I think they increased the difficulty of 'places of power'

Funny. First time through it ended my weakly modded Maul and EP vs Yoda and it took him about 5 minutes but Yoda killed them both.
Squeaked by on 2nd run.

Today breezed through non-issue.

Today I had a full auto 5 minute battle 5v1 against yoda. That guy just kept attacking until I won

Yesterday I had maul vs yoda in auto and it went for a good 15 minutes. I really don't even know how it finally ended. Must've got really lucky with multiple evasions in a row. But even then yoda still gets foresight so I'm not sure how I won it.

Ok, i just opened up the forums to see if anyone had started a thread about this. I think i might have just gotten REALLY lucky with RNG the first time because ive been getting slaughtered the second time.

The first time i used palp lead and did fine, but this time, he barely gets me to the last battle. So i switched to (non zeta) maul lead. But now, even if im lucky enough to start battle 8 with palpatine, the jedi have too much evasion and tenacity for EP's stun to stick.

Im not saying its too hard (i still enjoy the event and think its the best we've had in a while), but i've been doing the bonus tier over and over and still can't pull off a win. I get REALLY close (often its just yoda and maul 1 on 1) but cant quite get it.

Nihilus comes in very handy in this event, if you can put him behind a tank or 2 to keep him alive he doesn't need to be geared to the max, load up his annihilate and use it on yoda, it does go through his foresight as well.

Eventually Yoda uses his two specials to spread tenacity up/health up and the unstoppable force. If he uses those two in a row he won't have Foresight. Also, I just annihilated Yoda today with Nihilus so it went even faster than yesterday :)

Seriously I breezed through bonus last night and now I can't even kill off 1 Jedi at phase 8

It really depends on how much TM you have banked on your characters when you start phase 8. If some of them are near 80-100% TM you'll probably just run right through them, but if most of them are under 50% they'll attack a lot.

I'm surprised sith is having an issue since they are anti-jedi
I used a zeta phasma FO team, not sure how bonus tier went down cuz I put on auto and put down my phone, picked it up later when I saw reward screen

It's not that bad, although I think a lot of people have most of their sith under geared and are just relying on their anti-jedi abilities. Also the sith are fairly slow and have less TM gain/manipulation than the newly reworked FO team does. They have individual TM gain, but none that's synergy based. And they have fairly low speeds in general other than Sid and Dooku. If yoda spreads tenacity up right away before you can land debuffs I can see how the last phase might start off rather difficult, but I had Sid, Vader and my 3* g8 nihilus go before Yoda in the last phase and made things very easy. (GK was taunting when Nihilus went so I used the cooldown increase), then Maul went and took out half of them and it was really quite easy. Also I was using a Sidious lead to stack offense throughout the 8 phases (Maul crits all the time and was getting 4-5 crits per phase at least which lead to a veryyyyy big offense increase heh
