Grand Arena 3 vs 3 - The Malak issue and possible new solutions
So when 3 vs 3 was last in Grand Arena, if someone had Malak and you did not, you lost. It seems very doubtful CG has done anything to address this. Sure, Malak has come back so more people "should" have him, but the mast majority of people, will NOT. Potentially with Relics this might be an even worse issue than before.

Possible new solutions not CG related:
Geos - Doubt it
Clones - Doubt it
Nuke - Don't see how it can work there will not be enough debuffs, plus you need at least 4 toons on this team for it to work
GAS - ? Again mass majority don't have him, we're looking for a solution hopefully most would have, and not even sure it would work anyway
Padme - Pad, GK, Ani? Seems this might be the only hope, but a small one at that
Anything else?

What other 2 characters are you doing that with? Remember when he hits 50% health he gets that bonus turn and won’t stay there for long.
If it's a solo Malak, you could use a team like KRU, Kylo and Savage. Should be pretty easy to stun lock him with the tenacity down on the basic with the two-turn unresistable KRU stun and the Kylo stun. Plus, even if he gets a bonus turn, he'll steal like 1 HP from KRU.
With gear 13 and relics this could potentially make things even worse than before, but hard to know till we see it...
You forget that most people can't outrun the enemy DR w/ their Thrawn and Thrawn will never have the chance to fracture because he'll be feared and then CBM will be on him and he won't be able to fracture.
Against a slower DR, Thrawn will be very helpful though.
Use a fast JKR lead and Thrawn only needs to outspeed BSF. Mark DR to increase his cooldowns, then fracture him. Doesn't matter if he goes between JKR and Thrawn since he can only use his basic. The difficult part is to keep Thrawn alive long enough to fracture Malak after DR and BSF are down.
Are we talking Malak used with darth revan and bastilla ? That’s really the question
Fracture , isolate , annihilate, stun, healthblock, savage & Kylo unmasked are all options in certain cases with darth Malak under 3V3
Did we have a 3V3 grand arena with Malak already ? I don’t recall that. If we did the game & world didn’t end so I guess it will be ok
He said 50 health not 50% health.
Easy to avoid, you can out run DR with your own DR, if their Badstilla is faster than your thrawn then you can just dump the CBM off by instead making his first move the TM swap and he loses the CBM, then use fracture, it works quite well really.
