Secrets and Shadows Assault Battles [MERGE]

I got through bonus round with all G8 pheonix, no Kanan. I'm sure I got amazing RNG, as Sid's AoE took everyone down to a sliver of health, but no deaths. The trick was to delay Sid with stagger so he never got to use AoE again. Sid dodging Ezra is annoying, so thats more RNG added in the mix. Chopper's assists helped more than I expected.

Also, Sidious is immune to stun in his event. Definitely is WAI. If you could stun him, there would be no challenge at all. He'd be a sitting duck with no allies to help him. Same for Nihilus (trooper and Assassin are really weak)

@Dart_EdMar thanks for sharing your strategy, I followed it and completed the bonus tier.

Once you get through his protection, his HPs are a joke. I think 2 shotted him?? Therefore its designed more for Plague kit and NSers. Still doable with Phoenix. Got through everything with only losing Kanan in Tier III due to DNi auto annihilate at beginning.

Used Hera, Sabine, Kanan (all G11), and Zeb & Ezra (both G10). 4-5* mods but not really speed kit as their counter w/kanan keeps them going.

i had just finished it, once u get right past Sid and DN's protections, its easier. And, DN annhiliates at point blank in Bonus Tier, took me 12tries.

I just wish my gear 12 zid could be that strong! Lol

If you're using Nightsisters, switch to Talzin for your leader. Plague ignores protection.

I was having trouble with Ventress (ftp Nightsister team, Daka (g9) and Talia (g8) 7*, Ventress (g8) and Acolyte (g7) and Initiate (g7) at 6*, moved the leftover jank mods I had on my Ewoks to these folks) so I switched to Phoenix and had ZERO luck. Lost a whole bunch with both. So then I swapped Talzin in for the Acolyte and made her my leader instead of Ventress.

Try not to use any abilities in round 3 so that all your abilities are available for round 4. I admittedly got lucky with round 3 ending with Talia near full turn meter, so she was able to Stagger Sidious (and plague him, thanks to Talzin's leader ability) right off the bat, then Ventress AoE'd to drop his TM down (AoE because it's a special ability and will apply another stack of Plague, your basic won't.) By the time Sidious got a turn he had over 6 stacks of Plague (Daka should taunt with Celerity because you'll need her res) which dropped his health by at least 30%--I forget exactly how many stacks I had on him, sorry, I did this a few hours ago--even though his protection was still nearly full. This killed everyone but Daka, who then ressed everyone but Talia. Sidious' second attack is a single target whack, which gives you two full turns to stack as many more Plagues on him as you can. The Plagues killed him at the start of Sidious' third turn, which would have been an AoE.

I expected to lose because I never was able to res Talia, Daka died to Nihilus' opening Annihilate, and Talzin only got two attacks (Dark Magick, crucially, and a basic on Nihilus that added another Plague) before dying. But I was able to just keep attacking Nihilus with specials and stack more and more Plagues on him, then when the Sith Trooper taunted I used Ventress to clear it and stacked on him. Plague finished off both of them, and then I was able to clean up the Assassin with just Ventress and Initiate.

My Talzin is 4*, gear 6. Her leader ability is at 7, but the rest is hovering around 4/5 (nowhere near enough purples), I got lucky in the Credit Heist so she's level 85, but that's not so important. Mods are leftovers that I took off the Acolyte, a whopping 119 speed, only 7 of that coming from her mods. All of this is to say that she doesn't have to be anywhere near maxed out to be effective!

I won't be able to do the final tier this time, for sure, but when the event comes back in a few months it should be do-able.
