GAS P4. What a joke.

Don't trust the videos for Gen Sky. Alot of them boast how 'easy' it is with really weak droids but much like those ppl unlocking 3PO with g9 ewoks, they're only showing you one battle out of thousands they attempted.

Relic B1 and Droideka are pretty much necessary. Even then it’s extremely difficult. And it’s very important to get droideka’s speed perfect as well as the rng of him assisting. He needs to be able to get his shield up before Gas crits him and reduces his cool downs.

Plz don't use the term "difficulty" for this game. There's barely any difficulty in swgoh, 99,9% is either gear grind, rng or a combination of both. Difficulty implies that we players could have control on what's going on in the fight, while -especially in this very case- in fact we do not.

Bitter??? Lol Why do you play then? If you have no control besides opening your wallet or grinding, then what’s the point? Your comment is very snide and dismissive of the fact that skill and strategy are just as important as luck and a wallet.

I can see the no skill point. Relying on RNG to work in your favor is not skill. Strategy yes, but again, depends on RNG. Gearing up guys helps eliminate RNG, but again.... still dependent.

If RNG is too much of a factor then you need need more gear/relics, better modding &/or better tactics.

Also, what is the point of the crit avoid arrow if Gen Sky is still gonna do 30k damage every time. 4 hits and my B2 is done.... **** useless.

Crit avoidance simply reduces the attacker's crit chance. How useful it is depends on how high the attacker's crit chance was to begin with.

Just FYI, promoting a crit avoidance arrow to 6-dot boosts its primary stat from 24% to 35%, a significant improvement.

Why are people so relucdant to gear ggs droids?

The same reason they attempt to use under-geared squads and then complain about RNG: they don't understand the game they're playing.

I'm with you on GAS: VERY painful. Check out my post: Phase 4 Mods: it really IS all about RNG & the mods. https://forums.galaxy-of-heroes.starwars.ea.com/discussion/238221/phase-4-mods-it-really-is-all-about-rng-the-mods#latest

Check out the post as I now has GAS, thanks to the help of this forum, YouTubers - but mainly to my Guildmates - Game of Clones: First Legion. BIG lessons:

P4 is all about the opening salvo, just like the Chewie event. If they Daze, Stun, or go after B2 or B1 and Magna doesn't taunt or counter, RESTART: you'll never win since Magnaguards counter is critical. If they go after Magnaguard and he counters, then you have your shot. Otherwise, back out and start over.

Stunning Rex is a MUST; in my experience, you will know RNG is with you when you take down GAS w/out using Droidekas middle ability (Reconstructive Revolution), saving it to one-shot Fives. THIS is one most videos don't pass along but I found it critical to conquering Phase 4.

Good luck!

Editing makes it really easy to look like you did in in a try or 2 when it really took 100. It's just pure RNG which is a pathetic design. I'm sure Someone has taken a lower end team in and the RNG simply went their way early, but for 99% of the people it's not going to work that way.

The point of the video's is simply to get clicks, someone being honest and having a 12 hr video showing it's pure RNG isn't going to get clicks because people inevitably believe there's an answer and the guy with 100 tries in his video isn't the answer they want.

RNG RNG RNG RNG RNG

I'm sure they tried tons of times too. But it seems like I should be doing much better. Also, the amount of counters and assists the clones do is insane in actual battle compared to what I've seen in videos. I want to say they made changes since most of those videos were made. Very misleading and shitty of EA to make the game that much harder, also fighting against the shitty RNG that is outrageously inconsistent.

Relic B1 and Droideka are pretty much necessary. Even then it’s extremely difficult. And it’s very important to get droideka’s speed perfect as well as the rng of him assisting. He needs to be able to get his shield up before Gas crits him and reduces his cool downs.
