We are all allowed opinions here.

Well. So glad I got them all to R5 mid-september in anticipation of the normal cadence, pushing my profundity prereqs back a bit. I guess I'll just take the extra assault battle earnings as my consolation prize. SMH CG.

I'm no fan of CG, but dude, why? Profundity is the meta ship right now. You know it's back every month. GI is not that impactful yet and we didn't know when it was coming back for sure. You chose the worse unit with an unknown return over the better unit with a known (and imminent) return. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Because one event comes back every month, and the other returns every 3-4 months (or so it was generally thought). So in terms of planning, it's better to prioritize for the less frequent event. I'll be getting Prof on Sunday, but was banking on getting GI in Oct and then prof. If we'd known GI was 6 months away, that would have significantly altered my plan. Let's be honest, if GI had come back earlier and I'd done the opposite, people would still call me out for not being ready for GI, since the legendary candance is 'well known'.

It's 4 keycards, it's fine.

That is for the GI feat. There’s a deal more keycards tied to Inquis and I would assume those are easier with GI than without.
So while the hard req is only 4 KC, there’s more to it imo.
Possibly I’m just bitter since I’ve been ready roughly 1 month after first event run….

Honestly, I don't care when the GI event returns. I spent almost an hour trying to beat the Fulcrum tier before giving up. R7 Ninth Sister, all zetas except Second Sister, all Mk VI mods taken from my GLs and I still couldn't beat it. I've completed every character event in the game except Jabba and never came close to anything that frustrating.

I forgot Torture, so 9.

With that said the rest should be easy if you have the team ready.

I had some trouble with it too - but there's definitely a strategy involved that minimizes the RNG. Once I had my head wrapped around that it only took 3 or 4 attempts. That was after roughly 10 attempts without knowing the strategy. Super annoying though - I agree.

This one is quite thorough:

Also a good one:

Armor shred helps a lot - but the biggest thing is getting the turn order right (and I don't remember what it was tbh) - but keeping crit immunity and evasion up is key for lasting long enough for Fulcrum to get max stacks of focus.

Edit: it's worth mentioning that I had all the zetas when I did it - these two videos are "minimum required" but if you're trying it with the bare minimum you can expect that it's going to be more difficult and/or more subject to bad RNG.

the new droids have torture so there is a workaround
