A Rodian bounty hunter and a droid bounty hunter walk into a bar. They both die. The end. That’s the story with every battle of anything with these two. Why are they so fragile and frail when Fett, Dengar and Bossk are so invincible? They’re like the two gun wings of an F-16 jet fighter with Bossk as pilot and Fett and Dengar the engines that would otherwise be a tactical freeflying pentagon of death if the wings weren’t constantly breaking off and dying at the first sight of any stone that is thrown. Suddenly what otherwise might be a devilish pentagram of injustice is a three sided triangle of failure, quickly tumbling to the abyss like the starfighter from Atari’s arcade classic Asteroids that delved too deep into a cosmic stone field and is now desperately spinning out of control and hoping by some strange miracle it makes it out alive. And then it doesn’t. Because two of your toons are dead. What other faction has two members that are as squishy? Why are they so weak and the others so strong? What do I have to make Greedo and IG-88 not die?

IG—88 always was a glass canon. The potentialy great damage output comes at the cost of survivability.

Greedo with CDCC and payout = just WOW.

So I went with Greedo and guess what? I BEAT TIER 2 of REBEL ROUNDUP WITH 13 MINUTES LEFT, GEAR VIII (except Bossk gear IX but six star)!!!!!! Here’s a whole post I wrote about it. Thanks for the good advice. GREEDO ROCKED IT. IG-WHO?!IJust beat Tier II of the assault battle with lvl 80 bounty hunters with Gear VIII (Bossk Gear IX six Star) with ten minutes to spare in the event. Because I am the Chosen One. This has seriously happened the last four assault battles going back to Rebel Roundup tier I when it was last on the calendar. At this point I’m starting to believe that the game makes it easier somehow in the last twenty minutes of the event. But this isn’t true. I just honed the skill and maximized damage based on patterns with the built in extra turn special ability like I do every time. God I’m good at Assault Battles. I had all but given up on this one but was enjoying trying just for fun because I kept getting to 8/8. You’re supposed to have Gear X to complete this event, and it showed. I won because I spent my five omegas today on Greedo 75% counter attack chance on payout with my 5 omegas rather than increasing Bossks taunt duration. It helped him stay alive and added immense damage. Here’s some tips for the event itself: 1. Don’t worry about getting Bossk the damage increase by using his extra turn ability for kills. Use it when taunt and the net are on cooldown to simply get them back faster. If you can use it before a net and destroy a guy, good. It won’t give you the offense up but it will be one less enemy.2. Use the Dengars extra turn as soon as it can give you grenades back. You’re hitting all enemies with multiple crits and you should get some kills for the offense ups. Use the stun in the downturn and save reg attack for getting the offense up by killing someone with very low health. 3. Forget about IG-88. He’s gonna die about 2/3 of the way through, which is actually fine because it allows you to focus on getting offense ups on Fett, Greedo and Dengar. 4. Use Greedos extra turn anytime you think he can kill someone and get offense up with his reg attack, even if it means a double shot. Take chances with that. Use Threaten to take as much turn meter as possible. Throw grenades when there are many healthy enemies Alice and you’re definirely not going to kill them. 5. Use Fetts extra turn to get back Execute that turn every time, which you should use on enemies with the most debuffs to maximize damage. If you can get a kill and offense up with an aoe, use the extra turn. The key to the entire event is KNOWING in your heart whether that execute or Greedo attack is going to finish someone off. You must feel the force within and trust in your feelings. By 8/8 I had 9 stacks on Fett, 8 on Greedo, 6 on Dengar, 0 on Bossk. Dengar was stealthed so R2 couldn’t cloak anyone. I used Bossks extra turn to gain taunt right away, then Netted one of the Adds to death. I ignored the pathfinder because it can Rez and set my sights for squishy Leia. Aoe broke the rest down. I made it a point to kill Luke next because he’s so powerful. Then Tano. Then R3. Then the Pathfinder last. Hope this helps and consider me as a skilled up and coming player when I hit endgame if anyone’s looking to form a guild for pros only. Thanks and I hope this helped.

there are plenty of other just as squishy characters out there, and neither of those two are weak.that said, Bossk lead is a considerable bonus to toughness. Are you using him, with the zeta?

He needs a third ability of some sort. Everything relies on target lock that you get from an aoe you can only use once every three turns or so. Greedo has nice damage but I’m not impressed with IG-88 so far. And the more you mod him for damage the more frail he gets.

How Do I Make Greedo and IG-88 Not Die?

You are just a little low level. Once you get them geared and payouts and abilities they are great.

Also if you are using them under Boba they should all have at least a potency cross. They get bonus health based on Potency.

Are they still at Gear 8? Yeah, you're not going to get far with that. The Rebel Roundup is not tuned to that gear level.

I’ve accepted it. But tell me what’s more valuable:

Increasing Bossk Taunt and Frenzy by one turn?

Or giving Greedo 75% counter attack on payouts?

As far as surviability?

I’m leaning towards taunt because Greedo often dies before I can even get the payout. Seems like you get the taunt, then he lives longer, then you get his payout. No?

You want both.

But Greedo's payout turns him into a god-like-super-sexy-puffer-fished-faced-murdering-machine.

He heals himself massively and becomes extremely hard to kill.

I can’t make it through 1/8 on Tier II Bounty hunter assault battles without losing both.

A little more gear and Zeta on Bossk makes a big difference.

I had all at gr9 with Boba and Bossk(5*) at gr11. Could only 1* Tier II.

Bossk is now Gold, 7*, and Zeta'd
Boba is now Gold.
The other 3, Greedo, Dengar, and IG88 are still gr9. My first run through Tier III one died on 8/8, only got 2*'s. Today I was able to 3* Tier III.

They definitely get better! :)
That said, Greedo and IG88 are the most vulnerable still.

Which one first though? I only have enough omegas for one right now.

personally, i would say Greedo, it is so satisfying to see him destroy somebody after they used an aoe.
