I remember looking up whether I should get one zeta or another for a toon and one of the videos I clicked on was like 15 minutes. What the gently caress could you possibly talk about for 15 minutes regarding a single toons zeta abilities?

At least one of the videos I watched was 20 minutes of discussing mods on GM Yoda. Another was how to organize your favorites, another 20 minutes.

This is probably YouTube's algorithms fault.

Yeah, I'm really not a fan of these events where the AI team starts with 100% turn meter, since it turns into a restart-fest until you get an opening salvo that you can survive.

Apparently it's possible to do without Bossk or any Zetas:

Even with my arena mods on my BH and a zeta G12 Bossk lead, I still couldn't beat it after 5 or 6 tries :(

Confirmed winning strat, beat it first go @5* with a pretty lame team. Got lucky and didn't lose anyone on the first "turn", nuked down Chewie and got lucky again with detonators sticking

They ran this way back in the winter last year, around December. I wonder if it'd be worth buying one to see if they'd still honour it (providing there's no until date on the fine print of the card). Those rewards are really good considering you don't need to spend a dime of the gift card on the game -- I bought two of those when it was up.

I swore last year was JTR. Am I just incredibly high?

JTR is a legendary event (Well a "hero's journey" event) and would absolutely not come from a promotional purchase.

7* zBossk and 4x G11+ BH's isn't a guarantee for an easy win on this BH event

I highly recommend zBossk/Boba/Dengar +2. Cad Bane is an easy pick because of his ship, maybe IG-88 too, but he's really bad in the event. Greedo or Zam would be better in the 5 hole.

By way of sharing thresholds for 7*:
G12 zBossk
G12 Cad
G11 ig88
G11 greedo
G11 boba

Took about 3 hrs of attempts and a pretty good modified arena set (mostly speed, but potency crosses on all the debuffers plus cc on greedo). Tons of potency definitely helped under zBossk once i survived the opening salvo.

I was able to 7* chewie with no Bossk

Boba G12 276 spd/70.68% potency
Dengar G11 216 spd/75% potency
Cad Bane G10 186 spd/74.09% potency
Greedo G11 203 spd/83% potency
Zam G11 212 spd/101% potency

It took 3+ hrs as well and who knows how many attempts. I had to like 1v3 with Boba at the end vs R2/Rolo/Lando. The key was getting 3 thermal dets on Chewie, who blew up to low enough health that I could execute him with Boba and get BH resolve back. The next hurdle was killing Han, and again Dets were key here because he had 1 on him which allowed dengar basic to call assist on him and I think I ended up executing him as well or maybe just basic attacking him.

Once I got payout Boba was able to hold off everyone else. Killed Rolo->Lando->R2.

Can't really stress enough how bad IG88 is here. Just... fuckin' don't. If you've got any other BH to G8+ and 7*, just use them.

I went straight for lando and managed to get PO when I killed him, stunning Chewie when able.

sometimes have fun checking out weird min/max mod options on this site https://mods-optimizer.swgoh.grandivory.com/
whats the most health/prot I can get on my sion?

130k combined? not bad

how about just pure defense?

52% armor? anyone know how exactly held by hatred/pain work? does it make mods into account bc 300% of that 52.3% armor seems hilarious and those mods have a lot of room for growth

best speed on fastest character?

I wonder what kind of cosmic coincidence all those players that got Chewie at 7* with those "low" geared no zeta teams experienced.

Im doing what everyone else with such teams (G12 Boba, G11 Greedo, G10 Zam and Cad, G9 Dengar) do and have hyperstacked potency on them.
After 2 hours of attempts i have yet to even get past Chewie's protection.

seriously it's just confluence of events. you need a couple of dets to land on chewie and for the right ppl to be alive and for boba to crit when you attack chewie and confirm the kill. keep trying it's seriously some of the most hosed up rng bs in the game yet

Yeah, you need the following conditions to happen:

-Chewie needs to start the fight with pulverize, but not target Boba or Dengar, but needs to crit dengar (to stealth Dengar)
-R2 needs to try to stealth, instead of single target or use his fire skill (stealth is prevented by a stealthed Dengar)
-Boba needs to crit with his execute on Chewie and the debuff needs to land
-The incoming round of enemy attacks needs to be spread so that Boba, Greedo and Cad survives
-A few of the following needs to happen:
---Greedo needs to land his TD on Chewie
---Zam needs to land her TD on Chewie
---Cad needs to stun Chewie
---Dengar needs to shoot a debuffed Chewie and trigger an assist
-Boba (probably) needs to get a multi attack on Chewie, which now needs to die. Here is where things get murky but you kinda want Chewie to go first to trigger the TDs so that Boba can get the killshot on him and refresh his extra life mechanic, if he -goes before Chewie and Chewie dies to the TDs Boba does not get kill credit)
-You now have 1 round of attacks to down Han and get the contract while still having a few dudes left, and congrats now the event starts to look manageable.

zzJTR/zzR2/zzBB8/RT/Scav Rey is the P1 HSTR team.

JTR/R2/BB8/GK +1 (Scav/Nest/RT/CLS/Chopper) is a common TW/Arena build

JTR/R2/BB8/L3/IG88 is the new JTR/Droids hotness.

I use the JTR CORE (JTR/R2/BB8) for a lot of poo poo in light-side TB. It's a very easy quad to do the special missions that aren't rebel specific like day 6. Rolo has to lead, but JTR/BB8/R2/GK works fine for clearing the AT-ST.

R2 is great in general and for several teams but BB8 brings out JTR's strengths. Zeta her leader first.

The real downside with JTR is now I have a practically worthless Finn and Poe.

Id say rjt lead, then bb8 roll with punches, then r2 uniques. rjt uniques are good but mainly for pvp, dont make a huge difference in raids

with just rjt lead and bb8 rwp you can solo phase 4 HAAT and do decent damage in 6* str
