I laughed at that bit a lot! 10-year-old kids may like pewdipie or that crap but adults don't need other adults screaming into their mics and yelling "b****" at the female toons in the game (just weird). Your videos are appreciated as they are.
This was such a useful video walking through the whole strat. I’ve been playing it slightly different and only about 50% success rate. Hopefully this advice will help. I’m also probably stuck with Shaak for a bit since my Basti is only G11. Thanks for this detailed breakdown. Would love your take vs Rey as well.
Awesome video. Practiced the counter a lot, but haven’t had a good winrate. Yodas foresight at the beginning is key, especially for teams that don’t have incredible speed numbers on their chars. Thumbs up! 👍
Great video thank you! Now I might be able to place GMY with Padme , or maybe shaak ti can lead GMY with jolee and still be able to take out some relic teams.
@14:20. If sit is debuffed (which he is here before jkl moves again), it would be fine to take out hux. Sit wont aoe, and cleanse instead. This is how I've been playing it. Sit will never aoe when you take out hux and sit is debuffed. I think thats what's been happening in all my battles.
omg I'm such an idiot -- I was marking Hux first instead of doing the tm swap with Luke and then wondering why it wasn't working properly plus a bit (not too much) of a remod and that was the smoothest SLKR take down -- a bit late to this party I know, but still, an invaluable guide
To be honest, I have no idea what a good minimum is. I assume the farther you get from the "idealized mods", the harder it is to win. I'm sure there is a mathematical threshold you don't want to be under, but I don't know it. 220 sounds about right though.
Heh, I will probably eventually make a video on countering Rey as well, but for now, that comp is pretty easily countered by a JKR/JKL/GS/BS/Hoda comp. Mark Rey and kill her, and then the rest is relatively simple. She doesn't have the damage immunity mechanic. It's truly the easiest of the Rey comps to deal with, if you have JKL.
I am finding that I almost never kill Red Trooper with the JKR+JKL assist even though I have R7 JKL with 13.5k Offense and R6 Revan. And once that happens the whole counter falls apart on me.
I'm curious why you would mod JKR faster than Hoda. With SLKR triggering saviour on the first turn, JKR will get a bonus turn. I'm not saying to mod your JKR slow, but I don't see why you would have that 1speed difference between the two. What am I missing?
Couple things: 1) Red Trooper isn't always in there to finish off JKR. Gets weird if not, but speed becomes more relevant. 2) This speed layout also sets you up for the eventual Rey counter using the majority of this squad. His speed becomes super relevant then.
@@Xaereth Thanks for explaining. It does make sense if you're looking at it for a 2-4-1 counter to GL Rey and GL Kylo :). That being said, I don't think I've ever encountered an SLKR squad without Sith Trooper XD. Top notch video pal :)
@@ScrybeGaming thanks! The Red Trooper-free comps were much more common during the Padme + Fives cheese days. Agreed that they're far less common now :-)
@@Xaereth I was going to ask the exact same question. I have R7 GS, Ahsoka and GK. If you say these won't work, can we use a character from another faction? What about Wat? (Bad pun intended)
@@Xaereth thanks. im actually struggling with beating gl rey. i currently use r4 jkr (L), r7 jkl, r7 gas, r3 hyoda, r4 shaakti.. cant score a win to save my life. any tips you can impart?
Is that with all 6E mods? The thing is, yes, it's nice to one-shot, but it's not 100% necessary. My examples are pretty clean because of modding and experience. You still have some wiggle room though :-)
You mean the video where Ian literally says "we're not going to go into how the counter works"? Not exactly a straightforward strategy when he doesn't even discuss strategy...
