Malgus

[lime gulch]

i have seen a video with slkr beating with a full FO team but its rng dependent

[main crag]

Needs lobster zeta and R8 SLKR, plus might need a bit more work on your KRU mods but those could work

[lime gulch]

also looks like gas can beat it but he needs wat

[hardy kraken]

Even with r8 slkr it’s agonizingly rng heavy

[hardy kraken]

Spent over 100 minutes trying stuff out

[hardy kraken]

But it turns out that yes, rey without ben can indeed 3* this tier

[lime gulch]

any specific strategy ?

[main crag]

Oooh I am close to getting that comp, and was gonna get GK anyway

I might push for that

Malgus on sim would be nice

[hardy kraken]

Hope jtr gets to go first on my team then hope rey gets to ww dr to kill him after

Then hope someone on their team gets deathmark next so I can whirlwind them and hopefully my toons stay alive

When it was down to malgus bsf and rey, my rey got the deathmark but I managed to dispel malgus’s taunt and kill bsf before it came back up

When it’s just solo malgus it’s still not free

You still need to balance rey’s lifebloods (to keep the team alive), basics (to bring her health back up, for her to live and also for more lifebloods and whirlwinds), and whirlwinds and ults (to do the damage)

Cal was very helpful with his sp1

[lime gulch]

so some rng and use ray kit wisely

thanks i might go for ray soon

[random bison]

i don't need to 3*, I just need to win

[hardy kraken]

Sure

That’s completely understandable

[random bison]

any strategy for that

i mean ;-;

[hardy kraken]

But I suspect 3* isn’t that much harder than beating normally

[random bison]

I've been trying slkr for about 10 hours now

[hardy kraken]

Because the victory is on such thin margins

If he gets a dark ascension, he’s harder to kill and does even more damage

Which means the toons that are barely hanging on will have an even rougher time

[random bison]

is it possible to ww malgus put before any side toon?

[hardy kraken]

I tried that

It was very rng but then I was reminded of talon’s savior mechanic

[random bison]

ah

yeah

talon

this is what i could use

[hardy kraken]

One issue is that they do a ton of damage

So I found it more important to be aggressive with whirlwinds than healing

Until you get down to the final 2 or so

If you stall then the damage immunity will run out and it’ll be harder to keep them alive

[random bison]

i have gk but he's r3 and horribly modded

[hardy kraken]

I mean this is important right?

You could borrow someone’s mods

I understand being low on signal data, but if you have a bit to spare then r3->5 is pretty cheap

[random bison]

does speed matter at all for him or nah

[random bison]

none to spare unfortunately

[hardy kraken]

Uh

I think speed is actually detrimental on gk and l3

For this case

Because then DI runs out quicker

[random bison]

would holdo work in his stead

actual wait no ill just give holdos mods to him

[hardy kraken]

Maybe but probably not as well

[random bison]

holdo is 100k/100k

[hardy kraken]

Since he has a cleanse and a mass assist and tm gain (if you ever get a turn where he’s not ability blocked lol), as well as an autotaunt

Plus the crit immunity ofc

[random bison]

holdos mods on gk is 69/86..

[random bison]

true

[hardy kraken]

Probably the relic difference

[random bison]

true

[hardy kraken]

I didn’t move around mods but that’s because I already had cal jtr gk and (to a lesser extent) l3 modded to go under rey

[random bison]

got dr and sa out

[hardy kraken]

If you can slow them down though that may help

[random bison]

then got wiped :/

[hardy kraken]

Yeah it’s rough

[random bison]

i could've sworn We Have Returned had a cap of four no?

[hardy kraken]

Especially how they can just bypass the damage immunity phase by doing more damage

[hardy kraken]

Idk much about the kit

[random bison]

i do believe that's wrong, but i could be wrong

i can usually get down to this

malgus v slkr

[inland granite]

Nah there's no cap
I remember when we had a feat to get 80 or so of We Have Returned in CQ, so I used Malgus vs a team with Ahsoka and everyone on my team had around 20 at once lol

[random bison]

any tips for this kill order

[hardy kraken]

With slkr?

[random bison]

yeah

slkr is the gl I have better modded

[hardy kraken]

For the rey strat I just accepted any order that didn’t have malgus get deathmarked before the final 2

[hardy kraken]

I mean it’s subjective but I spent around half an hour with that rey comp to win and I tried slkr for 4 hours last month and never won

[random bison]

aye but

I have horrid mods

[hardy kraken]

Ok

[random bison]

@hardy kraken

nevermind

[hardy kraken]

Congrats!

Glad it worked out for you

[random bison]

thank you so much

[hardy kraken]

You’re welcome

As a community we gotta help each other in cases like this

[main crag]

@mild hatch

[mild hatch]

o7

relic cal is doable by next month

[hardy kraken]

He’s there mainly for the dispel heal tbh

If you have someone else survivable that can fill that role it’d probably be fine

[mild hatch]

I can easily remod

dispels + heals huh

may as well do cal tbh I've got all his g12 pieces done, just need the 3 right side

[random bison]

^

i didn't need it in the end, but it was useful

[mild hatch]

I could have saved so much pain today LOL

I'll keep it in mind for next month tho tysm

[hardy kraken]

Well the dispel combined with the heal

They debuff you pretty heavily for most of the battle

[mild hatch]

yeah

[hardy kraken]

Having a heal that removes shock or HI first is nice

But ofc its rng dependent since you can’t use it if ability blocked

[mild hatch]

true

[halcyon raven]

the only team ive beaten sith empire teams with any regularity with is zorii...any chance that could work?

