For those of you who are wondering how well Tarkin stands against the snarling beast, I can proudly say he can hold his own. After just using him in phase IV, on my C squad, it's because of him that I was able to inflict more damage than my A team. Offence down worked 100% of the time, and TM reduction worked about 60% of the time. That, combined with RG speed down and QGJ game changing TM reduction(thanks for the advice @qeltar), I was getting multiple turns before the rancor could take one. In addition to TM reduction and offense down, his basic damage bonus easily gave him the highest numbers, hitting on average of 5-6k per strike.

What was the tier level of your raid ?

Nice, farming him up right now. Getting excited for my empire team

I think many people are concerned that at tier 6 his potency will be too low to reliably apply his offense down, which would have been his most useful ability since rancor does a lot more damage. I've seen him crit for 13k on his aoe, which usually reduces your squad members bellow 50% and therefor reduces cd of devour. This is therefor a huge problem, one best solved by Yoda with Forsight and battle meditation or by getting offense down on the rancor before its aoe. I'm currently using Poe who has 40% potency, and I'm seeing it get resisted way too often. I think Tarkin only has a max potency of 27%.

We tried, but only 60 percent of us could participate, and only three of us did any real damage. But even then, I was only getting ~200k between 5 battles. I'm hoping they address the potency issue by the time we try it again. Unless they don't see it as an issue...

Would love some feedback on t6. T5 generally seems to have pretty lax resistance numbers. Oh and Qeltar has left the forum's unfortunately. But he's still over at Reddit.

That's unfortunate to hear. He was a very helpful member, and well respected.

I was lucky to get Tarkin to 6 stars back when he was exclusive. Just finished farming him in arena. Glad to see he's coming into his own.
