I am 0/3 for this tier and have lost 180 tickets, I also would have unlocked him by now. But I for some reason cannot figure out what I am doing wrong. I have followed the guides by cubsfanhan, ahnald, bulldog, gaming fans, and many others. If you watch their videos/read their articles they all mention "even if you do everything right you can still lose". Every single one of the "do everything right and still lose" scenarios has gotten me. I am now looking at another 2 days of farming tickets to try the tier again, and a total of 6 days until I unlock him if I get lucky enough to beat it 3 times in a row. This is beyond frustrating and I am really hoping someone here can help me out.My most recent attempt mimics what happens at the 5:50 mark of bulldogs video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fwAk8dJ3yjMHere is my current setup on JKL: https://swgoh.gg/p/249623776/characters/jedi-knight-luke-skywalker

Here is what I came up with from what I have. Does this look better? I only lost speed, albeit a good bit of it .... but didn’t lose any offense really and add much more protection.

I always just led off with 4, 1, 2.. went from there. My JKL had 102k protection as well, and he seemed to cruise through. Fingers crossed your days of lost tickets are over!

1 down, 2 to go! Thanks folks! https://imgur.com/gallery/bO0Xdsu

So yeah, valid strategy, try it

I think you need a critical damage triangle mod, speed dosent mater, damage over 11k.
I had 90% victory with this turn order:
heroes arise, basic, stalwart advance if possible, basic, after that vader is done for me. If not use heroes arise/stalwart advance or just basic.
With jedis will you counter every time vader hit you, the goal is not to lose jedis will.

I have to agree.. just need some more damage output for his wealth of crits. Keep the Jedis Will buff up as much as possible and it should hopefully run smoothly from there.

Your offense is good, and the crit avoidance arrow helps too.

I do Stalwart Advance first and most often basic Vader to death after, but Heroes Arise helps to keep Jedi’s Will buff. TBH I’m not sure why you are having trouble. Your modding should be enough to complete it. Maybe slightly more speed could help (around 210ish vs your 194)?

Speed doesnt matter, luke start any way, if his speed is under vaders, vaders speed will be reset to lukes thanks to his lead. ;) you will see the blue buff on vader if it happens.

That is true, Luke goes first no matter what, just ran the start with lower speed than OP. Since the only suggestion that OP doesn’t have is the crit damage triangle, try that. Though it will lower your offense. One other suggestion would be to try protection circle instead of health. Luke regens protection, could be helpful.

- replace offense triangle with a CD one if possible
- replace the CC set with an HP one if possible
- replace the HP primary circle with a protection one if possible
- use stalwart advance first and whenever possible

I tried it again a dozen times to test if it's rng depending but i never lost so it should work with

- stalwart advance
- basic
- (vaders turn)
- heroes arise
- stalwart advance
- (vaders turn)
- basic
- basic

The Emperor in 2/2 is stunnable so you should use Lukes 2nd special first, then stalwart advance again, and finish him off with your basic.

Thanks everyone ... I should have all of those mods available outside of the 6- crit avoidance arrow ... I’ll number the abilities 1-2-3-4 with 1 being his basic

I honestly didn’t even notice my triangle was offense so I will definitely try that out. My health primary on circle was only used because it was my highest offense secondary. I’ll see what I can whip together.

For my last 2 tries I did 2,1,2,1,4,2,1 .... essentially I have been using 2 to start and then when possible, 4 when I get low on health, and basic when I have to. I completely ignore 3 because it’s useless.

Thanks again for the help, this tier has really frustrated me. I put it off as long as I could but now I have to beat it to unlock JML.

That should do. Also, I would be careful using ability 4 that late in the wave as you are likely clearing dots and giving health to Vader as well.
