The event is challenging, just as it should be. Sadly too many people on these forums look for hand outs. Just because you have 5 jedi at 7 stars doesn't mean you can click auto and win yoda. Strategize a little bit more. As stated earlier I used the following team with all maxed abilities except no gold mats yet:
1) Lumi (Lead) lvl 71 gear 8
2) QGJ lvl 73 gear 8
3) Ahsoka lvl 70 gear 8
4) JC lvl 68 gear 8
5) Old Ben lvl 72 gear 9
I had no problem taking down yoda today so all of these posts are slightly confusing. I heard some people attempted to defeat yoda in 100 tries with no success last go so I was dreading it. On my 3rd attempt I faced Yoda, Anakin, and Plo Koon and easily beat them with the following team:
1) Lumi (Lead) lvl 71 gear 8
2) QGJ lvl 73 gear 8
3) Ahsoka lvl 70 gear 8
4) JC lvl 68 gear 8
5) Old Ben lvl 72 gear 9
Not sure if you're trolling or had some sort of weird glitch in the system. There's no way a team of that level would be able to come close to being 7* Yoda from what I've experienced after several attempts.
A couple of attempts and you're an expert? Hahahahahahaha. Get real kid. When you've spent 3 hours of non-stop attempts you may be able to make a legitimate claim.
I don't need multiple hours of playing to see how hard he hits and how hard my toons hit back. The same toons that are as much as 10 levels below mine beating him on the same difficulty seems like a bogus claim or a glitch in the system.
Not trying to rub it in your face but it is possible to do without maxed out toons. Perhaps I was just extremely lucky.
Something seems seriously off with people with your type of squad clearing him on 7*. My squad is more than 10 levels above yours and I barely got him into yellow.
I'd say there was definitely a lot of luck. I did gamble twice with the offense up. And he obviously stole it. But he only used his basic when he did. I also had at least one evade. And QGJ omega basic reduced his TM at least twice. I also kept everyone healed at 100% as much as possible since I had 4 healers.
He also got very few crits in, though towards the end he did OHKO Ahsoka for 14k. JC went down on 2 consecutive hits.
As everyone on here already knows, Yoda in the 7* event got a slight "buff" up to level 90 gear 12/gold gear and omega abilities. It seems like he would be unbeatable. The Barriss method wasn't working for me and I was starting to get annoyed. Then I got matched up with Jedi Knight Guardian and Old Ben as his sidekicks and I thought why not I'll try it. I didn't even bother taking a screenshot before the fight because I was so demotivated at that point. I was even contemplating maxing my Jedi's levels to 78.
My team was (all level 76 gear 8):
Barriss (L)
Lumi
JC
QGJ
Old Ben
First I targeted JKG. She went down easily. Everyone was still alive at this point since I handled my heals well. Then I went for the green goblin. I used all specials except for Old Ben's Mind Tricks (obviously) and QGJ's dispel attack. I only used QGJ's dispel for when Yoda stole Lumi's heal over time or when he got offense up. The key to my success was that very strategy. At one point, Yoda stole Lumi's heal over time so I dispelled him with QGJ giving my team offense up. Yoda eventually stole offense up back which then allowed my QGJ to dispel offense up. This means I basically had offense up for 4 turns and all of those attacks were being directed towards Yoda. Once Yoda was done it was simple enough to finish off Old Ben. All of my characters were standing at the end. Screenshots below.
While this is an extremely difficult battle, it is not impossible; it may just require a bit of good RNG to beat him.
Congrats to all those that have done it. The problem is that it's clearly rng, as other (no doubt equally competent) players have posted the same or greater lineups and strategies and are just getting completely owned. And properly owned. Over and over.
It's not like skill, technique, strategising or knowledge of the game stands you in good stead for a challenge like this. That is where the frustration lies, you may as well just roll a one hundred sided die until you get a 99.
There's no strategy involved, it's pure luck. Play until you hit the lotto. Strategy threads my , you can play the exact same team with the exact same gear and lose 99 times out of a 100. One guy says he did it has a 20% weaker team than mine, I'm not sitting here all night to try
Lol love the nerdrage here! I think it's only fair they scale the difficulty with the next level cap. I got him last time, had no problem with him. But lots of people found it very hard back then. The amount of complaints were the same but in the end most people got him by trying and praying to rngesus
I disagree. No reason to scale him. Those who got him last time benefitted by having him sooner. There's no reason to change the difficulty of the event.
He one shots everyone except barriss...I don't even know if u could beat him with 5 jedi at lvl 80 max gear with all omegas...he is way too tough...cmon now CG...make it realistic...
After almost two solid hours I smote my enemy and laid his ruin upon the temple side. How? Barriss strat didnt work, I tried a few times but my team was mostly dead by the time I got her to equalize. I switched from QGJ lead to Lumi lead. It was looking grim toward the end but RNGesus saved me by giving me a chain of like six straight dodges. That and AI JC was too dumb to heal Yoda in the red. That alone would have stopped me.
I advise everyone to run a dodge leader and simply auto until you hit the RNG jackpot. There was no way I was beating him straight up since one basic wipes out protection, and another zeroes your hp bar, and I'm not going to be a pompous p rick like some here and say it was "easy." You simply have to wait out the RNG to get an outlier in your favor. I don't even think a Barriss lead would have saved my from being two hit, his damage is straight savage and crits up go 15k.

