How can I counter the Chirrut and Baze ("Chaze") combo?
When Chirrut and Baze are on the same team, it seems like I can never kill either of them. Chirrut heals too much and does too much damage, and Baze is so tanky it feels like he can't die. I've tried using characters that apply Buff Block to either of the two characters, but apparently Chirrut has a cleanse too! What is the counterplay to this combination of characters?

Grand Admiral Thrawn is also an effective counter to Chaze when you are the one attacking. His Fracture Ability removes any existing debuffs, prevents them for gaining new ones, and effectively blocks the following abilities for Baze:
- For Jedha
- Indomitable Will
- Resolute Endurance
This means that you can either attack Chirrut without fear of triggering Baze's taunt, or focus down Baze without worrying about him healing under Chirrut.
The Resistance faction is also strong against any team when being used offensively, provided you have Finn's Leader ability "Zeta'd" (Upgraded to level 8, which requires 20 Zeta Materials).
Without going to much into how Resistance works (as it is complicated), Finn's Special Ability can Stun enemies, as can R2's Basic Ability. Simply place a stun on Baze/Chirrut to prevent counter-attacks, then use Resistance Trooper's special to remove the Taunt on Baze. Coupled with the Turn Meter Reduction from Poe's Special and Turn Meter gain from Finn's Leader ability when hitting Exposed targets, Baze and Chirrut should never even take a turn.
Either place Buff Immunity on Baze with Poe's Special ability or kill Baze first to prevent his Taunt coming back from taking Chirrut below 100% Health.
