I’ve got powerful enough characters to do the first battle for Luke’s hero’s journey event. I got through the whole fight except for the boss. The boss had 4 buffs going: speed, crit, something I can’t remember and a heal. The heal recovered all the damage I could do every round. I let it play out with auto and he never runs out of the heal effect or the other buffs. Must be an ability of the character.
The fight is broken. Just flat out broken. It’s frustrating. I’m mad. I just spent a bunch of money to improve my empire characters enough to get R2D2... and then to improve him. And then the first fight has an unbeatable boss. It’s unquestionably bad design. Makes me want to ditch the game. I’m exactly the kind of player they don’t want to lose. I spend money. Making the game crappy isn’t a way to keep me.
Fix the event.

The fact that thousands of players have a 7* CLS should make you rethink your strategy. It’s not always about how powerful your characters are, it’s about how you use them.
1) Attempting the event with bare minimum geared toons - more likely
2) A troll making fun of the Malak event - less likely.
The fact that the fight can turn into an infinite loop because that heal is so ridiculous is broken. Stunning him didn’t help. His speed was high enough for that to not matter and he just heals anyway. Obi-wan’s ability block doesn’t recharge fast enough to keep it from happening. The fact that other people got Luke says to me they had much more powerful characters.
And your response to a guy who’s upset is to tell him he isn’t good enough? Thanks. Real friendly and helpful.
Hes probably doing it to mock the complaining about malak to prove a point
I'd give you advice myself, but I don't remember the event at all except for the rather memorable Obi wan vs vader tier. Sorry.
I suspect your team isn't well enough built.
It's not broken, just designed to make you do it in a specific way.
That’s the piece of information I was missing. I didn’t know where the buffs came from. Still poor design in my opinion. Should be harder, not impossible, if you make mistakes or aren’t aware like I was.
I'd avoid trying for Chewie or C3P0.
Or DR or Malak
Mostly untroubled until final final, where taunt, heal, and crit immunity on taunting troopers at opening made it much harder than expected.
Han gear 10, others 8. Omega R2 and Leia stealth. Others lacking abmats a bit, around lvl5.
Tactics:
Round 1 - R2 stealth all but Han, use Leia re-stealth early, Luke stun early, R2 improvise mid way. When the Storm Troopers are down (or off taunt) kill officer quickly as his special hurts.
Round 2 - try to avoid using specials, stick to basics and hope for quick kills.
Round 3 - repeat Round 1 method, with Han taunt and build Leia CD with repeat stealth. Take ST commander when you can to block recovery.
I lost Han but win thru after a few tries
I had a bit of trouble with the final tier as well, but that's because I skimped on ability levels. It all worked out after I spent some omegas on FB Luke's special for the dispel.
On a serious note, like many have said here, with so many CLS already in the hands of many players, there's something you're not doing right yet.
1) Quite easily doable at g8 gears. What are yours? Are they all max level? How are their ability levels? PS. Zeta totally not required for this event.
2) Did you put your good mods on them? Consider transferring your best mods from your arena squads to the 5 key characters for this event. You're only going to do this once, so it's worth investing those extra credits.
It’s noticeable in ships too. To get the good stuff, you have to already have good stuff. The game seems to be balanced as though they don’t care about new players.
Thank you to the people who responded with useful information. And a sarcastic thank you to the people who gave the advice to get better at the game. Always fun to get insulted by jerks when already upset.
My characters are no where near powerful enough for the third fight despite meeting requirements. Bad game design.
The truth is that you aren’t good enough, and that’s why you can’t beat the event, and that’s why you’re mad. The game only suggests a gear level and good mods because it wouldn’t be fun if it required them; you likely never would have gotten to try the event in the first place. There are also strategies all over the Internet for tries with undergeared characters. If they don’t help, upgrade your characters more and get him next time.
There are about a million guides for legendary events out there, I suggest consulting one of them.

You keep mentioning bad design, bad design, bad design, like a broken record.
If this is your account, then it's no wonder why you're having difficulty in this event.
https://swgoh.gg/p/851634432/characters/?f=Rebel
Leia 5* - Lv50 @ G6
R2D2 5*- Lv51 @ G4
Luke 5*- Lv60 @ G6
STHan 5*- Lv60 @ G6
Old Ben 6*- Lv70 @ G7
So here's the advice, get them all to 7*, G8 and at least lv80+.
Great. Why does the game bother letting a new player even see the event let alone start the fight? I call it bad game design because the only result is that players like me get frustrated.
