Secret and shadows event difficulty spike

I used a combination of Old Daka L, Ventress, Acolyte, Hera and Ezra. The plan was to put backup plan on Daka before Nihilius and Sidious used their special attacks. That way Daka would auto-rez and could continue to rez everyone else but she never actually got killed. I did learn that Nihilius annihilate doesn't kill toons permanently so that part was really easy. Just have your non-Daka NS toons use the free taunt they give you for the mission and then when Nihilius offs them you can rez them with Daka. The timer on the taunt should run by the time Nihilius is ready to annihilate someone again. Make sure you put backup plan on Daka when you aren't taunting in case he annihilates her.

All toons except Acolyte were 7*. Assaj and Daka were G11, the rest were G10. The only real essential toons are Daka and Hera so make sure they have high speed mods. Next time around I'll probably replace Ezra with Talia so that she can remove the debuffs Sidious leaves after his special. Hope this helps.

Answer, use NS. Get daka(and thus zombie) to survive. Res whole team. Stack plague. Win.

I’m not buying that Sidious uses his AoE on successive turns. He usually uses it first turn and then individual attack on second turn, but there are times he uses individual attack first.

Either way I’d be astounded if you could avoid him using his AoE at least twice. The strategy is to be as well set up as possible for when he does.

I've seen him do them back to back and it's not survivable. When that happens just reroll for better rng.

With NS he only gets to do it once.
