Padmé tier 5 is stupid hard

T5 & 6 isn't that difficult.

Did it with:
Lead - GG (g12, no zetas)
Assaj (g12, unique zeta)
Dooku (g12, zeta)
B2 (g11, no zeta)
Poggle (lvl 80, g7)

zGG with Zeta on Special
zzAV with Crit-Damage-Arena-Mods
Tier 5 after some tries with different leaders ... but this team worked ... AV last woman standing.
T6 - no chance right now - I will bring GG and B2 to G12 and try T6 and T7 next time.

Copying a post from another thread here, as I am trying for Tier 5. I want to like this event, but the guidelines in the event of 5* characters, gear 10, and 5-dot mods do not seem to be an accurate reflection of what you need to unlock.
I have G12 zAsajj (unique), G10 zGrevious (Unique), 6* G10 Dooku, G9 B2, and G8 Spy, Sun Fac, and 6* Magna to choose from. Can't event get a kill in Tier 5. I'll have B2 @ G10 and Grevious @ G11 by Sunday, and Magna / Dooku @ 7*.
I'm not trying for a 7* Padme. I'm trying for unlock. I've modded as best I can according to crouchingrancor, etc.
I've tried 40 attempts at least so far (yes targeting Padme as first kill). i'm obv. doing some wrong, but I can't figure it out at the moment.

Edit: Just adding that I aced the Chewbacca event and 3P0 events, yes they were hard but I enjoyed them.

Did T5 and T6 with these guys and it wasnt too bad. Asaaj was leader and that g6 lv50 Sun Fac was my 5th.

The folk who can't unlock 5 or 6 with 5 g12 separatists should go home and rethink their lives

I managed to unlock her after about 200 attempts with a Gear 9 team, unremarkable mods, and only one zeta (on GG lead ability - not sure if this is actually necessary or not).

Line-Up, Gear and Purpose:



GG(z)(L) - G9+1

• "Marks" the Droideka so your team can avoid all damage
  
• Stuns
  

Asaj - G11+1

• Removes enemy debuffs (v.useful to remove GK taunt)
  
• Stuns
  

Dooku - G9+1

• Stuns
  
• Ability Blocks
  
• Shocks (cannot gain buffs)
  

B2 - G9+0

• Immunity Block
  
• Immunity Block
  
• Immunity Block
  
• Target Lock
  
• Immunity Block
  

Droideka - G9+1

• Hides behind his shields
  
• Does crazy high damage
  

Mods: Nothing too special.. mostly blue and purple

• GG : Health and Speed above all else
  
• B2 : Potency and Speed (once I got his Potency north of 80% things got a lot easier!)
  
• Droideka : Offence, Protection - and AVOID SPEED at all costs - he has 97 speed!
  

The Droideka is a special case.

he can't critically hit - so Offence is vital (don't bother with Crit Chance OR Crit Dmg)

The more "charges" he gets (by the enemy taking turns before he goes) the more damage he does

The greater the difference between his speed and his target - the more damage he does!


For reasons (2) and (3) above .. low speed is the killer (literally! He can 2-shot Padme!)

Kill order:

Padme (to stop protection up)

Anakin (to stop him one-shotting my team)

Healer (to stop revives)

GK (FTW!)


Strategy:
There a number of stars which need to align for this to work .. and this took a LOT of attempts to make it happen ...

Droideka needs to be Marked by GG - if this doesn't happen (and/or you lose toons in the first few turns) then just quit and start again.

Go "shields up" with the Droideka - he is now the only target, completely immune to damage, and stacking "charge" for high damage shots

B2 needs to apply Buff Immunity on BOTH Padme and GK (hence the high potency) - This stops Padme getting protection up, and stops GK from taunting. Ideally you should also get Healing Immunity on Padme to stop the healer from restoring her health - if GK is taunting when your Droideka turn comes around, just quit and start again!

Keep Padme stunned and/or ability blocked (Asaj / Dooku) - otherwise she will remove debuffs and heal

Once Padme is dead - stun / ability block Anakin - if the Healer revives Anakin kill him immediately or he will one-shot your team


This took an AWFUL lot of attempts .. I really lost count.

The Ideal Start


I CAN HAS WINZ!

This event should come with a warning. If you don’t have the Sep Droids. I’m thinking something like: “Abandon all hope ye who enter here”

ZzAssaj lead, g12 dooku g11 B2 g11 geo soldier g8 sun fac +60-80 speed mods not even in my top 20 sets, easy as pie.

1. Need a little Rng to get buff immunity on GK then hit padme with assaj basic for stun then unload on her.
2. Sun fac basic b2 special assaj special to cleanse taunt and retribution as needed.
3. Kill anakin
4. Unload on jedi fish.
5. Mop up

Cant wait until people get her and find out she don’t hit like she does in event

With Courage, I can assure you she does. Got to be g12 with great mods but yeah, she'll hit for 20-25k.

Did it with this

If you can spare the crystals or $15 for the weekly droideka shards or if you are close to 5* and can get there, do it. I can’t emphasize enough how much easier him getting marked behind damage immunity makes this.

B1 is usesless, gives them tons of free undispellabe prot, same with dooku.

Soldier also useless but I had to use him.

If you’ve got Fun Sac or AV use them instead of soldier.

Also, sneaky bug is sleeper mvp, bro hits for like 30k even at g8 so if you’ve got him geared for his ship slap some CD mods on him and enjoy.

Make sure your grievous has as little prot as possible. His job is to just get brought below 100% hp so that mark goes on DD. Kill order Padme, Jolee Knockoff, Ani/GK. At tier 5 Padme really is the only dangerous one once you blow her away it’s a win, DD killed Ani and GK by himself for me.

Still took around 50 tries.
