MALAK Knight side unbeatable?

Yeah this is friggen impossible. About 50 tries right now. Adjusting mods and matching the online vids. Just about the time you think you have him he attacks 7-8 times in a row, gets over 30 stacks, one shots zal, then takes no damage and cleans up. I have had him at 4 stacks of shred, 21 stacks, all pods gone, and he still wins.

If your malak is building up that many stacks by the time you take out a single droid then there is something majorly wrong with your mods. Maybe your offense mods are not good enough. If you posted your roster link, perhaps we could help better.

To answer the question, no, it is not unbeatable. Good luck.

If you aren't doing it already, let Malak absorb the debuff immunity Jedi. It'll stop Mission getting feared almost every time she attacks and really helps bump the dps.

If he gets too many stacks, it means you're not killing the droids fast enough, Shred each droid first, before beginning with Malak, I played for about 10h when I got him, and it only worked once I got the zeta on Mission, which you already have. When everything was finally set up(Malak with 5 shreds or so and all buffs were killed, he had crit dmg immunity and tenacity absorbed) Malak was at 5 or 6 stacks. 17 or 18 is way too high. Don't spam aoe, don't target him. Use Revan's assist special on a droid to kill it faster.

This event is so shady and if I spend 10 hours this weekend and fail, and I am up monday morning trying again and again with qualified characters watching every strategy video I can find, I will always remember CG as a cowardly company.

It's clearly not at all your fault that you can't beat an event that tens of thousands have completed months ago with fewer available gear tiers.

Definitely not unbeatable(considering how many people have Malak). I beat it the second time he came with G12 zzzJKR, G12 Big Z(no zeta), G11 zMission and zJolee, G10 zBastilla. I also swapped my arena mods onto them all. Make sure you use those mod presets to make it easier to put mods back where they were after you're done. It was far from easy and took a TON of tries, but it happened. Key is getting mods just right and doing following a specific attack plan EXACTLY. Someone posted a reddit link on the first page. I think that's the strategy I used.

It's been a while since I played it, but I still kinda remember the strategy since it took a lot of tries and was pretty stressful. lol. Basically, armor shred both droids(possibly 2 or more stacks, depending on how strong your team is) so you will be able to take them down quicker to keep Malak's stacks from getting too high. CAREFULLY apply armor shred to Malak while you manipulate those pods so he will absorb the crit immunity one(so you won't get fear every time you hit him), then the other one on the right. Make sure he doesn't absorb the two pods on the left. Don't go all in on Malak until you get AT LEAST 4 or 5 stacks of armor shred.

Good luck!

If your team cannot beat an event and there is more room to improve your team, then I suspect that further improving your team may improve your odds of beating the event.

Let Malak absorb both the Tenacity and Crit Immune buffs. Use Mission and Jolee specials to boost Zaalbar protection. Avoid JKR AOE until the end.

You get the dark side shards only once. Don't shred bots, shred only Malak. Give him the crit immunity buff so you don't get feared. Kill the other 3 jedis and bots with aoe and single fire. Get to 5 stacks of shreds and win.

Yea i tried it the way it shows on youtube videos but non of that worked for me. What i described above was just the last attempt i made, trying something different.

As far as the guy above with the imagination, maybe those people just spent money on the game and so they get "extra" help. Whatever the reason, i just know my team is over specced for the encounter and still fails. so maybe if i get them super specced i can win. its the same with the chewy event, i was slightly over spec and failed. when i super speced it was easy.

What’s overspecced? Details? Mods? Lol extra help for paying, unless you mean more gear etc

My team are all g12(almost 13), speed 230+, with my best arena mods. that why i wrote, maybe if they are g13 with relics i can win next time. as far as help, i mean the RNG might favor paying customers more.

Only in the sense that paying customers have more access to gear, which minimizes RNG.

Many people beat this before G13 even existed.

@Dafish1970 take time to get 4 stacks of armour shred, minimum onto malak before you kill the last of the pods, it’s the only way to do it..

Mod bastilla for offense, same for mission and get as much speed as possible on jolee and zaalbar.. then just keep plugging... I got 6 stacks on and 3* it.
