Vader Zeta + Magmatrooper + Friends Solo ENTIRE Rancor!

So I know the Rancor raid is nothing too new and a lot of people know of the best squads to use but I figured I share this video with you guys who are maybe still with the mindset that Teebo is the best leader, looking to learn more about Vader's zeta, or are looking for something fun to do.

I shared a video awhile ago about Magmatrooper being a really interesting character in arena to counter TFP and to remove loads of turn meter under Vader's zeta. Today we show Vader's Zeta with Magmatrooper, Sidious, TFP, and Rex soloing the whole Heroic Rancor! We went through P2-P4 without taking a single hit! (I know there are rumors about the Rancor being bugged right now with Zader and only noticed two instances where it happened after making this video).

Hope you enjoy the video!

  • For some reason I'm having a lot of trouble with this. Zader, Sid, Tfp, QGJ, EP. All g11 with at least 180 speed. TFP has ~220, Sid has ~210, QGJ ~180, Zader ~180, EP ~190. Started at the beginning of phase 2, got about a quarter of the way through before he started attacking and stunning. Maybe a Rex would help as well.

    Nice job though. Always impressive.

    Yeah so many ways to go ahead and solo the Rancor with Zader. I was using Palpatine originally but switch him out for Rex just for more consistent TM removal.

    Glad you enjoyed the video! Personally, I would take QGJ out and toss in Rex just for a lot more consistency in TM removal. EP is great as well for the offense up (which can remove TM from the enemy under Zader) and his basic removes TM under Zader. I was using him for awhile alongside Tarkin ended up putting Rex and Magmatrooper in their place because I was seeing more and consistent TM removal.
  • I've always been tempted to finish farming Magma but never really seen him used anywhere.
  • My Magma is only g8 (Don't wanna put those last two mk 3 holoprojectors on him as I need them elsewhere), would he be viable at g8 with enough speed? Tenacity down makes his potency less of a problem and I have TFP at g11.

    Same goes for Rex, I just recently got him so he's still at g8 missing a furnace and a set of stun cuffs.

    How much speed do Magma and Rex get from being g9/g10/g11? Would I be able to just toss some better speed mods on them and have this work?

    Another question: Would Dooku work in here or not? He's faster than Sid, but doesn't have the DoTs to back up Zader, but could potentially remove more TM, but just make for a slower solo time-wise. He doesn't have any health steal though, so I'd have to make sure the rest of the team would be able to keep TM down so no one is getting hit.
  • Cheers for the Magmatrooper tip, Ahnald. P1 is a challenge but provided you make it through unscathed, the Rancor won't lay a finger on you. The first solo I did had MagmaT at G7 with protection <5k.

    Speed and potency mods used mainly on Magma, Sid and Zader. Speed and cc on FTP. Speeds were 190 Zader, 260 FTP, 200 SID and EP, 180 on Magma.
  • I just soloed the rancor with the same team as @Jedi_of_Oz - a g7 Magmatrooper as well. Except I didn't have any decent mods - so MT was about 125 speed.

    The rancor is completely broken once you get into p2 - it is impossible to lose with a zader team.
