I'm sure most people who have attempted this are aware, but the event is completely impossible at this time. Every other Assault Battle has a way to overcome Challenge Tier 3, but without significant reworks or new characters, this event is completely impossible at the moment, even with R7 (I would assume R8) characters.

Then they could add Cal Kestis as well.

Why does Secrets and Shadows Challenge Tier 3 exist?

Talzin or Asajj would be best for a NS GL but don't think the faction really warrants one. I do enjoy my NS squad and would love more for them but don't think there's enough for it. Keep in mind we had 2 variations of Rey before GL Rey and same with Kylo. So having the characters already means nothing.

thats true but those characters had changes and progressions. talzin didnt have any major changes, asajj kinda did when she became a bounty hunter but she wouldnt be much of a NS GL then

That's why I said it most likely wouldn't happen. Just not enough development to warrant it in that way. Maybe we can at least get one of them as a legendary to give them a slight boost. I mean they almost took out Dooku from a distance and probably would have succeeded if not for Grievous

Obviously you need R8 Phoenix to beat T3

I didnt realize.

There might be a non-zero chance (if Daka evades multiple times, so like 2% of 2% (of 2%...)) but otherwise Sidious hits for more damage than any character can survive, even with the optimal combination of health and defense mod sets. The highest health Old Daka in the game is currently 164,805, and Sidious' NON-critical hits are about 170k-200k.

You can try Daka lead to survive (with the +50% health), but then I don't think there is enough damage output because you can't rely on plague (and NS don't inflict heal immunity).

So yeah, it might eventually be beatable with Relic 9 or 7-dot mods, but currently it's effectively impossible (but perhaps not mathematically impossible - 1 in 2500+ attempts you might get the right combination of dodges).

Imagine being so extremely happy that you finally beat wave 4 after hundreds of tries and then lose on another wave xD

@IvoB1987 I had that this past time where through RNG Deathtrooper managed to perma-kill Asajj after over an hour of attempts trying to get through Sidious on T2.

Only another 25 minutes worth of attempts to finally clear T2.

You could run phonix plus Daka and zombie in tier 3.... In theory if you can avoid Daka dieing in before round 4, then zombie will be able to prevent her death twice.... My phonix suck so, never tried it.

Sure, but Phoenix doesn't have enough damage to kill Sid, even if they somehow survive while a 150k HP Daka dies. Twice.
