I agree that it doesn’t seem to have gotten any harder but it is easy to get owned if you are not prepared. The advice about only using hard counters is good. I don’t fight Troopers with anything but Raddus. And only fight JTR teams with SLKR or CLS (been rolled too many times in previous Conquests by them). Dunno if you are trying to stick to the gold path but it is always worth looking at alternate nodes to the gold ones. I try to stay gold leading up to data disc nodes so I have more selection but since I don’t usually buy consumables from the Jawa it’s worth going off the gold path if there’ll be more favorable nodes for farming feats. Other than that it comes down to getting the right set of discs up and running.
