DS TB is extremely hard compared to LS TB in contrast to the events during the battle of Hoth in ESB! Factors that hamper progress and prevent guilds from winning more stars are:
- Empire faction roster twice as small compared to the Rebel one and lacking more healers/cleansers.
- The high requirements of empire characters, critical for battles, for unlocking Imperial Strategic Abilities or destroying Rebel Strategic Abilities.
- Facing off against a number of OP rebels with strong healing/cleansing synergies on all Phases, that make the Imperial Strategic Abilities irrelevant.
- The insanely powerful Rebel Strafing Run ability compared to the weak Imperial Orbital Bombardment ability (Rebel airspeeders more powerful than Imperial Star Destroyers???)

I have no issues with DSTB. Except those bounty hunter missions. I’m not keen on leveling up mostly horrible toons.
The Empire faction having less units because the rebels natrually have a higher percentage of individual heroes compared to generic units. Also Healing/Cleansing are sorta LS reserved ability i guess? with DS having Healing immunity(which given, is weaker).
The Rebel Airspeeders thing is just dumb, bcos if we were to follow actual strength, the Imperials basically wrecked the rebs. This would be a clean sheet with the exceprion of rear airspce.
luckyly we can skip alot of them because they include p2p toons ^_^
OT: I like DS TB better than LS TB to be honest.
Many top players have multiple light sided teams at the level of their stronger dark side teams. This is partially due to the legendary/op characters difference and partially because of the number of easily accessible good light sided characters.
A required sub faction (bounty hunters) is bad.
DSTB was added later than lstb and is therefore considered by the developers as more late game and therefore harder.
You must be new around here because this thread must be from months ago. DS TB was even worse when they launched it.
We should like DS better. They theoretically learned from some of the mistakes they made in LS (like 4 phases for each battle in DS as opposed to 6 in LS, a special mission for ships, more special missions, etc.)
That said, they're both fairly enjoyable - and the rewards are decent.
In game guild: TNR Uprising
I beat the REAL T7 Yoda (not the nerfed one) and did so before mods were there to help
*This space left intentionally blank*
This pretty much sums it up. If you feel differently then it's probably an issue with YOU or your DS toons not DS TB
Glad to have good ol' reasonably possitive nikoms back =D
DS TB is more difficult than LS TB, yes, but that's completely intentional. Nobody ever announced, that it would have the same level of difficulty.
Factors that have increase guild progression and winning more stars are:
1. The recent EP / Vader reworks.
2. Increased access to farming new Nightsisters, KRU, Silencer, SA and other DS toons.
3. The recent re—run of the Chimaera event.
4. The increased availabilities of 7* DS capital ships.
5. General incresase of guild GP (LS, DS and fleet GP altogether).
6. .... <continue list as you wish>
it's difficult, but isn't that the whole point?
I dunno man. Too difficult for some, too easy for others i guess.
Like i said, i don't know. For me it wasn't impossible at all. I'm f2p and not in a top guild, but i did get max waves.
If they would just make the IPD mission easier I would be completely satisfied
And more incomplete, underpowered factions/characters lying around and left untouched.
Surely I want to run my tuskens even they're only 3 of them, but seeing the leader ability...others has +xx% defence and my great urooorrruoh have...what, +30 defence? Not to mention 3 of them dont really synergized with each other.
Then i m afraid your e doing smth wrong, because i 4 starred that one with EP, Vader, GMT, TFP and Thrawn, with no zetas at all.
and only thrawn was g11
Yes. You did. I admit i had ATAT, but honestly it was a easy win, only TFP went to red. Thrawn still had 50% proct left over.
But with that being said, I think the TB works well enough, and as more and more DS characters come out, that'll ease off over time.
But with that said, it's not going to ease off over time because they'll keep releasing new toons at 3* and putting them in the 7* platoons immediately.
