How does one resist a thermal detonator?

I am really shocked they didn't do anything about them. They are very powerful and i get that but they need to be viable and they are just not.

*Endures a nuclear explosion through pure grit!*

Yeah is bad. They can be resisted and cleansed. No bueno.

A dodge is leaping away before it explodes a resist is smacking it out of the air when it's flying at you like a softball at a little league game

If they add the animations for that I will accept it, but as long as there is no animation, I will not count it.

Very disappointed. It seems that instead of attempting to make them work, they just gave BH a leader who gets use out of them even if they fail. When Zam, Dengar, or Greedo try to apply 5 TDs, even if they get resisted or cleansed you at least get a 25% heal to health and protection. So at least they aren’t wasted now. Small consolation prize I guess.

I think that a good fix would be the following:

TDs cannot be resisted

TDs can miss

TDs are a locked debuff (cannot be cleansed, with exception of Zam's basic and Scavenger's detonation)

TDs cannot be duplicated (by moves such as Cassian's Crippling Shot)

Give a BH the following unique: Whenever a TD is cleansed by an enemy all BH gain 20% TM and speed up for 3 turns.

Give another BH the following unique: Whenever a TD is evaded or resisted all BH gain 20% TM and have their cooldowns reduced by 1.

Boom, TDs just became legit for a BH squad. They either do lots of damage, or they speed up an entire team. Win-Win. You could give these uniques to Jawas too.

Aaaaaand suddenly RJT was no longer required for the heroic sith raid since everyone just sent in their jawa engineer in phase 1.

Not that you cant use magma/deathtrooper, ns or a visas+massive non dot damage
Problem is that younger guilds do not have those handful of good combinations working...and this makes this blatant hp pool a nightmare for those guilds. If you have a complete roster, than surely you can use the super combos to do 5m+ damage...

The Sith raid simply doesnt work below tier 7. Yes its fine that this one is very difficult - but below it should be greatly reduced hp level to fit more in line to the guilds actually playing it (they simply have no deathtrooper, rey and mostly no ns or visas). Developers should think till the end and not just produce some nasty big hp pools which require very specific groups to beat it (last tier can have a high skill check np), level 1 - level 6 should be more relaxed...
