Mythic Event [MERGE]

Why don't they just put in the event info that Zeta-Finn is required. I am seeing people with zeta-finn and level 8-9 resistance team steam roll this event. Has anyone at all been able to do this event without a zeta Finn? If so I would like to hear your strategy.

Because Resistance only has two leaders, and only one of those has a zeta and the other is a dumb ability.

Right, so why indicate that the event requires G11+ when z-finn can do it with g8-9? I got news for u, G11 resistance team without Z-Finn CANNOT do it.

Because g8/9 teams with Finn are saying it takes 100 tries, while teams with g11 are saying it takes 3.

Just because you can do something doesn't mean it's a good idea. I can drink motor oil, but I'm not going to.

Also, your choice of leader is part of the strategy. See this response from the event designer:

This was more or less the idea I used to tune it. Have enough gear/health to survive the initial onslaught (Sorry g7 characters) then enough potency/speed on PoE to start the Expose train. I wanted people to have to use the dominant Resistance strategy to win, because that feels super good when you make it happen. (This is what the "careful strategy" the is alluding to. There's a lot of people who have resistance teams who are unaware of the zFinn strategy.)

I feel like you're missing my point. I am not arguing that we should be using Poe lead, or be able to do it on luck with lower resistance teams, i am pointing out that the entire encounter hinges on whether the player has a zfinn as opposed to non-zfinn. G11 resistance teams with ideal mods and Finn lead is equal to g8-9 resistance team with z-finn lead in terms of accomplishing the encounter.

Okay, that's good to know that designer designed it to be defeated with zfinn team.. Wish the note indicated that directly where it mentioned the G11 info. There's people that leveled their resistance teams from g7-8 to g10-11 only to be stonewalled on the zeta finn lead ability. Encounters should not be hinging on a single ability.

Who has g11 Resistance teams and doesn't have Finn zeta'd, though? That's part of the point I'm trying to make.

I agree with NicWester's post above. If you leveled your Resistance to G10/11 and this event forces you to put a Zeta on Finn then it's doing you a favor.

I like that things like this aren't part of the description. I don't want to much hand holding when it comes to team comp and strategy.

Once Jedi training rey is out you'll probably be able to use her zeta leadership or zeta Finn leadership. So zeta Finn will no longer be a requirement
