I'd noticed that CUP's usually destructive firepower to be underwhelming in this event.

Not many comments on here surprise me anymore but this was an unexpected joy. Now I've got to clean up my beer I just spit everywhere

Traya is supposed to cleanse all debuffs, key word is "ALL"
Gg metaloid monstrosity does not kick in when a droid dies
Malak is supposed to take a bonus turn when his health hits specific thresholds, it does not work
Malak is supposed to take reduced damage from max health based attacks, except malgus hits Malak with a max health attack and instantly kills Malak

Context and more information here would be important. For instance, if you are talking about fear, that can't be cleansed by Traya, its not dispellable. Don't know about GG, but if he was inflicted with fear at the time that his bonus turn kicked in, say if someone died due to DRs leap then that could appear as though it wasn't working. If Malak takes too much damage and passes through the thresholds the damage inflicted doesn't simply stop there, so he can be killed in a single stroke. Similarly, if he was inflicted with fear simultaneously as triggering a bonus turn that would seemingly prevent a bonus turn. Finally, Malak takes reduced damage from percentage health damage effects. This refers to DOTs, burning etc. Max health based damage like Malgus does (also GG and Malak himself) are a different sort of damage.

Just because GLs are mid game accessible does mean they are mid game teams
Early game is building teams, mid game is building fleets, end game is filling in your roster with GLs

Once again, GLS are end game

Disagree. If you have the GP to take part in proving grounds (4M) then you have access to the resources to have built multiple GLs. If you have chosen other priorities that is your prerogative, but it doesn't change the fact that those things are accessible and achievable to you. If you are intending to get every other fleet and JG character before starting on GLs you may well be waiting a long time to unlock your first GL.

Simply declaring all GLs to be endgame does not make that necessarily true.

I find all the comments about wrong roster focusing and match ups hilarious...
PG is meant as a catch mechanism for accounts not ready for this particular conquest to unlock the unit afterwards. And the last few battles failed pretty hard at that, requiring very specific toons and strategies to win, making the catch up part very hard.
The new swolo battle seems better, but I would hazard that having 4 million GP as a prerequisite, should be enough of a entry barrier.
I had no problems with any of the PG, even if I only managed to 3* the tie interceptor Pg this time, but they should be actually manageable for most 4 mil GP players.

Not by SLKR or SEE

Beatable with SEE.

Malgus does damage to an opponent based on HIS OWN max health, not the target’s. Units like Malak and KRU that take reduced damage from max health based attacks, are referring to attacks doing damage based on THEIR OWN max health, like expose damage.

Malak has full health, gets hit hard enough to put him in the red, and he just stands there
Malak takes reduced damage from max health effects, including an attack that does damage based on the max health of the attacker like malgus, and this attack kills Malak from full health. But if you hit malgus with a max health based attack like from grievous, it basically bounces off.
The event cant be more obviously broken.

Why do we need end game teams to beat an event aimed at mid game players?
This event seems intentionally bugged to ensure it is unwinnable by 95% of the players to force them to buy packs.
Why else would they need to super juice an already strong team?
Then most kits do not work properly in this battle.
I wish the game worked properly, I would love to whale on my account, but I refuse to financially support this

So hear me out - I’m not an end game player by any means (5M GP) with 2 GLs - and the squad / comp I found to beat the challenge (still after requiring multiple re-starts) does not include using a GL in lead. (Even though most threads I could find anywhere included JML etc etc)

What’s your roster like?

At the end - I found a comp with: JKL (R7), HYoda (R3), Darth Malak (R5) (with health set primary / secondary mods), SLKR (R7) and a random other tank got it done for me. (Edit - other random tank was KRU (R7) - he always took the first one shot by Malgus move) you have to get the RNG to take out Darth Revan and one other before Malgus hopefully getting deathmark.

With that said - I still can’t beat the interceptor proving grounds after they made it so when you pass turn from hux to Slkr it triggers reva’s taunt for some reason so I can’t stun GI… so yeah.

Lots of trial and error
