Got 6 pages in and couldn't find any topics on this. Facing a dang 7 star gear 8 level 70 Rey in GW. How the heck am I supposed to counter this crap? She can one shot any of my Level 67-68, 7 star, gear 8 toons, even the tanks. In arena, that's not a game killer. I can scrape out a victory most of the time, but in GW, losing a powerful toon in the first hit guarantees you will lose another pretty quickly, and there is no way to get out without losing a third. 3 of your top squad dead means GW is over for the day. Even if you manage the victory. And I'm not using low Health high damage toons.
The new GW matching isn't working out well for me. Constantly being matched up with significantly higher powered teams.
Is there anything you can do other than wait until tomorrow and hope you don't get paired up with Rey again?

There are multiple ways you can handle this. First off, do you use suicide squads? You can send in suicide squads to soak up the specials of a really tough match up. In this case, you should be able to have her waste one of her two specials on a level 1 character. However, if they have Sid, he may AOE attack all of them.
If you have a leader with evasion, you can try and put them in the leader slot and you maybe luck out on RNG and have her miss when attacking you while you can focus her down.
Another option is keep switching up your main group and it's order to try and get a good sequence of events. Don't be scared to retreat to start the battle over.
You wouldn't happen to have Royal Guard would you? He can help.
However, since you are not at level 70, it might not be possible at this point if you don't have enough backups.
Good luck and don't let this demotivate you!
Otherwise send in the suicide squad or rotate your lineup leaders to get a dodge on her attack. Lumi and Dooku both offer evasion bonuses.
Rey's weakness is debuff, which takes away roughly 20% of her offense.. glhf

Geo soldier and QGJ are also faster than her, and can one-shot her with a good assist.
If you don't have them, then suicide squad is probably your best bet.
The Ai doesnt do that anymore. Against weak characters, they just use their regular attack.
Not true. Just watched a level 70, 7*, g8 Sid use his AOE against my suicide squad of level 40 toons in green and gray gear.
