Hi,I can't pass the last Akbar capital ship challenge to get him to 6*.What team did you use to succeed tier V ?My ships are all 5* and level 78 (no more money to level them up further) : Plo Koon, Fives, Ahsoka, Jedi Consular, Biggs and Wedge on backup.Thanks

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!

I found It to be the easiest one of the bunch.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 definitely think 5* is too weak, but of course it matters more what your gear looks like.

I just beat this yesterday I used

5* level 77 Home One w/ G11 Ackbar
6* level 85 Biggs Ship w/ G11 Biggs
6* level 80 Ahsoka's Ship w/ G10 Ahsoka
5* level 75 FivesShip w/ G10 Fives
5* level 75 Plo Koon's Ship w/ G9 Plo Koon
7* level 85 Jedi Counselar's Ship w G9 JC

Reinforcements

6* level 75 Wedge's Ship w/ G11 Wedge
6* level 75 Genosian Soldier's Ship w/ G11 GS
5* level 75 First Order Tie Pilot's Ship w/ G11 FotP

I found I was consistantly being obliterated everytime I destroyed Rex's ship first. Even though it seemed counter intuitive when I finally decided to save Rex's ship for last I won and only lost one ship Biggs.

I survive the first round and many rounds after that, but the AI always reinforces.

This. And I'm really not understanding this event. I have 5 level 82/84 6* (and 2 7*) ships - and can't even come close. I usually lose 1 in the opening volley - then retreat and try again. In the rare circumstances where I don't lose 1, I take out JC & Ahsoka, but the AI ALWAYS reinforces and I can't even take all the protection off of one of the ARCs - let alone 3 or 4.

I've probably tried about 50+ times in the past week. Tips are appreciated.

ETA: Nevermind. I give up. So I did this:

I win.

THIS! I'm in the exact same boat... It's ridiculous...

You used a geo soldier and FOTP? How that work out for you? Haha.

I just did this battle, and it came down to them having one clone ship left, and I had ahsoka, j-con, and bistan left. I used ackbars tm boosting special, for two hits on the clone, then they wiped me. Sigh. That's the closest I've ever been. But screw that. Done for today.

Biggs G10(85)
Wedge G10(85)
Ashoka G10(73)
5's G9(78)
JC G8(73)
Resistance Pilot G8(66)
Sergeant lvl 51 G7(48)

Survive onslaught, if you lose a ship, start over. For me 5's would go first, I'd hit Ashoka (with target lock); then Biggs would go; and Id use the call for assist (2nd option) and get her down lower, JC would go and call assist and add the extra protection. I would then use Ashoka and remove that protection with her special ability, then finish it off with Wedge. Usually Mace would follow up with an AOE, if he summons another JC, or gives an immediate taunt/protection to Clone Sgt; its usually a loss, unless 5's can remove it on his basic if he's next.

After that I would attack JC with JC, and use either Wedge (for extra dmg), or Biggs (to get some protection back, and if you get target lock all the better!). One more attack usually finished off JC, again if he single shots or AOE's all the better, then work on Rex. Biggs will usually be gone by now and 5's on his way. Its now a race to get down the remaining clone sergeants before Mace summons more Clones or JC's.

Finally completed it today with

Ahsoka 85 7* G10
Wedge 85 7* g11
Biggs 85 7* g11
Jc 80 6* G9
Bistan 80 5* g11/G7
Clone serg 73 5* g6

Rng gods smiled on me and AI only reinforced once.

I agree with taking out opposing JC and ahsoka first. I also saved ahsoka's buff cleanse to get rid of the taunt/crit immunity. If you have to spend ages with no crits I think you'll struggle to win

Overall though I think it comes down to a lot of RNG luck!

The first few times I tried I got wiped out. So I promoted and leveled my ships.

I still lost decisively. I got all my six ships to lvl 75, 6*, g8 pilots. Still get wiped out.

I get my fleet to 140k power and I get wiped out.

I level up a ship, try again, and the AI acts like it's neutered. I wipe out 3 ships before it reinforced. I finally won. Doesn't make sense, right? That's how I beat the stage, though.
