So I realize this question is so 2017, but before I get rHan to 7* (64/100) and let other guildies take top spots, I was hoping to Solo this thing. Preferably Auto. Some of the popular characters I don't have to solo with at 7 * are Jyn, CLS, Rex, Teebo, Bistan. Here's what I do have.. Can anyone suggest the appropriate combo? Thanks in advance Zader glv 12 speed 171ZPalp glv 10 speed 170TFP glv 11 speed 217Tarkin glv 12 speed 204Thrawn glv 10 speed 192FOO glv 10 speed 190Magma glv 8 speed 157All abilities are maxed with multiple omegas

I think your Zader, TFP, Tarkin, Palp, and Thrawn can do it on auto. FOO doesn't benefit from Zader's lead, so don't use him. TFP has tenacity down so you need him, you need Thrawn's fracture, Tarkin's AOE, and the last spot is either Palp or magma. Since Palp has more gear, I recommend him.

It's all about TM reduction. TFP benefits from Zader's lead and hence gains a chance yo remove TM on every hit — KRU doesn't. Tankiness is not important, since you should aim at preventing the Rancor from taking any turn at all. If you insist on using KRU at least make him slow to not feed too much TM to the boss. KRU's only purpose will be to put tenacity down on the boss.Potency is not really important after you've applied tenacity down. Speed is far more important. Actually speed is the only thing that matters (slow for KRU — fast for your TM removers).

"Vendi1983;c-1579156" wrote:@xXStR8_OwNiNXxYeah. Just because the longer term players have solo'd heroic Pit months and years ago doesn't mean newer players don't want to as well. It's an item on my to-do list and really look forward to accomplishing it.As I said above too, I don't have Thrawn but I did just get 7* BB8 this past week. Like you he's under geared and not leveled up.Is it worth having non-Empire toons under Zader other than Jyn/Bistan? They seem the most beneficial.Jyn/bistan are good even in an empire squad. If you're looking for a random toon that can help, FOO and Rex can do the job

Thanks for the help guys..Soloed it in 12 min on auto with Zader Zalp TFP Tarkin Thrawn

I'd suggest you use the stores to get Teebo. In the meantime: Zader (L), Palp, TFP, Tarkin, Thrawn.

Don’t use teebo for auto squads.

And ep or magma for the fifth

This thread has been really helpful as I'm aiming to accomplish the same. I don't have a 7* Thrawn yet, but basically the same team as the OP, but I have a 7* Jyn.

I was thinking of running:
zVader 200 spd
EP 200 spd
KRU (tanky tenacity down compared to TFP, who I also have) either at about 180 spd
Tarkin 175 spd
Jyn 190 spd

All my Empire guys have +60% potency and Jyn as well.

Will this work with everyone at G8-10?

Would TFP be better than KRU purely for the zVader leadership benefit? KRU also taunts/self-heals which is kind of a good tradeoff.

Do you have Bb8? He is awesome in a zVader led group.

Vader (L), TFP (mod w/ critical chance), Tarkin (mod w/ potency), Thrawn. Then between EP and Magma, it's completely up to you, though Magma hit like a wet noodle and Palpa hit hard and gives Offense Up as well, which make Culling Blade a burst that wipe out 40% of Rancor or more on crit when you topple him.

@Waqui

I had edited my post to ask exactly that prior to your response. So yes, TFP over KRU. Sounds good. Thanks for the advice guys!

I have bb8 but I just unlocked him so he's at gear level 7 and his abilities are only at 3. I just used a lot of stuff to Zeta Vader

So it sounds like I should Auto the pigs but use manual on the monster to ensure calling blade hits with the proper Buffs in place.. I was hoping with my gear levels that I could just run in and get it done in 10 minutes on auto

I'm glad this thread is useful to you. I know all of this is old news and most threads on heroic rancor are well over a year old.. most of the information doesn't even include the Vader and Palpatine reworks

Understood. He doesn't need to be geared that well, just there for ID. He unleashes Vader. 10 minute run below.
