So I recently hit level 62 and unlocked the top tier of the various gear challenges. Whilst with the STR and INT gear challenges, I can easily just put my team on auto and dominate the challenge, I find I can't even come close to beating the AGI challenge at top level. This is frustrating as I could really, REALLY use the mk.5 sorusuub keypad salvage parts for levelling my characters. Basically, as soon as Oppress uses his ability, I get shredded by the droids, which I can't take out fast enough, and even if I get a chance to heal, he generally one-shots one of my characters, gets his turn meter back and then takes out the rest.
In terms of my usable characters, I have Consular, Talia and Ima-Gun-Di at maxed or nearly maxed gear/character levels, Aayla Secura and Ugnaught in the level 50-gear 5 range, and most of my other healer/support chars basically suck (I'm belatedly working on farming Phasma but it'll be a long time before I have her at a useful level).
So, any tips? Is there some strategy I can be using, any particular character who owns this challenge, or do I simply need to invest some time into levelling up the characters I have, as well as unlocking/levelling Phasma?
Apologies if this has been done to death already - I'm new to the forums and I skimmed them for similar posts before asking.

Daka rocks in this btw.
Daka is key, without Daka I would almost never beat it. Dooku with attacking the droids quickly and stunning Savage sometimes also helps.
Thanks - though those are basically the tactics I've been using and I still get owned - guess I need to do some levelling, and maybe get both Phasma and Daka. If only Lumi was classed as a healer if be fine! Curse my noobish self for spending all my early Cantina credits on Boba f'n Fett!
If you can't stunlock him you need to kill the drones first, and use as msny healers se you can to quickly recover from the AOE
Can't set it to auto because you need to knock out the support droids first.
I have Daka, have used her here in the past, but the current lineup ends it quicker.
Basically take all the healers you can and if possible, don't use them until AoE.
Two key mechanisms:
- Oppress occasionally jumps and knocks your guys down to 1 HP.
- Oppress takes tons of extra damage any time he has any sort of debuff on him
In Tier 1 the first thing doesn't matter because the droids sit there. Above that, they shoot back, usually after he jumps, so 2 characters die. Solution: kill the droids before he jumps. You should be able to do that.
Second issue, you want to get debuffs on him as quickly and often as possible:
- Stuns are best because they are stuns... you whack him and he has to sit and take it.
- Talia's DOT special is often used for this because everyone has her. But at Tier 3 it may take too long to kill him and it may wear off. But try it at least. Tip: Try to apply it when his blue bar is low for maximum mileage.
- Phasma's AoE works for this but may be resisted.
You can also just "brute force" through this with lots of healing. He knocks off a chunk of his health also when he jumps. Just heal up so you don't lose guys when he does his regular attack, and keep at it.
Farm Daka when you get a chance. She's great in a lot of ways.
Bring Talia and 1 healer.
Don't auto
Save ALL your debuffing specials for Savage.
Kill droids 1st one at a time.
If he specials you to no life then pop 1 heal, not both.
Unload your AOE debuffs if you can kill the last droid within 1-2 shots of the AOE debuff. If not kill 2nd droid then debuff Savage.
At that point keep attacking, debuffing, 1-healing always trying to keep Talia or 1 heal ready.
I beat him 99% of tume with Phasma JC Talia Lobot HK47....
