Thanks for the guide. I had already watched it, but I foolishly decided to try the mission once with my standard mods to see what it was like. That went as well as you'd expect, but the next 3 attempts with your modding went nice and smooth.
Thanks, this guide really helped! Did it without the ROLO zeta and 2x Tenacity & 1x Health mod set on Han and 2x Potency & 1x Tenacity on ROLO (both with Crit Avoidance). Worked like a charm even though I lost ROLO once, good thing Han can revive!
Thanks for taking the time to solve this. Although some have still had bad RNG, I went 6-6 across two accounts (just finishing my Alt tonight). This was a huge time and resource saver. Thanks again
Thank you, Xaereth! Tier 2 is really no joke! Even with your guide, it can be tough if those exposes and AB don't land often enough, but thanks to your help, I'm getting through it. Appreciate your work, as always!
Yeah I'm 0 for 5 with this garbage, even following this guide, and another one I found. Seriously...I'm getting a bit sick of the game, now, because I refuse to dump a ton of money into it, like I know the devs want.
Thanks for making this video! Very smooth on the first attempt with no one die. Landed AB on DV few times. 2nd attempt I lost C3PO and Han revived C3PO. Couldn't land any AB on DV. 3rd attempt I lost Leia and Han revived her. Appreciate the help! What a game lol
I truly don’t understand how people are getting such a high success rate with this guide. I followed the mod suggestions: 3 tenacity sets and a crit avoid arrow on Han. 2 tenacity sets, 1 potency set, potency cross, and a crit avoid arrow on ROLO. All 6 dot mods with tenacity and potency secondaries where I could get them. First attempt, ROLO got killed by Vader after she only took one turn, despite having the crit avoid arrow on her. 3PO also died before Han got a chance to do any revives. So far, I’ve had 5 fails and 1 success. All the fails are a variation of me barely making a dent against Vader because I wasn’t landing enough exposes and then ROLO or 3PO dying while Han was ability blocked so I couldn’t revive them. I only started to make better progress when I swapped out tenacity for a second potency set on ROLO per another guide. Even then, my one successful run was touch and go. This is an RNG nightmare.
This is how I feel. I'm 1-7 now. I still regularly get crit. All the potency I can muster I barely ever land an expose. Given that Tenacity doesn't seem to do anything for me, I'm contemplating saying screw this and going entirely Potency mods.
Xaereth, you the man! Lost four in a row and then re-modded for more potency on Leah - took off some speed and managed to get my final 3rd win. Was getting really frustrating being 1 win away from finishing tier 2.
Following this strategy, getting 1/3 wins at best. Mods aren’t as good, but they’re not that different. No zeta on ROLO, though. I’d rather gnash my teeth for a few days than waste one of those, especially now that I only need one more win.
Bro you saved my life. I played it once and got wrecked. I thought we were getting another impossible event that would take 20+ attempts. Got it 3 times in a row thanks to you!
Thanks again for the video X as always. Helped my alt now. I tried watching some other channels, and they just did not cut it trying to hit specific targets, etc. Just followed your guide now for the alt and easy as can be. Cheers/
Hey Xaereth! Thank you as always for the time you put into this. I've failed tier 2 twice now (I'm definitely to blame for not investing in enough 6 dot tenacity mods) but is ROLO's zeta really necessary? +10% offense and some stacking offense doesn't seem like it would be a huge help when most of the damage is done through exposes...what am I missing? Does it really make that much of a difference?
This is 2 months later, just started leia event, watched this, modded as you said, lost the first 2 then won the next 3 comfortably. Got bad break in first Vader killed C3PO first , 2nd time kept doing leia special instead of basic when Vader had expose, 3rd time onwards just did leia special in start then focused on basics and won 3 in a row. Thanks for the help.
thank you -- had a fail for not taking it seriously. took time to find mods to get close to your stats, but it paid off -- only reliable vid for Tier 2 right here, you are the man
Thanks man! Did they change the requirements? I only had to beat this tier 3 times and I went 3 for 3 using this guide. Only fight 2 got dicey as I lost 3po but quickly revived him. Awesome stuff, thanks.
I know this is an old video, but im not understanding why you want potency on capt han at all. Unless Im missing something, his basic is the only thing he does that should be affected by potency and it cant be resisted by empire enemies, which the enemies in this battle all are. Why potency?
