Thanks a lot Mole. I won't personally benefit from this because I don't have Res or BB-8, however I do have a guild mate who does. We are working towards being able to have hAAT doable. I've showed this to him, hopefully this means we are 1 step closer to GK shards! Thanks again
i have a pretty stout res team and g10 bb8 what % should p3 at if im going to try and finish p3 and solo p4. plus is 240 speed good enough on bb8 i will have to move mods around
Great video! I was thinking that if you swapped out Resistence Pilot for Cassian Andor so that you could use his Crippling Shot special to copy all of the exposes over to the main tank over and over again that you would be able to shred it even faster. Not saying that you didn't do a good job of destroying it with your full Resistence team it but just think that Cassian would be interesting to see with this setup.
Joe Goodwin When I read your comment i was like wtf thats amazing. The Problem: Cassian DOES NOT get tm from zeta finn, so he will be able to get a turn just about everytime the tank gets to move, and he will have to wait out the cooldown so you could use his special only every four topples. Sry m8
What should i farm from cantina shipment? (I'm level 79 and I've 7 star EP, Wedge, Biggs, Ezra, Chopper, Kanan, Hera, Zeb, Vader, Rex, Qui Gon Jinn, Luminara, Java Scavenger, ST Han) Boba Fett (for dark side) or Hoth Rebel Scout (for tb) or Poe (for speed mod) challange or foo (for attack mod challange)
so just to get things straight, because BB8 inflicts tenacity down we don't need to put high potency on the other characters? as a result we can go crit damage and crit chance to increase damage output?
thanks that's great. however don't abilities like this just invalidate potency mods? don't really see the point in them now. the only mods people will ever need will be crit damage, crit chance and speed. the others seem pointless
Really? I personally didn't find that to be true. I had to potency up in order to get exposes to stick until I get rolling with bb8. I run 7+ mil on p2 but I can imagine not going potency again. Maybe I was hitting bad rng or something but it didn't work for me. Maybe when mod management comes I'll try again. Thanks for video mole
Nice video. Just got BB8 to 7* today. I was behind on FOST butvrefreshed all his nodes since event opened to get it done. What is optimal speed for bb8 to solo this? I'm at 230 speed now.
I know resistance is very rng dependant, but have you noticed bb8 helping that issue a bit? I have depended on r2 to boost that potency (p2) if potency mods are not so great would you recommend r2 for pilot or is bb8 sufficient? Nice vid!
+luke thighrocker with bb8 and his tenac28ty down, the tank only has a 15% chance to resist, which is as low as you can get. At that point it's best to just stack damage mods and hope for the best.
Hi Mcmole, I've been watching your channel for a while. Great content by the way. I know the video isn't about the imperial grand maneuver, but do you think Chewbacca could be a good substitute to shoretrooper in phase 3?, not to be able to auto it, but to be able to solo it. Something like a poor's man version. Sorry for my bad english. Thanks for the videos buddy, and for everything.
I don't think Chewie would be a good replacement. You're losing some Empire synergy that keeps Thrawn locked with his Fracture, plus Shore can heal the entire team, but Chewie cant.
I don't think there really is a viable replacement for shoretrooper in the grand maneuver. However, if you were running a regular tm removal team featuring Thrawn instead, Chief Nebit makes a viable replacement with his permataunt and self heals. You still need Thrawn to restore his protection though to give him the necessary survivability. Chewie could be considered a poor man's alternative to Nebit in that comp, but Nebit's pretty cheap as it is and Chewie really just isn't good enough to go last the distance.
Aye, what he said. Every expose triggered gives tm to resistance that the tank doesn't get which leads to many more turns. If you hit 2x as hard as me and I go 3x to your 1, I do more damage than you. Same principle here.
How come your guild only let you hit this phase? Surely that's unfair on everyone else? or at least tell them you're about to finish so they can jump in for damage? Great video either way, Keep up the good work!
+ellcraven99 it was an agreement set up before time. They held off on phase 4 so I could do a solo run to get footage. This is only the second time I've ever asked for that, and they are pretty accommodating.
