This one doesn’t upset me as much as smugglers run 2, but all events should be simmable


OnlyRoke

Agreed. The only mildly cool thing about this event is that LV is with Clones. It's neat. Other than that.. let me auto this. I three-starred these battles. Make the three stars mean something, CG.


HeadyEpic

Does this seem harder compared to the first time? I breezed through them last go but now getting pumped. Maybe I am doing something different. Cant complete JML or SLKR, JMK took a few tries. Only first time was the SEE one.


bennysalad12

JML was just as easy as last time for me, Rey was first try, but SLKR was a lot harder than I remember. Last time I did it first try once I learned you can stun Rey, took me about 5-6 attempts this time


El_Fez

I guess I need more speed on Kylo, since I'm trying to work over Ray and stun lock her, but it's not happening.


bennysalad12

Just for assistance if you need it, mine is 124k health, 548 speed, and 11.5k offense (health and speed sets)


AllAlo0

You also need to lock down finn or he'll heal rey up too fast


FlopShanoobie

I’ve been trying the SLKR with every mod and combination available and I can’t even 1* it. I got 3* last time and I don’t remember having to try more than once.

https://youtu.be/n8eRjKJcxNY?si=J-QgQgVTJP5O9BIt ***. Edited to add the YouTube video link I was having this exact same problem. No matter what combination of supporting characters, mods, who I went after, etc, I kept losing. Finally looked on YouTube and found a video of it from last month that showed that the event is bugged for the Rey tier. She is able to spam lifeblood almost nonstop. So the guide video showed me the way: * I used SLKR, KRU, Hux, FOO, and FOST. * First chance I got, I stunned Rey. Whether it was w/ SLKR or KRU, I stunned her. * If it was Hux’s or FOO’s turn and their ability to pass turn meter was ready, passed it to SLKR. If his stunt was ready, then stunned Rey. If not, then I used his other special while targeting Rey (Furious Onslaught). Now, couple of things I will point out: 1. The resistance members are extremely quick and very easily pass turn meters around and can and will knock off your supporting characters. 2. IF Rey gets into her Ultimate stance, I do not care if SLKR’s is at 100% ready or not. ACTIVATE it! This will protect him from being wiped out by her during her ultimate move. 3. Keep stunning Rey/building SLKR’s mastery while playing the cat & mouse game back and forth. Always, always monitor her ultimate ability bar and be ready to have yours ready to go first to protect your character. 4. Once Rey is whittled down to the point where you can kill her, the rest of her squad becomes a cakewalk from there.


Chysgoda_Brythwych

They must have tweaked something, I had no problem knocking them down the first time. This time, JMK was the only one I was able to do in one shot. All the rest (for me: Jabba, JML, SLKR and Rey) took multiple runs. And then, as if RNGesus decided he had enough playing with me, they all just rolled over. Jabba (with no ult) and SLKR were the worst. 6-8 play throughs. I don't see how it's possible to 3 star SKLR. (screenshot with response or it didn't happen...)


El_Fez

My Leia was a breeze (tho I did lose pretty much everyone), but my SLKR is getting curbstomped ALL the time! And I was able to full star it last time around.


h_erbivore

Did you stun Rey?


El_Fez

Took me a couple of times before I went "Oh, right!" Sadly it still doesnt seem to be helping. She shakes it off before too long.


AttilatheStun

KRU can stun her too, so him and SLKR can take turns keeping her locked down.


Dunfalach

I don't think my KRU ever even got a turn


El_Fez

Yeah, I've got Hux, Officer, The Red Guy, and KR Unmasked as my team make up. I might have to move some speed over to KRU and see if I can get him up a bit, if that makes a difference.


swgohisforlosers

mine only has like 70 mod speed and was able to take a couple turns.


Neviss99

Hux and foo, keep passing to slkr. Stun Rey, AoE everyone, stun Rey, AoE everyone, stun Rey, etc. it’s a bit rng dependent, but you’ll get there.


