Let's talk about the IPB Special Mission.

First let me start with the ROLO Special on the LS TB. The first time I got through it, I did it with ease, with g8 Wedge, g6 lvl 53 CHS and g5 lvl 53 Hoth Soldier and g10 Chaze with mods. No problem whatsoever.

Yesterday I was finally ready with the shards for the troopers and I can into battle with g10 Veers, g8 Shore, g9 Snow, DT, Starck. All of them modded and at lvl 85 with omega upgrades. I survived the first wave with Veers, Starck and Snow standing without any protection. Obviously I didn't get past it. The funny thing is, there were like 4 elites in my first wave AND on top of that they all countered. It's needless to say how st u p id it is to have 4 elites countering on a team that is based on AOE..

So how about we tune it down a bit, because the difference between this and the LS special is off the charts.
  • If your Shore is geared, you should be able to aoe and eat all of those counters with protection to spare. Mine is 6 star, gear 11, and by the time the rebels started dropping, he was at around 10% protection. He went in to the second round at around 70% protection thanks to the zeta on Veers. If you can't eat the counters, trooper single target damage isn't bad, it just takes a bit longer.

    Yep. DSTB is harder than LSTB. That's ok. You'll get it eventually.


    Probably not though, g12 zeta max teams take months, even years.
  • Invest the time, or money. I did buy the 40 shard Starck pack. Build your team.

    G8/9/sometimes 10 won't cut it.

    Good for you, I assume you've got the troopers maxed out. There has literally been no special mission so far that has had such requirements. Combat missions and their difficulty is one thing, specials are another. Not being able to get through a special missions for shards with g9/10 toons is ridiculous.


    there wasn't any special mission like this and now it is.. Accepted it and make effort to beat it or just give up and stop complaining.
    Idk man

    You don't need g12 zeta max teams.

    The team I beat it with yesterday has no g12 toons in it. And exactly one zeta (Veers).

    Here's my team:

    A few things you'll notice - no one is modded to 200+ speed (and, in fact one is 151 and another 152). Starck is only g9 and Snow is only g10.

    So? It's the only way to get IPD shards. Go find your difficulty elsewhere.

    You actually won't. Most are getting less than 5 shards per TB.

    honestly, if everyone would just stop comparing it with LS TB, it wouldn't be such a big deal.
    It's similar to raids, the most recent one is just more difficult, as it should be.


    Have you ever not defended this game?

    Which is still too high considering we get one chance a month to get IPD shards.

    Wish the auto-fill could be disabled via an option, it almost never does the right thing.


    To add here, a few TW’s back my 4yo daughter managed to battle with my 5 top toons.

    Basically wasted 4 different teams on a CLS lead opponent :)
