I know there was a rework on BH's, but IG88 seems alot weaker?

I think it’s a mix of lower damage for BH.
Higher armor, tenacity, defense for the empire toons.

Not sure I understand, please explain..?

Are you talking about 88 in general or just in terms of the bounty hunter event?

In terms of the event- all my BH damage is very low. So that means their damage has been lowered (with the omegas on their contracts I hear they do a lot more damage.)

And/or the enemies in the event are suped up with tenacity , defense, armor ratings. Maybe that’s what is causing the low damage- or the Bh damage has been lowered or both.

Bossk will be needed for survivability in the event, especially for Wampa.

I managed to beat the IPD twice but it took multiple tries.

G12 Boba, Greedo, Dengar, 88, and G11 Zam.

Tried all the different leads but Boba’s was the only I could do any damage with and keep up with the insane speed and TM of the enemies.

The tuning on this event is crazy though.

One try on IPD I had zBoba vs Shoretrooper.

Boba had the contract bonus and has the bayonet Armatek gear but he still lost hard to Shoretrooper.

That’s just insane.

The problem is that the Armor on the enemies on the event is very high, and in general BHs have relatively low armor penetration until they get to g12 and can equip a bayonet (most of them need one, except bossk and cad). Dengar & Greedo both have AP's in the 130's at g12. Before that they're in the 70s, and both are a pretty tough gear - Dengar needs tons of carbs and Greedo tons of cuffs (perhaps the most in the game). 88 in particular has only 27 AP until G12, and Cad has 39 total even at g12.
It looks like Fett's contract payout omega could really help, tripling his AP to 309 at g12. As a reference, a maxed Vader has 36.8% armor, and swgoh.gg lists his armor as 371. An AP of 309 should reduce his armor by over 80%, down to a mere 6% of damage absorbed.

Wampa is doable, but needs a hundreds of tries.

Sorry, I should have been more clear in my question. I meant in general.

All good. In that case. Idk lol sorry!

OK, tks!

The shards are NOT worth the investment here. Super disappointed in this event.

The Hunters were always one of my favorite teams, but I feel as if they've all been seriously nerfed in this rework.. The contract system is awesome, but they suddenly CAN'T do all the damage that they used to.. I figured they would get better, but it seems less effective now. I even do less damage in raids, even after activating contracts..

Is this where I come to cry that my G12 boba and then the rest of my G8 bounty hunters can’t beat the hardest tier?

To those complaining about the supposed recommended gear levels for each tier....welcome to the forums! You've just learned a valuable lesson, which is that the recommendations are useless. It's not just this event either, there's plenty of events where the minimum recommended gear or mods or level is pointless. Ignore it.

Those of you who are not new to the forums and are still complaining about this? Get over it. And ignore it. The minimum requirement is whatever it takes you to beat it, not what some text that usually isn't accurate tells you. Pretend it doesn't exist, you'll be happier. :)

I would say the « recommended levels » have always been subject to having arena-grade mods and full abilities (at least all omega’s, and even a useful zeta). With more average mods and missing some omega’s, required gear increases.
It was exactly that with the Endor event whose name eludes me (Forrest Assault ? Something like that). With the adequate team comp, good mods and abilities (namely, Imperial Troopers), it was a piece of cake even at lower gear levels. Without the good toons, mods, abilities, you needed a much higher gear level to succeed.

I soloed the Paploo and Han Solo contract event with a maxed boba g12. Not really that hard if you have your toons geared so idk why everyone is complaining?

1) Welcome to the forums ;)
2) People expect to complete all tiers of all events regardless of gear or abilities.
