Thermal detonators in the First Order Galactic Challenge?

In hindsight the droids as opponents does seem more like a Jawa challenge as well, rather than a First Order one...

Just curious if this is intended or just another slipup?
As far as I recall you have always been able to get all the feats done for a challenge, as long as you have the right faction. I'm neither invested in Jawas or have the correct BHs and I was looking forward to a red chest but this won't be reachable now for me. In my opinion it's fine to throw in a niche challenge like Ewoks, Jawas and all the other non-meta factions but having faction-themed challenges whose feats are just random sucks.

i mean i dont know my resistance that well, but last GC they needed to do DoTs and none do that to my knowledge

I would argue that DoTs are a far more accessible feat as there are a multitude of factions and champions that inflict them. As for the thermals it's either Jawas, or a handful of Bountyhunters. I get it - BHs are the new thing, the whole conquest is BH themed but is it really necessary for every game mode to evolve around a certain faction?
We just had a Thermal Challenge 2 weeks ago.

Once again, the modifier only seems to affect the player and not the AI controlled team.

R7 Jango with full crit build hitting for 11k while K2SO hitting me for 30k+

I used and got the feat with first attempt. You don't need the faction for all feats, but to achieve max. crate

Galactic Challenges are designed to reward roster depth and/or theory crafting to achieve certain feats.

Those with wide rosters will red crate all (or almost all) challenges. Those with narrow rosters won't.

There's 2 of them every week, so over the long haul you still get a heap of material for free from them.

I do understand the principle of those challenges and the idea of roster depth. I would not consider my roster narrow either, I'm lacking certain factions to some degree yes, but you are missing my point I guess. I would not say that a feat that is limiting you to a handful of champs (Dengar, Zam, Greedo, Jawas) is considered "theory crafting".
If the theme for a challenge is First Order, why would I assume that I additionally need a very specific set of champs that also are shoved down our throat for Conquest. If you haven't geared them up for Conquest and can get better rewards there, at least give the people a break and let them get creative in the challenges.

Additionally I'm wondering about your definition of "free" stuff. If you consider the rewards you get from the challenges free, then per definition also the stuff from TB, TW and Raids is considered free and that I would say is not the case. Free stuff is the stuff you get just for logging in and don't have to do anything for in my book.

I did the thermal feat with them. Kill all until hk and kso stands alone. Zam and greedo place the bombs. Warning : its very rng.

Finally got the thermal detonator feat after a l9ng long battle using a g9 zam. Ran jkl lead wat thrawn zam plus 1 tank. I used jml as the tank as his ability block and cooldown reduction came in handy for reducing the chance of an aoe killing zam. I wish they could implement a counter for feat, having to keep track of the number of thermal detonator applied attempts in my head is irksome

Thanks bud, but I was not really looking for advice on how to get the feat done but I very much appreciate the effort. I got the gold chest myself and more I can't do with my roster. Using JML is creative and all, I only got SLKR myself and with him I can't really make it work.

My point being is that the thermal detonator feat is an extremely specific one that requires you to have the named characters geared which are also required for basically the whole of conquest if you want to reach those high chests. I'm not ranting about Conquest for that matter, if BHs is the theme for the next 3 months then so be it. But I honestly think there is no need to overload the whole game with just those few characters at the same time.
I obviously respect other opinions, I don't think I'm entitled to the max rewards every time but if you already require a specific thing (full FO), keep out other specific feats (thermals) and put in something you can get crafty with, with a variety of champs and not just the usual Conquest strategy: Hide the bad toons behind JML.

And for god's sake implement that feat-counter already.

Droids have +30% offence.

How would that affect your r7 Jango?

The globle modifier, the debuff one that gives everyone -50% offence with 10 stacks
