Akbar capital ship challenge - tier V

Well, this thread just saved me a ton of time. I was trying to figure out what I was doing wrong to keep failing this challenge. Turns out, the challenge is just ridiculous and poorly designed. I agree that it seems the developers don't bother to play their own game, but it's not really surprising.

Anyway, this saved me a ton of time since now I can simply stop trying it and move on. It's unfortunate that the game has such poorly designed content. But fortunately, it isn't required and I can just choose to stop trying it. Thanks!

You say that and yet you don't even try to contribute to the discussion, you sir are a troll.
To the Devs yes this challenge is currently kitten I've yet to see anyone that has cleared this without the AI bugging out and not calling in reinforcements so unless you are designing an encounter that would otherwise be seen as a design 'FLAW' make the challenge at least manageable under the base limitations that are on the challenge '5 star' ships or higher level 82.

RNG. I used those ships. Rotating the taunt with Plo Koon special

It's not just you... even at 6-7* it was a pain.

I think it took me 30+ attempts.

Basically I would just retreat if I lost any ship during their first salvo.

Eventually you will hit a match where the AI doesn't re-enforce and you can finish.

Target JC/Ashoka first... Rex is pointless as he will just heal himself and others each turn, Clone SGT has too much health as well. Try and attack different ships and see how the AI reacts.

As ElBarto said, use your republic ships to survive though the first salvo. That was pretty critical if I remember.

Thanks guys.
So basically, I have to try and try again and hope that RNGesus is with me :(

I run Ahsoka, Biggs, Wedge, JC, RP, and 5s. All lvl 80 and 6*. Still can't beat it. Do I really need Plo? I don't even have his toon.

Yeah, so it says level 82 is recommened. They don't have a clue about their own game. It's quite silly. You'd think they'd play it, if nothing else to see if they are accurate in their statements, but they don't have a clue. Maybe they're too busy playing FIFA to give a rat's @ss if they're lying or not. Level 82 is a joke they play on you. Ha ha, yep we're all laughing.

I haven't tried for awhile as I haven't come close to passing this but finally got it today.

Ran Biggs, Wedge, JC, Ashoka, Umbaran. All ships level 85 6-7 start except Umbaran (54) which I just used for target lock. Characters gear X

Was able to take out Ashoka/JC fairly quickly. It is complete luck. Not once did the AI reinforce or use Mace's protection taunt. I was able to get a target lock to get protection on Biggs. Biggs almost got blown away but right when he was real low I'd be able to use JC buff or Biggs assisted on Ackbar's single volley.

Just managed to beat it with the same ships/level sarc used + plo. I had been trying with plo in the starting 5 but swapped him to reserve for wedge for more initial burst. I kept retreating until I was able to burn down rex. From there it was Ashoka then JC. Luckily no reinforcements came and ended up not even needing plo. Good luck.
