Greetings, everyone !
I've activated SLKR recently and got him to G12. That allowed me to get fairly close to top 50 in Squad Arena and would allow me to get to top 20 with R7 and his Ultimate. The problem is, I'm in a March 2016 shard and I stopped playing between August 2016 and January 2020, so top 20 is dominated by 6+ million whales from top guilds with JMLs, Reys and occasional SLKRs. As far as I know, Rey squads can be beaten with the standard SLKR double-tank squad, so my only concern is JML, who can not be beaten by FO.
I've narrowed my possible choices to these three:
1) Get Rey and use her in a full Resistance squad without C3P0 or any high-tier Jedi like GAS, JKR, JKL and the likes.
2) Get SEE and additionally Sith Triumvirate and SET
3) Just get the Sith needed to counter JML and use them with SLKR (although that would be a bit harder as I don't have Malak or both Revans)
Help would be greatly appreciated.

What if they have newest toons such as Kuill reliced and 8 mil GP ? I should've clarified that 6 mil is the lowest GP of players occupying top 20 in my shard and 7+ is the average GP, with one having even 8 mil. I may be wrong, but that definetely sounds like a whale to me.
This is what I was hoping for. It seems that going after DR would be the least investment with the desired result.
It's good to know that JML can be beaten with SEE, so that's still an option. I'm not too concerned with his underwhelming performance for now as I have SLKR to beat all other teams and I generally like Palp as a character. Nevertheless, that'll require more gear and time, so I'll be going after DR.
Thank you very much for your detailed and quick response !
I'd highly recommend using Wat. The shield tech on SLKR makes him immune to debuffs (auto cleansing at start of turn) and completely ruins the jedis ability to keep him under control with ability blocks, breach, blind, etc.
DR (lead), BSF, Wat and either Zolo (against opposing Wat) or pretty much any fifth (Malak, KRU, GBA, etc.) if there is no Wat on the opposing team.
I don't have Wat as of now, 15 shards only and my guild gets 8 shards each Geo DSTB. Assuming I get Wat at 4 stars and give him the Mass Manufacture zeta, does he need to give the tank tech to SLKR and then to survive as long as possible or he can just die right after that ?
He just needs to hand out the tank tech. Just like Zolo only needs to stun Wat at the beginning and then can die. It's pretty much just DR, BSF and SLKR vs 5.
Then I'll start farming the toons required for DR immediately. Again, thank you very much for your help !
One last thing, though: is Han's zeta actually needed ? He can go first and stun without it and mine is G7 only, so I'm not expecting much damage from him.
Most likely not needed but it's a really good zeta and the TM reduction on his double taps can become handy aswell (obviously not so much on a g7 Solo but for later purpose).
Rey will give you a lot more use in 99% of the game
I will have to agree with that, but her top tier squads include legendary Jedi such as GAS and JKL, and I'm very far away from those, especially from JKL. Unless she can be competitive in Geo LSTB, GAC, TWs and Squad Arena with the Resistance toons required to unlock here, she will be a burden at my low GP.
I've mentioned that I'm in a March 2016 shard, everyone in top 50 has either a GL or JKL, and by competitive I've meant essentially meta, as SLKR-led full FO can beat any squad except for JML, and I would like for Rey to do something similiar just with her required Resistance toons.
Arena, not so much.
In that case she'll be a side farm at best, as there are other toons that can counter JML that are significantly easier to get. So I'll get GBA for Wat and BSF and the others for DR. Thank you very much for your explanations !
Don't have Malak, so I'll stick to DR and BSF to dispel buffs and get Shock on the enemies. SLKR's main weakness is ability blocks, and that's where Wat's tank tech comes in. That way I won't need Thrawn most likely and can use my KRU instead.
Managing Wat just makes the entire fight easy whether that is 3v3 or 5v5.
That's if there is Wat on the opposing team to begin with. In that case I'll use Han to stun him in the beginning. Wat's tank tech will regen SLKR's protection, so if JML nukes the entire team, SLKR will have enough health to regen it quickly through health steal. As for DR, I can just not put a zeta on his unique for this particular use.
