I've been told on several occasions that EP is an excellent counter to Padme if she doesn't have C3P0 present. It seems like it should work well enough - Vader AOE/sabertoss jumpstart, fracture GK, pick apart the rest of the team.
I've tried it a couple times now, though, and I always get destroyed. It seems like no matter what I do, they stack up a million Prot Ups (even before Padme does her debuff conversion special) and I can't chew through them before I lose the war of attrition. This is against a junky G9ish Padme, too, so it's not just me being outgeared.
WAT DO?

I pity anyone that doesn't have TFP geared...
Pretty sure mine is still at like 4 stars
OP is at least at 7 star. Level 50, G7 though. Ouch.
Or an early Rancor solo team when zVader was the way to go.
As Long as TFP is fast enough to put the buff immunity before they get any protection up it goes smoothly. I Fracture Padme first to not have the cleanse and prot up from her special and end her before the others.
This team has only failed me once over 6 attempts against Padme. And the failure was against 3 R4 Padme members. Was able to finish on next attack as they had only 2 members left and without Padme leading.
Oh, for sure. The reason I'd like to have EP as a backup option is because sometimes my GA opponents put Padme and Geos both on defense, and I'd prefer to keep BugSpraya to easily squash the Geo team.
I go zEP, Vader, Thrawn, Badstilla, ShT.
Zader gets the TM rolling. Fracture Padmé. Shock GK. Kill Padmé, then Anakin. Game over man, game over.
Badstilla is there for insurance, I know it’s overkill and TFP/Tarkin/others could work plenty well, but since I don’t have DR and save Traya/Sion for Geos, that’s where she usually ends up.
I like to save DN for Nest, but if I don’t run into her, then DN takes the place of ShT and it’s SUCH an easy win in that case.
Yes, but my general approach to GA is to kill every team with the weakest team I can, while still getting 58+ banners, so that I don't get caught off guard by unpleasant surprises lurking in the back row.
Using DR against Padme works, but it means I won't have him available to take out a surprise JKR or something. So if possible I'll always use Traya or EP to take her down instead.
I was more curious about how you allocate your Sith. Badstilla is one seriously bad Barbie, so if she wasn’t with DR I’d suggest her in that zEP squad
Slow down on the drinking, bud.
zIPD can remove all enemy debuffs and apply a de facto buff block. TFP gives you another Buff Block, or Deathtrooper can give another mass cleanse to get rid of Protection Up. Vader can ability block GK and/or Padme to prevent their mass cleanse, and Palpatine stun can do the same. Even when cleanses do go off, they feed the Palpatine TM engine.
It's a strange matchup, but Palp has the tools to pull the fight off.
Yeah, I don't have DR, or Traya yet. I'm half way to unlocking Traya tho! I can't wait cause she's actually my fav char is ALL Star Wars lol.
Do I need the zeta on Vader to get the TM train working better?
Vader's unique zeta only makes him immune to TM drain.
Makes sense, and totally in line with Empire vs. Rebels. Funny now that I think about it that Hoda nor Yoda is Rebel.
