Ummm, does anyone have any tips? I thought the light side hard battles were enough of a challenge, but nothing could prepare me for this battle. I've used all 7* characters with at least gear level IX, and I get smoked before I even get to Rey (and if I do get to Rey, my squad is half gone). My most recent attempt had every Resistance Trooper attack two to three times in a row EACH, wiping out my entire squad in the second phase before I could make a move. I've tried borrowing a Dooku ally for dodge, a Phasma lead for extra attacks with a stun lock team, an HK lead with droids for TM gain, nothing works. The TM gain for the Resistance Troopers is ridiculous, and couple that with the base damage of 17k a hit on non-tank characters, this level seems impossible. If anyone has any tips, I'd be delighted to know. I've managed to 3* every light side hard battle (including the dreaded Embo stage), but there seems no end in sight for this one.

I'll have to try that. I have a shoretrooper I can use to tank the opening hits in the first phase and a RG for subsequent phases. I'll report back how it goes. Thanks for the reply and insight

All are gear 10 or above and level 85. I can't even kill more than one trooper in the final stage

I got some really bad RNG that my 92% potency Palpatine (before leader bonus) was getting resisted like crazy, but even so, I managed to down everyone but Rey and Finn. So hey, progress of sorts!

I used G10 Palp lead, G10 Vader, G11 IG-88, G10 RG, and G9 (5*) TFP. Borrowed Phasmas. Breezed through all the dark side battles with that lineup.

Well Oskar, second attempt using your strategy and it worked! Only 1 star for the moment, but I'll take it. Thank you very much again for the suggestion!

That's awesome! I'm glad to hear Tie Fighter Pilot is that awesome; I've only got him at 4* myself but he's the toon I'm focused on farming right now. Good to know he's worth it.

Dooku (L) RG Vader 86 Phasma borrowed a super fast EP. AoE stun as much as possible and use the shock trick on the final encounter to EP goes all the time.

Does anyone know the speed of those Res pilots and troopers? They went before my 270 speed TFP which is pretty crazy
