Secret and shadows event difficulty spike

If you're using all phoenix try to get kanan to attack sid before his first AoE if he applies offense down your squad has a chance to survive (either ezra's or hera's assist). Usually you can hold off the first AoE with Zeb's stagger or Sabine's stagger. Also use the event special especially with kanan applies taunt and gives everyone speed up. I have all g8 phoenix usually put my speed mods on zeb(170+) and sabine (200+). I can get by tier 2 but gave up on tier 3 today just took too much time and I hate waiting for the right rng to play out...already waste enough time on legendary events

Only way I've been able to beat Tier 2 is with good RNG and trying to time the turn meter when moving from round 3 into round 4. NEED Zeb or Sabine to go first, then preferably ezra or hera before sidious can make his move.

Zeb and Sabine can inflict stagger (or zeb daze, if he doesn't resist), then ezra or hera can call assists. The ideal move order for me is:

- Zeb stagger
- Sabine Armor Shred (trigger stagger TMR)
- Ezra extra TM attack
- Hera assist call Zeb to daze
- Ezra assist call Zeb to stun
- Sabine stagger after stun wears off
- Kanan offense down or taunt attacks (if taunt, Hera's next move must give him the buff)
- Zeb daze (trigger stagger TMR)
- Ezra extra TM attack
- Ezra assist call Zeb to stun
- Hera buff Kanan / assist call Ezra for damage (at this point, time to kill due to cooldowns on others)

No stun

Don't call Zeb for assists. Like Kodname said, you can't stun Sid, and daze is useless on him. I found Sabine is the best choice for called assists, because everyone else either does too little damage, or just can't connect (Ezra constantly whiffs on Sid due to his increased evade against Jedi). Otherwise, you're mostly on track.

No strategy here.

Chuck it on auto and the thousandth time sidious might not AOE everyone for 50k each.

Rubbish.

Hated it the first time, hate it now.

I call it the 'battery drainer' because it's a blatant RNG fest, and autoing it all day (because it's pointless to strategize) is the only way to go.

Wait until you reach tier 3. He is insane!

He AoE hit my team for over 30k each. I think everyone is g8 or g9 and well modded.

Stagger him. buff your protection right before it goes off. Put heras rez up on anyone knocked to low. I've beat all 3 tiers with g9 hera L g10 Ezra G8 chop zeb kan decent mods all basics and unquies omegaed 3rd teir is real tuff and will take a couple retries

He can't be stunned (cheese). Your best bet is using stagger from Zeb and Sabine in alternating fashion and protection up buffs on your weaker characters. Also, using Hera's special on your weakest right before the AOE drops.

I am using same G8 Phx/G10 Ezra for tier 2 that I used for Thrawn.

What I did was, I got a stagger (TM redux) to stick, and used Zeb’s and Kanan’s Prot Up on Hera (she always seems to be the consistent one-shot from his AOE), plus I got good RNG

Rng

A guild mate rearranged some of their best mods onto a G8 Phoenix team with GXI Asajj in the usual Sabine/Chopper spot and beat the bonus tier fairly easily.
