Loved the video. I'm trying to build a zVader Rancor team. As a f2p, I need the "why" more than the "who." This was a great help.

@Sawyerstooth Appreciate it! Eventually even as a F2P you'll have an extra zeta laying around. I totally recommend Vader.

Good vid, Nukin.

Ignore the haters. Every post on the forum attracts at least one snarky comment from people who are obviously soooooo much better than the rest of us.

Just keep up the good work. Always quality stuff.

thx 4 sharing @NukinFTW

I have had a difficult time finding a team to do more 8+million damage in Heroic Pit raids since the rework
Vader, Palp, Sid, TFP, Rex = 2.3mil
Vader, Jyn, Teebo, Rex, QGJ = 5.7mil
Vader, Palp, TFP, Jyn, Rex = 6.9mil
Vader, Palp, Sid, Jyn, Rex = 7.2mil

Test Runs no score, lose 3 characters by Phase X
Vader, Palp, Jyn, Teebo, R2 = Phase 2
Vader, Palp, Sid, Rex, QGJ = Phase 3
Teebo, Jyn, Wedge, Rex, Phasma = Phase 3
Teebo, Jyn, Rex, TFP, Phasma = Phase 3
Teebo, Jyn, Rex, QGJ, Phasma = Phase 2

Vader teams speed is 200+
Jyn speed 244

Do not want to gear a new team that dev are going to rework, current, Tarkin 5* G5 need omegas, Shoretrooper 4* G10 need omegas, Magmatrooper 7* G7 need omegas

After the recent fixes to Zader's leadership, I decided to make a detailed guide on how to still clear the rancor in this rundown video. I go over the history of Darth Vader in the raid, why you should run Zader over Teebo teams, the team to use, the mods to run, and give tips & strategies to be successful. Good luck to everyone and happy raiding!

Thank you so much for the video! You did an awesome job laying out all of the components to making it work... I have all of these characters at G11 and I hope to be able to get back to my soloing ways soon!

Sorry for the noob question, but everybody is talking about soloing the rancor. If you do it all by yourself, wouldn't it deprive your guildmates of the rewards for the raid?

@Zambor many guilds have a registration period of 12-24 hours. player use this time to place 1 character in the raid to die. the player gets a zero on the leader board, all players in a guild will do this, all players have rewards. after the registration period, a set time, all players enter the raid to compete. players that can do the complete raid do not finish, they stop at 5% health left, wait for in game, guild chat, message that the raid is over, they finish the run to post damage. now everyone had a chance to take part in the raid.

Excellent guide thank! It's my team but I run zid instead of st. My speed mods are not up to yours but I could get there with a tweak.

Do you have Bistan? He fits well with Jyn lead, Teebo and two more rebels for dmg f.ex. Wiggs.

If not, how about FOO? He has great synergy Teebo lead and Phasma, since he both removes TM every other turn, grants TM to allies whenever he removes some and also grants 100% TM to one ally every 2—3 turns. Use that whenever Teebo is unstealthed and needs hekp getting ahead of the Rancor. Since the zVader bug fix I've soloed Rancor twice with Teebo (l), FOO, Phasma, TFP and Rex. That team should take you to phase 4 as a minimum every time.

One last hint:
I don't simply topple the Rancor at every chance I get. I bring the door button to half/low health and then leave it for when I need a way out from bad RNG on the TM removal (Rancor has near 100% health with no TM remover on high TM)

could jyn lead, bistan, wiggs, teebo work?

or, jyn (L), bistan, teebo, R2, and then a 5th speed down/tm reducer/dps (rex/tfp/RG) etc work?

I would think teebo lead teams, or jyn lead teams (not sure if jyn leads work) would need somebody w/ tenacity down or speed down to work?

I can do it without a zeta, why you don't put a video for F2P people that cannot reach a zeta???
