So, I'm thinking of finally giving zeta to Barris for the Grand Arena. I'l probably put her in a Rex Wampa team. I just don't get why is everybody using her with GK when imho he is basicaly the worst thing you can put in the team, since he prevents enemies from scoring critical hits. I get that the mass assist from her healing ability is cool but besides that, what am I missing?

non-GK member of your team takes a crit. They are instantly healed 20% of their max health, gain crit immunity so it's harder to keep bursting them, and GK taunts. It works cuz both Zarris and GK tr
it was a super hard combo to get around. Not so much nowadays, but still considerable in GA/TW.
Well that's what the Barris zeta does and it's awesome, no doubt, but having GK on the team prevents the healing from crits because of the crit immunity from GK unique.
Shoretrooper makes the entire team crit immune, and then nobody can benefit off the heal
But they only get that when his taunt goes up, and he doesnt get crit immunity.
That’s because Kenobi isn’t good in arena as a leader anymore, mainly because of Traya and thrawn. But back in the day he used to be the team to use in arena. Almost everyone used him. So even though he’s not good in arena, him and Zarris with fives are an awesome defensive 3v3 team in GA.
Yes, this is one way to counter this team. It can be hard to maintain though , they have a lot of cleansing. It's not an invulnerable combo, but it was tough to get around for a while, and still has its merits.
In GA, if my GK-Zarriss team makes you use your Thrawn, I’ve probably already won.
Very true.
Anyway, thanks to everyone for the answers I sought.
Also, GK doesn’t give himself crit immunity. So unless you’ve got a plan to specifically deal with GKs taunt (Thrawn maybe), whenever you crit someone, they heal, and then you’re going to be bashing against a constantly healing GK taunt wall. It makes it difficult to focus down characters.
Newer than I thought it would be when I saw the title.