So our level cap is 80 and he is level 90 we could only get 12 omega mats tops unless you spent lots of money. And this is fair to you? I call shenanigans because I don't recall Yoda being level 80 with Max skills and gear when the level cap was 70.
I have spent a lot of time and money to get enough Jedi for yoda and in the past I've seen people with the exact same team with near the same gear levels stars and ability levels and regular levels easily clear this. I have tried 10+ times. Bye SWGOH community and hi black ops 3. Good luck getting out of this one EA

Continue ignoring good solid advice. People like you certainly dont deserve yoda if you can't even retreat until you get a good combination, or listen to what others have done to win against yoda.

It seems like you got really, really lucky. I even tried the Barriss strat of reducing her to half life so that her heal would weaken Yoda and still nothing. I really hate the fact that this even seems way more about luck than actual strategy.
They groaned, they stirred, they all uprose, Nor spoke, nor moved their eyes; It had been strange, even in a dream, To have seen those dead men rise.

RNG is not a real strategy. That's what the event seems largely to be leaning towards.

It's a purely strategic and skill based game. You blaming it on luck is projection.
Don't give up guys. I beat it with lvl 78 qgj, bariss, luminara, jc, and mace.
I attacked when yoda was paired with anakin and bariss. Beat anakin, beat down bariss until she healed and weakened yoda. Finished her. Beat down yoda, he stole luminara' heal, but I de spelled him with mace. Smooth sailing from there.
I did the Barriss trick to drain some of Yoda's HP. Then killed her an Anakin. Yoda wasn't much of a problem as long as I had someone heal whenever possible.
Ahsoka's special was the star here. Over 9k crits a couple times while healing the team.

Huh? Every strategy advice is luck based. "Just retreat until you get Barriss", "He didn't use his big attack after he stole my buffs", "He didn't focus down on one of my guys". This stuff is all RNG based.

This Yoda event is a Joke, and half tried to get my last 45 shards 5 star tier. Yoda gets 3 attacks, always gets the eyeball. So one character misses every turn. He does 6,000 plus crits, If you use Lumyra heal he steal regeneration for 6,000 plus health back. Your only chance is if you can get Eloth to stun him for 3 rounds so you can force push the little green poo to somewhere else.
What a joke in a half way to block a awesome event.
The update for yoda event got much harder and tougher, unbalance for the people who work hard to complete the 5 jedi 7*. We are fighting yoda with complete omega abilities Level 90 gear 12 i think with 2 other level 90 toons with gear 10 or 11 i think.
The update you made for this raid is ridiculuos, can you bring back the old yoda? This update is rubbish. One hit per jedi is unfair.
Replies
Many many retreats to get assist with Barriss and other weaker toon.
Tried Barriss on my lead, get crit for 13K+, Yoda wipes the group .. about 20 times.
Tried Lumi lead (max ability), none of my team ever dodge / evade Yoda, ever.
Tried QGJ lead, Yoda one shots everyone
Maybe difficulty is higher on iOS devices? I can't see how it's possible to beat it when Yoda tears through my team in about 1 minute?
People talk about burning adds down, lol. My team doesn't last long enough to barely get one add down.
1) Lumi (Lead) lvl 71 gear 8
2) QGJ lvl 73 gear 8
3) Ahsoka lvl 70 gear 8
4) JC lvl 68 gear 8
5) Old Ben lvl 72 gear 9

I promise it works