[main crag]

Very doubtful, they'll get all their plays out first and spread fear, debuffs everything around so itll be tricky to recover from that

[burnt horizon]

Need help on who to use on him. Iv tried cere iv tried padme, I’d tried revan iv tried GI none of them work.

[queen anvil]

thank you for sharing this. In a few months, I think I can get there.

[queen anvil]

if you didnt have cal and needed a 5th one to gear for the event, who would you gear ? I do have cal 7 stars, but i will need to gear him.

[hardy kraken]

I don’t really know tbh

I don’t remember kits all that well

Cal is a good toon to gear though since he goes well under rey

[queen anvil]

how about baris offee ?

I am going to get rey soon, dont know the comps that well

I will also get ben, next month and CAT. I dont have JMK so I will use her with rey

[queen anvil]

I have 7 stared him for this purpose, I just want to make sure

[hardy turret]

3*. Got Dr, talon and basti out first and deathmark on jyn afterwards. No AOE's left so smooth sailing from there

[nocturne wind]

I’m trying to beat it with SLKR but deathmark doesn’t seem to stick on my SLKR, even though nobody has it and he is the one attacking, is there something I’m missing?

[halcyon raven]

dont think it works on GL's

[main crag]

You likely have the press the advantage zeta applied

It makes him immune to taunt effects and deathmark counts as one

[nocturne wind]

🙃

Yeap, I’m doomed

Thanks

[main crag]

You dont rly want deathmark on slkr much anyway

[dull patrol]

Does Malgus have his Omis activ?

[inland granite]

No

It's not GAC

[queen anvil]

Has anyone done Malgus with Bane, without SEE ? Bane lead and non-gl sith.

[civic schooner]

.

[rich raven]

Used r5 Malak as second

[queen anvil]

Ohh yeah, forgot to add without Malak. SEE and Malak are both long farms

[gilded magnet]

Try Traya lead with slkr and malak. Rng is definitely needed but try not to get death mark on malgus. That’s how I get my Malgus shards. It’s not pretty but it works.

[random bison]

I unlocked malgus

it's good

I used the rey comp

[somber spindle]

Here I got it done with SLKR @queen anvil zeta on Sith trooper improved rng

Stopped using SLKR after I unlocked JML

[queen anvil]

That’s what I did, but wasn’t enough with my mods and zetas 🙂

[somber spindle]

Are you working on JML or Leia?

[queen anvil]

I was first going for Leila, but then the ls bundles hit and I wanted to get AB teams, CLS, now gungans, so it will be a while. The biggest bottleneck I had was ROLO, I will have her in the next galactic event

[somber spindle]

The Ewok LSB pushed me into finishing Leia before Jabba. Before I did JML

[wispy wigeon]

https://swgoh.gg/p/555472186/characters/ Do I have any way to beat the malgus tier of proving grounds, or is there any upgrade I can make to beat it?

[real kiln]

I’ve been trying the Rey with Cal, JTR, L3-37 and GK squad in the Malgus event and am struggling. What is the strategy with that squad?

[burnt horizon]

https://swgoh.gg/p/375862676/characters/ have i got anyone that i can do it with iv tried cere and can only take one out

[main crag]

Maybe with a relic malak you could do a traya lead team or something

I think I've heard people say that works

[burnt horizon]

Yea I might have to. Iv tried traya with nih talon DR DB but it got destroyed lol

Didn’t even get a chance to really take a turn

[viral garnet]

what's the kill order here

[rich raven]

Bastilla, talon then revan if you can. May take a few tries. But I’ve had the best luck with timing out my second ability to kill all three with one hit

Used Malak to drain bastilla then talon, and get them low enough so you can kill them two together at least. Then revan

[viral garnet]

thanks, I'll give it a try

[rich raven]

Once you get to a 1v1 with malgus should be plain sailing from there. Gotta reach 80-90 stacks of siphon to kill him.

[hardy kraken]

I’m trying to get a recording of my 3* strat with rey but so far it’s been real tough

[hardy kraken]

I didn’t 3* it but I finally got a recording of the end of a 2* after 2 hours

Whatever

[dull patrol]

What's the gp-wise cheapest way of turning a R5 SLKR with FO into a team that beats this? Would adding simply like R5 Traya/Thrawn and Malak do the job?

