedi =

SLKR/KRU/Hux/FOO/Red

 * 1) SLKR Poke GAS (or CAT?)
 * 2) Hux TM Swap SLKR
 * 3) SLKR Poke GK
 * 4) FOO TM Swap SLKR
 * 5) SLKR AOE focus GAS
 * 6) Focus Rey, then CAT. AOE focusing GAS

Tips:
 * KRU should stun CAT if possible
 * Priority for swipe is GAS (to lower accuracy) is GAS, otherwise focus Rey.
 * If just SLKR vs Rey, make sure SLKR in Ultimate before Rey does big swipe
