Defense of Dathomir changes?

Hal_10000

Did you guys make some changes to Defense of Dathomir? Because Dooku is basically unbeatable all of the sudden. HIs protection constantly regenerates. The only way to actually damage him is with Talzin's special and that can only be done every three turns.

Same for me

I run talzin lead, and every special you use applies another stack of plague on him. It was really easy. I think my team is pretty undergeared too. Even though my Asajj is well-geared (g12) the GP of the whole team is only like 65k. If you're talking about the bonus stage, I just ran resistance (got Talzin to 7* today), and he died easily.

Impossible to kill !?!?! Nihilus can't annihilated him

I didn't have problems getting 3* again, but at one point I had 17 stacks of plague and when dooku took a turn his health barely moved lol.

JTRey heals all.

Well, to be fair I can't say one way or the other if he's 'different' because this morning was the first time I did the bonus stage, but JTR Resistance killed him in ~ 5 or 6 moves.

KueChael

First time I was able to beat it... I’m not upset.

Kyno

Nope, he takes a bit to ride down, but by no means invincible. His protection gain is pretty small, but yes he will regen. Work him down and then use a multi attack special, there are a few toons that can offer that.

Hal_10000

Oh, wait. I just noticed the bonus round is no longer restricted to just Nightsisters. OK, that makes it ... a bit more doable. Although it's bizarre that he can ignore things like Fracture.

Calis

There's ways around him but something is definitely wrong. I had him fractured and he was still countering!

He’s a boss character, so he uses the same conditions as raid bosses

Hal_10000

Even my gear 12 Empire team is in a perpetual stalemate. There are too few toons who ignore armor.

Rebel_yell

if you're using nightsisters, use the event specials to daze him. easy peazy after that

Hal_10000

Expose doesn't seem to work on him either. This is maddening. Every time he counters, his protection comes back.

Hal_10000

Hallelujah. I went to an old favorite: Phoenix. With their protection/health recovery, they can just go round after round after round. And they finally managed to burn through his protection after about 15 minutes of auto.

Just need to use appropriate tools for the task,

CapGaSP

Dooku is tagged as a Raidboss in the Bonus Tier, and has his fully upgraded Leader ability enabled. However it's been this way for some time. I'm not sure why people seem to be noticing this now. Any strategy which works to defeat a fully upgraded Dooku in arena should be valid here except instant-kill and Dots (due to Raidboss tag).

He was absolutely harder today than previous events. I don’t know what tweaks you guys made and he was still beatable but he was stronger.

Use the mission special ability to daze him then go to work.

BlueIota

@CG_CapGaSP, it seems like his protection regeneration is working differently. Has he always continued to gain additional bonus protection, or was it just his normal protection that regenerated before? I think he's supposed to regenerate normal protection, not have unending growth on bonus protection.

I still took him down, but it took a lot longer than last time.

PsyBaby

I remember the Bonus Tier being easier some time ago. Even if they tweaked the event it did not stop me. I did the same as the previous people said. I used the event special power. I had 3 g8 nightsisters and two g9 sisters.

Tryxa

All you have to do is Daze him, and he melts. My girls get him every time.

PsyBaby

I had some trouble with it this time even with the daze. Mix in night sister spirit for high damage if your at lower gear levels. Seemed to work.

Renamed250920181311

I use squad: CLS; R2-D2; Han Solo; Chirrut; Baze. All rounds are carried lightly, and specifically at the end,when there is one Dooku, I use the invisibility of R2-D2 on Baze, respectively - Dooku does not counterattack, and does not restore its protection. And the rest of the squad are trying to remove the purple shield. After she was taken off, there's no problem killing Dooku at all.

Even a good imperial team with Darth Vader (z) leader will do the trick, his stacking dots will make up for a devastating 3rd ability shot.
