Geos attacked my g12 jawa scavenger before any of my g11 jawas

Vomit4Sale

Like the title says but this is new. I always use my jawas and the reason i took scavenger to g12 was so that he wouldn't be targeted.
Anyone else experience this? We're geos changed despite CG saying they wouldnt change this interaction?

Why would higher gear make him less likely to be targeted?

CCyrilS

The reason scavenger isn't usually targeted is because he stealths. Doesn't always work out.

But no, nothing changed.

I have a hard time believing either of these. I have tested by moving mods and altering health and have reliably predicted and had play out the same attack pattern for many many gac rounds. It has always been my lowest hp charachter in order to the highest, every....time. Until today.

Jawas never were a guaranteed win against Geos... some times you win some times you lose. Gear doesn’t change AI targeting

geos always seem to target 1 of my toons, but i've never noticed a clear pattern in which one they target. Geos having better targetting (focus fire) than other teams is not even something i'm sure about, it might just be my selective memory.

Is it possible that "many many" is a small sample size or that you dont recall all of your battles correctly?

The 1 you want fastest is JE.

Otherwise GBA can sweep immediately

I 100% agree with the guy who started the thread. It’s the reason I found this thread cuz I search as to why my jawa scavenger is target every single time by geos no matter what regardless of any changes I make to my Jawas. Anyone who says that they didn’t change this to make it that way to appease the crybabies whining how their bugs we’re getting destroyed by less modded toons, is either lying or an ****.

The only way to make that team work reliably is to make your Engineer fast enough to TM boost the rest before the Geos move, so Scavenger can get into stealth. Otherwise it's always a roll of the dice that your scavenger just gets waxed right away.

Do yourself a favor and find a better Geo counter though. Even if you win with Jawas it's likely to be a messy, low-banner victory.

Jawas aren't that good.
There's no conspiracy here,
Try better counters.

Absolutely right on both points. If you aren't stealthing JS immediately your fate rests with RNG. Otherwise, up to a certain gear level, it's basically a guaranteed, albeit low scoring, victory.

Jawas are ok to throw up against some lesser TW defenders, but not ideal for GA. In other words, if you have them already, great, use them wisely. Otherwise forget they exist.

^this absolutely right . If you have them geared and have nothing else to use against geos yeah use them wisely, otherwise they are a team that should be used when you have taken 4 battles on a team and need a suicide squad lol .

And I know a guy who insists that Geos will always attack Nightsister Zombie over and over and over and over and over ad nauseum and never attack any other character regardless of Taunt. Even had a convincing video of this cheesy counter.
So I tried it. My GAC experience disagrees rather vehemently with the previous conclusion.

The very definition of not being the definition of something ambiguously anecdotal.
