Dark Side Battles Hard Node 9-B

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.

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


    Idk the value exactly, but it is absolutely insane. On that first phase, every guy gets to attack twice before I even get to move. Not cool when my Gear X shoretrooper gets destroyed before I even get to move once. Compound the problem when you get resistance pilots in the first wave that all gain foresight after they automatically get to attack first.

    I think you need old daka

    I've used Old Dana with Gear Level X and 83% potency every match; her revive hasn't worked once and she stuns on occasion. RNG is not on my side at all today. I've managed to 3* every single node aside from this one, but I guess my OCD is going to have to take a back seat until I get to Gear level XI and have much better mods.
  • Just wanted to give an update: I finally three starred this node with the advice given from @OskarWulfgar ! Borrowed an IG-88, used my own EP lead with Darth Vader, Old Daka, RG, and Shoretrooper. Got really lucky with my RNG on the final node and stunned every toon with EP's special, and he was off to the races with TM gain after that. Great advice, thanks again for the replies, and if anyone else is struggling with this node, try the strategy Oskar advised.
  • I can 2* it easily, this isn't really that hard a node. Work on your toons. Everyone seems to think you should just be able to march all over it cause you reached the level. I was there. Took a few months away, went back, easy. Just chill and develop your characters.
