Mythic Event [MERGE]

OP must have received their DS TB rewards from last month. Those of who still have not.... are kinda a little skeptical of all of this things you praise.

It’s not all about speed!

I really liked this event and here's why:

It is challenging in a way that highlights the strengths of the Resistance synergies. Sure the loaded TM is a bit gimmicky. And the FO TM gains are unrealistic. But we already know that event characters and teams are tweaked. CG has said main characters, like Thrawn, in the legendary events start with reduced cooldowns. This isn't much different.

So you face a barrage at the outset and an enemy that gains TM very fast. Resistance is great at controlling a battle through TM manipulation. So if you survive the first 20 seconds you have to use the very thing the team is good at to succeed.

And what about that initial barrage? We'll, the event does suggest G11 toons. That seems to be focused on surviving until you can get a turn. If you can do that, which is possible with a little luck at G9 or G10, you can use the mechanic introduced by this event, BB-8's Illuminated Destiny, to rebuild protection and survivability.

It's been suggested that increasing tenacity on the FO team would have been a better way to make this event challenging and I disagree because without the exposes it's just a slug fest. Why even use Resistance at that point? It would be even more RNG dependant. Poe doesn't expose anyone on his first turn? Retreat.

For anyone looking for strategy ideas:
I completed tier 3 with a very mediocre, mostly G9/G10, team on the 4th or 5th try.

G9 zFinn (L)
G12 R2, 260 speed - use smoke screen ASAP to focus attacks on R2
G10 Poe
G10 Trooper
G8 BB-8

R2 is there to take a beating until Poe can go. And his stun is incredibly helpful too. Between him and Finn you can potentially stun everyone. And finally, his AoE Improvise can load the team with TM in a hurry if two or three exposes are present. Other than that it's the typical Resistance strategy.

Thanks for reading!

First try, with g12 Poe and zFinn, g11 BB8, RP and RT

The third time through took me, 5 tries

Agreed. It makes me smile seeing a big list of events over the next week. Nothing worse than looking in events and it being empty.

I enjoyed this event. Nice to have something that is a challenge from time to time.

I think most have received by now...

Mythic events are fantastic! First and second tier are gimmes, is thanks for that.

Tips for tier 3: use R2, not billy club Rey. Have R2 stealth everyone, and not himself. He can take all the hits and it’s gives others some time to get rolling. I did it with poe at 202 g10. Other resistance is g10. R2 is g12. Totally doable

R2 also pops ALL exposes with his special, so that gets you some quick TM even if the FO is mid face stomp on your team

Mine loaded, but it's impossible. I have a pretty crazy, fast, two zeta resistance team, but the enemy starts with full TM and I don't even get a turn