[cold ivy]

I've heard that Malak could definitely help

[hardy kraken]

Why are you conserving GP? Lower GP isn’t ever a bad thing afaik, and it’s not a great way to measure effort/time/resources to get

If you have rey I have a rey strat for 3*

[finite sandal]

I used traya lead with malak, SLKR, SET, and nihilus but you could probably replace nihilus since I didn't even use the insta kill and SET with another pretaunt

[snow panther]

What’s the strategy while using an slkr team, and what comp

[dull patrol]

I'm looking at it gp-wise to know when to grind what to be able to beat every PG once I hit 4m gp. Although I will admit, the way I formed that question wasn't very polished regarding how I meant it

Like I'm tryan figure out stuff I wanna get anyways that can help with PG, like Traya, Malak, Nihilus e. g. seem great since they were already at the top of my priority list

And they are simple yet good upgrades, that don't take much gp(ignoring Malak for a sec)

[hardy kraken]

Conserving GP will delay when you enter proving grounds though

[dull patrol]

Like I said, that wasn't really how I meant it

I don't wanna get gp slower, I wanna get it with the right characters

[mild hatch]

Hey @hardy kraken You’re the guy who beat pg with Rey GK Cal JTR and l3 right?

3*?

[hardy kraken]

I did

I tried to repeat it on video this month for 2 hours but I ended up settling on a 2* recording

Timestamps in a comment here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ks8Ph-UtL_4

[stable hare]

is there a surefire way to 3* this event?

[hardy kraken]

Surefire? Idk, that 100% success rate seems like a very high bar

[queen anvil]

Anyone done this event with Bane and a random sith (no SEE or Malak)

[warped cedar]

What's your Rey strat? I'm about to unlock every other PG toon next conquest and I still have 0/330 for Malgus 😩

[hallow atlas]

So glad I'll never have to do this again. So many long attempts to scrape through with SEE; Leia got me three stars in as many tries. All about watching the turn order and knowing when to kill the death marked enemy.

And not getting 'lucky' with counter attacks.

[hardy kraken]

I sent a video with the team

Basically I try to whirlwind and if anyone dies before 2 enemies left or malgus gets deathmark before talon dies, it’s basically unwinnable and I reset

[warped cedar]

You sent DM? I don’t see anything

[hardy kraken]

Scroll up a bit in this channel

[hardy kraken]

Here

[warped cedar]

Oh got it thanks

[warped cedar]

Don’t have cal, tried it a bunch and got close but couldn’t get there. Next PG I’ll have JKL in relics so should be easy

Also this is a pretty funny comp that will help you survive.. but Malgus will have 20+ stacks of dark ascension so you deal 1 damage at a time

[hardy kraken]

Ah ok, he seems good with rey

[mild hatch]

What’s the strat for beginning? I get close-ish sometimes but I’ve only managed to get a couple 1* runs

[hardy kraken]

For the beginning I target darth revan - jtr basic if she gets a turn, and on rey’s turn either a WW if available or lifeblood on someone who needs it

Then I hope deathmark doesn’t go on malgus because it’s super hard to get around that

In fact I think both of my wins with this strat have been when jtr or rey got deathmark once there were 3 of them left

There are ups and downs to having a slow gk and l3

On the one hand they last longer before DI expires so they survive more easily

On the other hand DI lasts longer so it’s more likely you’ll be forced to put deathmark on one of your own toons

[mild hatch]

Hm lc

https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/459447306534780960/1255219474693357579/toon.png?ex=667c55bb&is=667b043b&hm=af5f6b964a4d445393fac9663b08c2e21bf3b6390d3e7637c5415057f934a8fd&

Are these here well modded enough?

Tried to get close to the stats you had

[queen anvil]

I finally got him down!!!

[mild hatch]

sadly not

[hardy kraken]

No idea tbh

Not quite sure how my mod stats play into it

Survivability probably good, speed on tanks is a mixed bag idk

[rich raven]

What’s the strat here?

[queen anvil]

You fracture Malgus, so you need good speed on Thrawn but nothing godly, daka and zombie should protect the team. You take out his team with SLKR one by one (since fractured, Malgus will not take a turn for a while) and use Nihilus annihilate on Malgus. If someone dies, restart, Malgus gets deathmark before anyone else, restart. I got him down in second try, so i dont think you need to fish for luck too much.

[pale osprey]

Is Traya/Nihilus/Malak/Sion/SET still reliable?

[finite sandal]

I was able to beat it but used Talong instead of sion

but it was only a 2 star

[pale osprey]

Do they need to be higher than R5?

[finite sandal]

Traya, talon, and SET were all R5, Nihilus was R3, and Malak was R7

[pale osprey]

Thanks!

[dull patrol]

Are the Traya lead comps easier than SLKR full FO/with Malak?

[outer grotto]

As an SLKR user, I would say SLKR squad is extremely tough.

So I use JKL lead to slow them down
(JKL lead, JKA, SLKR, KRU, DMalak)

[civic schooner]

For me jkl, hoda, jkr, malak, slkr
Was a cakewalk

[dull patrol]

Do you know what Relics you had?

[civic schooner]

5, 3, 4, 5, 7

[dull patrol]

Hmm, if I can somehow get JKL and Malak before I reach 4m I'll do that then, but I doubt that will happen. I think I'll just stick to one of the Traya comps I found

I will get JKL after, so I guess that's gonna end up my 3*. Thanks

[somber spindle]

Any recommendations for Leia comps that get this battle 3*?

[coral laurel]

No idea, but this can 3 star, if you’re patient enough.

[hardy kraken]

Is she your only GL? I haven’t seen much of leia for PG iirc

[somber spindle]

No but I have no 3* yet, JKL/JML get it done easily.

