How I beat 7* Yoda!

Ok my 7* Jedi team was all level 70:
Barriss (leader) gear 8
QGJ - gear 8
JC - gear 8
Lumi- gear 8
Eeeth Koth - gear 8
It actually took me two hours of trying to do. I tried various strategies but nothing seemed to work.
On my winning attempt I faced- Yoda, Aayla and Asohka.
My strategy this attempt was to concentrate only on Yoda and then when i finished him I went to the guards.
I lost 3 characters along the way and when I killed Yoda I had only Lumi and Barriss left to face his guards.
I think having 3 healers was the key to my team and having Barriss as leader.
Also try and avoid Yoda if he has a healer in his guards. If you concentrate on a healer first then it seems the longer the battle goes on the quicker Yoda gets. And if you leave the healer then as soon as Yoda hits red health they heal him up
So my main tips.
1. Have as many healers in your team as possible.
2. Concentrate on Yoda first and guards second.
3. Avoid when Yoda has healer guards.

I only have Q up to 4*, he's holding me back. Hopefully I'll have him up to 7* next time around in a month
Glad to see this team can win
Yes- I posted this partly because I know from different Yoda threads that people worry they can't beat Yoda with Eeth Koth.
Yes but I couldn't get it right. Yoda just seemed to go crazy after a certain point. I eventually found my best tactic was hammer away at Yoda until he dropped then deal with the two guards after.
Strategy: Kill Yoda first, then JKG and OB. Heal with endurance in mind. If one character is low, but others are fine it may be best to wait on the heal -- i.e. risk losing the player. I did this and was fortunate that other players were targeted. Four were at about half health and then I did a heal. The reason I think the Yoda first strategy works with this matchup is because Yoda is like 10x better than the assisting characters. You may be able to kill off the weak Jedi first, but that just gives Yoda more time to go to town. Once you start losing characters, he can take out the entire squad.
Tactics: If Yoda has foresight, go with basic attack to take it off. He may immediately attack again and get foresight, but eventually he will open up. If he has no positive statuses, then go for special attacks. But I used the special attacks when his tenacity was up from time to time. I actually had a round where Mace exposed Yoda with no other positive statuses, but I rushed and missed it. Mace was useful with maxed out attacks. Lumi's evasion is key, though. The assisting Jedi (JKG and OB) were really weak so I just let them keep hitting me. I was down to 3 characters by the time Yoda went down - one was Lumi so I was able to heal. I went on auto to finish out.
I got 7* Yoda with
Barriss (L)
Eeth
QGJ
JC
Lumi
Very Happy!
Congrats! Same team as me.
My Team (all maxed geared and lvl'd):
Lumi (Lead)
JC
Eeth
Mace
QGJ
After reading a bunch of different things on the forums and redditt and failing miserably each time with great frustration I was finally able to beat Yoda with Eeth and Barriss as his guards...
Fired off at Eeth until he was gone and then got Barriss down into the low red and kept her there as I turned my focus onto Yoda (using basics when he had foresight and the everything else including specials when no foresight). I only lost Eeth about half way through but was able to keep everyone else alive (though at the brink at times)...
Finally knocked down yoda which left Barriss all alone with just less than half of her health, it was no problem to get her down with a heal left that left my remaining 4 toons with almost full health...
Trying to beat him can definitely be very very frustrating but when you do beat him it is an awesome feeling and you definitely will feel a huge weight being lifted off your chest!
These forums and the redditt have been a tremendous help and I don't know if I could've done it without them! Thank you to all of you that help everyone else out... It is MUCH appreciated!
Yoda is already a very nice addition to my team!
An hour later at 2am - I did it!
Well done to anyone that beats Yoda at 7*. It really is an achievement.
Lumi -QGJ-JC-Koth-Plo Koon...
I'm tired.., but happy!
I just went straight ahead for yoda and the next 2 after.
\Used Lumi lead, GQJ kit asohka JC.
took me around 30 tries
Keep at it, it is crazy hard but doable.
What team are you running? What strategy are you going for?
I'm close to having the following:
Qgj
luminara
barris
Eeth Koth
Ahsoka
I don't have Koth or Ahsoka geared up yet, but I'm gonna have to wait till next month anyway.
Should I try to get my JC up and use him instead of Ahsoka?
If you got that close, you can beat him. What's your team so that we can maybe offer suggestions on strategy.
Old line up was
Lumi
JC
Kit
QGJ
MW
Ive since 7* and put Ahsano in place of MW. Her extra small crit/heal seems to help. Not enough to finish this green devil....
I know some guides/tips say not to use specials on him but I went with this strategy with the Barriss strat after knocking the 3rd toon down and got Barriss to low red: used basics only when he has foresight and the everything else including specials when no foresight when they were available...
At least that seemed to work for me and I heard a couple others say the same... Just keep trying and eventually it will come, I think I had somewhere around 100 or so tries... stopped counting after a dozen fails...
I think just ignore the guards and throw everything at Yoda even your specials. Yes I hear that a missed special increases turn metre but he goes crazy anyway so just hit him with it all.
That being said, in most of my attempts I went ahead and used Lumi's blast (the only other "negative effect special" on my team was Kit's AOE, which I never used) when it was going to be a killing blow, or when the character I was using it on was near full turn meter anyway.
L(Barris), QGJ, Koth, JC, Lumi
Against Yoda, Lumi, and Guardian
Basically, he kind of gives up like a lap dog. Those of you that can't finish just continue trying, it's just RNG that will eventually let you win. Finished losing only Koth.
Wasnt easy got lucky.
