To survive the toons must be buffed, but how do I ensure this?I use a team with Wedge (l), Biggs, Leia, Fives & Lando/Rey in the AAT raid phase 4. Until a few weeks ago that worked like a charm. I tumbled the tank and Leia's buffs saved all from the airstrike. Repeat until enrage.Now I often loose Leia (not any of the others at first) to the airstrike - her buff is gone. After that I cannot tumble the tank unless I want to face team-wipe-out after the next airstrike.I have the same problem with a jedi team where Yoda's tenacity up disappears too early.I'm not saying it is a bug, I might be counting turns wrong or something, but then I'm looking for a solution.How do you survive the airstrike?

You need to time your toon's special buff at close to when the tank will untopple. I'm able to use Raid Han's buff in time enough to allow my toons to usually all take 1 more turn each. That buff won't last for more than 2 turns.Btw, do you have AA? Consider putting him in instead of 5s. He helps Lando big time for multiple DoubleDowns. AA's buff can also do what you need. He can also heal your team from the evil main tank dots.

To be safe, I use RG. Other characters that work are Leia, AA, Lumi, IGD, Poggle, FOST, and Rex to cancel out the airstrike. I had to time my AA and let the tank attack once every topple. If you can time it well, Droids are the best with JE and Nebit. Again, you'll have to time it right or else you won't have buffs on you when the airstrike hits.

I just don't topple when I get to the point where I don't have a reliable buffer. Just take out the B2s and focus on the top gun and main gun at that point.

With that said, there's good strategy one must use to hit 1.1-1.3+ mil in P4.With that said, Phasma can be used in place of AA to obtain similar numbers.

Leia's is all about RNG. If she has omega on her basic for the TM gain she becomes so fast that missing to give the buff once can kill you. Mine will take 2 almost 3 turns before the others.I had to count and pay attention. If tank TM is close to full and leia missed giving the buffs the last turn I will use her stealth ability and this is normally enough because most the others will also self buff

AAT (normal) phase 4 airstrike survival?

I use Wiggsdo/Leia/Han Solo in T6, but is AA superior to Han for heroic? I'm thinking the dispel+heal might matter a lot more when survivability is not such a joke like in nerfed T6.

I run Wiggsdo, Raid Han, and AA.

For heroic p4 if you do topples correctly, you don't need a dispeller, cos you should never get hit by the main tank doing the aoes

That's not always possible. If you get screwed over by the boss cooldown when starting the phase is one example, which happens quite frequently, especially when zerging. Further, there's a sound strategy that works very well where you do want to get hit by the main tank's special at least once, but after first topple (topple, get hit and cleanse, topple, topple...).

the cooldown bug happens if you are in a phase eg phase 3 still when raid has progressed to phase 4.
I don't understand why you would wanna get hit by the aoe at all tho, having to use a spot for a dispeller rather than dps is also not as efficient (unless its chirrut)
