Thoughts on jabba the hutt

So I finally got jabba to relic 3 after a strenuous several weeks of gearing him up and despite his efficiency with bounty hunters I find he is not as effective as other galactic legends. His support role seems like a waste of potential as he lacks the survivability of other gls. His overdependency on his allies leaves him vulnerable when he is the last slug standing but since he was better at issuing orders in the movies than he was in a fight this is understandable. And the fact his event was very easy for being a galactic legend I can give him a decent pass. Sadly he doesnt seem to function well enough to be put to good use unless he absolutely requires his unique ability to be unlocked because I havent been able to clear the smugglers run 2 event at all and he is horrible in squad arena even though I'm not concerned about that.

    Try adding a defense datacron to Jabba, but he should be a priority for R8 and Krssantan for R9.

    SR2 is a royal pain even at relic 5. Do some searching on this forum for a few strategies - it's come up often. Having Embo on the squad helps a lot to get around the taunts. Kill Range troopers first, Scout troopers second. Make sure you have ult ready going into wave 3 and use it on one of the death troopers, then kill the other death troooper ASAP. Also, I only use jabbas basic on the first wave because it helps Krrsantan survive the absurd number of attacks that he has to soak. My team is Jabba, Embo, Krr, Boushh, Lando.


    Passed SR2 with my G11 jabba.
  • Covert coordination on krrsantan is the key. This is the team i passed SR2:

    Jabba G11, skiff lando R5, boushhh R5, krrsantan R5, mob enforcer R3.

    I think I managed it once or twice before I got relics on Jabba and his ult. I'm sure there's lots of comps that will work - My advice comes from months of trying different teams and strategies without Embo and I can tell you it's by far the most consistent team that I came up with. I've never failed the mission with Embo there. Lots of restarts without him - and ain't nobody got time for that. Of course, YMMV.

    My experience with Chewie is that there’s a small loss window in the beginning but that it is by far the fastest team comp. If you loose any toon before contract (for me that happens maybe 20% of the time) then restart, if not then the run is very fast due to Chewies very high damage output.


    I did this same team by accident. It loaded Chewie in and I just pressed battle before realizing it, then pressed auto and a couple minutes later it was done. It does fail from time to time, but I just restart and it's over fairly quickly.

    I'm guessing yours was a similar discovery? lol
  • Everyone who is saying they are using Jabba not as a relic in SR2 are full of it considering the minimum requirements is that Jabba is at least R3. You can’t play it unless he is at least at that level.

    "full of it" and "didn't remember that correctly" might have a little distance between them.

    It definitely says it requires Relic 3 - but I definitely remember using Jabba before he was at relics - must have been a different event.
