Bounty hunters in dark side tb
This would have been a perfect opportunity to get some new characters in the shops. Dark side is lacking good toons...we should have got Bossk in arena shop, 4-LOM in cantina shop, and Zuckuss in galactic war shop...

LS TB was built for the intended teams (Rebels) which have the widest range of abilities available.
R1 exposes 7-8 times
ANH teams hit like a truck
wiggsdo teams AoE to oblivion
Phoenix can mass counter, Daze, Stun and are good in TB
etc etc.
The LS TB, although in some places difficult (I can't 6/6 everything in LS) was a balanced and well thought out game mode. (in this case I'm not counting bugs)
DS TB was meant for DS, which in many ways is far inferior to LS. As the devs actually made Phase One DS TB HARDER than Phase One LS TB, the fiasco we call Hoth: Imperial retaliation happened.
Although LS TB is difficult, it was balanced such that in Phase Six a well modded g11-g12 team can beat it (of course resistance g8 can beat 6/6 but that's resistance)
DS TB is nearly impossible for everyone. It was meant for a faction that is tenfold worse than LS yet it's harder than the LS equivalent.
In my opinion, DS TB should (a) be of lower difficulty or (b) equal difficulty with LS TB in terms of enemies, as a ton of rebels have anti-empire but only a few empire have anti rebels (and most of these are high catina farms or hard nodes). In addition, Rebel Strafing Run should have been taken into account.
In LS TB, a g1 level 1 character using Strafing run would deal nearly 0 damage. In DS TB, strafing run deals damage regardless of gear level, making it severely OP.
in LS TB, ATAT strike deals near 0 damage. in DS TB this is carried over (Strafing Run was basically a guaranteed phase wipe for LS, but ATAT damage is negligible at level 3.)
I've managed to clear the special mission (by a very slim margin) with Boba (G12, Zeta), IG88 (G12), Zam (G9), Cad Bane (G8) and Greedo (G8), mostly thanks to a well-timed successful Execute by Boba.
Except for Boba's Zeta, they sorely miss a tank and any form of healing: health is just going down and down, it's not like there's a lot of it to start with...
2 Questions:
Don't underestimate Cad Bane's stun. I did it easily with Dengar & Cad, leaving Greedo out, but Cad was really useful during that fight.
Was Dengar useful? He can also stun, sometimes...
Yes perhpas Greedo is the odd one out. Very squishy and doesn't bring much beyond Thermals for Zam to blow up.
I stopped reading right there (not blaming you OP) because you shouldn't need two G12 characters plus a zeta to clear a P2 special mission. Hopefully this is tuned down like the rest of DS TB hopefully will be.
What was your team's gear/ability levels?
Boba lead g11 (no zeta), IG-88 g10, Dengar Zam Cad g9. Mods not all that great except Boba (an old Arena team member of mine, when I also used him with Zader+Sidious in AAT P2).
I have so many DS toons that are low star count because I never use them.
Why? Stop thinking that it is coming from easy to hard. Than everything is ok.
Maybe you should stop trying to propagate the myth that TBDS will start out hard and get easier. It won’t.
Just so you know (you apparently don’t yet), the devs have already stated that it is more difficult than intended and will be fixed once it’s over.
Did you check Rebel special abilities? Phase 1, lvl 3..phase 2, lvl 2, phase 3 lvl 1. I dont propagate this myth, it wont be easier. But i dont see phase 3 very harder than previous. Compare this with LS TB. Phase 1 is very easy, phase 3 is harder than first. See how this is constructed first. Than if You want to start from easy to hard ok. But why You dont want to play one mode in this game which is always hard?
Yes, this is right. It’s one of the best leader abilities in the game. Unfortunately BHs are pretty poor overall so it doesn’t get used in arena.
Found this thread that explains this in full gory details, super useful.
TLDR is: yes, pile up as much potency on all of them as possible, every little helps. And make Boba's health as high as possible.
make sure you are targeting the cleanser with Boba to take advantage of that 2 turn ability block.
I like this theory, if they release new BH it wont be new team on table. We will need few of old hunters. So still they will need gear.

Which is the cleanser?
