FBL Against EP Sith
EP Lead: Empire and Sith allies have +35% Potency and 35% Max Health. Jedi and Rebel enemies have -35% Potency and -35% Evasion.
FBL Lead: All allies gain 50% Tenacity. Whenever an ally Resists a detrimental effect they gain Advantage for 2 turns.
Darth Vader has base Potency of 31%.With mods mine has 47%. With EP lead he has 82% (WOW). That pretty much automatically hits anyone without Foresight. But if I put FBL as my lead then I wonder how well that can work against a debuff-heavy team like the current EP teams. My Vader would have 82% potency under EP, but my CLS, R2, Baze, and Chirrut would have 85.21%, 89.61%, 84.63%, and 95.06% respectively. So I just wonder if running that team under FBL would make them pretty much immune to resistable debuffs, especially since the team isn't modded for tenacity. Thoughts?

Just use Rex. Tenacity up means nothing lands as long tenacity up is present
So are you saying this setup makes sense, or is pointless?
Your Vader has potency of 82
Your R2 has tenacity of 89
89-82= 7% chance to resist.
The REAL chance for resist is 15% bc that is the minimum, so that 50% tenacity means nothing
And Tenacity Up is OP.
His Tenacity Lead (no zeta) give about a 95% chance to resist Nihilus defense down. So you can use counter and multi-attackers when you normally never could. I run FBL, CLS Leia R Han and Visas Mar. Can substitute Chirrut, Pao or Sabine if you dont have one of those. A good backup team that can do over 1M damage on T4.
As an aside, Pao has also found a home in the Sith Raid as he massively boosts rebel damage in any phase. He is really good in P1, 2 and 3.
If you have FBL and/or Visas Mar zetaed, the numbers would get really crazy.
Dont go zetaing him or anything, but he works in Chex mix in P3 and I use him in the P1 team mentioned above and P2, CLS Leia Chirrut or Visas, Raid Han and Pao. He works great with Wedge teams too in P2.
Except that my R2 only has that high of a tenacity because of the FBL lead. w/o that extra 50% he only has 39% tenacity versus the Vader potency of 82%.
Without that 50%, your Chance to Resist is still at 15%. Adding that 50% didn’t raise it any higher than 15%. Hence, useless Maximus.
Seriously? I have g12 Farmboy with zeta unique and he is generally a lackluster addition to any raid squad. I would not see his lead ability making a difference at all in the Sith raid (running the heroic tier).
He’s probably not running Heroic Tier Sith Raid. And I really don’t think it’s great advice to build teams that eventually don’t work when you do progress to Heroic Sith Raid.
Im not running Heroic and it doesnt matter as much there because all of you guys have JTR and can cruise the whole thing.
The rest of us Peons that take 3 or 4 days to do Tier 4, a completely F2P team that can do 1M damage in the most annoying phase is nothing to scoff at.
But Since you have his lead zetaed @EventineElessedil Id be interested to hear the results if you try that team in Heroic.
But it IS a good non heroic team and you dont have to worry about his annoying defense down/protection regen.
@VonZant
JTR does not let you "cruise the whole thing," not by a long shot. I have a hard time pulling 4% in P1 with my JTR squad. It still takes a whole guild clawing their way through the raid 1-2% at a time. Takes a lot of well-geared teams to clear. They tell me zVentress lead is a monster in P4, I do not know yet.
I did not zeta Farmboy's lead, just his unique. I tried using him under Wedge lead in P4 HAAT, but it takes too long for his damage to build up to respectable levels.
At any rate, I am pleased he is working for you, but do not expect to carry that success up the tiers with you. He was my first g12 just because I was hoping he would shine, so it makes me happy that he has an effective role.
