Training Droids disk in Conquest - What's it even for??

I know this is relatively random, but I really need somebody to answer this. I don't think it's a bug, but whenever I've tried it, all enemies refuse to fall below 1%, leading me to a stalemate. There are ways around this that I have tested, but it's more trivial than useful to me. For instance, I used my Darth Nihilus (R8) on a random battle after equipping the disk just to see if he could make it through, and although it worked, it took around 7 mins on 1x speed just to defeat a squad of 5 enemies. 

Disk Description:
F-34T Training Droids -  At the start of the battle, all enemies are inflicted with Tenacity Down until the end of the battle, which can't be dispelled or prevented, and are immune to Tenacity Up. Enemies can't have their health reduced below 1% while the enemy Leader is present, but can be instantly defeated.

See, what I don't get about this is that fact that, first,  the enemies you are fighting apparently do not have a leader. And I say this because I wasted all my Conquest energy just testing with it, defeating enemies at random to see if the others were defeat-able once their leader was gone, like the disk said. Well, I tested that starting with every possible target and nothing happened. And second, instantly defeating enemies takes FOREVER. Only some characters can do it (GLs, Nihilus, and a few other oddballs I forgot) so it isn't worth it to wait for ultimate charge or long cooldowns just to get the same rewards. It doesn't make sense to up the difficulty and time needed to finish and still get the same result. Is this disk just a joke by CG??

  • Read the disk description. It's literally called "FEAT". It's so your over powered character/disk combinations don't obliterate enemies so you can farm feats using less energy. That's why the only way to kill an enemy is with an instant defeat ability. It's actually extremely helpful and very player friendly.

  • The idea is that with Relic Delta, it is hard for some players to complete feats; they simply kill the opposition before they have the chance to apply buffs...debuffs.  So, with the training droids, high relic players don't have to worry about the opponents dying before they can complete the feats.

    It's a very ugly way of dealing with a problem that shouldn't have been a problem.

    I'm not sure I'm following you with the no leader thing. The leader should be clear on most team comps; they will certainly be first in the node description, and are usually placed in the center within the battle. Instakilling this person should allow the others to die.

    The OP did not understand the purpose of the disk and as usual CG's description leaves an area to question.  This phrase can be understood as you can kill the leader with an instant kill then others can die.  

    "Enemies can't have their health reduced below 1% while the enemy Leader is present, but can be instantly defeated".

    In reality, you don't want to use the disk if you need to win the battle; you don't want to kill any enemy.  Just use it to farm feats on mid and sector boss battles where you have 10 minutes to auto an enemy that cannot resist debuffs and won't go below 1% health unless you use one of the few toons that can instantly defeat.

  • I didn’t use it at all in the previous series of Conquests (Satele Shan), but for this set I had got to 616 banners without completing the 40 Fracture feat in s5. 

    I put the Feat disk on, sent Leia Organa and Co into the sector 5 mid-boss, pressed auto and got all 40 fractures in one battle.

    This would have been handy before relic delta for feats like that.

    In principle, I'd refuse to do this.  I'd rather farm the bonus node 40 times.  However, I found the bonus node on Sector 5 impossible to farm for these feats this time.  The Stella team is just too awkward and difficult.

    So, I'd probably save more energy doing this and sticking Han in the team and getting the Evasion up feat too.  

    Principles or saving energy hmmmm.  That being said, as this Conquest was quite painless, I wouldn't need both feats, possibly either anyway!