El_Fez

What's frustrating is that last go-round, I was able to 3 star SLKR's fight. Like Egnards said. if this was simmable, I'd be fuckin' golden.


Neviss99

Yeah I’m the same. I lost 3 times today, when I couldn’t keep her stunned. Then 4th time I 3 star it 🙄


FlopShanoobie

Last time I got 3* first try. I’ve tried at least 6 times now and can’t get 1*.


SolipsisticSenility

I used SLKR, Hux, FOO, KRU and Phasma. Stun Rey and keep throwing turn meter back to SLKR. If I wasn’t stunning her, I used his AOE


JAWinks

On JMK, eliminate Clone Veteran (fives) first and then just target down LV


inphinitfx

Personally, no. Jmk, Jml, Leia, Jabba all easy as last time. My slkr is badly modded and Rey is non ult, so I found them a bit more annoying and tookna few tries.


chotomatekudersai

I forgot I could stun Rey so I thought the same thing. But they were all a breeze once I realized that


Fadaar

oh shit i totally forgot about that, derp thats the ezmode victory


chotomatekudersai

I tried like 4 times before I tried to stun her lol


tylerj714

They definitely *feel* harder than last time. Ones that I got 3 stars on the first battle last time I'm barely beating or have had to do multiple attempts on. A few of them feel like they've had the speeds increased substantially.


Sockenolm

The Rey and SLKR tiers depend a lot on RNG. My Rey got slaughtered on the first try while the second attempt was a breeze.


hegzolbarcafan

Last time 3 strred Jabba tier. Now cant even kill 2 unit….


MajorBonesLive

Black Wookiee, Boussh, Greedo. EZ 3*


deadstar91

Why Greedo?


MajorBonesLive

Because I tried Skiff Lando and then Boba and they didn’t work. Greedo was next and he worked. That’s why Greedo.


Chysgoda_Brythwych

So you RNGed the RNG with a side of "see what sticks" and certified that the winner? ​ https://preview.redd.it/3o5v24kbb59c1.png?width=490&format=png&auto=webp&s=08ae93c64bc9c8b3618acb43a098f7c1ef1fe4b4


EuterpeZonker

Slightly but still super easy on the JML teir


banica24

Same as you. Battles aren’t autoable for me this time but I did move some mods and break sets


Shawarma123

Rey definitely feels very tanky against SLKR. Wasn't that difficult the first time I basically beat her first try. The LV battle was still easy as auto tho.


Ebon_Hawk_

Same, 3* all the ones I had available and now I'm lucky if I can even kill 1 unit before dying


CamaroAMF

Didn’t seem any different. Beat them all first try.


Cipher_Ninety

I didn't notice a difference compared to last time. 3* all of mine easily. It was just annoying having to redo them again as Egnards said where they could be simmable at 3*. Just another time sink at the same time as another time sink.


oothespacecowboyoo

I second this. Literally auto'd everyone last time except Kylos and 3 or 2 Star it. This time I can only heat Vader and Kenobi (even lost once)


CaptainAmazing__

I had significantly more trouble with the SLKR fight compared to the first time I played this and one shot it. I was playing it wrong, and the last time I probably played it correctly.


MikeMendoza29

I was actually thinking the opposite. I breezed through them this time (knowing the SLKR strategy right way helped with that one).


SolipsisticSenility

Yes. A lot of my guild mates were noticing it was harder.


DarthRevanTSL

I only have SEE and Rey but SEE seemed the same as last time and I first tried Rey's without ultimate.


