I'm usually not this mad or rant. I'm stuck on Hard Sector 2's Maul and Mandalorian team.I usually tapping out in Sector 5.This is the first time, I'm actually stuck...for 2+ days now. All teams die quickly. The only team that doesn't is my Padme lead.Padme = 323 SpeedCAT = 328 SpeedGAS = 294 SpeedGen Kenobi and Ahsoka Tano are here too, everyone is R7.I tried adding the Speed Booster (+16%) , Initial Tether Tech, Initial Frenzy, Offence Booster (+33%).I haven't seen Steadfast Retribution to buy.At most, I've gotten 2 kills. I've never been defeated only Timed Out, and they're almost always at 250 Clan Loyalty. They get around 5-15 hits before I made a move, they usually stop when all health and protection is replenished. By then all my special abilities' cooldown are increased, and I'm only hitting with basics.This has never happened before. Data Disks have been roughly on par with the past several Conquests.I just don't get it this time.

Yes they’ve done sneak buffs of some enemy teams. It’s underhanded and deceitful, so standard CG practice.

No, same difficulty as before. Mauldalorians are a tough squad. If you can't out-speed them then try countering them. GAS+501st would be my first sub-GL choice or full CLS Rebels could work.

I’ve seen absolutely no difference this time to the previous 2. Which teams? I play medium...and i didnt check any math...but i got trough the fisrt 4 sectors with the impression some teams were stronger and gave a lot more fight. They felt faster in the sense the attacked MORE times than before OR did more damage. The overall result was that their initial barrage (that always existed) did more damage (either lasted longer or had more damage) and sometimes killed a key toon of mine...also, sometimes they got a second barrage that i dont remember happening...IT MAY be perspective...i didnt take any notes...and am still going in sector 4. I completed both the previous ones, so i will have more certainity if i finish sector 5 (or not).The teams where i felt this more were Imperial Troopers and Rey Resistence teams.

I had one Maul Mangochlorians team that ate me alive twice before some team of mine (forget which) was able to 3* it. That was really hard.But other than that I think this one has been easier. Of course, last one, I had a Padme or GAS-led team every third node… So there’s a good amount of bad luck last time.

Personally I didn't feel much difference this time.Disks are a huge factor. They affect the battles significantly. And what everyone finds and uses keep changing from conquest to conquest.

Was the difficulty in Conquest increased this time?

Thanks everyone. It must have been severely bad RNG on me. Many wasted crystals (on boosters and refreshes), Conquest Credits on boosters, and attempts.

But I finally got through this morning Speed Booster (+16%) and Offence Booster (+33%). I also used Thermal Exhaust data disk, though I'm not sure if that did anything.

I used Traya lead, DSion, DNihilus, DRevan, and DMalak.

It looked like a sure loss again after their opening 2 barrages, but somehow my abilities cooldown didn't get reduced like before. Both Sion and Malak had their health in the red (literally almost dead), my Nihilus finally got a turn to do his drain, and Traya was able to throw her Isolate. Also lucky Revan was able to use his Fear on his 2nd turn.

I was certain Malak was going to die because of Ability Block and Shock, so Drain wasn't going to help.

It was a weird feeling watching near repeat defeat, but the game let me have it.

Also important to note that the teams get harder as you progress along a sector.

Their stat bonuses increase later in the sector.

So a JTR team just before the final boss will be much harder than one early in a sector.

You don't have to do that feat for the red crate though. I couldn't beat the BB team last conquest yet still got the red. Out of all the inquisitor feats I only did the 300 purges.

Thats just it...JTR teams have been giving pain since Sector 1...i get trough eventually...but they do a lot more damage. IT MAY BE the disks that are different...but i am not so sure.
Also having problems vs Geo teams. Same effect...they attack A LOT more than i remember.
BTW...i never had a GL and cleared the last 3 or 4 conquests with Revans and Padme teams...and have been improving my teams...so it should be getting easier...not harder.

Unfortunately I dont have Geos, so I do need to do some

Like you don't have any geos at all? You realize you can just spam the sector 4 boss with undergeared geos, right?