I think most players with GL Leia already have most PG 3*, that might be a reason for the lack of data

[hardy kraken]

Which GLs do you have then?

I’ve seen some comps like jkl malak slkr and some other 2 that 3* it

I personally 3*ed it with rey

[somber spindle]

JML, Rey, SLKR and Leia. No Malak yet or Cal.

JKL and Leia should be able to 3* it too.

[hardy kraken]

You have Rey, do you have Cal GK JTR and L3?

That’s the comp I used to 3* it

Cal as in the UFU not the Journey toon

[somber spindle]

Yeah, no Cal yet. I was hoping for a smoother Leia comp. But no need to spend hours for a 3*. Will be done in a few months with Malgus.

[hardy kraken]

Other toons might be better but I was focusing on how to 3* every PG tier except RC with Rey or SLKR and good members of their team, no extra journey guides or conquest units

[green basalt]

Is anyone else getting double death mark in the Malgus fight? I don't remember ever seeing this before.

[full loom]

Yes I'm getting it as well, I guess it must be a game-wide issue with deathmark, I'm pretty sure it showed up in a recent GC as well.

[green basalt]

Yikes... I'm sure they're aware of it. But if they are, do you think they'll rerun it because of this?

[full loom]

I highly doubt it

[green basalt]

Yikes...

[full loom]

You're a genius, I'm finally free from RNG hell trying to do this with full FO SLKR. I just did a quick R3 on nihilus and got 3 stars within a couple of tries.

[mild hatch]

what relic level is your thrawn

[full loom]

5

[mild hatch]

Hmmm how important was he

Is the fracture needed or is it more so the extra turn

[full loom]

He is the least essential of the team, I think without him it would just take much longer, since you can't pass turns to nihilis. Fracture on malgus didn't feel like a big deal, the big lose condition is Talon getting a big AOE off after getting a billion stacks of dark ascension. As long as Daka lives, you can res anyone else who dies.

[mild hatch]

Ok sick

I’ve only got g12 thrown so I should be able to substitute hux for him

Oh nvm he’s FO specific

[mild hatch]

Damn Thrawn is really the only toon in the game with a turn swap that’s not gated behind faction

[queen anvil]

Not my strategy, but it took me quite a while to find it. Most of the strategies require a large account having so many toons from different factions, or MALAK, who needs a ton of MK1 currency to unlock. For me this was the cheapest and fastest option if you have SLKR and the ls bundles. I am glad it worked for you too. Malgus has been sitting there no stars while I 3 starred the rest of pg, for far too long.

[dull patrol]

So just R7 SLKR, R5 Thrawn and R3 the rest works for a 3star?

[queen anvil]

I did it with r3 Thrawn and SLKR r8

S7 should work

[dull patrol]

Oh wow

I'm gonna do that

[queen anvil]

The first 2 kills is the most important

[dull patrol]

Oh R8

[queen anvil]

The rest nihilus can ult

R7 should work

[dull patrol]

So fracture Malgus, pass as many turns as possible to Nihilus and instakill Malgus asap

Hell I'm out here tryna get Malak when I could just do that

[sick quartz]

Thrawn lead? Also what mods and any zetas needed on Thrawn? Mine is R5 and dies quickly

[sick quartz]

Really soloed Malgus with SLKR? 🤔

[queen anvil]

No, SLKR lead

[sick quartz]

What is killing the action is Dark Ascension starting to pile up. What triggers that? Read Sith Empire kit but struggling to figure out what’s causing this

Nm, it’s an event modifier. Clear.

[queen anvil]

Last time I relicced Nihilus after the conquest+ day, and I got it at second try after remodding( GL speed and survivability mods, damage is important on slkr only). This time I had to fish for some RNG cause Malgus kept getting death mark right after Revan. The ideal scenario is Darth Revan gets it then, Assassin. After you kill those two, even if the rest has res-killed the zombie and stacked infinitely, you can take them out with Nihilus one by one. Thrawn fracture on Malgus does help to keep the team alive in the first few turns.

[queen anvil]

Just put protection primaries and speed + health set on him. I have used GL mods I had. My mods are not really good. And you do need to fish for some luck. Some openings, you just cant survive. Not with my mods at least.

[queen anvil]

No Zetas needed

[sick quartz]

Yeah, need to relic Nihilus for this. I almost got it but my SLKR R8 with 6A speed/health set came short. Maybe should just R9 him

[queen anvil]

Dont mind the datacron, since I have done the event, I have used Squad arena to take the SS

[queen anvil]

I think that is more expensive than getting Nihilus relicced

And it might not work

I have relicced 8 SLKR to get the event with FO team, but I couldnt do it. So it might not work

[sick quartz]

It’s annoying because I was hoping just Thrawn R5 will get this done. Will try to remod him. He has yet to put fracture on Malgus when undersized

[sick quartz]

Yeah, Nihilus makes more sense. Will try that team next month. Thanks for your help.

[queen anvil]

Good luck!

Like I said, last time, I was going to wait for Cal Kestis Rey team do it. Havent relicced Nihi for the bonus PG day. But the day after I thought I better just relic him and get this done. This event frustrated me for too long. Definitely worth it, alone for the inner peace it brings 🙂

[sick quartz]

My Thrawn mods suck, will remod although without Nihilus 1* is best case scenario

[queen anvil]

You will get it 3*, you just have to get the RNG I described. After you get the first 2 kills, and no one dies in your team, they cant get past the zombie and keep on killing it. Worst case scenario you kill them with Nihilus one by one.

