GAS P4. What a joke.

Watched the videos, followed their guidelines, tried nearly 200 times so far and not even close to how easy they made it look. All G12 like they said... working on relics anyway. The RNG in this game is outrageously stupid. I dont even think EA has any idea how the RNG works. Freaking stupid.

Don't trust the videos for Gen Sky. Alot of them boast how 'easy' it is with really weak droids but much like those ppl unlocking 3PO with g9 ewoks, they're only showing you one battle out of thousands they attempted.
I wish I could give you a rock solid strategy but the only thing I can offer is pour some rum to ease the RNG pain and have a kill order of 5’s, Echo, Rex, Arc.
Bitter??? Lol Why do you play then? If you have no control besides opening your wallet or grinding, then what’s the point? Your comment is very snide and dismissive of the fact that skill and strategy are just as important as luck and a wallet.
Crit avoidance simply reduces the attacker's crit chance. How useful it is depends on how high the attacker's crit chance was to begin with.
Just FYI, promoting a crit avoidance arrow to 6-dot boosts its primary stat from 24% to 35%, a significant improvement.
The other thing to keep in mind is that Skellutrix seems to have a pretty great collection of mods. But even the Skellutrix video admits to a ton of RNG conditions--not only landing all Droideka assists, but also Echo not removing the damage immunity. The latter almost never happens for me. Especially if you're trying to take out Fives first during the topple.
I think while the video is to suggest it *could* be done with g12, you're going to save yourself a lot of headache by bringing one or more of those droids to relic 1-3.
I wouldn't say people like to complain or they don't understand the game. I think it's the frustation talking. Farming all those toons to meet the requirements, and when you get there and feel like GAS is within reach, you realize you are going to need a lot more farming.
I'm exactly in this situation and have adjusted my farming accordingly. I was prepping for JKLS and GAS simultaneously. When I had access to the GAS event and realized that with G12 toons I wasn't going to make it, I switched the focus to getting ready for JKLS (checking if the requirements are enough to beat the event, which they are btw).
Now I will unlock JKLS soon, gear him, then gear B1 and Droideka to R3-R4 and hope that's enough to get GAS
Check out the post as I now has GAS, thanks to the help of this forum, YouTubers - but mainly to my Guildmates - Game of Clones: First Legion. BIG lessons:
P4 is all about the opening salvo, just like the Chewie event. If they Daze, Stun, or go after B2 or B1 and Magna doesn't taunt or counter, RESTART: you'll never win since Magnaguards counter is critical. If they go after Magnaguard and he counters, then you have your shot. Otherwise, back out and start over.
Stunning Rex is a MUST; in my experience, you will know RNG is with you when you take down GAS w/out using Droidekas middle ability (Reconstructive Revolution), saving it to one-shot Fives. THIS is one most videos don't pass along but I found it critical to conquering Phase 4.
Good luck!
Editing makes it really easy to look like you did in in a try or 2 when it really took 100. It's just pure RNG which is a pathetic design. I'm sure Someone has taken a lower end team in and the RNG simply went their way early, but for 99% of the people it's not going to work that way.
The point of the video's is simply to get clicks, someone being honest and having a 12 hr video showing it's pure RNG isn't going to get clicks because people inevitably believe there's an answer and the guy with 100 tries in his video isn't the answer they want.
Oh right, that would be silly ...
Gear up, move out. And tilt the odds in your favor.
Edit: oops, duped by a necro. Silly me.
Like many videos and others have mentioned, what worked for me was having Droideka at the right speed, CA arrows for B2 and Magna, and as much offense as possible on B1 and Droideka. I gave AV health sets to survive more. Fives-Echo-Arc/Rex kill order. Last two are dependent on TM/CD’s/HP left. Suggest arc trooper so you don’t get the damage immunity dispelled.
