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 :(

Ok I may be beating a dead horse but this challenge is ridiculous. A few problems:
1. It's glitchy, some of my attacks don't even register. I mean doesn't say dodged, resisted, nothing.
2. Tenacity of the enemy is WAYYYYY too high. Why do I even waste mats raising abilities to debuff if 75% of my attacks are resisted. Target lock is the biggest problem
3. Enemy has to high of a critical chance. 8/10 times I lose a ship in the first move because of criticals. These ships don't even have critical buffs so I don't know where they come from.
4. The recommended criteria are way too low for what it should be. This battle should not be harder than 7* legendary character battles. Then was easier to get then a 6* home one.

I may not have a stellar squad, but it should at least stand a chance. Granted I only have 6 ships available, and one of them have a weak unheated crew, but I should be doing better than I am with what I got

Biggs 7* G10 - X-Wing (lv 82, ability 6 average, 7*)
Wedge 7* G10 - X-Wing (lv82, ability 6 average, 7*)
Ghost 6* Crew 7* G8 (lv 81, ability 4 average)
Phantom 6* Crew 7* G8/Ezra G9 (lv 81, ability 4 average)
Cassian U-Wing Crew 7* G5/6/7 (lv 74, ability average 1/2)
Jedi Consular 7* G8 - Ship (lv 81, ability 6 average)
Ackbar 7* G9 - Home One 5* (lv79, ability 4 average)

Kinda posting me off. I understand my u wing is weak, but my main four shouldnt die by turn 3.

A fight that is purely and solely based on RNG is preposterous. This should not exist in the first place. I understand it should be challenging, but this is not challenging, except maybe towards our patience, because it is only and pure luck.

Have failed around 100 times so far, I run (all lvl85):
- ashoka 7*, pilot 7* g9
- jc 6*, pilot 7* g8
- biggs 7*, pilot 7*, g9
- wedge 6*, pilot 7* g8
- cassian 7*, all pilots 7* g8

Reinforcements:
- phantom II 6*, all pilots 7* g8 except ezra g10
- ghost 6*, all pilots 7* g8

I systematically get obliterated, I've never been anywhere close to a win.
Devs simply never tested it and don't care about it.

I have been stuck on this for monthsas well. All my pilots are now 7* level 85 G10+ with some Zetas, all ships I use are 7* and level 85. It has never got easier, my fleet power is over 300k. I almost had it 1 time a while back when my strongest ship was 6*. I have a feeling it scales with your power. I have Asokah, JC, Biggs, Ghost, Phantom, Bistan, resistance Pilot and Cassians uwing. I am now working on getting wedges ship up to try a different lineup. I dont know what else to do.

Got it with this:

Cassian U-wing - 7* L 85
Biggs X-wing - 7* L 85
JC Starfighter - 7* L 85
Wedge X-wing - 7* L 85
5s Starfighter - 7* L 85
Resistance X-wing - 5* L85

No pilot higher than G9. My total fleet power is more than 300K, but this lineup is not my strongest and I still got it. Just keep restarting like others have said.
