Need Help with Oppress Challenge

GenghisDon

The second level of this challenge is very tough. I've tried it about 15 times and I can't solve it. I don't see any pattern that triggers his 1 HP attack. I only have dooku and 2 healers. I can't stun him before his first attack which would be exactly what I need to buy time to kill the bots.

I'm level 48 with a level 47 Dooku and my healers are around 45. All 3 are gear 6.5

Is there a trick to this fight or is it just RNG on Oppress' choice to 1HP the group?

any tips are welcome some long as they are constructive.

I love that it is a challenge. Feels like when I tried for hours to beat Emerald weapon in FFVII

You're talking about the AGI challenges. The difficulty has been ramped up. I only do the tier one challenge now. Take two healers in with you.

Get the droids down to low health but don't kill them.

Throughout the whole fight try to stun/slow savage. When he does his 1hp attack, kill one of the droids to gain hp.

When he is stunned your attacks will do bonus damage.

The trick is to stun/slow him to get out of sync with his droids. If he does the 1hp attack and his droids shoot next, you're gonna lose 2 of your team.

tier one is good but I need that gear in the tier 2 version of the fight. I'm getting really burned out on harvesting the goods that this challenge provides via 6 power battles. I must have spent about 3 hours today doing this. It's a part of the game, I understand it. It's how the game makes money. They want you to get tired of mining and spend money on power and sim tickets.

anyway, glad to know others think it's really hard too.

This is exactly what I've been trying. I've been soooo close, but dooku just can't hold him off. I wish I wouldn't have left my cell at work. I really want to get back in there and keep trying.

when you get more characters it will become more and more easier to accomplish. It's a hard fight regardless. It's the only challenge where I have to monitor the fight and only auto through some parts. Old Daka is beast in this challenge I will let you guys know that.

I just kill the Droids off first, because a lot of the time they would attack right after his special and get a kill. He won't kill you with his super move and you'll have plenty of time to heal. I take three healers, and use two heals, saving one heal for the next special. He's always dead by his third special.

Use AoE to help kill the droids, while taking Savage's hp down. Dathcha and Veers work well. You need at least 2 healers, with a healing ability on your leader. For the 5th character, go for Dooku so he can counter when both teams hit 1hp.

this doesn't work to well; Savage does his AoE, depending on whose turn, the droids can one shot your team and take two out.


I have been winning with level 48 Dooku, Talia, Jedi-Con, Magna Guard, and Biggs. just take both droids first, and hit Savage with the Magna Guard AoE to knock down turn meter. You so want to hope that Dooku does stun him from time to time.

Yes. There is a trick and when you learn it you don't lose.

Is that the kill the droids first trick? Or the other one?

I ether fail this challenge or finish with 5 at full health. Dooku, Talia, JC, Ima-Gun Di and Ventress. IGD can debuff on main attack, Talia can dot on skill 3, Dooku stun with lightning, JC with heal. If I get a stun on round 1 or 2 it's all over bar the shouting.

I only kill the droids if their meter shows they'll go right after savage or if savage just went and I need the health to survive when he comes up again. i will lose on occasion when there are no droids left and he goes twice/ thrice in a row after each killing blow.

This will work 95% of the time with a team level 45 and above:
1. Kill all droids. Otherwise they one-shot a character after Oppress jumps. The healing they provide is irrelevant and unneeded as the challenge uses healers.
2. After a jump, use a heal skill to get your guys high enough to survive a regular Oppress attack.
3. Apply debuffs to massively increase the damage you are doing. Stuns and Talia's special work.
That's pretty much it, just keep going.

UPDATE : captain phason makes all the difference. The ability to slow Savage takes him out of rhythm with the bots. And being able to speed up by 30 percent gets you that one extant attack needed to kill the second Droid before it gets a chance to one shot somebody. My team is only 4 people. Dooku, councilor, tiala, and cap phason.

Stun isn't the only debuff that triggers his death spiral; if you have a way to shred his armor, that'll do the trick too. I generally just kill both the bots first and then just pummel him. Bring two healers and heal as needed (though you can do it with one healer if your team is strong enough to alpha strike both droids down before the boss's first attack). Good luck!

Fighton

This is the team I use...he only got one hit in after all the stuns haha......
