A few things: 1.) For Leia with Jyn and Raddus, the Smoke should be used to leave Jyn out in the open. This helps supercharge your Leia Ult, and Jyn can't die so long as Raddus is alive. 2.) If your CAT is slower you can still do the mirror, just bring a toon with a higher targeting priority by the AI using CAT's leap. You can use GMY, Malak or Thrawn for example (the team would then be JMK, CAT, Padme, Snips +1). You would use the same cron with the GR paragraph level 6 and Padme level 9. 3.) When using SLKR FOSFTFP vs JMK, you want FOST over FOO, and also, for the open after poking CAT and having Hux pass the turn back to SLKR, poke Snips. You get rid of their ability to dispel your Damage Immunity and slow down their Ult generation. For the rest of the fight after the opener, just keep CAT stunned, ramp up and you'll eventually kill them all. 4.) Yeah don't bother trying JML vs Padme cron 😂 if you are really desperate, you can try Bane Malak vs JMK CAT Padme (Malak will eat the CAT leap because he is a high priority target)... It's true that this is a powerful cron but there are ways to deal with it... Hope this helps...
Sorry to be blunt here, but it’s shocking to me that you haven’t faced this DC in arena or TW, even if no one has set it on you in GAC. Regardless of all of that, you basically have three options with this cron. 1. Faster CAT mirror: leap their CAT, target their JMK and full auto. 2. Slower CAT mirror: bring GMY instead of GK and their CAT kills him, leap on their CAT, target JMK and full auto. 3. SLKR (ONLY WITH SFTFP Lv9 and the long, good FO Lv6 on your DC): bring SLKR, SFTFP, Hux, KRU, and maybe anyone but Lobster. Poke stun CAT (and keep her stunned as long as possible), pass turn from Hux to SLKR, poke Snips. Use KRU to stun another. JMK will go for early Ult to cleanse stuns but pokes won’t go away. Start ramping and poke CAT again when he gets it. Ult if necessary to protect him. Good lv6 FO will stun them when attacking sometimes. If CAT leaps on KRU or someone other than SLKR or SFTFP, you’ll lose them but you can still often win. Eventually SLKR gains so much thru ramping that AoEs will kill multiple targets. These are pretty much the only three that work, although some have some success with Inqs.
I’m right there with you man. Padme cron whooped my butt this gac. Its frustrating when you’re confident in your counters and run into a curve ball like this
In the match with SLKR I usually just stun Cat, Stun, Asohka as she's theh one killing your team and then Padme. Then I just up SLKR 3rd ability until I one shot all the team. They can't kill me because the AI will chain target SF Tie Pilot, chain stun him and ignore SLKR once he's in ult mode. And you will chain ult modes because you stunned everyone before giving you time to build it.
But honestly you cannot expect anything better from a pay to win game because of the core mentality that is behind it. Most people would have raged up to the point of spending treasuring the illusion that it will make them catch up which we know of experience that it doesn't work that way. Or you are a zenfull meditative person that has total control or detachment over your emotions or beware of the rage or have a very good bank account and chase the rabbit until you give it your very soul. Choose your poison.
In GAC I found this insane amaligmation to work pretty decently. Rey, Ben solo, Holdo, Hero finn, Jedi cal The Ai seems to love Hero finn and holdo DC will prevent him from dying and you can relativly easily apply healing immunity with ben solo instakill CAT and then set to auto and let Sudden whilwinds and Ult's finish off the rest Yeah it's stupid expensive but it's my only option without doing a mirror match which I would rarther avoid
Datacrons are the solution CG landed on to randomize the meta. This is to prevent the meta from being solved each GAC season. That is why they are two months long. 1 5v5 and 1 3v3 season. Makes it so each season there is a bunch of unknowns. But I agree, makes the game very not fun and GAC just becomes homework where you have to cram for an exam every match
I got this cron today. The first time I used it I failed against SEE. I cant get through his triple Tanks (SET, Malak, Malgus) and 50-RT before SEE insta-kills Padme.
Supposedly (I haven't confirmed) if you use GMY in your JMK team, the enemy will always target GMY, so you can have a slower CAT Test that out to verify
