Ok, after trying to get a 7* Padmé for 3 long days now (and closely observing the pattern to my best abilities) I have to say that:I think we will never see a team like that owned by actual players. This Padmé team is so over the top artificially hyped up that it can only be explained by mod and gear levels only the 0.001% might be able to obtain.Additionally it is extremely RNG dependent.Why do I come to that conclusion. The mechanics are chaotic at best. One time Padmé (without buff) kicks a solid toon for 45k damage and other times debuffs are not only immediately dispelled, but turn into buffs. Not even mentioning the 100% turn meter gains.So unless you have paid for the new Droideka you have to participate in the lottery. And that is extremely frustrating. It’s completely RNG dependent. In ways I’ve never seen before in this game. Meaning: it’s not a question of which effects might or might not be triggered by an action. No, your success is dependent on how Padmé slept today and if JKA feels like instakilling your GG by doing 70k damage or just tickle him for 12k.So people don’t tell me that you got Padmé 7* with this or that team. Because the truth is: it doesn’t matter. Maybe you got lucky. Good for you. But another guy has 500 tries with the same team already and didn’t get lucky.I guess this is where we bury strategy and say “Hello” to gambling.Rant over.

I want fish-face. Dude has tenacity of about 3000%, one shotted a full health g12+3 Vent and can rez.

It helps to know the kits you're dealing with. GK cleanses debuffs and turns them into the opposite buff. Padme and Anakin gain bonus turns, which is an immediate turn....has nothing to do with TM (which is why TM manipulation and speed can't prevent their bonus turns)."Nikoms565;c-1856239" wrote:I want fish-face.

He's in the game....he's called Jolee, albeit it he has a 3 turn cooldown on his rez unlike Jolee's 5 turn cooldown. Otherwise it's the same kit....and Jolee has +100% tenacity on his unique so the Mon Calamari guy probably has that too.

F2P player here. I got 7 star padme after sacrificing a goat. I could tell y'all you have to get better but instead I agree with OP. RNG went my way.

I wanted a 7* Padmé... but then I realized that her mechanic was even more annoying than Jedi Knight Revan’s main squad... and I realized I had Malak... and I found out that Empire is a Hard counter.So I’m good with a 5* unlock. I’ll let my Seps level up naturally and finish off Malak and a few others. No rush.

It also wouldn’t surprise me if they make her a requirement for a hero’s event.

Well duh. This is PVE. You may as well be kvetching that players will never get to have the Rancor on their team with his several million HP and Devour.

It is luck. You managed to keep BI on GK which let you focus down Jolee and take a cool screenshot of a big boom.

Not really with 130% potency

Jolee and his 300% tenacity laugh at your 130% potency. And I know that he does, because I was running B2 with 130% potency as well, and it took hours to get a run where BI was on GK at that point in the event.

You don't want it to be luck, because you feel that takes away from your achievement. But it's 100% luck.

My B2 has over 150% potency. Still not as lucky as you.

You can believe that. But never did I more then 20 attempts at any event. My luck is unreal.

Can't really equate other events to this event, especially since they all require drastically different gear levels and team compositions. But I know (not believe, know without a doubt) from your screenshot that it's luck.

The only circumstance in which the Padme event is not luck is if you have a full g12.5, 6E modded Sep Droid team. Then you do it in 4 attempts, which is about how long it takes to figure the event out. 20 attempts, while good luck, is still luck.

In PVE, is there still always 15% chance of landing a debuff despite any level of tenacity? Or am I getting my mechanics messed up

You got it backward, there's always a 15% chance for the debuff(s) to be resisted. :)
