The first time this event was released I was able to finish it, though with just one star. After a few months, of course, my imperials definitely got better (all gear 12 with very good mods and zetas). However, now I can barely manage to kill one or two rebels before they crush me. In one of the several try that had phoenix took 6 turns before I was able to take a single move!! My vader is 300 in speed against rebel and never had a move!! The last time this event was out it wasn't so.I kindly ask to @CG_SCrumb why devs increased the difficulty of an already extremely challenging event. Was it made on purpose?? Furthermore, I can't see any viable option being my team already maxed out.

Also, why can Sabine ignore my shoretrooper's taunt on the first move? I thought I was going to face a PS squad with a similar kit to what mine is, but apparently, Sabine has developed a Nest-like ability to ignore taunt. Didn't matter in the end, because they all had 400 speed and preloaded TM, 6-dot mods with crit chance and crit damage through the roof. Honestly, there is a difference between a "challenge" and making us run a race AFTER cutting our legs off.

Lol, y’all did something different, The event hasn’t changed lol.

@GhostTruckin, I'm with the same team I used when I made it: Thrawn(L, forced), Vader, Palp, Tarkin and TP. Since last time I improved all of these toons and now I'm not even close to get it. If the event hasn't changed since then there is something really really weird going on...

Image of proof that they're ignoring taunts. Fresh run(you can tell nobody's gone yet because Phoenix still has full health/protection)

@Spang, thanks that looks really helpful, I'm trying different lineups and getting closer.

Thrawn Mythic Tier III difficulty increased???

You got lucky first time thru, that’s my suspicion, I use shore in place of tie, just went and walked thru it again, lost shore cuz I was getting cute with Kanan before I dropped Sabine and Ezra. It’s easy to walk thru, and I don’t think that the event has changed in the slightest.

As for your difficulties, you could have had a bad run, tie is not ideal imo , And yes they get a couple preloaded tm turns, . . It’s not that big of a deal. And it still went down easy as all get out. Even losing shore. So I suggest reviewing your squad, your mods, and Mebbe your comp. the event itself plays as unchanged .

There's no point man, I took out shoretrooper because it's not gear 12 and it get killed in two shots by sabine and ezra, pretty useless. In this last round palpatine was one shot for ezra, there is something wrong compared to the last time. Also Vader does not recover health when DoT expires.

I still say that shore is your best bet, and you might want to try even just swapping positions, I’ve heard that can help, personally I just played thru, but that may help you out.

There is something wrong. Sabine completely ignores taunt, vader do not recover health when DoT expires (this happened multiple times), moreover sometimes shoretrooper does not even start with taunt. I think devs made it harder because they added the extra gear xii pieces in the sith raid. Ah, also Zeb ignores taunt, what a joke.

No, you are missing my point. ALL of them ignore taunt. Played it 15 times now and Sabine armor shreds whomever she wants (random), Zeb staggers someone, Ezra flourish someone. All of these things are happening to whomever they want, regardless of shoretrooper's taunt. They also gain massive TM while thrawn's leadership is useless. Once I do get a turn, they get all the counters and even more TM. It's stupid, not a challenge. What's the point if the strategy is "have everyone g12 and god mods"?

All your toons have an invisible taunt at the start of the battle to spread the damage from pheonix

I did it with a G10 Shoretrooper + Thrawn, Vader, EP, Stormtrooper (all G12), all of them survived. Double tank helps.

I was surprised with the Phoenix team ignoring taunt. Having to fight a team starting with full TM is usual business with these events but, to my knowledge, they don't get extra abilities. That seems like a bug to me. Not that it would change anything in the outcome of this fight, my Empire team is g11 at most so it's gonna die anyway...

I see no difference from last time honestly. The opening volley is the advantage they get to make the event Mythic hard. Yes, they get to do stuff they normally can't. But it's very possible to beat. Once you survive the beginning, it's just like every other battle. High gear levels and good mods will aid you in surviving.

They ignored taunt last time the event run as well, thisisn’t a bug, it is part of the event’s game mechanics. For most ppl that is a good thing too because with all their pre-loaded tm they would kill off tanks pretty fast if the attacks weren’t distributed on several targets.

The difficulty seems to be the same to me.
