Post update strength challenge Comments.

HOW MUCH HEALTH AND AMOR DO THEY HAVE? Two support Droid extra damage it takes to kill one guy! By the time I kill Tarkin the other has his aoe.! And I lose using some of the highest damage attackers.

Just tried agian, all level 70s, even with timing Anakin to get offense up, I got Veers dead and then Tarkin annihilated everyone.
This is messed up.

I dont get it at all, my level 70-73 7* team is getting owned repeatedly on the strength challenge now, the HP are just WAY to high to burn down the bosses in time

I'm glad this is happening to other people as well. I keep getting my ass handed to me all of the sudden!

I can't beat it with all level 73 max gear. I use 86,geo, 88,greedo (who's thermal got resisted by everyone thought it would be good for this bit no) and one lackluster 6* gear 8 magmatrooper. Magmatrooper geo and greedo are max gear but stars as they are 6* 88,86 are 7* max gear and level.

I was able to beat Tier IV once with Sid (L), FOTP, Rey, Leia, and GS (all 7*, GL8 or higher, abilities maxed, and Lvl 70-74) after multiple tries.

Thanks, I'll try with Sid lead.
This is a major buff, to say the least. Wow.

Have made 4 attempts. All failed.

It still gives you advantage and makes you crit for a lot of damage, but, the encounter has been adjusted due to all of the recent changes.

FYI I went in to tier III and was able to beat it, but, it did take a lot more work, can't auto through it anymore.

This makes it sound like the difficulty was adjusted to offset changes to the damage mechanics, but the opposite appears to be true. The difficulty has gone way up. I could always auto-win Tier IV with little difficulty. Now I can't even come close to winning Tier IV on manual. I mean, not even close. The support droids take about 3x as many hits to kill as before, and then the damage boost or something when facing Veers and Tarkin is many times less effective.

I stepped down to Tier III, and I would say it is now noticeably harder than Tier IV was before. Beatable, but much, much harder. I'd be curious to know what it takes to beat Tier IV now.

same for me, as if the gear farm was not hard enough if i need to be level 80 full 7* team to sometimes win this...... well what will be the point of playing?

I lost my first attempt in TIV after the update. Next try, I lost the race against the killer AOE but Greedo dodged and I was able to pull out a lucky win
