    You don't need TFP if your Team is fast enought. Zader Lead TM reduction can't be resisted.

    Solo Phase 1 with Zader, EP , Sid, QGJ and Rex.

    Attack the Doorpanel and put your debuffs (Speed Down) on the Rancor.

    Then hit automode (only basics). Repeat this in Phase 3.

    What speed do you need on those toons to be effective.

    I recommend at least 180 Speed for each Toon.

    No Teebo can only reduce TM with his basic when he is cloaked. He need to be the leader to be effective in the Raid.

    QGJ is faster and his Basic can reduce TM if omegaed.

    Left by design.
    The fixed payout times are the worst part of this game and makes it absolutely family-unfriendly.

    How does Vader inflict speed down?

    Omegaed Force Crush inflicts Speed down but it's not really necessary if your Team ist fast enough.

    Good luck! :smiley:

    If you manage to beat the pigs you will have no problems with the rest of the raid. You can auto through the rest using basics.

    Just curious: how can you solo it? The rancor from time to time eats a character, he will eat the 5 before you kill him, or is there a way to avoid that?

    I could be wrong, as I've never done it, but I believe soloing the Rancor is all about turn meter reduction. The Rancor can't eat your characters if he never gets a turn.

    you're right, the rancor doesn't get to take a turn in the entire raid. The pigs usually get a hit or two in though.

    so zader+2 siths at 180+ speed + rex + qgj

    1 focus middle pig for reduction and get trough p1 force crush and aoe for dots often

    2 in p2 p3 and p4 in the begining cast force crush to inflict speed down then auto only with basic atacks

    the rancor doesen't get to hit with zader not even once. Don't be greedy- like me and cast blade because you will remove speed down and he will hit you

    I soloed it just now first time ever with only 4 toons - I lost 1 in p1 due to greed

    you don't need to triger the door just atack on auto with basics and he doesen't go in any phase

    zader=love++++

    TFP inflicts tenacity down which isn't needed for tm removal under zader, but you need it to inflict dots and speed down.

    I must have been going about this wrong then, ive not managed one yet (tend not to hit rancor as we let guys who havnt 7 han yet go FFA before the rest)
    I only really do test runs but really haven't got it working at all yet. Would just be nice to know I can do it if I ever need to lol

    Been running Zader (178 sp) sid (225) dooku (224) then emp and RG (both about 150) - is my issue purely because RG/emp aren't fast enough or is QGJ and rex better options??

    I'd say speed plays into it a lot. The other part of it is probably whether or not you use their specials ever... because you shouldn't.

    QGJ is faster and his Basic can reduce TM if omegaed.





    I disagree. I had more success with Teebo as an emergency TM reducer than with QGJ. With 4 sith/empire you're ok with Teebo just regular hitting most of the time, but he is great in P1, and a good clutch for the other phases, if RNG causes TM to heap up on Rancor.

    Better have good speed mods if you're not using tfp...

    E: one other thing: without TFP, the TM reduction of QGJ and Teebo can be resisted... and even more vital: so can speed down. So not sure how doable it is without TFP.

    I agree. He is a good emergency toon for phase 1 but it's all about basic automode if yo manage to get to phase 2. From this point on, teebo is absolutely useless and outclassed by QGJ.

    RG is too slow and EP is way too slow. Try to get EP above 180, and RG in the 160 range. Also make sure your speed down is sticking. If not, you need more potency on Vader or TFP. Or 30% more speed across the board ;)

    Potency on TFP!? oO
    Why? Its usefull for his AOE but there is no need for this against the rancor.
    Tenacy down from his basic can't be resisted if he hit critical.

    There was a comma missing there: you need potency on Vader, or you need TFP.

    Yeah - when I started to look at it more they are a fair bit below the others, I don't use them for arena or anything so they only tend to get 2nd rate speed mods lol

    Is running QGJ and/or rex in there instead viable? im farming TFP as I think he's prob the answer to this with his speed
