Compared to the rebel assault side of the territory battles; the dark side is broke as a joke. Phase 1 Wave 4 smashed a g11 Imperial Trooper squad and my Thrawn Lead imperials. Today my Vader, sith, and imperial trooper squads got smashed between wave 2-3. The difficulty is rediculous. It feels like it was never tested at all!

I’m also comparing this to the rebel territory battle and the difference in difficulty is staggering.
And this is phase 1 & 2. If my mods have to be perfect just to squeak through with this squad, how the hell am I suppose to get them through phase 6?
That’s a different rant entirely. It totally feels like a pay to progress move on CGs part. At least CHS had farmable cantina node.
Mods, mods, zeta optional lol
Exactly. Most people are still able to clear the phase 5 Phoenix missions without Zetas and at gear 8-9.
Ahhhhhhhshahahahahaha
Mods should not be an issue to beating a 2 and 3* team. The balance of the event is the issue when 7* g10 toons have issues with 3* groups
Try nightsisters. I use double zeta asajj ventress, NS acolyte, Old Daka, Talia, NS zombie. My NS zombie is g8 4 star. Try to get resets off asajj AOE when possible. Spread stuns out as much as possible+ tenacity down from zombie basic. Don’t ever use NS zombie special. and try to allow as many enemy taunts up before using asajj dispel. There is a little RNG hoping they don’t focus fire Daka but it’s a relatively safe strategy.
I’ve also had some success with cluster teams zeta Boba Fett lead with NS initiate (for crit up). Palpatine, tarkin, stormtrooper was one I can think of with them. Phasma works well too. TFP is decent too if you bring a taunt.
Conclusion. As others have said, it might be a mod problem. Or maybe you are trying to force certain squad combinations in that just aren’t working. Try mixing stuff up. Maybe try some squads I mentioned. I have finished all 4 waves consistently with those squads.
You,do,know,that star count doesn't mean much right, . . .
Nope!

Yeah, ok, Tarkin G11. And then?
Vader G9
TFP G8
EP G8
RG G8
So yeah...no.
You could not possibly compare this to Phoenix squad. There isn’t a single toon in Phoenix who stands out in their squad nearly as much as Shore stands out as key in his.
It’s like running Rogue One without Baze. That’s how key Shore is.
Makes sense, but Shore is hella harder to farm than Baze (or at least harder than he use to be). I’m at 45/65 for Shore.
Again though, we’re talking about phases 1-3 here. I ran Rogue One without Baze before I had him started up and did just fine in earlier phases.
That’s true, Shore is super tough and in fact tougher than Baze. I don’t know how long I’ve been farming him, but I’m now at 63/100.
Crazy to hear Rogue One did well without Baze.
I’m wondering if DSTB is meant to be more difficult. Getting 114 on LSTB was kind of dissapointing. It’s like, well, guess this is on autopilot now.
I like having a challenge to look forward to.
Prepare the get annihilated tommorow though, in phase 4 those special abilities are back =D
Unless you knock them out
I remember having an easier time with Phase 4 last time than I did 1~3
i believe we weren't able to fill a single platoon in p5/6, probably not that many in p4 either. I kinda liked the difficulty though, but i'm not what you call a representative for the entire community.
