Mythic Event [MERGE]

Don't give up.

Did it (last tier) with R2 g12, Finn/ Poe g8, RT g9, everybody with bad mods (except R2).

In most of the tries i couldn't even make more than two moves. It's rng only. Finally everybody survived, Poe got his turn and I 3-stared it, easy peasy, I couldn't believe it.

T3 is RNG madness. Just have to keep trying until your 4/5 guys including Poe survive the initial onslaught. You need RT to dispel the FOST taunt and Poe to use his special, before boarding the expose train. ZFinn, RT, Poe, BB8, R2 ftw.

But it sure is maddening when Kylo keeps targeting and stunning your Poe.

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.

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.

This is a good point. Just look at beating Tier 3 as a discount for putting a zeta on Finn. Pay 20 upfront and get 3 as a refund when you complete the terms of the discount contract (beating T3)

It is fun to play something what is actually still a challenge! Love it! Good job guys!

It was nice to get three zetas as a reward, since I haven’t received a zeta from ship challenges in almost a month.

One of my mythic rewards was an offense mod with a +3 speed secondary that upgraded all the way to +3.

I have a g11/10 resistance... took me 20 resets to complete it. Just had to get lucky with rng, if they don't stun you you have a chance if someone manages to dodge.

I did it with Zinn,Poe,Rey,R2,BB8.
Loved it!! End game content is +++1 in my books.

I beat it on the first day without needing a second attempt. Today is a different story. I've played it 20 times or more and can't kill a single toon. ****????

I'm so close to abandoning the game. This is just another form of greed. They make it so insanely difficult you feel compelled to drop real money to gear up only to fail. EA has become the ruler of hell.

How is it greedy to give you an event that you beat so easily on the first day?

By not doing this event you're missing out on two mods that you were most likely going to sell off anyway because they didn't have a speed secondary. Stop being so dramatic and threatening to quit just because something wasn't a cakewalk two days in a row...

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.

Well said.
