I know there's many people that say "There are many teams that can beat Revan." Which I am sure is true to a point, but I have found that my fully 6 dot, G12 CLS team can only win MAYBE 45-50 percent of the time, but it is more like 25 percent. My CLS team is almost 119k squad power and I constantly have trouble with the annoyance of Revan squads. Does anyone have a suggested kill order? I can usually burn Hero with my first Han attack but then can't really figure out the rest. I've tried killing Jolee first, Revan and Yoda. My most success has been Yoda or Revan then try to quickly kill Jolee after before he revives the others. Thanks ahead of time for any advice.

- Yoda or revan to burn savior
- attack yoda and hopefully kill or get him low enough to burn jolee revive
- kill jolee
- then revan or Yoda
- then the other
- after that its cleanup.
Great plan! ......now how do we kill revan squads?
Seems like it would cut a lot of hassle out of the proposed kill order above.
1. Hit Jolee with Han's shoot first (you should get 15% TM from three resisted exposes, this should get your CLS to go before comparably fast Revans)
2. Use Call To Action while targeting GK (Chewie assists, inflicting tenacity down)
3. Use Use the Force on Revan, removing his TM
4. Use 3PO's OMG on GK, calling Han to assist (remove TM, inflict confusion)
5. Pulverize with Chewbacca
6. Fracture Yoda
7. Kill Yoda, kill Jolee, kill Revan, kill GMY again, kill GK, kill Bastila.
There are, of course, variations on this that work just as well, but this is what I use. CLS should be as fast as possible, followed by Thrawn (mine are 307 and 298). Turn order can get a little wonky if you're not careful - don't have Chewie be too fast, if he goes before 3PO, you're basically done.
I also find that you may have to improvise - if you can't kill Jolee quickly enough, it may be easier to let him revive someone once, then just try to kill the whole team before coming back to Jolee, and hope he doesn't manage another revive.
I don't actually see people use Thrawn with CLS in my shard, they all use R2 or Old Ben.
Interesting.
I like it because Savior doesn't cleanse Fracture, so GMY doesn't immediately go after you kill him and screw you over. Removing the biggest damage dealer from the team for a time is also very helpful. But you're right, it's not common.
First, make sure your CLS is fast enough to outspeed opposing Revan after Jolee resists the exposes from your First triple shot with Han/Chewie.
Leave CLS in defense mode and use middle special on Kenobi. Leave CLS out of stealth with R2.
If buff immunity landed on Kenobi, burn savior on Yoda, otherwise you will have to just go through Kenobi. Remember to use Han basic until Marked is applied so he doesn't go out of stealth.
Try to keep Kenobi stunned with R2 basic or Chewie special. I know they have a lot of cleanse, but anything to keep him from doing mass assist helps.
Kill Jolee next, keeping buff immunity or confuse on Kenobi. CLS can use second special to heal and call an extra assist from Chewie.
Then kill Kenobi or Revan as seems to make the most sense. Then the other of those two. If R2 gets a second smokescreen, he can leave himself out of stealth.
Then finish off Bastila and Yoda. Most the time, I don't bother with Yoda until last as he will just steal stealth from 3PO. But if his tm is down or he's confused and doesn't get stealth, you can kill him first.
Solution: I switched to Revan and now take #1 daily.
It's about 80% effective (not surprisingly, the exact chance that Vader can inflict AB).
As long as your Vader is around 240 speed, he should go first because of his unique.
Use his basic on Revan first to inflict AB. If it gets resisted, you're probably done, cause Nihilus will get marked and the whole strategy is shot to ****.
If AB lands, fracture GMY. Kill GMY. He will still be fractured after Savior.
Work on GMY again but be sure to always use Vader's basic on Revan to prevent marked, use Thrawn's basic to stun if you have AB on Revan.
By the time GMY is nearly dead a second time, you should have Revan in the yellow (or at least close) and Nihilus should have an Annihilate ready, user it on Jolee.
Kill GMY
Kill Revan
Then clean up GK and Bastila
The last guy you kill is Jolee, but he hasn't used an ability the entire time.
It's actually really simple, but you need a fast squad.

(I don't know mods on the Revan team, but it's a battle for top 5 on a Dec 2015 shard, most Revan are 315+ speed)
Oddly enough, the only times I lose against are ones with a Revan who is slow enough to let Rey come out of stealth before Nest gets marked.
Overall, you really want to burn that savior on the opening salvo. If you could manage that, and at least stun Jolee and remove TM from him, I would opt for killing Yoda and trying to keep Jolee from hitting the revive. I think Yoda can be the biggest pain on the Revan team just from his TM gain and the fact he will usually end up stealing stealth from C-3PO and thus not be available as a target. If Yoda is stealthed, I would try to take out Revan if you can ability block Jolee or remove TM from him. Jolee is a bit tough to wear down and his counters can cause problems. Of course, you always have to worry about GK taunting, so if you can take him out and force Jolee to burn the revive on him and then manage to focus on Yoda or Revan, all the better.
I run Revan myself, but I have been hovering the 60's for the past few weeks. Almost have him to G12, so I hope that improves things a bit. I fight mostly other Revan teams. If a team doesn't have Jolee, they are my target.
Revan is immune to ability block, so this wouldn't work very well against maxed out Revans.
Yeah that zeta is going to drop the effectiveness of this strategy down to zero.
That sounds good in theory, but in practice I feel like you'd spend so long setting it up due to the constant protection regen from assists and the heal every time Revan uses his AOE that you'd risk getting into time-out territory.
Force focus on Nest with R2 smokescreen.
Trigger savior with GK while he has healing immunity so he takes his bonus turn with 1 hp.
Kill Jolee (and sometimes GK again if Jolee gets his revive off). Then everyone else.
As long as nest survives to Jolee's death it's an easy win. I'd say at least 90% success rate.
That's funny because people adopted that strategy specifically to stop timing out. Burn both the revives in quick succession early on so revives don't cause you a timeout.
Not killing Jolee moments after savior is triggered is far more likely to cause a timeout than setting up for it will. Heals are immaterial, revives are what need to be avoided at all costs.
Shows what I know, I guess. Squad arena has always been my least favorite part of the game so I don't spend too much time agonizing over it. I'm fighting revan/revan mirror matches and I've always done fine with the "trigger savior on Yoda, then switch to Jolee" method. Then again I'm only in top 50 as my mods aren't that great, so maybe that stops working at the super high end.
