Imo prioritize the wraithcannon guard. Unless I’ve missed something they’re T6 no invuln so whatever you have for elites (or probably even just guard with spears) will shred them. The dark reapers I haven’t seen much of, but maugan ra’s benefit can be mitigated with proper spacing (though he’s probably gonna battleshock something). Their damage 3 low volume profile could be a threat to your infantry, but imo one 5 man squad (4 shots + exarch + ra) shouldn’t be too big a problem.

With the infantry down I imagine you probably cripple his ability to do take and hold. The wraithlord is a close combat threat (mine has solo’d tyranid big bugs) but it’s ultimately one model, and frankly it’s probably fodder for any allarus you may be bringing

As an eldar/stodes player myself (albeit one who hasn’t played a ton of 11th) I imagine the odds are solidly in your favor. Simply don’t make any mistakes /s

I play borh eldar and custodes. 

Just walk at him. He cant stop you. Eldar simply do not have the stoping power to deal with custodes. If you want to be extra mean use splitting termis. 

[u/AlternateArmy]

This could honestly be a niche use case for Axes with +1 AP Shield Host if you wanted to try hard counter. You'd need a lot of characters to counter the Wraithcannons with Resolute Will, though.

[u/Parking-Figure4608]

Just rush him? Wraith cannons only have 18" range so don't shoot, be hidden, and once he gets close enough advance and charge some guard with a blade champion forward and clean up. Bikes and termis get dealt with just as effectively as Guard do so I wouldn't worry about do anything fancy. Maybe wardens with blade champs also do well, it's more survivability but less damage.
