Vader lead, bb8, thrawn, savage, palp?
Can I do it, or can I sub in Teebo somewhere in there? I can’t use jyn, she’s to hard of a farm for me right now.

Aim for G9+
200 speed +, the more the better.
I did my first ever solo with G8/9 zVader team + Jyn. With low gear and low speed Phase 4 is frustrating as the Rancor is significantly faster than P2/3.
Thanks so much @Vendi1983 , I have both zetas on vader, thrawn unique, savage unique, palp both zetas, and I don’t think bb8 needs them. All gear 9 and up except for savage.
Yes but Vader lead benefits sith and empire both.
Doh! Oh, yeah. That's true.
I don’t notice much TM removal with no zeta and I figured with more equipment stronger toons the increase in damage can reduce amount of TM removal needed.
I have seen reports of some using non-zeta Vader and soloing it. I believe, it will require a really good strategy and team composition. Which team are you using?
Devoured? The idea is to not let Rancor take turns.
Vader lead, EP, zthrawn unique, tarkin and kilo. Can replace ep with TFP even though only g10. Try Zion in for kilo once at 7* in like a week ( use in arena). But not much other toons to work with at moment.
I noticed I can use door panel more effectively as last tm removal effort when waiting on cooldowns but other than that good strategy. If I can get past s3 should be easy even if I lose one toon because no more devour.
I can only c where I’m at once a week because of extensive time it takes when u can’t auto and have to play it. I’ll try to take tarkin and kilo speed up since I don’t use in arena just have 5dots I don’t use on for ships.
Not finding much use for Vader lead in tm removal and I won’t be able to generate more turns with EP lead past S1 so seems like a good move.
Kylo is a liability. He feeds TM to the Rancor with every attack.
Under non-zeta Vader lead, empire and sith remove 2% TM on average through the lead with every attack. With a zeta Vader lead it's approximately 8.5% (assuming only the basic 15% chance to resist). That's a huge difference. You will need a good strategy (and no Kylo) to pull it off. F.ex. save special attacks for when Rancor is fractured (apart from Tarkin's TM removal AoE). Also make sure to keep speed down and tenacity down on Rancor at all times. Only use culling blade when you're sure to be able to reapply speed down and tenacity down right after. Have high crit chance on your TFP to apply tenacity down. Just a few things to be aware of.
"Vader lead, EP, zthrawn unique, tarkin and kilo."
(I'm assuming that's OG Kylo not Kylo Unmasked. If I'm correct that's one of the big problems.) There's nobody on your team to apply Tenacity Down, and nobody that actually removes TM with an attack on a regular basis. Without Vader's Zeta there's little chance if there isn't a fifth that can reliably removed TM outside of Vader's lead removal.
Without TD too many debuffs are going to get resisted, especially from Vader's Force Crush.
The other key to his zeta is the reapplication of Damage Over Time. You can stack 30-40 of those easily per phase with even a decent speed Vader. That will net you 600-800k+ damage with a Culling Blade when the door is down.
Maybe replace EP with TFP gives more turns and specials to reduce during fracture can try that next or replace with Zion 30 away from 7*. I can use that tip FC when door is down only have been doing it when close to death will try that. If I lose again will have to get zeta I can not afford these test runs due to time it takes lol. But my last test run up 4 mil hopefully this will be last test with only 3 mil left.
You are forgetting that every time Kylo hits the Rancor / Captain, the boss will GAIN turnmeter. The whole idea is to consistently REMOVE turnmeter from the boss. Throw Kylo / KRU out. Far out. Use TFP instead. TFP benefits from Vader's lead, also inflicts tenacity down, and can remove turnmeter through Thrawn's unique zeta. Forget KRU.
With a zeta on Vader's lead, you will be able to solo the whole thing, rank in top-10 with a (random) chance to rank in top-3 for an extra reward treasure chest and a shot at 1st place for the title.
Since you are far away from being ready for CLS, I'm sure that zeta will win you a lot of extra gear.
Personally, I use FO - with or without CLS. Only really requires a Zeta on KRU, and they can clear the raid at G9-10 with the Rancor taking zero to minimal turns on manual.
Just did one yesterday with FO + CLS, threw it on auto, and they managed it with no turns at all for the enemies in all 4 phases for the first time. But they're a mix of G11-G12 with zetas on KRU, CLS, & Kylo (not needed for Rancor).
Better rewards than if you don't solo it (2smooth is nowhere near ready for CLS or having another team able to solo the raid). The option to simply initiate the battle and pressing auto to solo it. That really should be enough reasons. That zeta will be a good investment. It will be OP's best option for getting those better rewards for months.
Auto threw P1 almost then had to manually do the rest but got me threw tougher stages 2-3 for solo. Just have to get higher on join list can get this title and never c a pit race again lol.
