Please please please give us more events that are tuned to the difficulty of places of power assault battle tier 2. I only have r5 drevan and r3 bad bastilla, the rest are all g12 (not even g12+) and my mods are subpar. But the difficulty level of tier 2 was perfectly tuned. It was a great balance of difficult but not punch a wall frustratingly difficult. It wasn’t easy but I had to strategize and take my time. It also only took a few minutes because I was taking my time. I am usually negative with my post so I will include the rewards kind of suck for tier 2. But I do feel it’s necessary to give credit where credit is due. 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

..and let's hope the tuning stays as it is.

I agree. It's important to display our displeasure with CG when they deserve it but at the same time it's important to praise them when they do something good.?

There's another event that will have the extra challenges in "Secrets and Shadows: Assault Battles," if you look in the rewards and you'll see XII finishers and relic materials got included as well. I doubt I'll manage to finish the mythic and challenge 1 easily as my Nightsisters and Phoenix teams aren't geared up that much, with zero zetas applied.

It's not tuned correctly in relationships to the other two... Was easily cheesed.G11 zEp(L), G11 zSion, G11 nihilus (the star), r4 DR, and r3 bsf essentially auto'd the event. It's hide a nihilus event. With his stacking health, he probably had 1 million by wave 8. Ep died in wave 2 or 3, Sion kept getting held by hatred revived (until wave 8 but by then no way anything was killing nihilus). This is a cheese type technique I agree, but it made it super easy.

Supposedly it's tuned for R5, if you believe the notes in game. I think it's reasonable that some would be doable with significantly less gear, but the best characters and good strategy (like this one). I did it first try with R2 DR/DBast, R1 Malak, G12+ EP/Vader (EP lead of course).

On the other hand, I think it's fair that some really do need more gear. The Ewok tier 2, for example, was near impossible with just a couple R5s (such as B1/B2). But if there was R5 Magna also, it became doable. Same with Rebels - very hard with G12 BH + low relic Bossk. But a squad that was all low relic could reasonably handle it.

Yeah, in truth it's not actually tuned correctly... I completed with pal(l) (g12) sion (g12) revan (r2) bastilla (g12) and traya (g12) with not so good mods and this was easy - finished with everyone full protection bar pal who was down to 1/4 protection... its great I got the stuff. But you cant say its tuned perfectly when it suggest relic 3 needed.

Yeah this wasn't tuned "perfectly", you just think it was perfect because you completed it. I completed it with 2 G12s, 2 G11s, and a G9. While I'm glad I got the mats, I don't think that's "perfectly tuned". I haven't invested in Sith since JKR outside of sith empire, and even then, I didn't invest much because I went full GR for padme and negotiator. Hopefully no one dropped gear on Sith thinking they needed to, or else that would be a real... slap in the face.

On the opposite side of the coin, though, I've heard some complaints from relic FO users that didn't find it very easy. So maybe it's tuned "correctly" if you don't have sith, but I don't know who that is at this point.

DN's health stacks "until the end of the encounter". Each wave is an encounter, his health resets each wave. Contrast this with abilities that last "until the end of battle", such as Young Han unique or Shaak 2nd special. Those persist through waves.
