So I ran into an issue while fighting nest today with my rebel squad.
In a situation of 5 v 1, Nest gets con stunned by my rebels and never (and I mean never) gets a turn because of all the TM Luke and Han put out. So she just keeps gaining protection and it never goes away and you can’t do enough damage to cut through it.
So even though I had 3 minutes left at that point and it was 5 on 1 I had to draw because she never got a turn for her bonus protection to expire.
This seems like a terrible mechanic if it’s WAI.
Anyone else seeing this. I’ve test this 3 times today and got the same result each time, and each time it was against a different team using Nest.

Think you mean stun and/or daze. Buff Immunity doesn't stop the protection gain.
Forcing us to use some strategy instead of mashing attack buttons does not a terrible mechanic make.
I swear I just read this same exact thread a week ago..
I swear I read this same exact thread every day...
something to consider
Oh nice call, i just played the odds and try to do as little damage as possible before i kill nest. But swapping visas in will make it way easier, even on the traya nests - though those are alot easier to kill nest before you kill everyone else.
I only ever attack her with 3 Toons. Hans special for the stun. Chewy for the stun. R2's basic if it looks like she might get a turn and gain health back. 3 hits with han and chewy spaced through the battle after her protection up goes away and she is dead.

@JediMindTricks That doesn't actually help at all.
It does for me. Save her for last. When I was running the Traya meta I’d save her for last and eventually annilate her and now for the Revan meta I save her for last and work her down with basics.
@JediMindTricks you aren’t using Rebels. The OP is. So, telling the OP to “just use your basics” is not helpful. Han and Luke just remove TM for 5 minutes, Nest doesn’t ever take a turn, and the match times out. No way to win like that.
Not to rain or your parade or anyting, but why on earth would you only use basics vs nest with a traya team? Even if this thread wasn't specifically about rebels vs Nest it still seems like terrible advice.
Problem is that rebels kill the rest of the team without nest being able to take a turn =D
Regardless of whether Nest is beatable or not, nest and zombi are by far the most annoying characters ingame. Obviously it's a player error if you get caught in a loop that causes you to time out, but it's annoying nonetheless.
I for one wouldn't mind if the game steered away from WAI mechanics that have a likelyhood of ending in a time-out loop.
I like strategy, but I hear you on the time-out loops. They can really suck.
Easier said then done. Even with only using basics against everyone but nest i often end up killing everyone with nest only taking one turn. Oh-well, i just have to not be lazy and change my lineup when i fight her.