34 stacks 😄

I also remodded the zombie to make it extra tanky for the first few turns, i think it helped.

[sick quartz]

I mean without Nihilus. I remodded Thrawn to 306 speed, still doesn’t fracture and dies like a fly

Also nice BS with the video someone posted above where the guy soloes the event with SLKR

[burnt horizon]

Ima have to wait until next Proving to see if my cal works

[sick quartz]

https://tenor.com/view/exterminador-do-futuro-gif-20118743

[dull patrol]

gulp

[hardy kraken]

The strategy is with rey and a full team

[sick quartz]

Around 20 min mark I see a super-SLKR soloing the malgus tier 🤔

[queen anvil]

Thats the fury interceptor PG

[sick quartz]

https://tenor.com/view/embarrassed-thesimpsons-homer-em-gif-4355233

Thanks and sorry for the confusion, had that 3* already and was off the radar….

[sick quartz]

My bad. Thanks a lot for putting that together. For anyone else it’s around 12:30 mark. That could actually make more sense than going the Nihilus route. 🙏

[hardy kraken]

It’s fine. For future reference I believe I put timestamps in the comments for each tier.

[hardy kraken]

I warn you, it is very RNG heavy. Took me an hour and a half to do the first time and I couldn’t replicate it for 2 hours for that second time.

[sick quartz]

That’s viewing videos directly in Discord for me…

[hardy kraken]

Oh ok

[sick quartz]

Thanks, that’s what I was wondering. I feel like I can almost get it done with SLKR without Nihilus. With should be OK, plus I have Nihilus shards

Baby Cal makes more sense for my account though

[hardy kraken]

Yeah baby cal is great with rey

I like how all the teams I found only had the GLs and units that go pretty well with those GLs, no extra journey toons or cq units either

[sick quartz]

BTW I was a few inches away from beating this with Zorii instead of Cal and no ultimate. Just BSF was left standing

This is the way

Towards a solid 1* anyway 😂

[real kiln]

So I wasted $30 on the conquest pass plus. Trying to finish Malgus and getting double death mark on him and Revan out the gate.

[sick quartz]

Yeah, getting CP+ just for Malgus and failing would be annoying. The rng is nuts though, need to try several times just to get the right opening deathmarks

[wraith yoke]

this comp helped me finish for first time 🙏

highly recommend for anyone still struggling on it

[real kiln]

Yeah there are other benefits to the pass but he is the only one not 3 starred. The rng was already a pain and that just adds a whole ton more of rng to it that has to land perfectly.

[somber spindle]

Finally 3* with Leia

[queen anvil]

Currently it is bugged I believe, I don’t remember getting two death marks at the start last pg. so you need to fish for a start that Malgus doesn’t get the death mark.

Among other stuff

[sick quartz]

Interesting. On a few occasions I scored opening deathmarks on both DR and SA which helped. Just not doable without the ult and/or Cal

[mild hatch]

I was just boutta ask why there’s 2 deathmarks lmao

[mild hatch]

So it’s possible to not land on malgus?

Done it ~20 times so far and malgus DR every time

Nvm got a run with it

[indigo blaze]

i can vouch for this i 3* with this comp

it was incredibly easy

[dull patrol]

What relic was your SLKR?

[indigo blaze]

7

NS just kept getting targeted so no one else died

and she was constantly revived

eventually the enemy toons take 1 damage so nihilus had to annihilate any remaining ppl

no zetas on any of the nightsisters btw

[mild hatch]

Alr fk it I’m relicing nihilus for it ig

I’m on like attempt 60

Trying with Rey Ben

Would be so much easier if there was no deathmark bug

[mild hatch]

Managed it within 20 minutes

Don’t have any crystals left for refreshes but it’s worth it holy hell

[sick quartz]

I have no doubt the Nihilus team works. Likewise I think the Rey comp should work too with her ult, as I almost got there without Cal or Ult. the advandatge of Nihilus is that he is just 100 kyros I imagine

[sick quartz]

Finally because Leia, or it was as challenge with her as well? The latter would make me feel better lol

[kind elbow]

I just three starred with this team:

It took a lot of restarting to get the RNG lined up, but I did it. I fucking love this new double death mark bug.

[nocturne wind]

Is Zombie crucial for this team? Is the only one I’m missing to relic

[sick quartz]

Yes, unless you have a Malak-class tank to replace him

@mild hatch @queen anvil thanks for the great video and advice. Almost everything 3* now

[mild hatch]

not sure what I did but I'll take the credit congrats

out of curiosity who are the other malak-class tanks

[sick quartz]

I mean you took the time to put together the video… other than Malgus himself which doesn’t help lol, tbh only Reva springs to mind

[burnt horizon]

Which Jedi lead ya think I could stand a chance with with cal on board? (Journey cal) I would say revan. But I feel he makes the team way to squishy

I got beq slowly getting there but don’t have him 7 yet

[somber spindle]

Was done within a few minutes, even did not need a revive this run.

