Heroic Phase 1: Aayla Lead 11.5% Video + Mod Guide

https://youtu.be/jPj6kLjoyrk
So this strategy is all about Aayla omega'ed leader ability to heal you for 10% of your max health if your resist an effect. If you load on enough tenacity, you can prevent any of your characters from dying... until enrage. The trick is to put on just enough tenacity so that each character lives long enough to just barely die to enrage, then the rest of your mods go for full damage. You will want health circles and tenacity crosses here, which is optimal for survivability.
Anakin/IGD: You want to get a good amount of potency on anakin/IGD so he can debuff grevious. I found 75%-80% is sufficient.
QGJ: He is squishier so you need to get 60-70% tenacity so that he stays alive.
Ahsoka: She is squishy too, but not as much because of her heals.
AAyla: She's pretty tough you don't need much extra tenacity on her.
This composition also works with Kit fisto, yoda, and other Jedi, but all those do less damage.
The only real gameplay tip I can give is to always try to land the buff immunity onto grevious, thats pretty much all you really need to know. Oh, and IGD's basic does more damage then is special.

    Thank you for this. This is honestly the most useful thing I've seen on the forums in awhile.


    Lol glad I could help. I agree, the constant complaining on here gets old.
  • Have you tried this with Grievous over 50% health? Ahsoka's special would heal for more and might be able to keep QGJ alive longer. Not sure if that would be entirely necessary based on enrage. My guild doesn't do Heroic AAT but I usually get ~900k w/ JKA (L), Ahsoka, IGD, QGJ, and Yoda (Don't have Aayla and need his Tenacity up to stop the DoTs when I can. Plus if he gives Foresight it stops B2 from taking off Offense up/Tenacity Up). After around this time he usually enrages. JKA (L) really adds to the damage output so if you can get your team to survive until enrage the dmg is much higher, but as I said, I don't know how this would fair in Heroic AAT.

    I have JKA modded for health and potency and crit chance (Only 6 stars atm so I need that extra health). Ahsoka is crit chance and damage with health primaries on both circle and cross. IGD is crit chance and damage as he's already pretty tanky and hits great against the droids, QGJ is potency and health mainly cuz I don't like switching off all of his potency mods from the rancor raid, and Yoda is tenacity and health so he doesn't get ability blocked too often.
  • I love how high pitched Grevious's laugh sounds in this video. Thanks for putting time and effort into making it, stuff like this really helps out
  • @DenzoKahn I noticed that salty01 is in your guild, ask him why he attacks outside his arena payout. We all think he is a PITA

    I like the 50% damage on ahsokas special for the aayla strategy, but I think you are right about the heal being better for above 50% when using JKA lead. I'll have to try that.

    The over 50% also helps immensely as I run Yoda because I don't have Aayla, so constant Foresight keeps him alive and if he spreads Foresight w/ Battle Meditation B2 can't dispel because everyone dodges. Just personal preference, although it's good to have a team set up for both over and under 50%. I actually love going in when he's around 55% health so it switches halfway through and you can get the survivability in the first half and then just rain down damage with Ahsoka in the second half.
