GL Rey with Chewpio

Been theory crafting and thought that maybe a really good defense team to use Chewpio would be under Rey with 3 other droids. Team build would be as follows:

GL Rey (lead)
C3P0
R2
Chewpio (add 125 speed with mods)
BB8

You get 32% TM boost from BB8 at the start of battle thanks to having 4 droids in the squad. Chewpio's base speed is 168 when g13. If you add just 125 more speed to Chewpio(pretty easy to do) and have every other droid have less speed, you will have Chewpio go first in the battle if you also don't add any speed to Rey at all and just go full offense stats on Rey. AOE blind to start the battle would really hamper a lot of the counters and R2 could put everyone but himself into stealth if you mod R2 for lots of protection and hp. 3P0 will help with the teams damage output by calling mass assists.

Turn order would be:

Chewpio (428 speed: 168 base+125 (mods)+30 (rey lead)+(323*0.32=103 speed) = 428)
R2
Rey
BB8
C3P0

The point is to blind everyone else and get stealth onto everyone but R2, thereby no Jedi Revans can mark Rey. Vader could dispel the stealth of course with his special. but r2 does help keep debuffs off when you allies crit because the debuffs all come off then and you could mod Rey for just tenacity (3 tenacity sets + tenacity cross) to minimize the dot's getting on Rey for a large culling blade. If C3P0 puts 3 stacks of confusion on Vader, whenever Vader uses his basic ability (which when he uses during merciless massacre ) he increases his cool downs by 1 every time.

    I've been running a similar comp in arena for the past month (GL Rey, 3p0, bb8, r2, L3) with decent success. Sounds like @Slaveen has been doing the same. I mod L3 for lots of H, Prot, D - with lifeblood on her, takes a long time to kill her. And her zeta combined with Rey's damage immunity keeps the whole squad alive long enough that I generally haven't lost anyone by the time Rey gets her ultimate off and BB8 gets illuminated destiny. Then it's game over. This comp relies on Rey for damage and will can consistently beat any meta GL squad, but takes a while, sometimes close to time out. L3's zeta is key because it means that droids are going down to 1% health then back up, which triggers whirlwind every time but allows them to survive.

    Against GL Kylo, goes like this:
    -GL Kylo statis strike on L3 / Rey lifeblood to L3 (either order depending on speed)
    -BB8 wiggle, R2 stealth gives passive taunt to L3 - R2 and BB8 will always go before any non-GL opponent
    -L3 soaks up damage, I gradually chip away at taunters first (KRU/Malak), then others (Hux, ST, FOO, etc.)
    -L3 will be taunting most of the time, and between her zeta and damage immunity, it's tough for the opponent to kill R2 or BB8 before she gets her taunt back since she gets 15% TM when any droid takes damage. And any time her zeta is triggers, Rey gets to do whirlwind.
    -Eventually it's 5 on 1 against GL Kylo. Focus all of Rey's ultimate on him to one-shot.

    Against GL Rey, goes like this:
    -Lifeblood to L3, active and passive taunt.
    -JKR has to mark L3 cause all others in stealth.
    -Kill JKR first if possible (if there's no Wat giving permataunt to GK), otherwise kill GK twice
    -Get to ultimate and illuminated destiny slowly (usually close to time out but 80% win rate)
