I keep running into a Kylo/Sid/Vader combo in GW that is wrecking havoc on me. Best way to counter this? Or a Kylo/Sid/Dooku. Advice greatly appreciated
+1 to the previous comment, dooku always last, Sidius could be 3 or 4 IMO (out of the 5) and try to kill Kylo instantly, if you leave him half dead he will do more damage.
I really hate heal immunity in GW (arena it's ok) because I prefer to use a Lumi heal at start of round rather than wait 3 turns for heal immunity to dissipate to pop her heal - this way next node Lumi's heal is ready for use
I usually start with sidious because he is faster than kylo
then burn kylo (his first attack is usually to get retribution so no heal immunity)
and finally dooku
I have QGJ has leader and make sure that GS is in correct slot to be called in for assist. one final slap from from GS to finish him off - either a basic or assist depending on Sid's health and whether GS has offence up
Kylo usually uses his aoe attack to get retribution, so still avoided heal immunity. and then I burn him down
then dooku time - he usually has already popped his stun, ability blocks and bonus combos which were being healed by Lumi's 3 turn heal I usually have popped that in her second turn
not sure what team you have but limit the amount of jedi against dooku and sid. I use QGJ for his speed buff / useful toolkit and lumi is must have healer for GW imo.
against a team like that I would typically use
- QGJ (L)
- GS
- Sid - fast and decent vs sith + self heal on enemy kill
- Lumi - Queen of GW heals, ability block and decent dps
- Daka - emergency heal and stun machine
things become a dice roll when Dooku Lead - his evasion/offence up buff makes it a lottery. if it is getting out of hand. retreat and send a kamikaze squad to nuke dooku - don't send suicide squad vs Sid he gets health back if one of your toon dies and typically that is what suicide squads do. also targeting kylo and not finishing him down is tricky next round because his dmg output increases when he has low health
YMMV so just experiment with different combinations and see which works best - always have retreat option in GW
Kylo/Sid/Vader are nightmare teams in GW for me too. I usually attack Vader first, because otherwise, after Sid and Vader dots, Vader is going to one shot one of my chars. I choose heal immunity gamble.

If you have any other variation, go Kylo, Sidious and Dooku. Maybe set them up with a suicide squad at first.

my 2 cents
good luck
Select the team, go into the game, see what character moves and retreat if you don't feel like winning.
Put another, more powerful toon in the place.
wish I had rey
