There is another trick. use the taun of sun fac at the end of the round. When the round is over he loses his taunt and then all others get the buffs at the start of the next round!
I'll always call poggle for that reason. I don't really care about big damage from calling brute since the enemies hit like wet noodles when they're ability blocked
You can use the droid factory ability even when Brute is up. It won't call the rocket trooper but it will remove all enemy buffs and give Seperatist allies 50% turn meter.
While listening to you, I just passed the Wat event for the very first time! Will be unlocking Wat after this battle is over. You helped me to not stress about this battle, Thank You!!!
Happy to help you through it. It's such an easy battle but I think a lot of people panic play it when they lose. My guide should prevent any real panic moments haha
So watching this and then implementing some of these tips helped me get this done. Our guild of course has been getting much stronger over the last year so we are definitely at the point we're getting Wat shards now. Having the platoons filled goes a long ways. That said, I managed this with G11/G12 Geos which really surprised me. I did a lot of mod moving which was able to help a lot and close the gap . I was excited to have gotten it completed though. The fact that the mods helped this much means a lot.
I know I’m like 4 months late on this, but another recommendation I would make, is to finish round 2 and 3 with calling the droid. Even though he doesn’t appear (as long as you have Brute on the field) you will receive 50% tm, so you will start the next round with high tm on your entire team ;)
I was able to complete the mission with G12 GBA, G12 Spy, G11 Sun Fac, G11 Soldier, and G11 Poggle. This guide was the key to my success! Thanks for the video!
1 Placement: Soldier 3rd or 4th spot. Poggle in 5th slot. 2 Ability Block on AoE's (Sergeant) & Sharp Shooters. 3 Take out Medic right away. 4 Take out Barriss right away. 5 Spy can also take toons out of Stealth. ('Illicit Intel') 6 Use Basics to finish out rounds. 7 Ability Blocks on ARC Troopers as well. 8 Ability Block Mundi & Windu. Kill after Medic. 9 Use Blind on Jedi if no Ability Block. 10 Leave Ponds for last.
I was the 1000th thumb up! I came here to share this video with my guild. You helped me beat the event last go. Thank you. This is the definitive Wat Mission video.
DB! Thanks so much for making this guide. You made it super simple and straightforward and I finally managed to clear it for my guild for the first time, and I've had my Geos at g12 for ages now. Thanks so much
You're welcome mate. I would've made this A LOT sooner but just assumed everyone was beating easily. Wasn't until my guild kept saying they found it hard, that I made the guide for everyone :) glad it helped you out dude
This video is the best Wat mission video out there. Easy to follow. I just watch it every time before I do the Wat mission, and I get my Wat shards every time. Great job on this!
Just wanted to give you a huge shout out bro, your video was a huge help just as the Malak video was. I ended up taking my GBA and Spy to R4 just to have them viable in GAC and I didn't have enough omegas to put on all my toons so I figured taking them up to relic was playing it safe. Again, just wanted to give you major props for the video and all of the content you put out to help out the SWGOH community! Keep up the great work brother!
congrats on the kid mate, enjoy the sleepless night hahaha. I'm lucky very deep sleeper didn't wake up once, my poor girlfriend is a very light sleeper, she was up like every other hour and when she is in a bad mood she stops talking so no grief. It was the most peaceful year and a half of my life. My Gf works days I work evenings teaching (I work in Thailand) when I work its 6-8 in the week and all day weekend. I look after her in the day time play abit then put her in front of the TV watching cosmos on repeat ( she loves watching it) I think its just all the different colours, but don't care she's quiet. Anyway enjoy it mate having a kid is amazing,, in my case probably more so for me than my GF
Haha bless your girlfriend, sounds a lot like Tali. She wakes easily and I don't. Dom also usually associates her with feeding time and is very fussy when I try. I largely just take night duty, watching over the family while everyone sleeps as I'm a night owl anyway haha
Nice video mate, I shared it with my guild and definetly helped. One little suggestion with soldier: don’t mod him with potency, tenacity down can’t be resisted. Crit chance and offense do the trick.
I was always unsure on if it could be or not. Never got a straight answer from CG lol. In that case of mod 6x Crit Chance to maximise the amount of turn meter he gets everytime he crits :) that's what I mentioned I was planning to do aswell, as I'm sure my mods on him are from early 2017 😂
DBofficial125 x6 crit chance is also a good choice. A CC and a CD or offense sets are the standard if you have good CC secondaries. A quick tip to check out the tenacity down mechanic is to do hk bombs against padme, you will note that even if they have prot up the tenacity down sticks, even when they resist all debuffs.
