Is this Working as Intended

Radonis · May 18, 2019 10:19PM

So Bonus tier of Defense of Dathomir Dooku is basically immune to My Thrawns Fracture he still counters and he still gains Protection i cannot beat it. I cant do enough damage to him when under stealth so he doesnt counter. Also even with Tenacity down he doesnt get stunned. I am at a loss on what to do. I am Using CLS GMY Thrawn R2 and Baze. I might try a Emperor Palp team with shock to see if that works but i dunno.

Radonis · May 18, 2019 10:31PM

Ok its not Working as intended as i did as Nihilus Anihilate and it didnt even take half his protection off. I guess ill report this bug in the bug section

Kyno · May 18, 2019 10:59PM

Yes it is WAI, he has the raid boss tag in thie event. Fracture and annihilate will work like a raid boss and not a normal toon.

Radonis · May 18, 2019 11:46PM

So how is this beatable? i beat it before but now it seems impossible he always gains his protection back even with shock on him.

Stud3099 · May 18, 2019 11:48PM

link your roster if you'd like some help

Esmatt · May 19, 2019 12:05AM

Use r2 to smokescreen, only attack dooku. Once stealth goes away attack the droids till r2 has smokescreen again. I run cls, solo, chewie, r2, gmy

Radonis · May 19, 2019 12:18AM

I might try that i usually killed off the droids cause B2 clears the Buffs. i might Kill b2 then go after Dooku

If you use your nightsisters I believe you still have access to the event ability that lands daze on Dooku. It still takes a year to beat him into submission but if you daze him you're good since he won't be able to counter and regain protection. You could even run a normal team and put Asajj in the squad to get the daze ability. Also you could use a toon that lands daze. If you're running a rebel squad, consider putting Zeb in with CLS for the daze on basic. Here are more characters with daze that you can bring in to prevent the counter attacks. Normal raid bosses are immune to daze but Dooku isn't even though he has a lot of tendencies of raid bosses in this event (immune to massive damage/annihilate, fracture doesn't prevent him from taking turns). Hope that helps!

I use DRevan

Daze helps. Healing immunity does too. I usually run an empire team with death trooper. If you wanted to get cheeky, you could use a zeta Vader lead and just let the dots pile up until you can get off a massive culling blade.

Wxrlock · May 19, 2019 1:59AM

Lol.. I just hit auto and walk away. There is nothing wrong with that event. You just have to use a more effective team.

YaeVizsla · May 19, 2019 2:06AM

Daze renders Dooku pretty much impotent, or just punch him really hard in the face.

DaPowerfulJedi · May 19, 2019 2:12AM

I used Resistance. Landed daze on Dooku with RJT, and with all the TM gain that the team has, the enemy didn’t even take a turn.

TheRigVeda · May 19, 2019 2:44AM

I used JKRevan team w/Bastila and Yoda spreading around the buffs. He was still annoying but after a few buffed team mass attacks in whittled away at him. Take the rest of the enemies out first and it gets easier.

SavageOprahs · May 19, 2019 2:49AM

I had to use Jedi training Rey resistance, JKR and my sith Squad couldn't beat it.

NinjaChronicles · May 19, 2019 4:00AM

Nestsisters worked for me quite well! Talzin(L) Asajj, Daka, zombie and Nest, highly recommended!

I use my 7* Padmé lead GR team. They're fun too.

AlsoSmarmyMarmy · May 19, 2019 6:07AM

Talzin with nighties will eventually kill him with plague. He'll keep beating up on the zombie. Just go auto and wait, like, an hour or two.
Or as mentioned, the special daze ability is useful to keep him from countering and keep his protection down. I just tried to use non-damaging abilities, so he doesn't counter, until a daze landed then go to town.

Funny, I noticed this for first time today too and was curious. Thanks for the answer.

richardlpalmer · May 19, 2019 7:17AM

NS team will make quick work of it.

Will they? Plague is pretty useless against Dooku due to the different calculation of % health effects on raid bosses.

That’s 100% not true. In the Defense of Dathomir event, Dooku is most certainly described as a Boss. Absolutely no question there. But, Thrawn’s fracture has a separate criteria for “Raid” bosses. DoD is not a raid, so in DoD, Dooku is not, and cannot be, a “Raid” Boss.

This is just one more example of how inept the devs (and their forum moderator minions) are. If all “Bosses” carry the same weight, they should just say “Boss”, not “Raid Boss”. If there is a difference between a generic “Boss” and a “Raid Boss”, that should be explicit.

Sorry, Kyno. You’re wrong. Again.

Cweneldic · May 19, 2019 7:44AM

My NS team can take it without losing anyone, but it takes me like 10+ minutes. my JKR team did it in 3-5 lol. ofc my JKR team has a g12 JKR while my NS has a g11 asajj, rest g10. I had been wondering why dooku was never stunned by JKR's direct focus though. that makes sense now

While it's not a raid, Dooku still counts as a "raid" boss and has the corresponding effects applied to him. No stun/shock/fear/ability lock, reduced % health damage and so on.

D4ni · May 19, 2019 8:13AM

stun, stun and more stun
JTR team (r2d2, bb8...) works well and fast

AnnerDoon · May 19, 2019 8:13AM

It’s either a raid, or it’s not. The DoD event is most definitely not a raid. So Dooku cannot be a Raid Boss as described.

AnnerDoon · May 19, 2019 8:17AM

If Thrawn’s ability stated “Boss”, it would be WAI. But, that’s not what it says.

UdalCuain · May 19, 2019 8:18AM

From the event designer:

In this thread: https://forums.galaxy-of-heroes.starwars.ea.com/discussion/179129/defense-of-dathomir-changes

"Raid boss" is a character tag in game which changes how certain attacks work on them. Doesn't have to be in a raid. Think you should maybe apologise to Kyno for being so rude, and the OP for spreading misinformation.

AnnerDoon · May 19, 2019 8:27AM

Nope. No apology forthcoming. DoD isn’t a raid. Therefore, there is no Raid Boss present. If the intent is that ALL bosses are treated as raid bosses, they shouldn’t differentiate that some abilities are specific to “raid” bosses. Is it too much to ask that ability descriptions are accurate? I think not.

Ok, so Dooku is "Extra special event (but totally not raid) boss", which just so happens to work exactly like a raid boss. Better now?
