Gar Saxon 7* G11 zeta'd arena video.
https://youtu.be/ZcCuhIigpGkI tried different team comps and this was the 1st comp that could handle a zaul lead squad. Keep in mind, I am not claiming this team is overpowered or the new meta or that Gar was the reason this team worked. I am sure there are several combinations that would perform just as well or maybe even better with Gar. Just posting this so people can take away whatever they want from it.

Yes, this was the exact point of the video.
I also don't think that Gar would work that well in this team. He is much more Empire orientated. It's like putting Echo with non-clones..
At least his kit seems like it would be a good addition to some comedy comps.
Umm lol no, that would be like putting Echo with other Clones because Zader runs an EMPIRE lead. Gar is EMPIRE. All bonuses under Zader leads will apply to Gar as they are in the SAME faction. Don't know what you failed to see but Gar's special will still reduce TM for those that apply + Zader TMR
What I was saying is that his team had only 2 empire allies, and his Leader ability gives bonuses ONLY to the Empire. My point was, that Gar with the team he used isn't as good. He can't give Obi-Wan or Nihilius counter chance, not defense, nor heal recovery on basic attack. And while I agree with you on his special ability working with Zader, it would be next to impossible to use it. He attacks every time an ally attacks OUT of their turn. This means a counter attack or if someone has called an ally to assist I guess. In a Zader led team, who will be the one to invoke this?
EDIT: I actually just noticed that it only happens DURING an enemy's turn. So even assisting wouldn't work. Only Counter Attack..
Zader teams don't need gar. There's no space. Even if you accept a tankless setup, Zid is a better 5th than Gar, bringing high speed, aoe dots and healing immunity. Mb if you take out Boba, but that leaves you incredibly vulnerable without an AB. And Gar's speed isn't good enough for that. His strength comes from the synergy between his leadership and unique abilities. Putting him into a Zader team makes no use of either.
Don't get me wrong. I like his kit a lot. I just don't think he will fit in a Zader team. He is amazing as a second leader next to Vader for story mode, though.
Edit: video is fun, but mainly showcases Gar's vulnerability to daze, and how the OP won despite it.
Under a Zader lead ANY attack. A N Y attack, has a possibility to remove turn meter. If Dooku double attacks someone (assuming it works properly because I've heard it not work) he will assist twice as well, and that's 4 [potential] times to have reduced TM. Catch my drift? But who tf uses Dooku in Zader leads anyways lol
No one because you taking tm from an enemy with 0 tm already
I am still not following you. So what you're saying is that if Dooku counters twice, Saxon would also do it. That I understand. However this still doesn't change the fact that he is severely dependent on allies with big counter chance and he will still need zader. If anything, for him to be useful he will need.... let's say Zader lead, TFP maybe, and then Him + Dooku? + Fives? So he can take assists from them and possibly reduce turn meter, but how is a CHANCE to attack with a CHANCE to remove TM from Vader's Zeta any better than simply having him + 2 more empire allies? Anyways, we are still waiting for the Empire rework so he might possible become viable if they rework one of the toons to cleanse(thus making daze useless).
That wasn't Mandalore...that was Krownest...
This kind of response is pretty old and tired. All the posters that rip on people that buy characters I would love to see an accounting of all their discretionary spending. I'm sure others could find some wasteful purchases to throw stones at.
Thanks @amusedam_1 for posting - good info to share. I do though think that was more about DN, hiding him among spam taunters and out selecting the AI. I would say that was similar to videos with Chewy as a leader with DN tucked between zBO and a 2nd taunter....or R1 / PX with DN or zKylo hidden.
I like Gar's kit - I think he can be good - I'm interested to see what they do with the rest of the Imperial. Quite possible he could pop out and shine with other updates potentially. The AOE looks fantastic for arena - the leader feels like it could be great in a raid.
Actually it's not.
Still. Cool vid OP.
Isn't it illegal to deface money like that?
Seems like CG designed Gar to work with Krennic +Trooper at least. Prob is dodge makes countering pretty unreliable in general. Perhaps try something like Gar, Krennic, DT, Chaze?
Edit: and use accuracy mods on everyone?
They have too low speed, small damage (5 counter in a row doesnt save them). If phoenix squad looks solid, new empire "threat" make me sad.
One chance - if try Krennic zeta leader, but...

He does too high damage?)

Please don't tell me Gar has been released with obvious bugs.
Gars lead only affects Empire which gives them a counter attack but his unique makes him assist when anyone counters including Jedi, Fives or Dooku etc.
