Teir 4 - Special Op 3 strategy?

Best team:
EP (L)
Vader
TFP
Boba
B2/GeoSpy

I can't recall losing more than 10k protection throughout the whole tier 4 but to be fair, I used G10/G11 7* toons (except B2 at G9 and 5*) with good speed mods.

I had Boba (L), 88, Phasma, and a couple others. I think Vader and Raid Han. They were just the ones that showed up when I opened the challenge. I was going to try EP if that didn't work, but I got through without losing anyone. 88's AOE under Boba can work wonders, and Boba's Execute is good for finishing off the hard-to-kill rebels.

Jyn does rez characters. Had them all down but her and K2 and she rezzed Baze who of course killed everyone.

I was able to take it down with the following:

EP - Rank 7 | G9 | 80

DV - Rank 7 | G9 | 80

BF - Rank 7 | G9 | 85

Ventress - Rank 7 | G8 | 74

Phasma - Rank 7 | G8 | 70


First round - use Ventress to strip the taunts, drop skill block with BF and Vadar on Scarif Rebels while focusing DPS on Bistan and the other thing. Once all opposing DPS are dead, focus fire the tanks down.

Second round - I got a little lucky, Ventress up first and stripped all the buffs. Next was BF to drop skill block goodness across the land, then Phasma to gain turn meter and advantage which brought palp up to drop a stun followed by DD to Baze. From there vadar killed Baze with crush / saber combo followed by another attack on cassian to skill block. Execute on on Chieure (Spelled terribly) at which point I lost both Ventress and Phasma.

From there, I targeted Cassian then K2 then Jyn. I got lucky on stuns and a deathblow by BF that reset his special ability but it got the job done.

Yeah, Ventress won me too. Debuffed - Aoe - then stunned with a single hit. She died, but it was enough.

The new event is terrifyingly easy, the rebels don't even have protection on the last level. I really hope they didn't nerf it because of the complaints about the last one

I'm surprised it took so long for anyone to mention the Nightsisters, Ventress in particular. In stage 2, all you need to do is debuff Baze (and everyone else) with Ventress and then stun Jyn with Daka (or Ventress when it's her turn again). Then it's just slogging through the HP. I actually don't have Daka so I used Tusken Raider instead, just for fun. Sadly, my underpowered squad could only do Tier 1-3, but I could see a better prepared set of Nightsisters owning this event.

Instead I went with First Order for Tier 4. Not my best squad, but this was a great chance to try them out after their second rework. Kylo stunned Jyn to prevent revivals, FOTP donkey punched Baze. But I did end up losing FOST in round 2 because the AI hates FOST and gave him a beating in round 1.

Probably because most people don't have good enough nightsisters for the last tier. And if they do have Nightsisters at decent gear levels probably only daka and ventress. (Personally I don't have Daka either and ventress is only g7 or g8). Empire is just the best for control, but if you have a slower empire team, the anti-empire abilities of Chirrut and Baze will prove problematic.
I know a lot of people probably don't have a high star/gear Maul yet other than whales, but I had him in there at g8 and he was a huge reason it was so easy for me. Sure, the rest of my team is was g10 other than Vader at g11, but AOE daze stops Chirrut from countering (After maul's turn because it's still bugged) which will stop him from healthstealing after every time you hit him and stop him from assisting baze if Baze ends up getting a turn. Other than that Boba was able to ability block Jyn and Chirrut and Cassian which makes them a lot less dangerous especially when they're dazed as well. After that, the team isn't hard to beat, you just need to make sure you can deal some damage. TFP under a EP lead is great in this part because he'll gain lots of TM and help you take baze out of the picture. Vader and EP didn't really do all that much other than add to the damage in the last fight for me (only got 1 stun in, but everyone was already ability blocked so it didn't make a huge difference.)

This game's junk. Had jyn down to one last hit. Can't get it. I despise the way this game is designed. The event difficulties are all based around having those strong characters. If you farmed the wrong ones, you're hosed. It wouldn't be a big deal if the events varied but it's always been droids and rebels, you can cover any light and dark side event. You have characters that used to be good, tough luck. No variety. same tedious grind for the same characters. you can't experiment or try things without blowing tons of resources and if it doesn't pan out...

Anyway...just venting my frustrations. Bring balance to the force!!!

I have exactly two droids: K-2SO and a 3* IG-86. Boba was my star here.

Personally I think it's great they have an event for an Empire toon that gave advantage to people who actually invested in Empire.
