It's clearly a mislead.. i see boba and ig88 at g11
:unamused:

Have you ever used a g8 ig88 3 hits is all it takes lol, mine is g11 now and still pretty weak

Next up: How to solo the rancor with g1 characters ! ;)
Other than that, i believe this vid could be usefull for a whole lot of players.

lets just mention that boba and ig88 are g11, and that your guild is full of whales that buy everything and 160M gp so you can easily fill the platoons.
not that i care much, but its very misleading and "doing this exact tactics" is useless suggestion if it cant do the exact same thing.
however, good job on the video and your success, and on your good will.

this TB i though i was going to be able to win with my BH that is untill in one of their missions they encountered 3+ Pilots, RIP no thermal detonators

Well, he's saying beat the mission and that's true - but with characters geared / modded like this you won't win 100% of the time here. And BH do stink because if the TD tactic fails they have nothing to fall back on. For example - Zam throws the TDs and they get resisted EXCEPT on the stealthed spys (had this happen to me before despite having heavy potency on Zam) so you have no TDs to hit. You also have a potential issue if you can't land the ability block on the Rebel Pilot (this has happened to me also) and he will cleanse everything and you're in a world of hurt. I actually use this exact same config, but in order to close down the pain from these RNG holes and increase my win rate I took Dengar to G9, Boba is G12, 88 is G11, Zam and Cad are G10. This feels about the minimum for having a >90% win rate. I also remod a bit and get better mods on Boba, Cad, and Zam.

The OP never said this will win 100% of the time, so it's not misleading in that way - but agree I thought this was going to be an all G8 squad so the title was a bit click-bate style. Still, a good video with an overall low level team and thanks for sharing.

Calling an actual helpful video click bait and misleading is par for the course these days on the OF.

lmao, you can't blame the forum for calling him out on that obvious clickbait title.

The only part I find misleading .. or lacking anyway (title aside) about the video is it doesn't address the risks appropriately or analysis on the likelihood to lose. As I noted above, if Boba's AB on the pilot is resisted it's a whole different ballgame...With this gear and mod level you're really needing most stuff RNG-wise to go in your favor or at least as planned. I still think it's a good video overall, it's just sold heavy.

Thanks for your constructive criticism @JohnnySteelAlpha and thank you Maegor for seeing the helpfulness.

Johnny, I tried to make a short and concise guide to follow so I had to make editing choices on what to keep. Those are great questions and great points tho and I'll try to include them in future videos, as well as answer your exact issues in a follow-up video about bounty hunters.

I have won this mission in all 3 DSTB's that have occurred, with this recording being from December. This last DSTB I had everything you mentioned go wrong (lol) with pilot getting cleansed, Cad stun not working, Dengar not getting enough crits to tressure TM. I was still able to recover with this strategy and pull a win with a few toons dying in the process. The kill order and goals of each character stay the same.

I'm thinking of a follow-up video on how to recover should things head south. Stay tuned, and all constructive criticism is welcomed!