@@SoloBass15 no. I’m talking about the one where he literally DOES go into the turn order, modding and the strategy. I’m talking about the one that doesn’t require luke to be fast, because it doesn’t require jkr to tm swap w him. I’m talking about the one where he literally says bastila can be slower. Much slower. In fact 60 speed slower than this person has her. I’m talking about the one where he literally says how to mark hux, then continuously buff luke whilst calling him to assist on top of him buffing himself, straightforwardly killing off everyone in about 30 sec, with no variable needed to be explained because it’s a much simpler and straightforward approach
@@Xaereth you’ll....need thicker skin if you want to have a successful channel. I didn’t bash your strategy. But I stopped the vid some minutes in because I prefer a less complex strategy. Some others might, as well
@@barad-dur9236 OHHHH, you meant that video. The one where in GAC he would have only gotten 50 banners in every fight he showed because 3 people died. Also the one that didn't show SLK with double tanks. Also the one that didn't show the most standard SLK comp you see in arena or GAC. Also the one that didn't go in depth into the mechanics of how the fights work. Also the one where, again, he said he wasn't going to discuss the strategy of the actual fight. (his words, not mine). My bad. I thought you meant the other one. I like Ian, and he has some good videos. But these are two completely different types of videos. You admitted that you didn't watch more than 5 mins of this video, so maybe don't troll it when you don't know what was said?
believe it or not...99% of us out here appreciate you NOT yelling and just getting on with your video, THANKS!
Thank you for not yelling at us in the intro like you see a lot of other youtubers doing. More people appreciate that than you think.
I’ve stopped watching those who use airhorns
I just skip those intros
yeah, be yourself!! Thanks for the info and testing. doing the same and this info really helps.
I laughed at that bit a lot! 10-year-old kids may like pewdipie or that crap but adults don't need other adults screaming into their mics and yelling "b****" at the female toons in the game (just weird). Your videos are appreciated as they are.
@Luke Wayne I care. Care to report you that is.
Thanks for this! Used this walkthrough today and it worked like a charm. Keep up the good work
This was such a useful video walking through the whole strat. I’ve been playing it slightly different and only about 50% success rate. Hopefully this advice will help. I’m also probably stuck with Shaak for a bit since my Basti is only G11. Thanks for this detailed breakdown. Would love your take vs Rey as well.
Excellent, as always. I am working on getting Bast to G13, so I may try that Shaak variant.
Thank you for being you... Love the strategies you get...
Awesome video. Practiced the counter a lot, but haven’t had a good winrate. Yodas foresight at the beginning is key, especially for teams that don’t have incredible speed numbers on their chars. Thumbs up! 👍
This video has helped me counter SLKR consistently in GAC and it used to be my weakness. Not anymore! Thanx
Great video thank you! Now I might be able to place GMY with Padme , or maybe shaak ti can lead GMY with jolee and still be able to take out some relic teams.
Thanks for this X, been super helpful !

Epic description. I have remodded and will climb in arena. I have G13 Shaak and G12 Bastilla so will see if Bastilla is good enough
omg I'm such an idiot -- I was marking Hux first instead of doing the tm swap with Luke and then wondering why it wasn't working properly

Astounding video, thanks!!
This is the best JKL guide I've ever seen.
Thanks for the shoutout man! I'm going to kind of do a play by play video of what I look for when I do the Shaak variant.
When you do, I'll link it on this video too, and people can take a look!
Would be nice. I would also like to see it.
@@mrwn7837 it is up on my channel now brother
I think I speak for all of us thank you for not yelling
"For your special... needs" is much more diplomatic than "for your... trash mods" :-)
"Old Ben is dead, that's fine... he's expendible... that's what he likes to do anyways" x-D
Awesome video! Keep producing great content! You should do another version of this with a Rey counter
Hah, I'm considering it!
Xaereth l,
🥵
I can't wait to get Jedi Knight Luke.
Afuknmazing guide, thank you
Very good guide, we'll done X
Thanks :-)
Great video!
Thanks!
Great video man. You said your JKL has speed more so for Rey. What's a good minimum for SLKR? 220?