Yeah it doesn't make a difference in my testing. I've heard some talk about how it'll remove foresight so the enemy can't avoid tenacity down, but it doesn't as Spy's basic can't be evaded, so it doesn't remove it and the extra benefit is only given to Spy in his next turn anyway. The only key ones are Fac second and Poggle last.
One problem with lower gear bugs is if you draw Anakin in wave 4. If he gets AoE off before you can ability block, you probably lose Soldier, Spy, and Poggle. Even if you do land AB, GK taunts and GK/Padme cleanses make it hard to keep ability block. But Anakin only comes up a fraction of the time.
with near full tm going in, Poggle called by Soldier and good potency, you're almost 100% likely to be safe. Just depends if people remember to monitor tm going into wave 4
Much respect for this one bro. I managed to clear 3 waves and nearly the 4th with my woefully undergeared bugs. Next time around I'll clear i'm pretty sure. I'm poor as fuck right now, but once I have some extra I'll try and tip you somehow.
haha no worries mate, glad the strategy has shown you some hope. My brother managed with a very low gear Brood and we've had some others succeed regularly with full G11. Keep building and get those shards ;)
Problem is if you enter last phase with low TM on your team, then Sargent pushes it further back on aoe, phonds slows and your in big trouble, possibly a dead bug/s till you get going. Also poggles ability block is liability, CG should just change it to 100% to avoid TB frustrations(atm its 80% chance to apply with 15% chance to be resisted even with tenacity down). That bein said g12 should be fine, ~95% of the time
I always come back to this vid to refresh myself on who to attack first. Thanks for the pointers. i earned 3 wat shards for my guild so far. Also i think they shuffled up phase 3 & 4 now its not the same as your vid
Happy to help mate :) G11 can add some rng due to softness (missing one ability block or something) but get a few to G12 and you'll never have to worry.
:( :( Following your advice I got wrecked with a R4 GBA, G12.5 on all other Geos, and GOD MODS!!! Seriously, +178 speed on GBA, insane damage on Spy, etc. You said to ignore Ponds over and over and saved him for last. Turned out, he wrecked me in 1 hit. His AoE dazed my whole squad and flat out killed 2 who were at full health and still had protection. You really might want to revise that "ignore ponds" position.
No worries mate. Yeah always be super careful as ARC is a Bug killer for sure. His kit is literally anti-Geonosian and MUST be ability blocked. Sarge is a secondary issue do to the aoe weakening the health recovery pool (hence ability blocking him) and then the one that stealth has Armor Shred which really hurts Brute's survivability
Thats a good shout, my Bugs are largely still modded the way they were before their reworks, definitely going to have a look at fine tuning them this week.
This video was fabulous and I also learned a lot in the comments, so thank you all for that. The only thing I kind of disagree with is that I like having my Geo Brood relic’d, because it increases his health and protection as well as that of the Brute, making it harder to kill them both. It also helps increase the shared health pool of the entire Geo team. But I get the point you make, you don’t have to do this.
You're welcome mate :) Yeah OPTIMAL would be so powerful that strategy barely matters, but people tend to come to me for minimal gear/slow mods related guides, as I'm the only big F2P creator. I'd love a relic Brood and Spy myself but I just can't put them ahead of GL requirements and other top toons atm unless I win the lottery haha
Got this recommendation just AFTER i did this mission, got defeated at stage 3 but will definitly do this for next one. Remodded and ready, also went with CC sets on soldier because of the awesome tm gain. Don't have quite the offence on sun fac though, how important is it or can it be done without?
Jumping in after 30 seconds, I'm looking forward to gearing up my bugs a bit more 😅 maybe it's because I have a lack of counters to them but I enjoy putting even my puny ones down in GAC so when I can actually spend some time on them it'll be "fun" ☺️ as you were...
Ah not to worry. Spy being overgeared helps in fleet a bit. Brood being overgeared helps in that over Special Mission the bugs have. Happy to help you start the Wat shard farming :)
@@DBofficial125 thanks again, bugs are also useful in TW, atleast on my level they are lol but still would rather of saved those relic mats and furnaces
Oh its not fun but thats why you gotta keep specific moves available. I never play Brood's revival special so if Mace slaps Brute, I just rez right away.
I had similar mods all G12 I lost one geo before I even got my first turn. I’ll have to double check my mods again but pretty sure they were pretty close to the same as your video.
Weirdly on my most recent run the AI got several turns before I moved too, never happened before so was a little thrown by that myself. Possible stealth buff to the mission?
