Hey gang, just discovered something very interesting, and a quick search of the forums didn't pull up anything indicating this was a known strategy, so I figured I should bring it to the attention of other players ASAP.I just got Jango to 7 stars, and to celebrate I fiddled around with him again in the Sith Raid. My clan is on Tier VI, Phase 3 at the moment so I threw him at Traya with Boba, Zam, Cad Bane, and IG-88. I noticed something about a minute in, then retreated and restarted to confirm. Jango's leader ability prevents burning enemies from gaining bonus turn meter. As it turns out, that INCLUDES Traya at the end of a topple. So her lightsabers respawn and attack like normal after the topple, but she does not. This effectively makes it possible to DOUBLE the number of times you can topple her. Combined with the increasing crit damage for BH's, you can ramp up your damage a ton by the end of the run. I did over 9 million damage during this attempt.I don't know what characters are the absolute best for this, but IG-88 is a must since he can reduce enemy Tenacity further with critical hits once you get the contract bonus. If you have Boba on your team, you also definitely don't want to use Execute on Traya, as you'll dispel the burn. I'm thinking throwing Aurra into this team could significantly boost the overall damage since so much time is spent with Traya toppled.I highly recommend other players try this out and see if they can find an ideal BH combination for it. It seems like Jango may have just taken the mantle for best BH leader in the raid if this continues to work.

Jango leadership nerf incoming.

Those two combined can easily counter her Tenacity bonuses. On my attempt this morning, I was still successfully applying burns through to the end of the fight, with only a couple around the middle of the fight that didn't stick. She ended up getting one turn about five topples in, but that was it until Enrage.Potency on Jango is definitely important to help guarantee the burns, but between him and 88 (not to mention the starting Tenacity reduction from his leader ability), Traya is susceptible to debuffs through pretty much the entire battle.

Someone on YouTube brought up this thread that I had completely forgotten about. This got dismissed because a few people tried it and said the mechanic didn’t work on heroic. Turns out it does. I’m sorry for bumping a 9 month old thread but I wanted the OP to get some credit for actually discovering this before I did. https://youtu.be/mz33HX2cg4E

That'll work once or twice, but her stacking tenacity will likely prevent burning from sticking after a couple topples, even with Jango's lead.Still, neat trick for getting a bit of extra mileage out of the bounty hunters.

New Jango leader strategy on Sith Phase 3!

Tenacity in STR gets reset when the boss takes a turn. It doesn't stack to infinity.

Traya also gains permanent tenacity every time you kill a saber.

The tenacity bonus from saber deaths does stack. So she essentially stacks 30% each topple.

Stack up crit damage from killing sabres then do a variation of Flaming Hot Greedo:

Taunt with Bossk - Grant offense up to Greedo.

Fire away in stand alone after a bunch of turns. Save Greedo's stand alone until later in the battle. Use someone else earlier if needed.

Definitely a bit worried that this will turn out to be a bug. Would suck if they fix it, especially since Jango otherwise doesn't have much special going for him in any of the raids.
