Time is a river, Life is a journey, The door is a Jar Jar.

[@jcmn02]

"Trench is just a spider on a water spout. You can just wash him out." Lol😂

[@janusgeminus21]

Bane is all like, "Hey, TLC, all those scrubs you passed on, if they happen to be Sith, send them my way ..." "Yes, I want you relic number, Yes, I'll add it to mine. Yes, I want to meet you on the holotables, Yes, I want your time. Yes, I want your scrub, A scrub is a guy who can give me some mastery.

[@icytucannoli886]

Brilliant!!!

[@woolybear]

Your insights are very appreciated, thanks! Very underrated chanel imo, based on subs not on quality of content mind you.

[@Tusk69420]

Super helpful. Being end game, I’ll use this to prioritize modding.

[@StevePimental]

Love the content, X. I think my main takeaway is how similar a lot of these teams in the middle are. I get why the bounty hunters are where they are but I think you could have them 10+ spots lower and be perfectly justified. I think the teams in the 4-12 range are all basically interchangeable as well.

[@taylorwilson9055]

Phoenix beats Reva on auto, that alone should move them up a bit. Essential piece for GAC and TW. Really good in Conquest as well.

[@Xaereth]

Yeah, I did feel a little bad about how low Phoenix are on this list. TBH, there is a lot to like about several of these teams, even at the lower levels.

[@theuraniumkid8141]

Aphra is a weird one I use Sisters to kill Jabba ... but for a long time I had nightmares about cleaning up LV and honestly even if that's all she ever does, is be there so I don't have to worry about an LV clean up, I will be content. Which is a bit niche, but still, we all have your traumas in this game I am not convinced that Bo is going to be great against LV now her datacron is gone, we shall see. I should try and test it in Arena.

[@theuraniumkid8141]

lol, you go on to make my exact point! I should have just waited for you

[@nickcashiola6610]

just finished Jedi Survivor, i think CG should add one or two of those bounty hunter robots

[@Stratega1982]

Amazing chart. Thanks

[@adamhunter847]

Awesome video man! Is there an infographic or anything available for the teams? I want to follow this guide as its the best one ive seen! Bonus points for not having the same characters in multiple teams! Thank you.

[@manel8]

Yes, except for Maul, looks like

[@nsanerydah]

Any chance you could set something like this up for top 15-20 (non GL) using a unique filter? Another great video. Keep up the great work!!

[@thebutcherofswgoh]

3 weeks later do you still as strongly about Gungans at 4? I’m torn between unlocked Bo and working on gungans.

[@Michaelthomas-w8k]

Where would you rank a Padme/Negotiator squad here?? I am presently using Padme with her Datacron for Squad Arena. Whom would you suggest in the lineup considering relic-ing Negotiator pilots??

[@hazshadow2935]

Please can you do some more territory battle videos ? Specifically best teams to gear up to carry you through each sectpr

[@klogott3462]

Trench? Who is that? Ah, you mean Spider-Man

[@firemonkey922]

Thrawn is the answer for the Maul/ISC 5th!

[@PedroMontenegroOficial]

Who would be the rest of SEE squad?

[@AliBoba]

You said a jar joke, said it twice to make it a Jar Jar joke!

[@theuraniumkid8141]

the problem with Gungi is that decent Jedi -- and a Galactic Republic Jedi at that! are in such high demand, that he still wouldn't go with the Wookies !

[@theuraniumkid8141]

GAS: destroys your Trench squad in GAC Maybe kills the Gungans too

[@theuraniumkid8141]

I suspect / hope that DTMG will still beat STAP even without the datacron Not sure how often we're going to see STAP on d though, not when it can kill so much with the datacron & omicron (not that I've applied the omicron just yet)

[@navjujocum9118]

I think it is a little early in this relationship to be casually dropping the "L" word

[@jalengatton]

Xaereth, I love you, but Phoenix with Crex being put below Saw Gerrera hurts my soul beyond your comprehension.

[@Darth_Serpentor]

For the 17, instead of Kiadi mundi dundi, who can we use instead ?

[@travis51killer01]

Maybe windu

[@Rando3498]

I mean I use maul on defense with g12 canderous, isc, and gar with a relic 7 jango and I still get holds in K2.

[@apparentlyjeremy]

I use them on offense and reliably take out JMK teams with them, and often manage to at least kill leia

[@MusikRatgeber]

... for the Algo ❤

[@ObiRon68]

What is the SEE team your head is blocking

[@jalengatton]

If I had to guess, SEE, Wat, Armorer, Thrawn, and either GBA or SET. That's the traditional SEE lineup.

[@khaydarian9704]

Maybe I'm facing weak JML teams or something, but I regularly use Phoenix to counter JML in GAC with little problem.

[@klogott3462]

21:44 there is one. Jabba

[@subzeros6022]

Does maul not kill kenobi?

[@apparentlyjeremy]

He does plus he has a chance to take out leia

[@shwah.holmslice]

I use my Dash squad to consistently beat rogue one squads. Ig11 necessary for that counter.

