Great event, devs! Finally a little bit of a challenging event with pretty good rewards (3 zetas first time, 5* mods, and g12 gear pieces). Thanks again for listening to player feedback and adding the mythic event concept. I look forward to future ones and hope they prove to be just as difficult

This I can partially agree with even though the challenge came in the form of RNG. I don’t think I should have had difficulty with my resistance, they are quite decent. Yesterday my Poe rarely lived or the exposes didn’t land, it took 12 or 13 tries. Today it took one try.

I expected NOT to be able to participate, as I thought I’d have to use my BB8, Finn, Rey and the Vets. I guess I should be happy that I didn’t need them but now besides Rey there’s going to be little use to them for their lack of synergy with pretty much anyone else (thinking of TW). Maybe in defense...?

Anyway, looking forward to those other Mythic Events.

This Mythic event was awesome. Tuned to be difficult, but doable. Rewards were fantastic. Well done! Looking forward to more Mythic events.

The rewards have been good,a few high spd secondaries..its too bad i got hit with 3 -0x2 drops on chewie during double drops that i wont be able to apply them to rey..his drops are borderline disgusting as opposed to hans xrops

Its totally worth refreshing too. Still get salvage gear and two mods either purp or yellow as well as like 350k.. and this is a recurring event? This event was awesome and prizes matches accordingly. Hope to see more stuff like this in the future.

You’re fighting at least 3-4 different kinds of RNG. RNG is not difficulty, it is RNG. Gear and mods can help weather the storm, but that’s where RNG #1 comes in; with the AI attacking, are they attacks, or bonus attacks. If they’re attacks, you can build TM, but if they’re bonus attacks, you get an infinite loop where you are unable to generate TM and none of your stats matter. RNG #2 then shows it’s ugly head; there is no way to weather an infinite barrage if they target a single character and refuse to relent. But, let’s say you manage to make it through those. Guess what? RNG #3 decides to show up, by stunning Poe, or R2. Then, finally, RNG #4 comes to the party unwelcomed; do any of your exposes land? There is so much RNG to get past that there really isn’t any challenge, or difficulty underneath. Once Resistance gets its ideal turn, everybody admits that the fight is over.

Get your team to the recommend specs, G11 with powerful mods, and all of the RNG goes away.

I beat it. I had powerful mods and upgraded the gear on my team. There was just as much RNG as ever . Your statement is false.

3 for 3 so far and never came anywhere close to losing with my G11 resistance team I use for raiding. I could maybe see getting really unlucky and losing, but if you are good enough there are no issues clearing the event.

If you don't have what it highly recommends right on the description I have no idea why you are complaining about it being unfair..... I have a full G11 resistance squad with big speed sets and lost a couple times. I personally love that, and enjoy the addition of content for more veteran players. Rewards are great and I look forward to future Mystic Events.

Fair. Let’s also look at what else it says, though. Did you see any ‘careful strategy’ under all the pre-loaded TM and RNG?

The strategy they are referring to is what it took for you to get the win after your key characters were knocked very low on health. You had to find a way to gain the tm advantage in your favour and utilise BB8's illuminated destiny to recover and ultimately win. This is a mystic event for BB8 and I'd say this event shows how BB8 should function in a resistance squad even better than his actual event did. Had there been no tm pre-load there would have been no strategy at all and everyone would beat the event with ease. That I would not be happy with.

Strategy? The only strategy in this event is to survive the initial first order onslaught. Other than that there is no strategy.

There's strategy. Where folks are getting tripped up is thinking that strategy means you need a crazy trick up your sleeve that you wouldn't normally use. The strategy for this event is the same as the strategy for every Resistance battle is--get lots of exposes, break those exposes, get lots more exposes.

The strategy portion comes into this because you don't get to use your whole team--I normally run Rey and Pilot but had to lose Pilot because BB-8 is mandatory and had to lose Rey because there were too many debuffs for her to apply Daze--and the matchup isn't in your favor. You have two tough matchups in Stormtrooper and Kylo Ren that you have to handle without being able to reliably Daze.

This takes strategy. If Stormtrooper is the only expose left and it's your Trooper's turn, do you attack the Stormtrooper, knowing that if you do it's going to counterattack and call an assist? Do you keep popping exposes on Kylo Ren, knowing that every time you do that you increase the damage of his next attack and reduce the damage he takes on your next attack? Maybe if you pop that expose and land another one you can get enough TM for Finn to stun Kylo--or maybe you're just making Kylo harder to deal with.

It's all strategy. Just because at this level we're all of us well-versed in how to use Resistance to the point that it doesn't feel strategic any more doesn't men it's not. It just means we're good.

I did it with finn, poe, pilot and trooper after several attempts.
All rng. Had luck with trooper surviving and poe not being stunned + bb8 managed to daze the fost.

I did it with Finn, Poe, R2-D2, and Trooper. It took a few tries, but did it both times. Once bb8 launches his illuminated destiny its game over. Just survive until then. Good luck.

Simi managed it with this.

Finn g11, Poe 10, rt 10, rp 10, bb8 9

Took about 45-50 tries to getmthe right rng.. usually I'd loose 3-4 guys before getting a turn, sometimes all of them

I think it has been really fun. First time through yesterday I had no problem. Today I got destroyed the first run on the last tier, but had no problem on my second attempt. It has been great being able to play the Event and there are nice rewards.