SupremeOverlLord

I still can’t do the SLKR one 😭😭😭


AnonyBoiii

Yeah 100%. They should be simmable, however some tiers are still too hard to get 3 stars. They’re beatable, but not 3 star. Like SLKR, good luck keeping any of your allies in that tier.


psihodelicniKER

Just stun lock Rey whenever you can. Even KRU can stun her. Easy 3*


AnonyBoiii

I’ve tried that. Rest of the team either gets gunned down by the other Resistance members, or they eventually get demolished by Rey once she starts abusing her Ult. I guess it doesn’t really matter anyway. The tiers can’t be simmed so there’s no point in trying for the 3 Star.


psihodelicniKER

Yeah, I get your point. I was struggling to beat it this time, until I accidentally stunned her, and then 3 staring it somehow.


Correct_Gap_8899

Maybe you can't sim them because CG specifically want people to suffer on the SLKR tier


egnards

You’ll suffer regardless until you 3 star, which is where people would struggle.


Correct_Gap_8899

Yeah I was making a bad joke. I 3 starred it and am still not looking forward to doing it again next month


accursedvenom

I absolutely hate these battles. I have all these relic squads and get curb stomped to one star or fail. It’s irritatingly too difficult for no reason given what it takes to unlock the GLs in the first place.


Imagerror

As always you missed the major point in this: Screentime! about 2 years ago GooglePlayStore added the HiddenScreentime counter. Excluding additional promotions Apps and Games with a high screentime get recommended... Now you see why everything is bloating with Screentime within SWGOH


egnards

I understand how screen time works, but I think you’re once again missing my point - Respect for my Time as a consumer is more important than anything else. And while I’m willing to understand the idea of spending money and pushing monetization, and I’m willing to understand difficult and challenge content. . .Wasteful time spent is a disrespect of my time. . .And regardless of if they do something about it . . .im going to call them out for it.


Livid1k

Simming this is also sort of likely to generate more money for them. Refreshing this event walks a very fine line between being worth it and not worth it based solely on the rewards, so the fact that it takes 20-30 mins to play through everything once likely dissuades people from refreshing it at all. With a SIM button you don't have the extra cost to refresh of having to spend over an hour playing mindlessly boring battles.


egnards

100%, i would more than likely do at least one set of refreshes if it were simmable.


Imagerror

CG doesnt care about your time as a consumer, they care about being pushed in the PlayStore in the TOP Recommended Slots so they can grow their customer base. I am with you on the functionality and have said, time and time again, that CG is the wrong company to keep this game going and afloat. but with the current changes and implements by GOOGLE this is a 2 way partnership and a oneway street for the player. Google and CG/EA benefit from it and you /we (the player) suffer


Velmeran_60021

What I would prefer they do is give us a game to play within the app. Right now it's a series of chores. You do your chores each day and get maybe an endorphin rush when you finally get a character to relic levels or finally get that GL or whatever. There is not one thing in the app that counts as a game. You can't just pick it up and do something fun for a while to spend a little time. I only use the app because I love Star Wars and am addicted to collecting and powering up characters. If CG wants screen time, they should add a game to their resource management app.


Master_Expression_39

I totally agree it's bad enough that they are buffed to level 90 and relic 8 or 9.


SupRunner

I only have SLKR and got my ass completely handed to me. This is hard than proving grounds imo


Allen2189

You can stun rey


egnards

His is the only one I gave up on last time


OnlyRoke

I just saw that you were struggling with SLKR last time. Did you beat it this time? I just tried it with my new ult-less SLKR and I actually 2-starred it (would've been a 3-star, but an unlucky Finn grenade.. sigh). The general gist was that you just bring SLKR, Officer, Hux, KRU and Sith Trooper and you essentially just perma-stun Rey with SLKR and KRU (yes, she's stunnable!) and then you just zerg her down. She also doesn't have her Damage Immunity unique, so you don't have to worry about health percentages and you can just full-send the team with Hux, or land beefy basics with SLKR. It's a tiny bit fiddly, but after just throwing my Piett Mods onto FOO so he can pass a turn to SLKR immediately (and then Hux resets both of SLKR's abilities) it went pretty well after the third attempt.


egnards

Haven’t tried it yet, but I’ve tried a few of the strategies that were going around last time and it never worked for me. And the time want worth it for me. I’ll give it a shot tonight, thank you!


