Mythic R2-D2, Strategy/Issues [MERGE]

Preview for when Vader's force crush gets a zeta update.

Hey guys, I just wanted to share something that worked for me in tier 3. It took a bunch of tries but eventually came though. I was able to 2* it and possibly could have gotten 3* if I had not made an error. I was having a lot of problems with this event since I don't have any geared cleansers like Ackbar and Chirrut.

I was using Wedge (g11), Biggs (g11), R2 (g12), Old Ben (g11), and Leia (g11) to start and was getting clobbered EVERY time.

I swapped out Leia for Jyn (g11). Then I played it over and over until TFP didn't land buff immunity on everyone except Old Ben and for both the Stormtroopers to taunt on their first turn (sometimes only one taunts the first time, which gives them an extra turn of protection). That allowed me to use stealth everyone with R2 except Old Ben and let him take the beating. I actually tried to hold on on using Old Ben's Mind Tricks because the TM removal from the Stormtroopers would only make their taunts last longer. Ben would die, which gave everyone on the squad a huge health/protection boost. Then Jyn revives Old Ben (he came back at full health since Jyn has 6 targets on which to crit). By that time the Stormtroopers had finished their taunts, and the revived Old Ben was able to use his Mind Tricks to get rid of all their TM and stop their special abilities, and then taunt. It was actually fairly easy after that. Be sure to use R2 and Jyn to control Tarkin/Vader/TFP with stun. I killed Tarkin, TFP, Vader, then the Stormtroopers taunted again so they were next, then the Scout. If I had been paying attention, I would have used Jyn's special again and brought Ben back and gotten 3*. But of course I didn't cause I'm thick like that lol.

I hope that helps people who are having trouble. This event was giving me huge headaches because I don't have CLS, a 7* Raid Han, or a 7* Chaze. But this combo worked great for my both days...

So the entire enemy team gets to go before Han, AND his zeta wasnt working. Only hitting once with his basic.

Yeah and when he did finally get his turn, no stun.

Yup, and since when did Vader inflict daze and expose? Total BS by the developers there.

I was really looking forward to it being Zader

Got through the first two tiers fine but t3 Vader is using force crush back to back so where's the cool down at?

I'm definitely under geared for it but haven't seen anything about zero cool down, was BB-8 mythic t3 the same?

Are you getting Vader using force crush with no cool down? Seems to be some rules at play that aren't stated or at least I haven't found

The event toons always have the possibility of being altered by the developers, Vader was definitely different than normal.

It excited me until I remembered my Zader can't do it.

When do we get THAT Vader? An extra zeta upgrade on him please.

I managed to beat it purely using CLS. Everyone else got destroyed.