[lofty chasm]

I am in need of some of help with Malgus pg. I’m on track for leviathan, sort of, but Malgus is sitting at zero shards

https://swgoh.gg/p/529379622/

[halcyon raven]

jkl

[lofty chasm]

I don’t have SEE and JkL lead, jmL team worked with the fury class but not Malgus

[burnt horizon]

Don’t have

[halcyon raven]

i need the phx ls bundle to come back...it has stuff i need to get jkl to do this one

[burnt horizon]

And no where near close to him

[halcyon raven]

look up there, some are advocating a team of daka zombie thrawn nihilus and slkr lead

[burnt horizon]

I don’t have any GLs lol

[halcyon raven]

not happening then

[burnt horizon]

I can try maybe mace or Revan lead and pray it works I guess

[halcyon raven]

i heard a starkiller team could work but it requires jkl lead

[burnt horizon]

I tried cere with SK can only take down one

[halcyon raven]

jkl lead is very important to slow them down in any comp that uses him

[burnt horizon]

My ally code

Some recommanded malak but I’m well always if getting him relic since I got cal

Thinking of just getting all those Gear12 ones I have up to relic 3 and throw shit at the wall at this point lol

Either that or get the new obi and qui

Cause malak seems so underwhelming under traya lead

[somber spindle]

It looks like you have JKL lead? with JML Jedi works quite well

[lofty chasm]

I have tried this with jkl, Jml, shaak, gmy, and revan. Got close-ish, but no cigar. Maybe need some remodding and it might work better

Really struggling with this one, but I have to get it done, working towards leviathan. And I’m at zero shards with malgus but I almost have his ship

[halcyon raven]

put jka with them then when jka gets bonus turn use jkl granted ability...that gets jkl his turn to slow them down

[lofty chasm]

Unfortunately I do not have jka relic 3 😦

I’m waiting for a SEE lightspeed bundle and don’t want to waste mats since I’m mostly f2p

Another strategy I’ve tried was a jkl team with slkr and it worked about just as well as jkl,jml, with no jka

I might see about remodding that jkl team, but I’m not sure what mods to use

[halcyon raven]

it looks like a lot of teams are prioritizing nihilus to get instakill on important chars (malgus) and tanks to keep him alive

might work with cat/jkcal too

[lofty chasm]

See and that’s what I thought of, but my guild advised me to relic up my sith empire team for the leviathan over the sith trio (enfys replacing sion for pg)

But unfortunately they’re all stuck at g12 while my sith empire team is roughly at r3

[halcyon raven]

kinda pointless to try to get levi when malgus is a big roadblock...if i cant get a team to beat his pg im just gonna use GL event currency

traya at r5 is needed for rote platoons so might as well get on them

[lofty chasm]

I guess in a way that’s probably why you would use slkr against malgus but he still gets wrecked. And I agree about it being pointless, I’ll have all the requirements except for malgus well before I have malgus, but they insisted on that as Darth Revan and Malak would be a beneficial team.

Yeah that is my next move after I get the rest of my sith empire team up at this point. Nihlius and Traya are sitting at g12, enfys is getting there

I’m going to try that jkl team later with GMY instead of JKA, does anyone have advice on modding? So it’d be jkl, jml, shaak, revan, and gmy

[halcyon raven]

what does shaak provide thats better than jka

[halcyon raven]

would first order officer work for the turn swap? i missed the phx LS bundle when it came so my thrawn is only 5 star

[burnt horizon]

Iv been trying to brute force it with this teams I can sometimes get two down. Am I do anything wrong?

[gilded magnet]

We can’t beat the malgus event with slkr anymore? This shit is ridiculous

[nocturne wind]

Got him but only relic 3

[somber spindle]

I would use JKL lead (you can try to mod him slower with no speed), JML, hermit Yoda, Revan an GK or GAS or Old Ben. Should be doable.

[queen anvil]

Not sure, Thrawns fracture on Malgus is a protective measure. Makes keeping the team alive so much easier. I have relicced Thrawn first as some people can do it with him and the FO team. But it does require quite a lot of rng.

[queen anvil]

Yes, very. Otherwise they will kill someone else unless you have a god tier level tank like Malak.

[azure mountain]

Have anyone tried BKM in this battle?

[outer grotto]

With GREAT luck!

[gilded magnet]

Traya lead, malak, nihilus, kru, SLKR

Not pretty but it worked

[native star]

SLKR, Zombie, Daka, Hux and Nihilus gets it done RNG to get double death mark on the right people then keep the last paired enemy with malgus in stun lock and annihilate malgus

[gilded magnet]

How geared is your zombie? I tried zombie last night but malgus gains dark ascension way to quick and too many stacks

[gilded magnet]

Looks like not enough damage to me before they start getting dark ascension stacks

[burnt horizon]

np just wanting to make sure i was doin the event right

[gilded magnet]

This is a very tricky RNG fight. You pretty much don’t want malgus to get death marked. So you should try to avoid killing another hero that has the mark, if malgus is attacking next.

[sinful jackal]

could a 5th other than malak work for this

https://swgoh.gg/p/155864894/

i could get malak if needed but was hoping to not get delayed even longer

[gilded magnet]

Possible? Might be way harder without malak. 🤷🏻‍♂️

[halcyon raven]

will talon save malgus from nuke?

