Ground Assault Mythic Is Bad Design
This is a mobile game, and with a single level of a single event like this, you shouldn't be requiring a half-hour commitment to play it.
I literally just spent 30 minutes trying to play it for the 3rd time. The first 2 times were experimenting with other teams before I had Bastila at 7*. Bastila being the obvious best leader, I decided to play it again today.
It was a waste of time. It's fine if you want the difficulty to be such that 2 x g12 + 3 x g11 with 3 zetas isn't good enough. Make the difficulty whatever you want it to be. But the final encounter has a difficulty much higher than the rest of the encounters, and the net result is that people don't even know if they're in the ballpark for finishing this tier without wasting a huge amount of time playing encounters 1-7.
I understand that the protection supercharge is part of this event's unique character ... but it makes the battles take a LONG time. And given that a necessary part of the event is buff management with moment of glory vs. the b2 droids, you can't necessarily buff up at the beginning of the encounter. Instead you're dispelling protection from one or two b2s, then waiting through several rounds before you can dispel protection recharge from 1-2 more characters.
It's time consuming and it doesn't test your toons or your strategy - it just tests your willingness to be bored.
For 2 zetas one time only, I'll probably never even attempt the mythic tier of this event again.

Once I'd figued out the GMY Moment of Glory strategy though, I've only needed a couple tries to beat it, even with no 7* Bastilla. It boils down to a combination of pretty good toons and juking one key game mechanic.
10 min yet people complain takes 45 seconds to burn their daily 8k bronziums easy peazy
Which was your decision. Nobody held a gun to your head.
Intrinsic motivation?
Personal responsibility for one's actions?
Side note: you can auto it with Revan lead.
Can be auto'd with zBastila and a fast GMY as well - might need to get lucky with timing on the GG wave - I nodded off so I didn't see.
Bastila and Ezra bring dual dispels so the overcharge shouldn't be much of a problem - especially if you kill the shield generators first. Agree completely with Kyno that there should be some G12 gear, a zeta mat, or some mods to go along with for the rewards ride.
Team heals produce group hugs (Ahsoka Hermie). Group assists from GK and Hermie. Yoda steal protection buff, grab event buffs, give to everyone.
Last round is cake with this team. Bring Jinn (or Bastila) for an extra dispel if you like.
If you don't have these heroes, don't worry about it. Mythic is about the challenge, not the reward. Only two omegas to be earned anyway.
It is interesting cause the event is harder then most other Assault battle mythic tiers, the rebel one for example is easy compared to this. If we could use our Jedi on the Rebel one every player in the game would be able to auto it.
There is only 2 things hard about this event, Phase four Grevious and the phase 9 nightsister (because she can remove your buffs) so kill them first when you see them and its gg.
I am in agreeance though that the rewards should be improved for mythic tiers after the first completion.