To be honest, I have no idea what a good minimum is. I assume the farther you get from the "idealized mods", the harder it is to win. I'm sure there is a mathematical threshold you don't want to be under, but I don't know it. 220 sounds about right though.
I want to hear you SCREAM!!!
Hehe sorry man. iCant
Thanks for this! What about the Rey comp that’s GAS lead, Han & Chewie, Rey & Fives? I have a tough time with that one with Kylo much less Luke
Heh, I will probably eventually make a video on countering Rey as well, but for now, that comp is pretty easily countered by a JKR/JKL/GS/BS/Hoda comp. Mark Rey and kill her, and then the rest is relatively simple. She doesn't have the damage immunity mechanic. It's truly the easiest of the Rey comps to deal with, if you have JKL.
Xaereth so would you just mark Rey from the start or still TM swap to Luke?
@@rudi4437 yep, just mark Rey right away haha
These are great strategies!!!
I am finding that I almost never kill Red Trooper with the JKR+JKL assist even though I have R7 JKL with 13.5k Offense and R6 Revan. And once that happens the whole counter falls apart on me.

The Red Trooper-free comps were much more common during the Padme + Fives cheese days. Agreed that they're far less common now :-)
Great vid - as for the Rey counter, funny enough I had to nerf the speed of my GAS Speed to be slower than my Luke (230)
Yep, my GS is one speed slower than my Luke I believe haha
Does this still work? My modding is all screwed up this GAC and I’m having some trouble lol. I’m worried his JMK is in the back zone
Ay boss, I cant get this down vs malak. Any tips?
Is this still working? I'm about to get JKL and this would be awesome.
Yeah, just need a faster OB than usual because the current SLK meta requires speed
@@Xaereth Thanks buddy. Love your content. You do a great job. I'll get there some day.
I don't have Jedi Luke 😭
But I am glad you're not shouting, or dancing! 😁
Hahaha me too.
You're like the Khan Academy of SWGoH
How SKL haven't start first?
Whats about Daka + Z with slk - jkl still Works?
Heh, not really. I'm still testing that one. I get to face one in this round of GAC tonight as well (live on Twitch). Should be epic, lol.
Xaereth good luck - see your vid tomorrow 🤞
GAS cheese with no revives works better for me. Try to get both NS down with AOE at same time if possible.
Is Old Ben a must? Mine is only G9 - I'm contemplating gearing him for new GL anyway though. Could you sub in GK?
GK is good, but he wouldn't do much here, I'm afraid. OB is actually really important because of his ability block
@@Xaereth I was going to ask the exact same question. I have R7 GS, Ahsoka and GK. If you say these won't work, can we use a character from another faction? What about Wat? (Bad pun intended)
@@ELVIS1975T my response is still the same as previously. Old Ben is incredibly important here
@@Xaereth got it.
will this work with a g12 bastila and g12 ol ben?
Maybe. They would struggle to survive SLK AOE though.
@@Xaereth thanks. im actually struggling with beating gl rey. i currently use r4 jkr (L), r7 jkl, r7 gas, r3 hyoda, r4 shaakti.. cant score a win to save my life. any tips you can impart?
@@dooziexx123 heh, I'll try to make a video on it soon. There are a few tricks. Too much for text unfortunately
I can only get JKL to 9500 Dmg and he does not one shot...:(
Is that with all 6E mods? The thing is, yes, it's nice to one-shot, but it's not 100% necessary. My examples are pretty clean because of modding and experience. You still have some wiggle room though :-)
@@Xaereth Thanks for replying man. Do you need one or both Zetas on Old Ben? Do you need all three zetas on JKR to succeed?
Sorry - one more - do you need both Zetas on HODA? or just the one that gives foresight?
"My special needs"? Did you just imply that I'm mentally challenged???
I put that part in there just for you!
@@Xaereth I figured 😉
To everyone: it’s just Ian’s modding and strategy is much easier and more straightforward.