I haven't faced this DC in GAC, but I have beaten that team easily, and I mean as in haven't lost a single time to it, with SLKR and the special force tie pilot DC in squad arena. In fact that DC has catapulted me from the top 600 or so to top 20 of shard lol. You just have the wrong SLKR DC.
I beat JMK CAT Tano GK Padme with SEE Thrawn, Armorer Wat GBA as long as CAT and Tano aren’t R9 and Armorer goes before everyone except JMK and CAT. I use a 55% health DC that gives 15% O and 20 speed per Dark Side toon death. Put health tech on SEE, and the AI is so hardwired for Thrawn that when JMK puts the cooldown on CAT he is still targeting Thrawn, and the JMK special calls Tano which also calls CAT, all against Thrawn, who goes to yellow and gives Armorer 3 stacks and the CAT nukes Thrawn (if Thrawn is killed in the initial volley you lose because CAT will then nuke Armorer hence R9 CAT and Tano loss) and Armorer goes and puts 3 stacks on SEE and he is almost unkillable. Link GK and CAT, then Ult and kill them, then link Tano and Padme, target JMK, then before second Ult, link Padme and JMK, then Ult, then link Tano and JMK, target JMK. I think it’ll work too with the 15% HP dark side too.
@The Gebril I will say for mine 2 fights: 1. SLKR: If you have that Pilot DC with long text lvl6, ALLWAYS keep CAT under stun,and thats it.If you do not have that DC,then idk, 2. JMK MIRROR: With the same Padme lvl9 and that long lvl6, use GMY or GAS(but ofc GMY is a cheaper as 5th), The reason is,that AI if some of those 2 are not on field,oponent CAT anihilate yours CAT,then its GAME OVER.
Jmk, CAT, Padme, GK, AT. Instakill Padme (you can ignore taunt with the DC). Then kill CAT,AT,GK, then JMK. It’s a long battle but very winnable. Even if their CAT is faster she will go for your GK. Then you’re open to take out Padme.
On the SLKR you couldn’t have done anything that would have saved the fight. SLKR needs different modding for this and maybe he even needs to be r9. But I think I heard that sometimes with really bad rng even that is not helping.
How have you gone a whole month without encountering the BA-ROKEN Padme Cron JMK team? So gross. .gg data still doesn’t have new cron sets so can’t rely there until next week
I handle this team with this cron daily in Squad Arena with SLKR. It's a long match and if you take the suggestions found here in the other comments to stun both ATano's then you are at risk of timing out, against this enemy cron. After stunning CAT it is almost always invariably better to stun Padme as the next option and drain her mastery too. She is the lynchpin holding this team together against FO. If she falls, everyone goes seconds later. Weaken her health pool and don't be afraid to call assists or use Sith Trooper in the lineup. The hits will help you reach ultimate. You need to have the SFFOTP cron with the ignore taunt clause and the wordy tier 6 bonus. Rants don't suit you, I'm sorry you lost the joy during your potentially happy family time.
JML verse JMk doing cal same move ment you never reached 30 stacks for long time with switch between them and with JKR u should have been able to get his up and nuke cat to many 5 increments or using lead would say with kal work on his instat then use work on JML lead skill
In all fairness the skill in this game comes from can you read. Knowing kits and their strengths and weaknesses is a huge part of this game. DC's just change that. This is a really strong dc. But every single opponent of mine has one shot it this GAC😊
Yeah, the SLKR-counter is a complete RNG-fest. If they don't go after SLKR, then it goes well, and Kylo can beat them! But its a coin-toss, and it has cost me at least one Grand Arena round already.
Yep, mine is on defense and my CAT is faster than most people’s (376). With SLKR, I definitely use HUX cooldown reset to do a second stun. Stun CAT first. If the enemy Padme goes before your Hux and uses her swarm attack, stun GK instead. It’s the swarm attacks that are most dangerous to SLKR. He can tank most other attacks. But, every once in a while they will still just full send on SLKR and you just lose. I hate the Padmecron but I’ve seen it in arena since a few days after it was released so I spent MANY battles figuring out how to beat and how almost nothing else beats it aside from SLKR and mirror ignore taunt level 6.
this is not the first cron that made a team crazy good and guess what it wont be the last, it sounds like ur mad at yourself for not investing in this from day one or understanding it.
A few things:
1.) For Leia with Jyn and Raddus, the Smoke should be used to leave Jyn out in the open. This helps supercharge your Leia Ult, and Jyn can't die so long as Raddus is alive.