[burnt horizon]

Unfortunately that’s how my team kinda works lol. Normally SK is pretty fast so who knows. I really don’t have anyone else until may when cal is relic and I throw him under mace lead or something and prey that the unique works

[native star]

Relic 3, only people above relic 3 was hux and SLKR who were 5 and 7

[native star]

Not from what I experienced they were the last 2 alive for me and he went down straight away from nihilus

[dull patrol]

Talon doesn't save Malgus if he's instakilled by Nihilus

[native star]

Yeah, was absolutely fine I managed to survive the AOE from talon which is crazy by keep increasing cooldowns

[dull patrol]

Was it RNG to win or to get a 3* with that lineup?

[native star]

afew attempts have to hope for the double death mark on 3 of the 4 others got lucky stared on revan and assassin then went on malgus and bastilla

then by that point was able to annilihate malgus and then kill talon

only issue is they get quite high on dark ascendance when killing zombie over and over to the point they only take 1 damage sometimes and zombie is reduced to 1hp but has perm taunt. if you can get enough turns in before that you can kill malgus quite fast

[lime gulch]

Has anyone tried cere or epic confrontation bo ?

[burnt horizon]

Cere SK cal ninth sister unmasked didn’t work for me

I tried a few other inquisition with cere didn’t work either

[drowsy loom]

---

Thought this might help some people:
In the last PG event (after re-modding my entire relic roster for PvP) I wasn't able to use my original squad to beat Malgus for his shards (not the ship).
What did work was using

• R8 SLKR (leader)
• R7 KRU
• R5 Darth Malak
• R5 Darth Nihilus
• R5 Sith Trooper

Pretty much waited for Malgus to lose his protection and get deathmark. After that I just used Annihilate to one-shot him with Nihilus.

And just in case anyone asks or cares, I'm up to 170 of his shards now. Been farming him for... a while...

[lime gulch]

Thanks and I guess no one really has test bo mandalore on pg

[viral garnet]

I did

It doesn't work

[lime gulch]

Thanks have you use her in any others PG ?

[viral garnet]

I tried Malicos node, it didn't work too

I can try other nodes next time

[lime gulch]

Thanks

[halcyon raven]

what speed/turn order do i need and when should i use fracture vs turn swap? i havent used thrawn much at all

[drowsy loom]

Fracture should always be used on Malgus every possible chance, unless it'll cause him to gain deathmark by dealing damage after a unit dies.

If a unit just died, use turn swap to put it on someone you can afford to lose.

[warped cedar]

I just did this with GK as the 5th

[sinful jackal]

oh shoot thank you i will try this

was it crazy rng?

[warped cedar]

The RNG was just waiting for Malgus to not get the double deathmark bug at the beginning

First run with just DRevan deathmarked I won

[sinful jackal]

alr alr sounds good preciate it

[frigid oracle]

LV also can three star this thing pretty easily

[queen anvil]

Sometimes the assassin (leftmost) and Revan gets double deathmark, which makes things easier if you have nihilus, thrawn and SLKR daka/zombie team. Even if the trio left becomes invul, you can kill them with nihilus.

[queen anvil]

My thrawn was over 300 speed. I dont remember exactly, but I used my speed and health mods. You need them fast and survive the first few turns. I was around 5 million gp with LS bundles and 8 months of play, so my mods suck a bit.

[halcyon raven]

rn i have nihilus 285 and thrawn 283...like whats the strat for when to use the pass turn tho...like do you pass to zombie for her to get taunt, to nihilus to get an extra turn off his nuke cd or to slkr to stun or what

[violet jay]

I love how CG has yet to address the deathmark bug lol

[queen anvil]

No, Thrawn is there to fracture, after the initial turn where they go first, you want to fracture Malgus so he won’t take any turns. The goal is to survive the initial blast and kill Revan and the left most(assassin I think). You want to stun Revan with SLKR, then basic for the kill. After you kill the first 2, and the debuffs wear off it becomes quite easy. They won’t get past zombie and you keep on killing them one by one with Nihilus.

With the death mark bug, it becomes easier when Revan and Assassin gets the DM, but it also means you need to fish for that longer. Just keep on trying, to get that setup. If someone cant survive the initial blast consistently, give them mods with survivability, health and protection, without lowering their speed. You only need damage on SLKR to get the kills on the first two. The rest is Nihilus

[halcyon raven]

i have been farming lots of signal data so i can bump their relics up if need be, where were yours?

[queen anvil]

SLKR relic 8, Daka zombie Thrawn and Nihilus at relic 3

[halcyon raven]

yeah thats what i have

[sick quartz]

Guys listen to @queen anvil

That stubborn bastard lol

[mild hatch]

another month, another malgus

[mild hatch]

thrawn isn't even 100% necessary I did it with traya instead because I didnt have reliced thrawn

just isolated malgus

[dull patrol]

It's supposedly possible with Hux instead of Thrawn too, that's what I'm gonna go for once I hit 4m

[kind elbow]

I got three stars with this team as well. Just had to keep restarting until Malgus didn’t get death mark in the beginning.

