state of the game
im F2P have 8 g13 now, after losing to this, ok bad rng first fight. then my traya w/thrawn loses badly, then my JKR squad melts. idk guys i think its time to play something else.
Relics made things worse
these epic characters are getting ridiculous
if i could opt out the rest of the GA i would.
next round ill probably just set my best teams out front and shut out my opponents from feats.
dont mean to rant just questioning why i play this game anymore
before anyone freaks out and calls me a noob, i went at this with a decent team that performs well in arena.
just find it frustrating to be unable to kill 3 toons after losing the only counter.

There is no way you only take out two (or one on the first fight?) characters from a DR team with G13 Padmé if you play it at least a little smart. If you know what you are doing, there's no reason not to gear Padmé.
The only counter? Really? That’s.... interesting.
His problem is that ahsoka isn't past g12. Everyone talks about r7 Ani, but ahsoka is an offensive powerhouse as well.
She can one shot that SiT easy.
Padme was never quite top-tier, I think it's been clear from the start that she was always meant to be a versatile all-purpose GR b-team leader. You can stick almost any GR unit in that squad and it'll punch above its weight. Sounds great for TB.
Ummm you used terrible teams against it. Those don't match up well.. that's your problem...
But alas, I can defeat most DR teams with a SHaak Ti lead a few clones and JKA. And if I wanted to I could invest in a GG nuke team with 1 zeta to T3M4, but I do pretty well as it is. Those are 2 known hard counters to DR. And I have beated a DR team with rebels. A few times actually. And many do consistently.
Your lack of foresight into what you need on Offense to stifle their best defensive team was your own undoing.
You can have way more at 4m GP. Why don't you?
At least GK and Anakin are worth taking to g13 and r7. Any DRM that a g12 Padme can't counter you can take out with this Bastila-led JKR team:
B squad? All things equal, there is not a squad she can't beat. That is not a B squad.
Now for those who don't know how to use her, or are foolish enough to use her without Ahsoka, then I guess it's a different story.
SiT, easy? YEP! My CLS was r6 with guard just the other day, full health and prot with a defense off-set, she 1 shot whirlwinded him.
I'm F2p as well, with less g13s than you and lower relic levels than you. Win rate so far about 85% in division 1. And as already pointed out in another response, you have higher relic levels than your opponent. That should prove that relics are not your problem here. Either your roster, your strategy or your execution of that strategy is.
Honestly thought i was toast but somehow won this.
Ewoks and Nightsisters can also beat anything with some effort. They're still b-squads. Top-tier meta teams like DR or JKR when he came out, on the other hand, can beat almost anything with no effort.
And you're using Ahsoka in that Padme squad of yours. She's meta, and belongs in a GAS squad. Switch out Ahsoka, and suddenly Padme only packs half the punch.
No Padme is a b-squad leader. Was almost meta upon release, can even beat meta teams... Why? Because it's a **** good versatile b-team squad. Just wait and see in the coming months. Padme will probably be your go-to kitchen sink TB lead, after having burnt such squads as JKR, GAS, and CLS, Padme can get you a decent score with almost any LS toons. She's not just a b-team leader, she's the ultimate b-team leader. And that's a good thing! Now now, I know some of you really wanted Padme to be the next meta thing. She wasn't. She's the b-team.
Don't remember the last time I saw ewoks or NS in top 20 arena.
But go ahead and undersestimate her. Makes it easier for those of us who have her.
Oh I have her. G11 with zetas, and she's good too. So good in fact, that she's perfect for a b-team leader. You keep replying as if i said Padme is crap or something, and I never did. In fact, for me to even remotely consider building her into a b-team leader, she'd have to be good and able to beat most things in the game, otherwise, what's the point? The thing is, that she lacks the sort of game-breaking meta-shaking mechanics like DR or JKR, GSK, or Traya and CLS before that. Most of which are only very powerful in very specific setups. Meanwhile Padme has the most versatile leader ability released in a very long time. She's the b-team leader. Just accept it.
