Military might level 2 Palpatine insta-kill

Ok, so I have a lvl 84 7 stars Phoenix team. On level 2 of that event i can rush through the 7 first phases without any trouble. But then I go to phase 8 and Palpatine is doing 200k + dommage each time he do a move which is ridiculous. So no matter what is my strategy each time he move I loose a toon. Is it possible to prevent that and why he can do so much dommage?
  • It's end game content, it's difficult.

    Have kanan taunt to absorb all the stuns. Attack palp with zeb, use all assists to call zeb to attack palp. Keep palp stunned. Kill everyone, repeat.

    Did it last night (8 hours ago) with Phoenix, took 5 attempts. First off I had to get kanan to taunt right off the bat so zeb wouldn’t get stunned. Keep using assist/stagger on ep while you take down the rg one at a time. You can also use choppers dispel to remove some tm from palp if you need the extra turn on zeb to get a stun or stagger.

    It really comes down to rng with Phoenix, if Kanan doesn’t taunt early the stun train will screw you.

    Edit: to all those saying cls, if people are using Phoenix probably means he doesn’t have it.
  • I kept Palps stunned and attack the guards. Hope this helps, I used CLS, R2, STHan, Old Ben, Ackbar
  • You can’t prevent the one-shot if Palpatine gets it off, that’s just the mechanic for the event is all—if he hits someone, they fall down.

    So what you need to do is minimize the number of times he gets to go. The good news is that Palpatine is very slow for this event, so Speed Down will give you a lot of bonus time to work with. Stagger will give you even more. Stuns give you even more than that—though I think Zeb has the only stun for Phoenix and it’s never been very reliable for me so I wouldn’t recommend it personally—if you have R2-D2, use its basic.

    If it looks like Palpatine will get a turn, your best bet is probably to taunt and have Hera throw Backup Plan on the taunter. You may get licky with Chopper dodging if it’s taunting, but, again, not recommended.

    The other alternative is if you have some sort of mass cleanse—Baze has one, but other characters do as well (Echo if you’re using Clones). Focus on Palpatine, then when you trigger all the taunts you can wipe them away and continue with burning down the Emperor.
  • Personally, I used Jyn and R2 to help be beat him. They can stun him and Jyn can take away his TM. If she keeps taking that away and he stays stunned, you can't really lose. I suggest those two, a tank(STH, Old Ben, or Baze if you have him) and then 2 damage dealers.
  • Use a sturdy/slow tank. One who takes all the stuns from RG's. Preferably baze. Or someone who gives tenacity up (chirrut). Stun lock palp.
    I don't think phoenix at g8 will cut it.
  • I did it up to level 3 with phoenix g8 and zCLS g9. The team consisted of Hera (L), Zeb, Kanan, Chopper and zCLS.
  • Palpatine's basic in that event is a finger of God.

    Beating him is not about slugging it out with Palpatine. It's about controlling Palpatine. Stun, stagger, and turn meter reduction are your tools.
  • I was just able to complete with after 10+ attempts

    I used all lvl 80 phoenix, all g9 with only uniques and heras lead omegad (no omega on chopper).

    My strategy was this:

    Autoplay untill round 6/7, take over and use all basic attacks, so you're not on cooldowns going into round 8.

    first chance you get, taunt with chopper or kanan, so the royal guards only continously stun 1 toon, and no the whole team. Now try to make sure you keep kanan taunting as much as possible, and use your stagger/stun on palp, call zeb to assist from both ezra and hera. you NEED to keep palpatine stunned for the entire fight, or you will have a very hard time. (I managed to keep him from taking a turn the whole fight on my sucsessful attempt, and my mods are very mediocre, so it should be possible).

    All other attacks that I didnt mention, use to take down royal guards, take down one at a time.

    Hope this was helpful, and good luck!
