Is Zavage worth it as far as tank raid p1?

So does he just escape right when the big gun is about to go off

From what I’ve seen you gotta mod him to be able to withstand the blast but escape before enrage happens. And that’s for p1 and p3. I was just wondering how feasible this strategy is. Hoping to hear from someone who actually is able to do it. Either phase really.

And how do I do that I didn't know that was possible

From the description of the main gun "Deal Unmitigable damage to target enemy and secondary Physical damage to all other enemies. This attack can't be Evaded. If the primary target doesn't have a positive status effect, this attack deals massive damage to them instead.". Zavage always has positive status effects on him so there is no massive damage. He can still get crushed by it but in general he'll be at full health before the gun fires and then will be able to heal before the rest of the droids start firing.

You have to mod him for health primarily as you want a high health pool. Protection not so much as once that's gone it never comes back whereas health does.

I have used Zavage for P1 and P3 of HAAT. Never had a solo on either though I probably could do both if my guild wasn't strong enough to finish the phase before I can make numerous runs. Also the mindbogglingly long time it would take would be hard to stomach.

P1 is doable but you only have two escape attempts before GG gets enrage. So with the high percentage of failed escapes you're going to find yourself retreating fairly often and more so restarting the game so that am impending death doesn't get counted. Once your guild gets strong enough he'll be useless as the tiny amounts of damage per time will take way too long.

P3 is significantly harder to solo. You need to first send in another strong squad to get all the B1's down to yellow territory before Zavage makes his run. Even with that it's very RNG dependent and you'll find you're spending way too much time widdling down respawned B1's back to yellow before Rocket Man can hit them with Directed Fire. Again good luck with escaping before enrage.

Airplane Mode will be your friend (to keep Zavage alive) and your enemy (to keep the endless battle keep going).

Thanks for the input. Glad to hear from someone who’s actually tried it. As I said my guild is pretty weak so far. I’m the only one who can do any real damage in the pit as of now. So I hold back every other raid to not take the top spot everytime. And on tank none of us do really well. And it’s a normal tank. And still takes us like 2-3 days to get past phase 1. So zavage should work prettty well for me for a while.

So, I'm choosing between getting Thrawn Zeta (unique) and Zavage... would you then recommend my Zavage for P1 solo (potential) and with my Sith team, or Thrawn for P3, Empire team, and Arena?

Good luck. It will be painful as you'll likely find yourself watching the beautifully designed loading screen images more than you'd like as you use a force game close, with airplane mode, to save him. That said it's a remarkably low cost way to do some good damage early on.

My Zavage is G10. Health I can't recall as I just ripped out his Mods to loan to another character.

From everything I’ve read on here I’d say Thrawn for certain. Zavage wouldn’t be much help under a DN lead.

Thanks again for the input! I know it’s gonna be slow and painful but I just can’t stand seeing P1 there for as long as it is lol. After I work on the other phases I’ll go back and get a better Jedi team to help out with it.

Zavage is still great under DN lead, the HoT just aren't useful. Although, never to be used against Boba Fett.. but I think you're right, Thrawn is almost definitely better
