Assault Battle: Places of Power too difficult?

Nihilus really skews the difficulty calculation on this one. It'd be nice to know what the developers intended, because with him it's so trivially easy and without him it's very difficult.

They advertise it as being Very Difficult, so maybe this is what they intend? In which case Nihilus' leadership ability is their way of rewarding people who have advanced that far into the game.

As I said, it's hard to tell because one character makes it such an insane outlier.

Yes it is. I don't have Nihilus. Wasn't playing when he was released. I worked really hard to get my sith and FO ready only to get my ass kicked repeatedly. I have yet to complete a single one of these events ever. I read the forums and it's interesting the number of people who talk about clearing it easily before and now can't like the ewok event. I get the message. Why doesn't it just say it's for long time players with these specific characters and others need not apply. I have 2 chars at gear 11 and no zetas. Don't even have enough 5 star ships to get access to the challenge. Working on it for 3+ months but the ships I need aren't in any of my shipments on a regular basis yet I face zeta teams on node 6 in GW. Apparently the goal is to get me to stop playing so it's a whale only game. I used to love this game but if more attention is not shown to the player base it's time to move on. There are other star wars games out there and other companies who would be pleased to have the cash I might spend.

My impression seem to be opposite, i couldn't clear the tier 1 previous time when the event was around. Now completed all there tiers quite easily, what is strange to me i didnt worked on my siths since last event. I run (and Runned last time) Zader (L) g11, Palpatine g10, Sid g10 (all lvl 85), DN g8 and Dooku g8 (both lvl 63).
For me it Felt like event was actually nerfed.
Nihilus seem to be MVP for this event.
But to be fair i had the same impression You've mentioned about ewoks.

I didn't have any zetas either but saw how potentially good Nihilus was so geared him up and levelled him up too, don't quit just keep playing I started out a while back and now doing well and just farm the GW for ships it's a pain but worth it, so is collecting the Zeta material but worth it

Hi all! So, I read every single post in a similar thread from earlier in the year and I applied what the players who said this was very easy recommended. And yeah, but NO. Not easy in any way or form.

Used Palpatine (L) L78 G8 Power 13,377, Vader L82 G9 Power 13,407, Dooku L82 G9 Power 11,539, Maul L75 G8 Power 7,102, Sidious L70 G7 Power 5,425.

All fully modded with health mods, most of them 5 dots

I would change my mods look for the arrow mod with speed max it out the best one goes up to 30+ speed and put it on your fastest sith that way you can hit harder faster, use potency and health try and hit the ewoks with the low health high damage first with some AOE attacks, stuns etc. Take out the elders before even bothering with Teebo but seriously save up your Nihilus shards save crystals and buy buy buy when you have enough for Nihilus and max his gear as high as possible and try to complete dark side 9-a to unlock him faster- basically his lead heals siths whenever they attack and has insta kill, good luck

My lineup:

Palpatine (L)
Dooku
DN
ST
Vader
