Why does Secrets and Shadows Challenge Tier 3 exist?

I have R7 Daka @148K health with Crit Avoid arrow. If you balance it carefully, using a Talzin lead you can have Zombie and Talia die off at least 12 times or more through the first 3 phases. Each revival gives Daka 10% health increase (Stacking). But it is all for nought as Sidious AOE usually kills her first go. She has survived this initial once for me but another AOE comes around too soon and always takes her out.

The health gain does not carry through waves.

It’s meant for a full r8 NS team.

To me this graphic says it all. There is nothing to build towards for tier 3 of this event. The others there are things to work on. This event is only worth a team just strong enough for tier 2.

G8 JKL works for Ground War though. Just need great mods on the others and smart strategy.

I would love to see a Maul and Opress rework to give them the tag

Grade 2 Secrets and Shadows is an insane RNG hunt at best, which in my humble understanding is not worth the investment. Grade 3 must be an even worse case.

Like many things in the game, this was simply poorly designed

Are you sure it’s been done on tier 3? That strategy is an insane RNG-fest on tier 2 but I’ve never seen anyone pass wave 4 on tier 3.
I’m hoping for a GL nightsister soon :)

Moon SWGOH says he’s got a guild mate who did it

Also said he's got full r7 NS, optimally modded, and it took him several hours to finally get the RNG, since it's the same strategy as previous tiers. Doesn't seem worth the headache.

They should change the faction requirement for S&S and allow Mandalorians.

If they made the event Darth Sidious the same as a player's version R7, people would beat Tier 3 with G12.
