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.

I only have a G12 Vader & Thrawn... I used IPD self-destruct to takeout the damage dealers. Very RNG but doable. EP & Tarkin G11 IPD G8

Thrawn, deathtrooper, tarkin, Vader, shore

Thrawn is g12, rest are g11

It works for me because tarkin does offense and crit chance down, really stops their damage.

This sounds like speculation and also not true. All I remember is that my EP would get blown up before he even got a turn. Now they have to hit Shore several times first and it's easier.

I would agree that the rewards are disproportionate to the effort often needed. However, I don’t again with nerfing the event.

If anything, improve the rewards. Even then...not a fan of doing that.

What exactly is your opinion?

Leave it alone or maybe give better rewards if the data shows that an abnormally low % of players can regularly complete mythic.

It all depends on RNG whether Ezra or Chopper clear Shore's taunt. If they do and spread the damage around, I use Thrawn's first turn to pass the buck back to Shore. He re-taunts and hands out Crit Immunity. Life is good. Palpatine shocks them all to death.

Mh, it's very easy for me using palp(g12), Vader(g12), DT(g11), Rangetrooper(g11)

Edit: i remember when it first was released and i didn't had rangetrooper i preferred Royal Guard over Shore, because he gains TM whenever an imperial Ally suffers damage

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:

You complete it. You're fine.
