[Vid] haat p4 zader new strategy

Nice...how many of those saber throws were crits? I have seen that your Vader has 40% crit chance in your collection...maybe if you somehow managed to use Advantage on Vader to guarantee each saber throw to be crit, you could have done the whole phase...

That's the point. R2 offers additional 10% crit. You get better results with a counter attacking thrawn than with a Vader who does a guaranteed crit. With smoke screen on Vader my best run was 6.6mio and not 9.1mio (which could be also almost 11mio with better plays in the end). My plan was, to give Vader advantage in the last topple and of course use shaman heal for the offence up. But it went wrong. Think, that could have done more than 15% with the last throw.

Very nice run

I reached a new record.

Did anybody else give it a try?

I gave this a try and it works really well. I was unable to get a score like that, best I managed was around 6.6 million.

What’s your strat for that huge run? Congrats btw, that’s awesome :)

This try was Really good, because I got vaders aoe rdy after each topple and was mostly able to kill all canons before the main canon shots.
It all depends on topples. The more you get, the more will be your dmg output.
Usually I do a 7.5mio score without any retreats (because raid goes down very fast), but If I am lucky enough and not lazy I can get even further.

Btw, don't hesitate to use shaman heal (especially for offense up) for killing the side and top canon faster. Do everything to get as many topples as you can!

Do you always try to fracture the tank as late as possible so you have more time with the tank fractured out of topple?

Did you move any mods around for this run or was it all the same? Cause I can mod exactly the same or make everyone faster but still not getting the same results.

Would you say speed/offence/crit chance/crit damage is more important on Vader? Also are you trying to sync up offence up with your culling blade?

Yes, fracture as late as possible. I improved the speed since my first post and currently moving mods from my cls(arena) to Vader for that purpose.
Thrawn 266
R2 255
Sid 233
Vader 213
Shaman 181

I would like to speed up sid a bit, because then all of hit exposes get triggered by r2, but that's not highly necessary.
With the above speed I fracture the tank between 75 - 99% tm. That's also the usual range for the smoke screen use. Keep in mind: you have to use the smoke screen as late as possible. The longer thrawn is the only visible toon to the enemies, the more he will counter attack.
My Vader has a accumulated crit chance of round about 50%, so it's a coinflip if his culling blade Crist or not. But that doesn't really matter. Yesterday I removed over 6% of the tank with one blade... non-crit. The dots dealt round about 2% per tick. Like I said, it's important to stretch the fight as long as possible.
You have a zeta on sid? That's an huge improvement for this type of fight.

Last but not least, give your Vader a noticeable speed value. It should be over 200. If you can get >40% cc with one cc set, than go for the CD. Keep in mind, r2 offers 10% cc for every member.
I use one cc and one CD set, have CD on the triangle and potency on my cross.

How R2 zeta helps that team? It has no effect on them.

Sry, misread it. It just make him a bit tankier. It isn't much. That's why I tagged it as "nice2have"

EDIT:
Oh, you are right. Zeta just adds value for other units. So, it´s really unnecessary ;)