The basics are the keys to their kits. Basics heal Bugs protection aswell as being the key moves. Brood & Fac remove enemy buffs, Poggle ability blocks, Soldier inflicts tenacity down so Poggle doesn't need potency, and lastly Spy's gives crit chance for more tm AND can't be evaded. You very rarely need the specials
Are the bugs really not a staple on many rosters for GAC here in late May, 2020 (2 mos after this vid)? In 3v3, they're certainly a load as even JKRs may be beaten by them, and Padme's will timeout, etc. 🤷♂️
Quite a few tweaks that need to be done. Not a single Sun Fac taunt. Your spy 'big hit' you seem to forget that is a buff and debuff cleanse for your enemy. Spy cleansing those taunts with his big hit make him a tank killer. More often than not you want call the assist for poggle's cleanse on Spy>Soldier>Alpha>SF.
It's not that I'm forgetting at all, I use them as my arena squad on an alt and play them very differently, it's that none of that is remotely needed in this special mission. In fact a Fac taunt at 12.0 is a HUGE risk and often leads to him dying and reducing the overall health equalization. Calling Spy over Poggle for more damage instead of more Ability Block is ideal to speed up kills as long as the key toons are blocked. And waiting around for toons to be loaded up for Spy is pointless if they're shutdown and easy to kill anyway. No need to take any risks when underpowered as things can and will turn on their heads.
I did mention using Poggle to remove debuffs can be handy in a comment below, I believe I do it in a later wave. It's just not needed in the first 2 really,you're not gonna die there so don't waste time.
Actually i did the wat tambor mission and failed in wave 3! Just now! With better mods than you have! Every move i made was in the direct order as you did. The key is the Hellfire tank! That you didn't mantion in the vid... If you don't have a LEVEL 3 hellfire tank, this is mission is screwd UP! In case we have only Level 2 hellfire, and my Geos are much more gear-ed up than yours, you definetly needs Relics or without relics at least the minimum the LVL3 hellfire tank thats the FUNDAMENTUM of all!
That's honestly not needed. You can use it to open a battle get tenacity down and make it easier to stick Ability Block, but Soldier sticks Tenacity down anyway so I rarely use it. What exactly went wrong for you? All your ability blocks were sticking right? Copying my turn order won't matter if the purpose of those moves isn't sticking. My 5th division guild in my alliance doesn't fill Hellfire and has guys with G10 Brood beating the mission
Welp. I tried this and then RNG gave me Shaak Ti and Luminari at the end. Shaak dispelled the taunt and then Luminari somehow 1 shot my G13 poggle. Game over. :(
@@DBofficial125 Yea same here. Though it did work last time. This time was just a different team all together... First thing i noticed was that there were no bariss in second encounter. Then Mace was in third and last were shaak and luminara. All backed up by arc/sharpshooter/medic and all the other usual clones. But no KAM whatsoever
In phase 1!? Jebus, pop in my discord and stream it with me monitoring next time, I'm curious what went wrong. People literally do this with G9 Brood time and time again aha
@@DBofficial125 I couldn’t believe it. My guild mates couldn’t believe it either lol. I was just shocked! I’ll jump on your discord and share next time. Thanks.
Same here. I completed it in Feb but lost P1 in both Mar and Apr. They took an insane amount of turns before I got a chance. I do need to gear up a bit but it seems like CG may have buffed up the mission a bit.
@@Thunder564pc I admittedly took a lot more hits than usual in this current run but hadn't noticed anything in previous months. I'll see how it is next time, could just be some smart AI stuns and tm boosts
It's not, there are two versions of Wave 3 and 4, smashes both. The only real difference is Mace in Wave 3 (easier) or 4 (the harder but still done with G9 Brood and 11-12 Bugs every run by my brother)
If you summon B1, you can't summon Brute. But if Brute is already there, it's worth using the B1 ability to finish off wave 3 - it gives the team a TM bump heading into wave 4.
@@brian7333 If you have the droid factory platoon at level 2, the summon droid ability also gives +50% TM to separatists (at level 3, you also get droid allies reset their cooldowns). The idea is to use it while Brute is there. You won't get a droid, but you do get the TM bump. If you use it to end a phase, you're near guaranteed to go first next phase.
@@darthyoda868 thank you mate. I waited till 35 to have a baby as I never saw myself as the fatherly type back in my 20's, I lived very selfishly as a fighter etc, but I absolutely love it :)
@@DBofficial125 changed my life forever the age of 24! For the better of course. I was def living for myself up until that point. 11 years later and I couldn't ask for a better kid! Cheers to the health baby and a happy mama lol
I was sceptical too, until I filmed in 120 fps and watched it back 1 frame at a time. The game does appear to register the attacks (as seen by buff loss and debuffs) in the exact order. Spy and Soldier don't matter though. I believe CG confirmed its coded that way too right?
@@DBofficial125 if you mean in the Q&A they wrote that its more complicated to explain, so they dont want us know what else makes the different. Maybe they dont have any clue too like us 😅
