Tier 2 relic requirements

Ive seen on here people saying you can compete tier 2 with only GK relic’d and the others at gear 12. But it seems like sometime cg made it harder? I have relic 5 GK, Shaak to, and 3po, zzgear 12 padme and z gear 12 Ashoka. I have +192 speed on padme and +160 ish speed on the others, but I can’t seem to get close. I’ve watched guides, I take out b2, then a magma droid and then try and take out a droideka, but I still can’t seem to get close.

Do I need to relic padme and or Ashoka now? Is this due to some change cg made awhile ago?