[@her0inSheik]

what full lineup do you use?

[@Kimmiebabi1468]

Mounting the algorithm again lol, Trench also likely to get a capital ship

[@Xaereth]

Heck yeah, I'm super interested to see what they decide to do/release this summer!

[@foolya357]

​@@XaerethDude, thanks agn 4 ur work ❤ Great Video! I just got a question about the Jedi Tank in the SK Team. I use Mace over Ploon or Gen Kenobi. But i wonder why you choose Plo Koon for it?! Is there any important mechanic that i missed from Plo? I mean Plo even do not taunt. Exactly that's why i can not decide between Mace and Gen Kenobi. I just use Mace bc he is R5 on my account and Gen Kenobi just R3 😅 but on the other side i prefer Mace bc he can reduce max HP, can stun and call SK to assist. To get SK faster to his 100 charges. Sorry drifted away 😂 Main question just:"Why Po Kloon instead of Mace?!"

[@luckypunch89]

very interesting, I will make sure to rewatch it to find out why Trench is that high :D thanks for putting out the effort, I always come back here because I feel like getting the most valuable insights. Love ya Xaereth!

[@allg3559]

I think he takes in the current datacrons for his ranking

[@chucksax]

Ewok should be higher, but otherwise a phenomenal list

[@theuraniumkid8141]

Think your top 5 are spot on though, no notes

[@hippieartist1]

🎉 was awesome watching you play Sarah’s account

[@Xaereth]

Hahaha oh man that was fun

[@RafaelRodriguez-lh9xl]

Algo!

[@GiffyPooh]

I know your uses X and they are plentiful

[@Luusika]

Music to mt ears, hearing at least one "based on", the normal human version, instead of the youtuber trend "based off of." Anyway, great list!

[@Cameron87ish]

Wampa always beats that ass. No knock on iden. She is great. Wampa is still kinda cool. I beat kyber 1 and 2 level teams with wampa still. It can be scary but I win. I’m kyber two. With only half the gls. 3 years ago you stopped me from farming gls. I work on my roster. GLs will come.

[@MINI_Grogu]

Phoenix beats Reva without DCs

[@davepetersen2643]

I hate the Reva mission

[@kb08]

Who is in SEE's squad?

[@GHOULY782]

Prob still armourer and Watt if you dont have trench

[@davidecortese5744]

Is Padme so bad now she's not even in the top 40 teams?

[@JelliedGnome]

Algo

[@jcmn02]

In summary CG, fix your game..lol

[@michaelmcpherson915]

Disagree with Trench being higher than Malicos. Malicos kills GLs in the superior PVP game mode. Trench is a filler defense team in the inferior PVP game mode.

[@martinflowers4491]

Mounting

[@alisarkarrde1956]

MtA

[@theuraniumkid8141]

Trench being good in TW because of omicrons and a datacron is not a reason to put him top 10 ! Absolute troll ... spider-troll ! The leggiest of all trolls harumph (I mean sure, he got a hold in GAC, cough, again, cough, so I won ... but he's still bad, gosh darn it!)

[@hugolazcano3149]

.

[@klogott3462]

Bad Batch being that low is a crime. I would Swap them with Veers Troopers. Also CG give us Crosshair

[@allg3559]

I think bad batch is only better in k1, because I in k2 still take out a lot of teams with them, because my Piett is the first to go.

[@klogott3462]

@@allg3559 im in K2 as well and use Bad Batch always and they never Disappoint me. My Favorite Rey Counter.

[@allg3559]

@@klogott3462 I can see that you’re an bad batch enjoyer and you do incredible stuff with them. But it is quite risky to use them against Rey, especially currently. I do think bad batch is a bit better than veers troopers but not that much pre-k1. And tbh xareaths ranking su*cks.

[@user-yi2ps1lv2h]

You know I’m gonna be honest a lot of this doesn’t make sense. For example the highest caliber team Starkiller can beat is Rey whereas Bokatan Mandalor can beat LV and JMK plus more gls. Also saying the Admiral Radus and Trench teams are as good as you placed them is quite a stretch. Also General Anikan is easily beat by a lot of the teams you placed below him. And most those teams like Starkiller are just generally stronger too

[@Xaereth]

Hah, I gave reasons. It's all arbitrary like I said. One thing to keep in mind: it's not only about GAC here.

[@theuraniumkid8141]

The problem with Phoenix too (like Bad Batch) is not that they're bad, CRex made them so much better, but you do the maths: are they are top 22 side for 5v5 GAC? is there something that they counter that other teams don't? sadly, not really -- and the datacrons for the Inquisition keep making the Phoenix not quite relevant. And I suspect the same will be true for LV.

[@Deniedher0]

Jango should not go with trench trench is a horrible team come on

[@sspir1t309]

Nice bait

[@KYsYooToob]

I'd be happy to go the rest of my life never hearing the phrase curb stomp again. :(

[@maistorajedai]

thanks swgoh daddy. one for the algo too