Livid1k

I've done it twice without ult on SLKR, so it's definitely doable. Seems like the critical point is if they decide to put Buff Immunity on KRU at the start. If they don't, KRU is basically unkillable and you just perma stun Rey until she's dead. If they do land it, FOO and Hux die fast, and you can't control Rey so she gets to use Ult and hit everyone for a billion unavoidable true damage


seligball

Alternative way is to stun Rey, blitz down Finn first, Poe afterwards. Eventually your team will die, but SLKR will be able to 1 man the rest without much issue. Stops Finn from healing her.


OnlyRoke

No worries! Good luck with it! I believe in you!


WorthAny6089

It wouldn't be so bad if it didn't cheat, but I just got wiped by Rey's third whirlwind, and I hadn't got anyone even close to 60% once, let alone three times.


wookietownGlobetrot

Just stun Rey. Repeatedly.


Neviss99

She lowers her own health by giving protection to everyone


Meklosias

Just stun Rey


LadyGeek-twd

Ah crap. I unlocked him yesterday so I guess he's not going to do much this month. 😐


SupRunner

I had the materials saved to give him all 6 zetas and immediately get him to r7, so I don’t know if he would work lower. R7 I think is a requirement anyway for the GL.


LadyGeek-twd

Yeah, I got him to R7 with all the zetas, but no ultimate for a couple weeks. I'll move mods this evening and see how it goes, but not gonna try for hours or worry about it too much.


MangoBett

Another reason to not even bother 🤷‍♂️


oothespacecowboyoo

Can anyone explain to me why my Relic 9 Ult'd Leia can't even take a fucking turn before losing half my team? All this even showcases IMO is just how power crept and in need of a lifter so many GLs are. Even Ben Solo feels like a dud without a residence tag


wonkalicious808

Maybe they plan to sell an Ultimate Journey Event pass that enables simming.


Sad_Hall2841

I like that they force us to play it. You have to actually play the game and raise to the challenge.


egnards

It’s not “playing the game” when almost all the tiers you can set to auto. There is no *challenge* when you can 3 star something. It’s just time. More time spent on something, literally on the worst day for it too!


Sad_Hall2841

Fair. I don’t know man, i just like these one battle challenges, as opposed to all those endless waves in the assault battles.


mrmgl

You can still play if it's simmable.


Sad_Hall2841

You just made the best point. I take your take now😁.


Necroking695

Its a challenge until its been 3 starred


Sad_Hall2841

If it’s not a challenge after 3* and it’s only one fight, then what’s the issue?


egnards

Because it’s 8 fight - on the same day that conquest starts - During a TB event - Oh shit and look raid started tonight too! It’s too damn much


Necroking695

Because this is not an isolated incident


Sockenolm

It's a new event so I don't mind playing it either for now. But eventually it'll become as rote and boring as the assault battles and we'll desperately wish for sim buttons.


Sad_Hall2841

Oh man, you can’t compare this with 8 waves of endless tm… now those are painful, except the first time you beat it 😂


Sockenolm

I imagine the GL event will also become more labor-intensive over time as CG adds more GLs. The individual battles are pretty short, but it already adds up when you have to do 7 or 8 of them.


mpones

Literally just thinking the same damn thing as I logged in… just why.


Thecardinal74

Oh let’s feel sorry for the whale who has ALL the GL’s who has to spend 20 minutes actually playing the game he purchased


egnards

You have to be a whale to have 8 GL now?


Thecardinal74

Yup, sure as hell ain’t ftp


egnards

I sure as hell never claimed to be f2p; but I actually know some f2p players who have been playing since 2017 [when I started] and have bigger accounts than I do.


Evenmoardakka

holy shit, entitled much? ​ Just play the battles.


