Genosians defending in TW
Genosians defending in GA.
Guess who did the successful defending
Yes, there are some teams that can beat Genosians. But those are teams you likely want to use for other counters. Right now I am seeing Genosians with a lot of defense wins. While the GP from Jawa isn't our preferred spending on GP, it probably is the cheapest effective counter to Geos. Jawa Engineer is the only 1 that is slightly challenging to 7*.
Summation: People had been saying at least there is 1 reason now to have some GP in Jawa, but really there are 2. Geos are defending well in 2 parts of the game, and hilariously there are guilds currently losing TW because of a handful of Geo teams racking up 10-20 defenses when if only those guilds had a handful of Jawa teams it wouldn't be am issue.
And there is 1 really big bonus: it is a team that would require 0 of your speed (type, primary, or secondary) mods and a great opportunity to use all of your critical avoidance arrows.

I'm at just under 4mil GP and have seen Geos on defense 0 times in GA. If I had built up my jawas, they would have gone to waste every time.
1. Opponents in GA will check your roster and if you have Jawas, GEOs become Offense
2. That leaves TW where the same thing can happen on swgoh.gg data review
3. There are higher priorities and Jawas only work if your opponent doesn’t look at rosters
4. They are a one trick pony that only works when the other person is careless — that is a hard sell to farm AND gear for something that is avoidable
Lots of us were forced to farm them for mod challenges before, so many folks just have the team lying around. I'm curious how high a gear level they need to be an effective counter?

Thanks!
A couple more:
5. There is still a massive RNG issue. If Scavenger gets focused down first or second, you've probably lost the match.
6. In GA, even if you win with Jawas, you're likely getting very few points because most of your team is dead.
Valid points. But considering how many people here are crying about their opponents being 1mil+ GP above theirs and have 345656 more g12 chars I think if somone has a ~g10 avg jawa team lying around (or can spent just a bit of gear to get them there) and just needs to mod his JE for speed, JS for CC and the rest a bit tanky, then this might be an investment worth it. For the top level of GAC it's going to be a different story for sure where every point matters.
And I try to hit an average of 57 banners per attack.
I faced a g8 team with a g10 brood alpha. I used CLS just because I had never faced them before. Alpha was REALLY hard to kill. I was pretty surprised. At high gear they should be extremely nasty
Any recent meta (revans, padme, traya, CLS) can beat them easily, and others can as well - Nightsisters can do it in a pinch, and I would guess zCarth could probably pull it off too if they were fast enough.
Jawas work, but they'll be absolutely trounced by any other team at an equal gear level, and it will be a very low-banner win since 3 or 4 of them will almost certainly die before the detonator festival commences.
Allowed me to save Sion (and perhaps others) to use under Palp or DRevan lead.
1. Jawas are awesome. I love them.
2. Enough said.
Woah woah woah. Learn how to use Jawas. On a Jawa team, Jawa is your main damage dealer, as his basic deals 35% more to debuffed enemies. By far, the most useless Jawa is Dathcha.
The closest anything has become to being Darth URoRRuR'R'R would be Darth Krayt - a Jedi turned Tusken turned Sith.
No. What we are assuming is that it's not necessarily worth farming/gearing jawas as a counter to geos. If there is an event in the future where jawas are needed, then they become worth gearing.
Jawas don't attack, why does it matter? The only one relevant is scavenger for his unique
It waz a joke Cpt. Serious.
