So I was set up to do Light Side MALAK last two times but it was pulled before I got to it. Finally trying after watching all the vids to see if there is any pattern and how to set up mods.
-MALAK starts match with two stacks.
-killing a droid sometimes only removes 2 stacks instead of 3
- MALAK is countering any time I attack or use a skill, even when he is not targeted.
- I have had MALAK to 16 stacks, all droids dead, all pods gone, get MALAK to 50% health. He then one shots Zalbar, gets full health, attacks several times to get to 30 stacks, kills mission, then there is nothing I can do.
I can understand a difficult event but this seems bugged or impossible. Can someone check this event before giving me the “its been beat in the past” response? I am tired of wasting time on the event for it to not be beatable, especially after having EA **** us around in this (and not compensate us for the last screw up).

Mod bastilla for offense, same for mission and get as much speed as possible on jolee and zaalbar.. then just keep plugging... I got 6 stacks on and 3* it.
But really, follow those video strategies and after hours of frustration you'll be able to pull it off
- 2 hours on the 18th october
- 4 hours on the 25th october
- 3 hours on the 8th november
All my toons were at least g12+3 (except Mission +2) and all zetas have been activated.
I watched videos and tried their strategy.
I modified a lot gears (attack, critical damage chances, speed ...).
I tried without then with the zeta on Mission.
I put 4 relics on Revan.
I focused on droids plus on Malak, then only on Malak.
My teammates that had him months before told me it is doable and don’t understand why I couldn’t pass it, except if I am very bad
But finally did it, after 9 hours, and I don’t know how.
Did CG do something directly or indirectly (side effect of changes) on the difficulty between August and October ? I do believe they did.
All I can say is that if next big events difficulty is equal or harder, then I am done with the game. This event made me raging fir the first and last time, and even slapping my phone several times. Moreover with the double bug, it was shutdown twice. So I won’t rage anymore on the game. Game must be enjoyed or it does not desserve to spend more time on it.
I did it again today on first attempt followed same strategy as when I unlocked him last time. Keep killing droids to keep Malak stacks down while adding 5 armour shreds to him. Make sure he asborbs crit immunity tube, 1st one on right side. Destroy tube on far left so he doesn’t get crit damage, speed buffs. Keep topping Zalbaars health up using jolee. Other two tubes make no difference. Also you have to make good use of assists between, zalbaar and mission, and the assists that both Revan and bastilla can call.
In short it’s extremely tough event but not impossible or bugged so improve your toons and strategy and you will do it
@Oliv congrats on getting there!!
Jolee should just use heal, or call basti on anything but malak, basti should call zaalbar on anything but malak... don’t target malak unless you absolutely have too.
Do you have a gg account? Or ally request me in game and I’ll look at your mods for you.

Before shred armor on 4stacks i didnt use any special ability and it worked well.
Thanks Damodamo. I got frustrated so much that I just gave up. Reset all my mods back for GA. Not using AOE which is why I don’t understand why he counters after anything I do. Even If Jolee heals Zal, MALAK attacks my group. I only attack him when I have to. I let him grab crit pod first but he has 10 stacks before I can kill the first droid. Hell my guys might have all had one turn and MALAK has 10 stacks. Once I get him to multiple shreds and attack him, get him to about 1/3 health he no longer takes damage. It is the dumbest mission I have tried to play in any game. One guy in my guild finally got him and could not figure what he did different.
Recommended mods for toons again?

I agree. I have some of your complaints, like all your issues with this **** event. I’ve read reddit-tried several of there strategies, also several you tube videos. My brother finally got Malak, followed his strategy. Nothing. I attempted to inform ea help, they just say they can forward issues to somewhere else-they told me, I forgot. I am beyond ****. F this event, about to quit and delete this **** game from my phone and find another one to play. I thought Chewie was bad, NO comparison to this **** event. I cannot say how long I’ve been playing this game last two days. Played several times until ea games took it down last two days. I have given up. And I am tired people saying it’s this or that, try this or that. What a bunch of ****. This game wants you to be at a certain area and that’s it. This event is strictly RNG. No strategy works, just plain luck.
