Forest Moon Mythic Tier [MERGE]

Done it after a few tries with zVader(lead), g11, thrawn(243 speed) g12, z(unique)ep g12, zr2 g12 and tarkin g11. Key was to fracture logray, than apply dots with vader, stealth all, expect r2 and kill elder, paploo, logray.... so beatable with not maxed out toons, all you need is a bit luck ;) and aplly this nice dots.from vader, they kill themselves with taking 1200 turns before you have one...

You know, i lost this event the first couple of times, and while i admit i can probably create a team to beat it, i dont want to, and am just gonna blame the devs for it instead.

I'm not gonna spend time doing something I do not enjoy because the devs don't know how to make something difficult without just giving your enemies 500+ speed.

This is a game, not a job; yet the Mythic tier feels like work.

I mean they could boost survivability (IPD bounty) or damage (Wampa Bounty)or Preloaded tm (Mythic evnets), or fancy abilities (STR) but no one really likes those either do they.

Damage is boosted in the regular forest moon and it's fine. Fancy abilities are also fine when done right. Basically every one of those approaches can be fine if done right, it's the "done right" part they have a problem with.

I assume “done right” means that it’s tuned to exactly the characters, gear levels, abilities and mods that you have already?
There is allowed to be difficult content in the game. Sometimes it can even be more difficult than you personally are ready to accomplish.
The point of a game is that you can play it, not just move from event to event hitting “auto” and collecting rewards.

Haters gonna hate. Trying to make them change their minds is more difficult than any event thrown at us.

For the record, I completed it and still think it is badly designed. It brings nothing except the need for specific characters at high gear. Luckily, this can also be forced by other compositions with high enough stats which makes it better than the Thrawn mythic and the key character, Tarkin, can be relatively low gear (mine was G9), but I still don't consider it a good event.

I didn't imply you couldn't beat it, i implied you're a hater.
The funny thing is that people are scrambling to find reasons to not like these events. Yours included.

I usually side with the devs on these hard events, but I'm seeing a trend of designing "very hard" events" by doing nothing but overtuning every attribute for your enemy. Not sure if it is the right way to go. At some point it stops being fun.

Yes! I beat the mythic tier with the following team:
ZVador (L) g11
ZVeers g10
ZThrawn g12
Snowtrooper g10
Shoretrooper g10

I barely won actually. Only Vador and Thrawn made it but that was enough. Veers and Thrawn had to often refill Shore's protection but it was worthy, Shore could held his ground with his immunity to crits. Vador as a leader helped a lot for wave 8 with the dots. Veers too with his aoe.

Hk47 g11 178 speed
Ig86 g11 188 speed
Ig88 g11 181 speed
R2 g12 257 speed number crunch zeta
Bb8 g12 274 speed roll zeta
Finish 3* on auto

ZzEP (L), DV, zzGAT, Shore, DT. All G12 solid mods. Basically my arena team. Ewoks went a ton of times but with shore and no crits they couldn’t do enough damage to kill anyone before a heal or prot recovery. At times I just stood there while they went over and over. Killed elder first then aoe whittled down everyone. Shore grenade cleared all the buffs every so often too.

Nice to see another full droid gang.

I used:

HK-47 (l) - G11
BB8 - G11
R2 - G12 (both zetas)
K2SO - G12 (zeta)
Chopper - G11


Did auto until end of wave 7.
No one died of mine and I killed the elder first.

I did fail once, and I think my mistake then was that I tried to kill Paploo first.

Did you actually enjoy the event? For me it was mostly a chore to get the two zetas.

Yes, i even retreated to be able to try another team. Manually played the 2nd hardest difficulty aswell, auto'd the other tiers.

What a fun and annoying (in a great way) event.

It took me a few tries but I did it.
I used zvader (L) Dt Shore (he died at the end) palp and Thrawn

The key is as someone said before - fracture logray and try to kill EE. With the Vader dots wicket and co were losing life all the while.

Fun and challenging event - as an empire guy I’m very happy.

Side gloat - 3 omegas from challenges plus this event and the prize box for dailies. Great omega day!

Firstly, I'd like to thank the devs for bringing a Mythic Tier to this event, I was looking forward to a new challenge since the first three Tiers have been trivial for a long time now. This tier was the most fun I've had in events in a long time. :D

For anyone that would like to know, I played through the whole thing manually, but I did it first try with
g12 Zader(L)
g12 zTarkin
g12 Thrawn
g11 TFP
g9 RG

everyone was on full HP and most Prot when entering round 8,
in round 8 I lost TFP and RG because they were squishy
the ewoks just died out from the DoTs and an occasional culling blade/Fracture/Tarkin AoE
don't forget to use the event ability, it comes in handy in round 8, think it heals 20% HP or something

Got it done with this squad. Took a few tries though.

zVeers g10
DT g11
Thrawn (no zeta) g12
zzBB8 g12
ZzR2d2 g12

Per advice on Reddit, fractured Logray before he could put daze. If I got dazed it was over. Then focus elder (remove taunt with DT). I used smokescreen on bb8 so he would either dodge (heal himself and R2 with zeta) or counter and call R2 to assist (stun).
