How to beat a lone Malak?

I had one team left to beat in GA - HK,Badstilla,G13Malak (I had already beat DR and SETrooper)

GG took em out no sweat. His healing immunity was key

I really wish people would stop bumping threads from March 2020.

I once used a Traya lead combo with Savage, and skipped having to do a bunch of damage by using Savage’s special when he dipped below 50%

I feel like the wayback machine just hit me on the head!

I run G8/9 Traya trio plus one additional tank. They don't do enough damage to trigger his Drain Life reset and you just sit around waiting for Annihilate. It's worked every time I've had to clean up.

You could use Mando to disintegrate him. He doesn't even need to be high gear, just as long as he stays alive and you've got a leader with a quick contract.

Yep. For a full DR/Malak team I would use Jango lead for the speed and the enemy debuffs themselves, making the contract easy to fulfill. But for a lone Malak, I'd take an Aurra Sing lead with Bossk, Greef Karga, Mando and Dengar. Bossk will not be stealthed, so he should take the hit that removes buffs, allowing your other BHs to use 10 abilities while stealthed to fulfill the contract so Mando can disintegrate Malak.

Although I've found that a 1-2 punch from r7 Boba's and Jango's rockets can topple a Malak. I've beat Malak before without getting Mando's disintegrate ready. I'm assuming, though that most people aren't zealots who r7'd their Bounty Hunters first.

EDIT: I did some more testing and Aurra Sing is better than I thought for this. Her contract says, "Use an ability 10 times while stealthed." What I discovered is that during assists, if at least one bounty hunter is stealthed, bith attacks count as stealth attacks. So when a stealthed Greef calls in assists, you get 1 for his ability and 4 for the assisting bounty hunters - even though Bossk isn't stealthed! If malak is debuffed and a stealthed Dengar's basic calls Bossk to assist, that counts as 2 stealthed attacks! And if Bossk calls a stealthed bounty hunter to assist, his electro net also counts toward the contract, even if he isn't stealthed! I did a quick Goigle search to see if this came up but I didn't find anything. I'm sure others have discovered this, too, but I just found it out for myself this morning.

Thrawn. The answer involves Thrawn.

Thanks a lot. I also felt like it involves him. Had a single R7 Malak in 3v3 left so went in again with GG B2 and thrawn. Worked out well.