Grand master Yoda has a high target priority he would work as a proxy taunt verse JMK
Great insight. Also great comments on the tactics.
If your cat is slower, use jmk middle ability first. Cat will leap your jmk everytime
I hear you man. I feel the same. So much to read and sort out before each fight. It really is too much imo
I’m right there with you man. Padme cron whooped my butt this gac. Its frustrating when you’re confident in your counters and run into a curve ball like this
and you leave Erso visible

Doesn’t JMk prevent crits on Prot Up allies?
a standard padme lead squad with the cron is suprisingly good on defence. been baiting gl's out with it on the front (mind you its chromium 2)
I did the same thing and lost quite a few GAC matches due to this exact Datacron. I'm prepared next time and got my own Datacron.
In GAC I found this insane amaligmation to work pretty decently.
Rey, Ben solo, Holdo, Hero finn, Jedi cal
The Ai seems to love Hero finn and holdo DC will prevent him from dying and you can relativly easily apply healing immunity with ben solo instakill CAT and then set to auto and let Sudden whilwinds and Ult's finish off the rest

If you have protection up, you can ignore taunt. That way, you just go all in vs See.
Supposedly (I haven't confirmed) if you use GMY in your JMK team, the enemy will always target GMY, so you can have a slower CAT
Test that out to verify
Welcome to the club! 200 skill points higher everybody has that team & dc on defense. Same in TW
If you don't have a faster cat, you could put in grandmaster Yoda because the enemy cat is hard coded to target him and will leap him.
Super good tip. I’ve noticed she tends to prefer him, but didn’t know it was legit. Thank you.
@@thegerbil23 Or a Thrawn
Don't feell bad, That shit got me too.
With SLKR you want to stun both CAT and small Ahsoka.
feel your pain... rough
I stumbled on this solution accidentally. I got so frustrated I set a mirror match to auto and it targeted JMK. To me shock, I won.
I haven't faced this DC in GAC, but I have beaten that team easily, and I mean as in haven't lost a single time to it, with SLKR and the special force tie pilot DC in squad arena. In fact that DC has catapulted me from the top 600 or so to top 20 of shard lol. You just have the wrong SLKR DC.

I had no issues against that cron using JML with jkck lvl 9. Albeit, this is in my pathetic Aurodium 1 league
You need the faster cat, and just the lvl 6 no taunt datacron. In arena, I kill Cat, ahsoka, padme then jmk and last gk
@The Gebril I will say for mine 2 fights:

Welcome to the club, datacons suck, they ruin the mechanics and the fun of the game teach,worst thing cg ever did
How have you gone a whole month without encountering the BA-ROKEN Padme Cron JMK team? So gross.
.gg data still doesn’t have new cron sets so can’t rely there until next week
Ha! Guess I have just been lucky so far, or if I played against it, just played better and didn’t notice. :)
oh man ----- just wow.
Is that stupid me wow or that sucks wow or damn that Cron is crazy wow? I fully admit to failing to read it right or understand it before losing. :(

Rants don't suit you, I'm sorry you lost the joy during your potentially happy family time.
I use JMK, CAT, Padme, Mace, GS/GMY
Opponent CAT will always hit GS/GMY
So, CAT can kill opponent CAT.
After that, auto on opponent Padme.
JML verse JMk doing cal same move ment you never reached 30 stacks for long time with switch between them and with JKR u should have been able to get his up and nuke cat to many 5 increments or using lead would say with kal work on his instat then use work on JML lead skill
I agree, this DC is absolutely ridiculous. If u notice, no one really does anything in arena anymore bc of this dc
To complement your number vocab. Im portuguese its "um" . How glad I am to not have faced that DC
In all fairness the skill in this game comes from can you read. Knowing kits and their strengths and weaknesses is a huge part of this game. DC's just change that. This is a really strong dc. But every single opponent of mine has one shot it this GAC😊
GL speculation time?
Ya i just lost to this cron. My jabba and slkr couldnt clear. Lol. Lost my first match this gac because of the datacron.
Sorry to hear, but glad I’m not alone. :) lol
Yeah, the SLKR-counter is a complete RNG-fest. If they don't go after SLKR, then it goes well, and Kylo can beat them! But its a coin-toss, and it has cost me at least one Grand Arena round already.
With GL Leia, be sure to use R2 to put everyone but Jyn under stealth, since Jyn can't die while Raddus is alive. It's worked for me twice so far.
Super good tip!! I pass that on when I can. Thank you!!
i have fastest cat but still cant win, even i kill opponents cat first, all characters is too tanky i got times up
I got lucky and their cat tried to kill JMK so I was able to kill their cat
Yep, mine is on defense and my CAT is faster than most people’s (376).
With SLKR, I definitely use HUX cooldown reset to do a second stun. Stun CAT first. If the enemy Padme goes before your Hux and uses her swarm attack, stun GK instead.
It’s the swarm attacks that are most dangerous to SLKR. He can tank most other attacks.
But, every once in a while they will still just full send on SLKR and you just lose.
I hate the Padmecron but I’ve seen it in arena since a few days after it was released so I spent MANY battles figuring out how to beat and how almost nothing else beats it aside from SLKR and mirror ignore taunt level 6.
this is not the first cron that made a team crazy good and guess what it wont be the last, it sounds like ur mad at yourself for not investing in this from day one or understanding it.
can you add your email to the about