Great group, but what I'm not getting is, why would you keep spamming Covert Data Transfer once your full team already has Secret Intel? Don't you want to do his basic at that point?
"BB-8 and a random ally who doesn't have it gain the Secret Intel unique buff for 3 turns. Then, BB-8 gains 8% Turn Meter for each ally with Secret Intel. If all active allies are Droids, BB-8 gains Taunt for 1 turn. Secret Intel: +25% Potency and when another ally uses a Special ability they gain Secret Intel for 3 turns, then the cooldown of Illuminated Destiny is reduced by 1 for each ally with Secret Intel. " By the wording, BB8 basically reduces the cooldown of illuminated destiny by 6 (5 for 5 secret intel buffs when BB8 used a special, 1 for because he took a turn) every time he uses it compared to the 2 it would reduce by if he used a basic attack (and only 1 if he didn't crit) and it gives him 40% tm so he will go nearly twice as often doing so. TLDR: using covert data transfer instead of his basic gives him 12 turns off of Illuminated Destiny in nearly the same time that he would take 1-2 off with his basic.
I find it interesting how the phrase "another ally" applies in this instance. Normally it means that that effect won't trigger for the person who's ability it is. In this instance, however, the words are on the buff itself rather than attached to the ability. The cooldown reduction is also tied to the buff itself instead of the ability. The difference this makes basically means that whether or not the buff applying comes with cooldown reduction depends on where it originated. In other words, when BB8 uses it for the first time, there will be no cooldown reduction of illuminated destiny because he didn't obtain it from someone else by using a special ability. However, as long as just one other person has illuminated destiny out there, he will obtain the buff contagiously as well as by giving it to himself and the cooldown reduction will begin.
Who else was waiting for him to pop those 75 exposes on the droid?!?!

+phonebreaker ! Glad to help!
When you say the bomber one-shots you, it reminds me of Destiny (thinking Calus’ blast while you’re on the plate haha) nice video!
+Peter Siu haha thanks. Hoping to get to calus here soon in the raid.
That row of expose spans the entire screen o.o
imagine vaders damage on those debuffs with his unique
That right B2 battle droid reminds me of the time Katy Perry did the superbowl half time performance and the left shark completely messed up
+Oscar Quigley lol. That's a good analogy
i have a pretty stout res team and g10 bb8 what % should p3 at if im going to try and finish p3 and solo p4. plus is 240 speed good enough on bb8 i will have to move mods around
Cooldown, 47 turns, 23 turn, 4 turns
That's nuts
This is madness
+M3xY W33zY madness you say?
McMole2 Hey my guild is about to run hAAT and I've got a G10 team of Clones. Who is better as of now, Scav Pathfinder or Leia (For P2)

Julian Clüsserath Ah, didn't realize that. Then he would be pretty useless. Thanks for the reply.
Expose train
working on bb8!
What should i farm from cantina shipment?
(I'm level 79 and I've 7 star EP, Wedge, Biggs, Ezra, Chopper, Kanan, Hera, Zeb, Vader, Rex, Qui Gon Jinn, Luminara, Java Scavenger, ST Han)
Boba Fett (for dark side) or Hoth Rebel Scout (for tb) or Poe (for speed mod) challange or foo (for attack mod challange)
boba
Lot of 7☆s.
definitely not scout. Try Poe for when you zeta your finn or fives for his ship.
I'm gonna Zeta Finn. I'm gearing up Teebo, Jyn and Poe at the same time!
Btw! DAMN! 7☆ EZRA!
What about switching out the resistance pilot for R2 D2 when he has the numbers crunch zeta? Since he increases potency would he be better?
+Wolverine DOC you don't need the bonus potency because of tenacity down
They don't work together? Thanks for responding by the way.
+Wolverine DOC r2 can still work with bb8 pretty well, but not in the raid
so just to get things straight, because BB8 inflicts tenacity down we don't need to put high potency on the other characters? as a result we can go crit damage and crit chance to increase damage output?
