This is not a hate post necessarily, I've been enjoying my shiny 7 star g12 zetad Chewbacca alot but I gotta tell you that I don't know how to feel about those % health hits. When poor Darth Nihilus drops under 50% hp simply from hitting with Han-chewie-Han on top of the exposes by 3PO, then CLS easily finishes him even if there's a taunt fr sith Trooper UP; it just feels a bit wrong...
I don't know how to explain it but these matches are roller coasters, the damage this squad spits out is kind of insane. It almost makes me wonder if that's a good thing despite the fact that the Han-Chewie duo is one of my favorite in all of star wars.

Revan teams have massive damage coming out of GMY, and multiple stuns. (not to mention they don't really output the debuffs to reach unkillable amounts of health, right?)
CLS teams have chewbacca's %health and C3's exposes
JTR is expose engine. C3 as well.
NS have plauge
Sith teams have their DN, who can annihilate
..that's all the mainstream arena teams right?
Honestly thought they don't counter Revan, they only counter Traya and the problem with that is that far too many squads counter Traya far too soon.
However in this setup you're not battling his stacking health because he dies literally 15 seconds in, he doesn't even get to stack any health he just gets annihilated before he can even do anything. CG seems to have hopped on board with the "4v5 opening", Revan can 4v5 essentially with his focus ability, now Han and Chewie can bring the battle down to 4v5 before it even started. That's their way of expressing the powecreep it seems.
Well except Nihilus needs to take multiple turns before be can annihilate anyone, and he is constantly risking being punished for his force drain because squads who Counter attack will punish him hard. If he hits BB8 or CLS squad he can be in alot of trouble. The others essentially have no counter play, Revan can turn one use his focus fire ability, Han shoots First and CLS is fast enough to kill with his taunt ignore.
I think Sith are are definitely in the worst place in all of this.
Anyway there are higher priority targets on Sith teams to stun with Shoots First.
I don't run a meta team and maybe that is my issue, but I have to kill Sion first. If he gets hatred off its gg for me 90% of the time.
However, when the very 'next' turn is:
a fast CLS using special 3 + Chewie assist.
Then using special 2 + Chewie assist.
Is death to nihilus every single time.
It's why the CLS/c3po/R2/Han/Chewie squad can auto traya leads
I've also never lost a match vs CLS teams (including 3PO) with Trio, Thrawn, Nest.
I don't see the "damage" that is "real", sorry.
They do for me.

gg reporting is inconsistent and doesn't record until an hour after my payout so I've dropped some by the time they record most days, but last five days I've finished first 3 times and second the other 2.
I told it my payout was an hour earlier then it actually is to counter that crazy lag.
That said, if you can survive the opener, they are quite beatable too.
EDIT if darth revan does appear he will prob be godly with her.... but i dont have dark OR characters activated either..... between way new legendaries running and this and that i just have zero resources to pump into sith unless they help me beat a raid better than someone else
