Is low gear C3PO still a thing, and why?

There is a solo team for phase 3 of HSTR that uses a team with CLS, C-3PO and lower potency, which gains turn meter every time Traya resists a debuff through CLS lead zeta. C-3PO does not need lower gear, he just cannot have that ability maxed out.

I would gear your c3po. Mine is completely maxed and I have still been able to solo phase 3 with proper modding.

C3PO’s potency increases the more you gear him up, so it actually is a better to not gear him up if you plan to use this team.

I agree completely. Was just telling op why I would (and have). I should state that I have a zeta on farmboy 's unique, that makes it possible for me to solo.

Wouldn't it be wiser to gear him up and just not mod him for potency? What's he got at g12 without mods? 30-40% potency?

Oh geez, I just checked, my 6* C3PO has 55 potency at g9. Yeah, that would effect the resist debuff strategy at g12.

At g12 without mods he has 65% potency. At g7 without mods he has 31% potency.

The real killer is his cyborg relations ability that gives 40% potency to all rebels on your team. Guy in my guild has a G11 3po but purposefully left that ability at level 1. He's able to solo P3 every time without much issue.

Again I agree 100%. But I think c3po is extremely valuable (and not easily acquired). I run cls, bb8, ezra, c3po, and farmboy. No added potency from mods on bb8, ezra, or c3po. I actually have cls just under 40% potency, and I have been able to solo phase 3 the last 4 times. (My guild has only been able to pass 10 times).

@MrMojoRisin1978 not willing to gear up or zeta farm boy, but curious if you did not level cyborg relations?
