Is Conquest supposed to be this difficult?

I am also doing a normal conquest now for the first time, and it's a struggle even with 4GP (returning player so a bit outdated). And it's a bit disheartening getting killed by G12 toons when I use relics :D. Shakti clones (R4-7) or Starkiller (with only Mara and palp relics) do fine in the first chapter but already struggle in the second. Other teams I have (from lightspeed) got mostly demolished :D.

I am a bit skeptical about the feedback we got here because a month before the conquest got changed quite a lot. If I remember correctly they tuned down only normal and hard bosses and only hard battles if my memory serves (there were complaints about bad batch speed, if I remember correctly, and so they tuned down hard battles). Thus, they haven't tuned down normal conquest except for bosses (if I remember correctly).

Anyway, is here someone who played NORMAL conquest 2 months before and plays it now? Is it the same difficulty as before? Anyone not playing it right now can have only outdated information.......

Ok.

Here you go.





Yes, only 2 star on the miniboss but some of them were 40% stamina.
I used the shown CLS squad, Iden troopers, empire (palp lead but no zeta, Vader, tarkin, gideon, mara), Bounty hunters.

I would struggle for feats this conquest due to no kneesa, crex, tarful. But if I hadn't stopped using this account I would have all that stuff and I'm confident I could get a few reward crates.

I didn't think it was any higher difficulty, and if a 1.5M gp account can do that, then it's truly a case of getting good for a 4M gp account.

Thanks, your CLS is better than mine, so that helps (though against padme it could be problematic).

However, I still believe that the difficulty is not right.
Mostly because of speed (with CLS you can probably mitigate that with Han and good cards), because I would estimate the speed on all nodes to be 220-370 (yeah that high with +60% overprepared, in sector 2 I am basically never taking a first turn with my regular 270 speed toons).
Also, the contrast with the sector two miniboss squad is very apparent. The bounty hunters there have like 150 speed and are a complete joke when compared to other teams. Probably because there are no hidden bonuses (and my gut says that it's because the bosses got a fix and the normal teams did not.....)

So I guess I should do feats on bosses and just go through the rest..... Sounds logical :D :D
