I have a question: should i be worried when my G12 all Zeta Thrawn, EP, Vader, Veers and DT squad gets absolutely destroyed by Hera and company? And where's the fun in that?

'challenge'.Come on Kyno it's not a challenge to continually roll the same set of dice hoping to hit five '6's.When I eventually do get my five '6's its not going to make me feel like I've accomplished or achieved anything.

I can kill 1 or 2I don’t have Shoretrooper and I’ve not Geared up Stormtrooper yet.Is it possible if I move all my Arena speed mods across? I’d go from +70/75 speed to about +100If +100 is still unlikely to get it done I’d rather save the credits ;)Doesn’t matter if you have shoretrooper or not. They ignore taunt and when they crit 19k 97% ofthe time, it doesn’t matter. Just keep hitting that retreat button until you get decent RNG(thank the developers).

The truth of this event is, there is no strategy required. There is no careful planning of your teams, etc. You start off at a massive disadvantage with them Bypassing shore troopers taunt every time. If you are lucky enough to survive the onslaught and have all 5 up at the end they you have a chance.That being said, this event is only a challange because of the massive rng involved. Took me 25 tries but I finally got it at three stars use ep and Vader (zetas on lead so useless) shore trooper and imp guard (double taunt helps after the initial onslaught)Kyno, there is no since in defending the Devs on this one honestly, there is no strategy in this event, its either rng is on your side and you get lucky, or you don't. If the event was designed in a way where careful strategy was required and we where still getting beat down, that's another thing entirely.The amount of times that I would instantly loose 2 of 5 was mind numbingly painful.. Why sneak a mechanic in where they just ignore taunt entirely off the start for no reason.

I believe its designed to force you to use shoretrooper at high gear. I havent seen anyone who cleared tier 3 of the mythic without his pretaunt.

That's the problem! Having to rely on him to beat Tier 3 and not many players have him on 7* myself included. He is rather hard to farm!

Swap in Shore for Veers. Hit auto.Profit.

And yes, it's really that simple.

ETA : I run DN in stead of Tarkin as well.

Most think shore is among one of the best empire toons.

Also "my best" and "the best" mods are 2 different things.

This is a new event and as many suspect, there is "something coming" in the "near future" that will make things easier, so this event could have been designed for what would be "high end" now and will be an easy walk next time it comes around. We dont know.

From the road ahead post he is likely referring to two more gear xii pieces for each character.

Possibly 6 dot and 7 dot mods.

These are the likely suspects right now. Level cap mixed in there too, but who knows what this year will bring.
