I did the event at G11 on everyone but carth and juhani (G10 and G8 respectively). That phase was still a pain in the rear end.

So I got Unmasked Kylo Ren to Red gear level and then find out there are a dozen super long and grindy task left to unlock the Supreme Leader Kylo Ren event.

lmao.

Oh sweet little youngling, you know nothing of the pain of SLKR. (And Rey.)

Each requires 12 characters to have between 3 and 7 relic levels, as well as 5 stars on their factions new respective capital ship. (Which, if you haven’t spent any money or crystals on them, that last one won’t be possible until late this/early next month probably). In either case both also requires the two newest members of the faction (Hux/Redtrooper, NewFinn/NewPoe) who have all only been farmable since January at the earliest or, like, 2 weeks ago in the case of Poe. And also some of the most useless members of each faction (Rose, Old Poe, Resistance Pilot, Phasma, both FO Tie Pilots). Oh, and you need to relic both Vet Han for Kylo and Vet Chewie for Rey.


And then after that, it’s not over! Once you’ve unlocked the event, in order to actually get the character, you need to farm new dark side or light side event tickets (which can’t be farmed until you meet the prereqs). They drop at a fixed drop rate on any dark or light side node respectively, which means the best way to farm them is to waste energy on a useless 6 energy node with no good gear. It takes 420 of these tickets to run the event enough times for the 7 star unlock, assuming you never lose, but you should probably assume you’ll waste anywhere from 30 to 100 tickets. (Oh, and that drop rate is like 1/3. So if you do, say, 3x50 and 3x100 refreshes and only spend dark side energy, on a 6er, you’ve got, say, 40-50 tickets per day coming in max.)

Oh, and then it’s still not over. Because then, once you’ve geared up your shiny new supreme leader (kyrotechs more like kylotechs, and don’t even get me started on his stungun count), you’ll need another 120 tickets for event tiers 4 and 5, which have no rewards other than a title and a portrait, and allowing you to unlock a Tier 6. Which costs 70 tickets per run, and which you need to complete 10 times. (So, 700 tickets, but again, hard event, so more realistically, probably ~900-1100). Why do you need to do that? Because each character has an “Ultimate Ability” that requires ten “Ultimate Ability Materials” from tier 6 of their respective event to unlock. To say nothing of the fact that they both also have (read, need) six zeta abilities.

Holy poo poo. And I've faced him a few times in PVP matches too, so there are some serious whales out there.

And yea I think i'll keep focusing on getting Darth Revan and improving my Jedi Revan PVP team. Its Revan, Bastilla, Jolee Bindu, Hermit Yoda and Grand Master Yoda. I found my Sith/Empire Team of Palp, Vader, Thrawn, Sion and Nihlus was still doing okay, but it felt too old compared to what I was facing.

Dark side is p easy, just kill the side-bots forever until you have a gajillion stacks, then Drevan can gently caress malak up.

Light-side is a slog, though, here's a guide.

Lots of good info here, but he seems to be able to target the Stasis Fields, and unless I’m missing something, I can’t do that, and can only hit them with mass attacks. Was this changed at some point?

...a lot.

I tried. On more than one occasion. I swear. But knowing to aim higher than I think I should did the trick.

edit: Like, I decided that I just needed to try and use mass attacks with Zalbaar and JKR to slowly pick away at the stasis fields, and if I was lucky, and fed them enough turns, I could finish off one of them before he absorbed them. Once I was able to actually take out all 4, while occasionally taking out a robot here and there, so I get to the end and he has almost no buffs? My god, the world of difference.

I feel like an idiot for not knowing, but at least I have DM now. And I saved enough Zetas and other stuff that I have all his abilities fully upgraded and I have him at GL8 and one piece away from GL9. Though those stars will take a while.

You don't want to kill all the adds since the boss gets a big buff and mow down your team if you do that. That said, it gains bonus protection based on the number of allies, so you'll want to kill a few of them. The turrets do more damage, so kill those and one of the spider droids before focusing the boss. Use your fears to reduce incoming damage from the adds. Oddly enough I had more trouble on the 3/4 for that one since the marauders destroy your team if you get stuck behind taunt.

The problem i keep having in that part is that even with just one spiderdroid left, the boss droid still regens more armor than I can knock off. I can absolutely destroy the other 3 nodes but my damage seems to drop by a factor of 10 going into that last part.

The good news is that he is already useful at 5 stars on the right Sith team. Check my profile for how switching from a Jedi Revan team to a Darth Revan team, with a 5 Star Malek, took me from Arena rank 160 to Arena rank 80.

I find myself in an interesting place at the moment, in that I'm happy with my arena team (other than needing to farm Malek, which will take forever, and Relic everyone else, which is a specific farm), so I suddenly realize I can farm...whatever I want for a while. Sure, I should probably farm Seps to grab Padme, and I will a little bit, but I'm gonna spend to time to farm some teams I've been wanting to for a while now, but haven't had the time to.

With that in mind, I'm sure this question has been asked a ton, but google doesn't necessarily help because I don't know how old certain threads are and if they're up to date. What's the current best NS team? I know Talzin (L), Daka, Ventress. But after that, what? Is Zombie still the way to go? Talia? Or is Acolyte the 5th to round it out? Or is Spirit worth it instead?

Am I right that Initiate isn't worth a drat?
