Please do something about Nest
I know it’s part of mechanics and strategy, but sometimes it totally seems like it shouldn’t be that way. I easily take down Traya teams with my CLS team but there’s a team with Nest in it and if I don’t get it exactly timed perfectly it ends up timing out with nest having health in the red. She stays there like a popsicle no matter what because of CLS and Han’s TM removal and R2’s stun on basic (although I try not to use that as much as possible). It’s just very irritating killing every character within the first 30 seconds and then having Nest sit there frozen for the whole length of the rest of the battle. I know the Nest users are going to say to kill her earlier which I do sometimes, and try to, however, with the DPS of my team I kill the others with counter attacks so fast that I can’t do anything about it. It seems completely broken. Can something please be done?
Thanks
Thanks

Or nest have to be nerfed cause ù do not use traya?
It takes some players longer than others to realise that the route to success is not just using the same 5 toons for every arena battle. Took me well over a year to figure it out! Hopefully the OP will catch on too.
1 - Whenever it's available use Han's two specials instead.
2 - Never CLS 1st special, even off cooldown. Don't even touch it. Always his basic: minimum TMR.
3 - Stun lock should be totally possible between CLS basic, Han 1st special, and R2 basic.
Only time I'd intentionally do CLS special is right after Nest has taken a turn and the bonus protection is gone. One big hard hit and applying tenacity down.
Thanks for the response. I do all 3 of those in the battles. She just sits there stunned and doesn't move and her TM barely moves as well. I try using smokescreen/burn, Han's specials, never use CLS specials and it never works.
I know that every character has strengths, etc, but she's not even labeled as a tank. If she was labeled as a tank and was specifically used just to take damage, then I guess I would think she is used as intended but I don't think all is correct with her just sitting there for over 2 minutes with 0 chance of beating her. I understand if there is a strategy to defeat a character, such as Talzin, Zombie, other revivers, etc. but this doesn't take any strategy, it just flat out becomes impossible and I'm stuck in that arena battle for the remainder of time when I clearly prepared to defeat a Traya team that easily.
Yep. When I face a team with nest I let her do what she wants and normally save her for last. She’ll die by just using basics.
CLS RHan JTR FOE FOTP did very well.
Actually, KRU’s stun skill is very great.
He can make her sleep by 2 turns.
If you are vs a nest with very little speed modding, and you are using a fast CLS team with Han you will never ever beat nest by leaving her to last.
It is possible to beat a slow nest with a fast CLS team, but it is very difficult.
You have to keep her stunned and kill her earlier. never use CLS to hit her at all unless its a finishing blow. his basic applies speed down which ensures you'll timeout, his special removes all TM. Never use hans basic on her.
It is sometimes better to intentionally let the enemy kill one of your toons (hopefully han or cls in this situation) to avoid a rebels 5v nest.
If they are running traya, keep traya alive too. Then smokescreen to make han or luke the target and let the AI kill them.
Basic attacks or not - the important thing is to not reduce her TM consistently, but instead let her take a turn, and then hit her hard.
That is exactly what I was stating.
Someone had advised to just set to auto basics attacks with cls and han.
That's not going to work.
Yes. I just compressed your statement to include the essentials only :-)