+Jon Prichard yep, you got it
thanks that's great. however don't abilities like this just invalidate potency mods? don't really see the point in them now. the only mods people will ever need will be crit damage, crit chance and speed. the others seem pointless
Really? I personally didn't find that to be true. I had to potency up in order to get exposes to stick until I get rolling with bb8. I run 7+ mil on p2 but I can imagine not going potency again. Maybe I was hitting bad rng or something but it didn't work for me. Maybe when mod management comes I'll try again. Thanks for video mole
Any replacements for BB-8? I have R2D2, Jyn.... Etc.
Nice video. Just got BB8 to 7* today. I was behind on FOST butvrefreshed all his nodes since event opened to get it done. What is optimal speed for bb8 to solo this? I'm at 230 speed now.
+Billy Gunn 230 is plenty
I know resistance is very rng dependant, but have you noticed bb8 helping that issue a bit? I have depended on r2 to boost that potency (p2) if potency mods are not so great would you recommend r2 for pilot or is bb8 sufficient? Nice vid!
+luke thighrocker with bb8 and his tenac28ty down, the tank only has a 15% chance to resist, which is as low as you can get. At that point it's best to just stack damage mods and hope for the best.
Just wondering why you kill off the other B2 droid and only keep one alive?
Hi Mcmole, I've been watching your channel for a while. Great content by the way.
I know the video isn't about the imperial grand maneuver, but do you think Chewbacca could be a good substitute to shoretrooper in phase 3?, not to be able to auto it, but to be able to solo it. Something like a poor's man version.
Sorry for my bad english. Thanks for the videos buddy, and for everything.
And of course four other empire units. Chewbacca has turn meter reduction, increases his life and selfheal
I don't think Chewie would be a good replacement. You're losing some Empire synergy that keeps Thrawn locked with his Fracture, plus Shore can heal the entire team, but Chewie cant.
Thanks for the answer Mcmole, and have a good time.
I don't think there really is a viable replacement for shoretrooper in the grand maneuver. However, if you were running a regular tm removal team featuring Thrawn instead, Chief Nebit makes a viable replacement with his permataunt and self heals. You still need Thrawn to restore his protection though to give him the necessary survivability. Chewie could be considered a poor man's alternative to Nebit in that comp, but Nebit's pretty cheap as it is and Chewie really just isn't good enough to go last the distance.
Jeffrey Woodward Thanks man y never considered Nebit as an option, I'll see if he is a good option
How about p2? Do you think bb8 finally makes it soloable?
+Kreontas SWGOH you'll need really good rng and mods, but it's possible
you think you can solo it with all of them at g10?Or even g9/10?
+Randomgames with Daniel oh yeah, totally
Randomgames with Daniel pretty sure it's possible with g6+ just takes a longer time
disabledmineman Ah g6 not g11 took him 6 topples so you need to deal at least like a 3rd of a g11 toons dmg...
What about Rey instead of Pilot? I have a Zeta on her and I think she would do a lot more damage than the pilot.
unfortunately the exposes pilot offers are more important than the raw damage from rey, and now that bb8 applies daze she is less important
Aye, what he said. Every expose triggered gives tm to resistance that the tank doesn't get which leads to many more turns. If you hit 2x as hard as me and I go 3x to your 1, I do more damage than you. Same principle here.
I solo'd it with a level 80 g8 bb8.
What speed does your BB8 have?
How long roughly did this take to record?
+Zom8ie5layer 117 about 20-25 minutes
How come your guild only let you hit this phase? Surely that's unfair on everyone else? or at least tell them you're about to finish so they can jump in for damage?
Great video either way, Keep up the good work!

+Rick Johnson gives him bonus turn meter, and shortens the cooldown on illuminated destiny

Why wouldn't he hit that B2 with 900 exposes!?
+The Chode because it's fun to just keep stacking them
McMole2 I meant at the end right before you finish off the tank. Maybe I'll just use my team and see what damage I can do. Great video though
My FoST is only 5*... sad little me :/
Great Video McMole - this first of all BUT for me, as one whose native language is not english, you talk a bit too fast :D
anyway.. thx for the video
