It’s about time that this gets dialed down a notch, or raise those junk rewards on par with the difficulty of that mission. The rng in that is all over the place. You can 3* it one day, then never win on another day.

I can’t wait for more events- as the rebel might and the assault battle of Jedi vs seps were the most challenging is over for me now. I will also say events from 2-1 day and lack of other events are a big part of the “no new content” discussion imo. But it’s nice to play mythic battles twice :)

All those resources just to get 1-2 pieces of gear and a couple regular mods isn’t on par with the difficulty of that mission. A lot of players complain about this mission and I actually think they are right.

I found this event a pain but changed tactics today and managed to beat it for the first time. Only Zeta was on EP leadThrawn G11Vader G12EP G12DT G12Shore G10Used Shore Trooper to soak up initial hits. Then Vader AOE. Then Thrawn passes turn meter to EP and AOE stun them. After that relatively straightforward to pick them offUsing Shore was key. He takes the attacks from the preloaded TM. Then the rest of the team are ready to go.

I find using any empire tank helps to get through it with less RNGAI seems to target them more often than not on the opening preloaded turnsFor instance, I use the team in the picnow thrawn is about 280 ish speed, but everyone else is less than 215can take a turn or two, but it works

It's nice to have some challenging events every now and then. Most of the mythics are pretty easy now. I think I use a different team every time because I don't bother to remember. Today I used zEP, DT, Shore, and Range, all g12 except g11 Range. First try, only lost Shore.

It's worth nothing that, and I'm not 100% sure of this but let's go with it, they actually made the event easier. Originally they all ignored taunt. Now if you bring Shore in they'll attack him until Ezra clears it. So you've got that going for you.

Actually they technically made it harder :p

It wasn't that they used to ignore taunt, it was that all of your characters started the battle with an invisible taunt that disappeared after being hit once. This would force the AI to spread the initial burst of damage around your team and make it easier to survive.

I wonder if Sabine's AoE is what changed that.... No idea.

It's not so much about how to "beat it". It is about the fact that you face 6 phoenix squad who are all zeta'd out and are loaded with at least 200% TM from the start. It is significantly RNG biased.

It can be done, but like the OP says, it sucks to go through all of that and you get lackluster rewards. Same as most mythic tiers where you get a whopping 2 omegas for finishing it, which can be time consuming. Because of the omega crunch and every new character that comes out needing 15, 20, 30, 50 omegas to max out, you can't not complete it. (even if this particular event doesn't get you omegas, which is really a what the heck moment.)

Oh and I use Thrawn, EP, Vader, DT, and Royal Guard to complete it.

I had been autoing this for a while so I stopped this morning to see how tough it was. I have to agree with TVF (ugh) on this one. Build the right team rather than adjusting the event. This team:

No problem:

It's my dream to have the resources, time, and reason to build my empire enough to beat last tier. M.E.G.A.!

i tried it once without palp, other than that i can't recall not clearing it on the first attempt.

Pretty much my experience. TBF I've always been fond of and had decent empire, though. I used the Thrawn double tank squad during the CLS meta.

All g12: Thrawn Palp Vader DT Tarkin. Been getting 3 stars for ages. Not even a challenge.

This is a good strategy. I use veers in place of tarkin. But Palpatine pretty much kills Ezra before you get a move. So kill him off first —> deathmark Sabine and she’s done too. Then kill kman

I tried using g11 veers in for tarkin, but he couldn't hang. Subbed in g12 Starck and got the win but it was rough. Tarkin seems best for me. I have him modded for high potency which makes him easily survive their intitial onslaught, and his debuffs help the whole team stay alive.

I’m opposite , g12 veers but my g10 tarkin couldn’t cut it. Yours sounds easier

Everyone complains that there's nothing to do until we have something to do and then they complain it's too hard or it should be able to be simmed.

I think people complain because they want new things to do... not old dumb things to do.

Point is that battle is annoying and the rewards are not worth the annoyance.

Change them, lower the difficulty or throw that sim on there.

I think Tarkin is an underrated support toon. Mine is only g10 but I still use him in GAC and TW all the time. One of these days I'll finish him, stupid stun gun holds me up.
