I'm currently running CLS Han OG Chew R2 L3 with decent success. Usually start my climb in the 80-120 range, can get into the top 20 by targeting anyone who doesn't run Revan. But into the top 20 it's usually a wall of Revan so I'm looking for something that can beat Revan at a decent clip, which my current team cannot do.
I just got my VanChew to G11 and thinking of trying him out. Assuming Han and OG Chew are also on the team, which of these options for the other two spots might work the best?
-CLS L3
-CLS Nest
-Qi'ra L3
-Qi'ra Nest
-Qi'ra CLS
I need a new message here.

Just my few cents.
A fast R2 with smokescreen leaving Nest exposed works okay-ish but it doesn't last long enough. And the Revans in my top 20 are over 300 speed so even my 297 speed R2 isn't fast enough to go first anyway.
The other option that is not listed that may work is Qira and Thrawn.
EDIT: I just realized he can't revive CLS either. So maybe Qi'ra and Nest?
I put in my no leader team with a g10 6* Zaalbar. Will see how it holds. I'm at 52 now.
Which 5th you pick is more dependent on who you usually face in arena. Revan squads don't have any issues with getting around or through taunting tanks, so L3 really won't do you much good. Stealth, however, they can't ignore, and thrawn can be used to control Revan or GMY while you kill Jolee if he's present.
Nest and r2 are very good at anti-jedi duty because she can dispel foresight and still deal damage on counters. With r2 in the mix, you can stealth everyone except Nest to let her soak up the heavy early damage output from Jedi. They don't have an mass dispel, so they'll have to bash at nest until someone comes out of stealth that can be marked or attacked. One tip if you go this route to is make sure you mod nest to have more effective health/prot than chewbacca so that nest is left out of stealth instead of chewbacca. Remember to add in r2's number crunch bonuse to chewie's stats.
If you have more sith squads ( Traya or EP lead), thrawn will be your best bet. Using fracture to control Traya or Sion will make it much easier to pull off a victory. It can sometimes be the only way to keep Sion out of a hatred revive-loop that will lead to a timeout.
I have Vandy g11 and zetad, so if you'd like I can try a couple test battles if you're interested before you zeta him. I have Qi'ra and L3 also ( g11 and g12 respectively ), but I doubt they'll be better than the other options. Qi'ra is pretty squishy and l3 takes a while to get ramped up fully, and you need to overwhelm a Revan squad with damage quickly or they'll be picked apart.
The few times I've beaten Revan I've done it with the R2/Nest combo and leaving Nest exposed, but it's very hit and miss. And the bigger problem is that even at 297 speed, my R2 cannot go first against most Revans. A Revan at 260 or higher will go first thanks to the +40 speed bonus.
Oh and I already zeta'd VanChew for TW.
This is what I'm going to try once I get more stars on VanChew.
