After the recent fixes to Zader's leadership, I decided to make a detailed guide on how to still clear the rancor in this rundown video. I go over the history of Darth Vader in the raid, why you should run Zader over Teebo teams, the team to use, the mods to run, and give tips & strategies to be successful. Good luck to everyone and happy raiding!

    I'm personally glad that you're not particularly gaining anything from my video for obvious reasons.

    Good vid, another way to do it. I'm currently running Zader, TFP, Magma R2 and Teebo. R2 and Teebo need a smidge more speed but I can just about solo it with that combination as well.

  • Very helpful video! Guess I ought to finally pop the zeta on vader. Keep up the good work!

    ShoreTrooper?! You fiend! I'm slowly farming him 9B. I got another year or so before I can use him in Heroics.
  • The devs have said that tenacity down being irresistible is WAI, pretty sure on that.

    Seems to be the case. They def need to change the way the ability reads because it's not immediately obvious.

    That could work well too. Good luck! =)

    TFP only needs to crit to land Tenacity Down. You're better off with a critical chance triangle to increase chances of Tenacity Down on Rancor while on Auto. Although it is not explicitly stated, Tenacity Down is supposed to counter Tenacity Up, and would make 0 sense if it had to pass through a Tenacity check to land...
  • Man, those Zeta Vader bugfixes really killed him, didn't they. He's so pathetic now. Not even slightly viable as a Rancor leader. They need to refund those zetas right now or the world will literally erupt into flame all at once.

    (sarcasm)
  • Soloing the Rancor is a simple math equation. Turn Meter reduction is all that matters. Teebo plus TFP plus R2 is the boring way yes. But claiming zader is doing the work when Jyn is the clutch player is misleading.

    Yes Teebo teams take twice as long because they don't hit for 10-15%++ per culling blade. Zader still does his damage but his TM reduction is less consistent hence requiring the help of Jyn Erso (I Rebel).

    But your entire video ignores the huge huge huge impact she has. She could basically be on any TM control team and solo it. I was really hoping for something clever or smart or useful for my Zader team but I'll stick with Teebo plus auto plus put phone down or Zader plus bonus TM reduction and watch Game of Thrones

    You could also run CC triangle. CD will help you clear faster I believe. I got his CC up to 52% in this video.

    Wow many thx
  • Jyn can solo p1 on auto, and p4 too. Main issue is rancor devour in p2/3.

    Posts like this say more about you than make any valid point. I'm sure if people click your profile they will see all the things you've added for the community right?

    My Jyn is still 6* therefor I can not use her on heroic. Solo is still possible I have found with Zader, TFP, R2, Teebo and Rex as long as you have at least 2 potency mods on Teebo

    @NukinFTW great work man and thanks for the info, I got one question though... Does Jyn's potency stack reset between phases?
  • Loved the video. I'm trying to build a zVader Rancor team. As a f2p, I need the "why" more than the "who." This was a great help.

    @Sawyerstooth Appreciate it! Eventually even as a F2P you'll have an extra zeta laying around. I totally recommend Vader.

    Good vid, Nukin.

    Ignore the haters. Every post on the forum attracts at least one snarky comment from people who are obviously soooooo much better than the rest of us.

    Just keep up the good work. Always quality stuff.

    thx 4 sharing @NukinFTW

    I have had a difficult time finding a team to do more 8+million damage in Heroic Pit raids since the rework
    Vader, Palp, Sid, TFP, Rex = 2.3mil
    Vader, Jyn, Teebo, Rex, QGJ = 5.7mil
    Vader, Palp, TFP, Jyn, Rex = 6.9mil
    Vader, Palp, Sid, Jyn, Rex = 7.2mil

    Test Runs no score, lose 3 characters by Phase X
    Vader, Palp, Jyn, Teebo, R2 = Phase 2
    Vader, Palp, Sid, Rex, QGJ = Phase 3
    Teebo, Jyn, Wedge, Rex, Phasma = Phase 3
    Teebo, Jyn, Rex, TFP, Phasma = Phase 3
    Teebo, Jyn, Rex, QGJ, Phasma = Phase 2

    Vader teams speed is 200+
    Jyn speed 244

    Do not want to gear a new team that dev are going to rework, current, Tarkin 5* G5 need omegas, Shoretrooper 4* G10 need omegas, Magmatrooper 7* G7 need omegas

  • Thank you so much for the video! You did an awesome job laying out all of the components to making it work... I have all of these characters at G11 and I hope to be able to get back to my soloing ways soon!
