Hello,
Badbatch sucks in the game at R8 level, even with 4 R9 and GL mods. Something needs to be done because I want to play the game and not play with my mods, nor buy a hotutils subscription.
It really feels like investing equipment into a team that is worthless because there is no balance. Tarkin can do max score with one clone, the other 3 clones do the same and the relic jedi are barely able to do level 0.
If you have 4/5 BB2 R9 already, just bite the bullet, R9 the whole team, and run it on Tier 7 with the super buffs BB2 get at max difficulty.
That's what I did, but it doesn't make the mechanic any less stupid. R8 shouldn't be harder than R9.
The raid buffs are structured to incentivize us to invest resources into raid team. Saying that R8 tier should be easier than R9 is like saying that a battle against an enemy's GAC team should be easier when your team is R8 than when it's R9. You increased your BB2's power by building up the relics and you are rewarded by being able to score higher easily.
This is not the case, as BBs have no modifiers between R5 and R9, making the fight increasingly difficult until it becomes easy at R9. So there is no reward for better relic level until r9.
So there is no reward for better relic level until r9.
Wait, WHAT? You get 1.2M pts for r5, 1.8M for r7, 2.7M for r8. Of course there are rewards for better relic tiers below r9.
As for difficuIty & QoL, I haven't taken BB to r8, but I understand it's worse than r7.
That said, r7 is easy with the right mods and r8 is certainly doable even if I am not the person to ask about the difficulty.
You are choosing to make it as difficult as possible by declining to remod. If that's how you play the game, that's fine, but I don't see why CG should provide an incentive for not remodding. As noted, they already reward higher relics with higher raid rewards. The ease with which you can burn through r9 is a QoL reward for maxing out your team.
This all seems well balanced to me.
