It's an incredible pain. I mean, being challenging is one thing, but when I can have several G11 characters blasting away at a single taunting soldier for multiple turns and somehow never kill him in wave 3, something feels wrong. They gave these rebels so much healing, protection recovery, and cleansing that I have doubts that even maxing out characters will make the fights that much more winnable.
Considering that such god rebels have insane health and protection recovery, cleanse, alternate taunt, multiple combo bonus attacks... and they use the air attack SEVERAL TIMES IN A SINGLE WAVE (during LS TB we can use it only once, choosing the perfect moment....),
then my conclusion is that is simply impossible to complete these fights if Devs don't make them "human level" instead of "gods level".
Today in 3 fights I did:
- 2/4 (Z Vader G12, Z Thrawn g11, Palpatine g11, pilot g11, shoretrooper g10)
- 1/4!! Z Phasma g11, Z Kylo g12, pilot g11, Officer and Stormtrooper g9... ok but...1/4!!! In the second wave the rebels made FOUR air attacks in a row! Only Kylo remained alive vs 3 elite, which continued to recover health and protection, Kylo recovered protection.... after 10 minutes of steady state I was bored and abandoned...
- 1/4 with mixed but fine team Z Sidious g12, Nihilus g10, Boba g10, Savage g10, Ig88 g11... again: they were not the strongest team in the world, but...1/4!!??

It doesn't help that platoons have characters that aren't even farmable.
I can't say enough that there should be no mode that requires characters that aren't farmable. It really makes me not care enough about the mode to try to do well because it's impossible.
But yes, I was nowhere near doing the same with my sith and I expect no more than 2 waves with my FO in the last CM. DS TB is a challenge which I welcome. It gives a great motivation for developing my DS roster.

I'm fine with big spenders having an advantage. It's all good.
No one in my guild has beaten all four battles in the combat missions yet. Not even the whales with gear 12 teams and super mods.
WAI?
I completed 2 of 3 last time. This time I completed 1 with my 3rd DS team that has 1 G12 character (Thrawn) and only 4 secondary speed mods over 5 on the whole team (Maul/Palpatine/Nihilus/Thrawn/Kylo). I had to donate Talzin as well as Shore and DT to platoons which ruined my G12 NS and Empire teams. I have no doubts they would have breezed through their battles if given the chance, given they did so last time and have had no issues up to this point.

Actually it would give the whole guild an advantage in TB. The point is having to buy packs or chromiums in order to fill platoons is just sleazy. It makes TB a P2W event.
And when it comes to Luke and Chimaera, both of which are required for special missions, you can't even throw money at them since they're not farmable period unless their events are active a few times a year.

As far as CLS and Chimaera go, both of which are needed for special missions, you can't even throw money at them since they're not farmable period unless their events are active a few times a year.
Gear 12 teams here, fully Zeta’d and very good mods, in fact two of my characters in a team were max gear, and they got smashed, totally unbalanced game.
4/4 on all days - used elements of the same teams noted below ... also added full NS team on days 5/6 and they got 4/4 both times as well. Having a viable non-Empire / Sith heavy team frees up a lot of space for platooning characters - I gave up Thrawn and a zeta DK on day 6 for platoons. Working on FO now. If you have G11 / 12 teams with zetas and strong mods I'd recommend studying the enemies very close - it's difficult to just outmuscle these Rebels.

My dark side roster is relatively weak. Nevertheless I completed all 4 waves with only medium difficulty in one mission using:
Thrawn lead, TFP, Vader, RG and shoretrooper. Luckily I didn't have to put them in platoons. As you can see, the gear and mods is nothing fancy:
