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

I actually found the 1st day much harder than today, but that's probably because yesterday I was figuring out how to win and today I just won.

For me it was easier.
Yesterday I tried Palpy lead, and it was quite hard, but with Zader Yoda is sooooo easy. All you have to do is just place 2 dots on Yoda, and he will kill himself with his unstoppable turns XD

I haven't been able to beat tier one.

I solo the thing with just my maul to see if its possible. It was, so i really doubt the difficulty went up.

3 manned Tier 1 with G7 3* Nihilus(L), G9 6* EP and G9 5* Vader. Technically I also had 2 level 1s to make up the numbers but they got aoe'd in first turn.

Used at least 4 annihilates meaning Nihilus was quite the tank by the end :smiley:

Auto'd the whole event.

Rng is playing way too much into the game lately and this event is no different. There is no excuse for a game design like this where depending on rng, and ONLY rng, you either win easily or lose terribly based on it.

Arena is the same now too. Good example is boba; does he proc ability block on rex for two turns and also others like chaze and GK in opening move? If not you lost. If so, you won with full protection. Yesterday I played and ability blocked entire team then next battle vs same team (we went back and forth trading places) ability block doesn't proc on primary target at all and only one toon gets the debuff. It's so unfun :neutral:

It's rng man!!

Generally speaking, the only thing you can do about this element is use characters that rely less on RNG. QGJ zeta, you know Jedi will start with foresight. Rex and Yoda, unless buff immunitied, you know they'll give tenacity up. When it comes to sith and the dark side in general you usually don't know what the heck they'll proc.

On topic, I autoed places of power today and barely lost protection. Didn't notice an increase in difficulty.

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.

Pretty much this. If they went first then I had a very tough time since Yoda would just give everyone tenacity If Vader was able to get Force Crush in first, and Palpatine could stun everyone then I had a much easier time. Yoda on his own was able to defeat 3 of my characters on a few occasions. Vader was hitting his basic pretty hard through foresight and has ability block so I found this very useful. Once I got Vader to T11 it became much easier.