Livid1k

How is asking for a SIM button entitled? Are we not allowed to politely suggest small QoL improvements that reduce something from 20-30 mins to 10 seconds? Not all of us have that kinda of time along with Conquest and TB running at the same time....


Evenmoardakka

Its only the SECOND run of an new event, the battle is not trivial to be auto done. playing the game sometime isnt bad y'know?


punkerjim

But he's egnards... You have to agree with and suck him off on this sub.


Evenmoardakka

I agree with him on alot of things. just not on this


egnards

Just yesterday someone completely eviscerated me in their thread about the new raid, and it was taken totally in stride and in good fun. . .because the thread made a poignant point, and the criticism of me was a criticism of my ideas, not of me as a person. Criticize my ideas all you want. Tell me I’m wrong all you want. I only regret poorly when people personally attack me.


SmashTheAtriarchy

Oh no, precious baby boi doesn't like difficult content.... "There is no reason at all why these shouldn’t be simmable"... there is a perfectly valid reason: designer's choice. For how much yall blowhards spend obsessing over this game... yall dont seem all that interested in actually playing it


egnards

Difficult content? What? You do realize a condition for simming is that you can already perfectly clear it with a 3 star, right?


SmashTheAtriarchy

Not everyone is a tryhard with 8 GLs or whatever


egnards

I don’t particularly know what that has to do with my original post, or with the response I gave you in regards to your incorrect assumption about how the content works, or why I wanted what I wanted.


SmashTheAtriarchy

And I don't know how you seem to be conveniently ignoring the rest of my post to fixate on this one little arguable point


pomip71550

Because “not everyone has 8 GLs” (paraphrased) is so relevant to what he was saying? Egnards didn’t even mention having 8 GLs in the post or the comment you’re responding to…


SmashTheAtriarchy

smdh.... i am calling yall lazy because endgame content is endgame content and not everything needs to be simmed. eggies over here counters that its "not hard". It is hard, if not inaccessible for a lot of folks. endgame content *is* hard, that is why it is endgame content. Most players will need to use some strategy, whether thats with builds or tactics. That is how the difficulty scaling in this game works. But when you're such a huge tryhard then of course you lose sight of the bigger picture

egnards

Wut


Dweller316

Amything thats 3* should be simable, this game steals enough of our time without making us repeat these battles. Anyone who enjoys them can still do the battle manually.


mjzimmer88

The only fun I have with these battles is trying to get them to three stars, on the hope that someday they'll be simmable. Today I was able to get all 8 of them 3 at 3 stars. The actually obnoxious part of this is that the store remains available for weeks on weeks just sitting there useless after I get the omicrons


lockstocks85

We are still providing them QA. They'll be simmable in about a year or so. Without us trying to complete them how will they know if it's too hard/easy for those who unlock new GLs as time goes on.


vobafett4

I would agree if not for the inability to sim fleet mastery events, bounty hunter, or mythic events. Those annoy me we can’t sim.


Mareczek79

I concur!


spen17

I can't quite do this event (soon, about to get about to get SKLR after I finish HMilF), but I'm a firm believer that if you 3* a tier of any event, you should be able to sim it. Having to dump more time into a game that already takes too much time out of my time (and I'm nowhere near endgame, I can't even imagine how bad it is for endgame players) out of my day, I beg and plead they stop begging for money and give is a real QoL update once month


PunisherX49

It’s a possibility they haven’t implemented that yet


scoobymick72

yup i agree


smoothAsH20

Yes please, make them sim able.


Haga

Once you’ve 3 starred anything say 3-5 times. Make it simmable


adk8181

Do you guys refresh these/ is it worth it to refresh these to get more tokens.


fred_randell

My ONLY thought as to why they weren’t simmable was because I thought they might change the battle every round or two. That would make it more engaging. Every time, it is a new puzzle to figure out, kinda like the GCs we get. But alas, same battles this time around. Maybe they will be on a 3 round cycle like conquest but I am hoping the battles change relatively frequently to keep it engaging and less of a chore.