I’d heard so much bad stuff about this tier. Watched your guide and modded similarly. Managed to get 3/3 so I never have to do that again! Thanks for your help
Just got it without the zeta! 3x in a row. I only have 100 zetas with Leia and jkck right around the corner and didn't want to waste any. Followed your mods and coasted thru. I got in the yellow with Han once of the three but it felt safe. The ability block feels a bit overrated. Not that you were making a big deal of it but it's one turn. Vader is still going to MM either way. Anyways, keep prevailing!
1-3 so far with this mod setup, not sure if I will stick with this. Feels VERY RNG influenced with expos and being crit or not. Events like this really ruin the gaming experience for me. Update April 24th - Changed ROLO's mods to focus on potency (left CA arrow on), left Han's setup based on Xaereth's recommendation and won the next two battles handily.
Thanks for the video, I re-modded and had every single toon characteristic higher than the ones in your video but OMG I haven’t been so frustrated with this game since the GAS Event. Six losses to get three wins!!!!! Without this video it could have been much worse. 3 times straight off the bat Vader killed my Captain Han with Health 80k Protection 50k!!!!! Unbelievable RNG fest, thanks a lot CG 😡
Kept relic 5 and modded as well as I could, got the tenacity/potency set ups like you do and one crit avoid arrow on Leia but I just get destroyed every time. Closest I got was Vader on half health.
I also found potency in around 110-120% helps keep those exposes going and then tenacity on top was what worked best for me. Wish i had this before i failed a few times
Very helpful. I had only one weird fail where they focused Rolo in the 1st round, then she went down early in 2nd round and I just couldn't get back in it.
I guess I just dont have the mods. I leave Vader at half HP and then he starts blowing my Leia and C3PO off and then they all die. Its been 10 times I've failed and two times I've won, and those times I won I've just been lucky. I appreciate the tips but it is a Mod check and I just dont have what's required. I find these types of events so annoying. 6 months grinding all the required characters and then its not enough and you now need to grind for energy and RNG, unless you have god mods.
Followed your guide and in my first run I actually lost Han and still managed to kill off Vader. He kept evading and missed out on some hits to exploit Exposes. Kind of annoying, but managed somehow.
This strategy works. It can even be less on the mods. Gotta kill Vader (offense) and not get 1 shot by him (defense) . Landing ability block is locking the win in (potency).
I talked about it in the vid I believe. Basic causes an expose, which is your primary source of damage, and cleansing him and Leia with the special also boosts DV if you have DOTs.
Over 100% potency, nice and fast, don't use Han's specials until Vader down. That seemed to work really well. Even when ability block didn't land and Vader killed Han, Leia still finished him and then the guards.
I lost 3 times in a row. Mods were pretty much same as yours, a bit more speed. I managed to get through this after putting more potency on ROLO. Lack of ability blocks has been killing me.
Omfg 1 loss and then 3 in a row W 😅 thanks for the video... last battle was soooooo sweaty lost leia revived then lost c3 but somehow managed to pull W
He gets waaaaay more debuffed with even a little less tenacity. And then Vader's cull destroys him. Max Tenacity plus the CA arrow are the best combo by far after all my testing.
well, mine didn't go as well as the others here... mods arent that far off (20 less speed.... 10% less tenacity... more health) there were 7 deaths total my first run... lots more on other runs... han is surprisingly ability blocked more often than i'd like (168%) i guess people shouldn't be as scared to heal liberally w/ han... esp when vader has full health? i probably could have kept others alive??? ended up 2/4... and i'm pretty salty that i can't ever go one of these events perfectly without dropped tickets :( leia doesn't hit nearly hard enough w/ 6200 offense thanks tho... prob would have been 0/4 without this EDIT.... ran another one this morning..... went in confident.... obliterated again. now 2 wins 3 losses.... han is constantly ability blocked w/ 168% tenacity.... everyone dies .... EDIT 2 oh my god....... i didn't have rolo zeta on dauntless .... or cholo zeta... (didn't even look at my ROLO kit cuz i knew i had her lead zeta'd) and didn't even catch the "zeta needed" like 6 times that i watched this video before