[stable hare]

mfw CG double deathmarks me

[viral garnet]

If anyone doesn't have a GL

Here's a good team

[oak silo]

I heard this is easy with SEE + wat. Is this still true?

[frigid oracle]

It’s possible without wat for see

[stable hare]

what's the SEE method

[frigid oracle]

I just link malgus/bsf and hope see lives. The comp I use is see/malak/traya/bsf/dr

Probably could also do some sort of method with jkl lead, but I don’t feel like doing that

[nocturne wind]

For the SLKR, Thrawn, Nihilus, Daka, Zombie Team I need to fish for the Deathmark on Assasin and Revan?

[halcyon raven]

damn i had that finally but talon hit big AOE killed thrawn daka and zombie in one hit

[nocturne wind]

Im not able to do it, once my tharwn gets the turn I cant target malgus cause of deathmark...

[halcyon raven]

BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM I DID IT

[nocturne wind]

Can you help me?

[halcyon raven]

its just luck and rng ...i didnt get the deathmark on assassin this time, revan got it first then malgus

i took out revan first then i think the rest were all nihilus nuke

it will take time

i bumped the other 4 up to r5 and gave them some of my best speed and health mods

[nocturne wind]

I got no materials for it, so ill have to try with what i have

What was your initial turn order? SLKR then Thraw?

[halcyon raven]

dont even remember i stunned revan and took him out fairly quickly but malgus had the next deathmark so couldnt focus anyone else til i nuked him...you just kinda have to get lucky for talon not to hit a big AOE and have them just focus zombie the whole time and kill her over and over again so your other chars are safe...remember daka can also revive the others if need be (might take a couple tries) i had to revive both thrawn and nihilus with her

but i did put thrawn over 300 and nihilus 285

you need good speed mods, is why i spend all my mk 3 GE currency on the mod re-roll mats

[nocturne wind]

OMG Finally!

Don´t even know what I did xD

[light egret]

Woo!

[halcyon raven]

big thanks @queen anvil i had to tweak it a bit but after about 6 tries i got it

[rich raven]

Better late than never 😂🤌🏼

[halcyon raven]

now ill go see if this could work on Tie/In the only one i havent beat at all yet

[halcyon raven]

nope lol too many aoes

[main crag]

Rey can manage it easily if you have her

[halcyon raven]

what comp? i dont have ben yet

[main crag]

Rey and JTR duo does it

[halcyon raven]

i thought reva inqs punished you for dodging attacks...like they did with gungans

[main crag]

I think the strat is something like JTR goes into DI, Rey gets ult then, the enemies get a crap ton of tm so they stack lots of dots and kill themselves

Yeah but you just need to survive and stall for dots basically

And then ww reva at the end so she cant revive

[halcyon raven]

oh the modifier

[main crag]

Yup

Not too hard, I got it within a couple attempts

And no special modding really

[halcyon raven]

who for the other 3?

[main crag]

No one

Like genuinely duo it

Then they can 3*

[halcyon raven]

how fast does jtr need to be...i purposely lowered my rey speed a couple days ago cuz some said 550 was too fast

[main crag]

I don't think I changed the mods since I did it

Also probably don't need R8 if you don't have that

[halcyon raven]

mine is r9

[main crag]

Even better lol

[halcyon raven]

first couple tries rey isnt getting a turn til she gets ult but by then theyve already expired jtr's di

[ornate mountain]

https://swgoh.gg/p/419236635/

could someone guide me

do I have necessary tools to 3-star the event

I heard some use daka and zombie

[halcyon raven]

just got him done with slkr lead daka zombie thrawn nihilus...fracture malgus take out revan first after you stun him then the rest are nihilus nukes you just have to hope they get necrophilia for zombie lol

[ornate mountain]

dont have nihilus :(

[atomic haven]

Why is the malgus team get two death marks. I thought only one could be on a team

Malgus and Revan keeps getting deathmarks one turn after the other

[karmic ginkgo]

How doable is this with r7 GAS and r5 501st if you get the double deathmark on Revan and Assassin

[main crag]

It's bugged

Sometimes its only one deathmark

Sometimes it goes on Sass and DR

[sick quartz]

This time around I never had a single deathmark run that I can recall. Always two. Funnily enough, I also 3* ed with a deathmark on Malgus and DR, just took longer

[neon jungle]

If this is possible, apparently it is do I need JKL fast or slow

[dense flame]

Did it with the same JKL mechanic, but used SLKR and JKR instead of GAS and Obi^

it takes some RNG for Luke to live long enough to get his turn, but after that you just punch through them with ease

[halcyon raven]

hence why some are using jka for the bonus turn to use granted ability to pass to jkl

[dense flame]

I did use Revan, my issue was that they kept one-shotting him before the turn could trigger :D

[willow ibex]

You need as slow JKLS as possible

[stable hare]

fast enough he gets a turn

slow enough he gets Malgus's TM to a grinding halt

[willow ibex]

No. You need one other fast Jedi to pass turn to JKLS. But JKLS himself should be slow

[dull patrol]

So like a speedy af JKR with a +0 speed JKL

[random bison]

Hoda would work too, bonus turn with JKL's granted

[halcyon raven]

use JKA his bonus turn when someone gets low health or killed use granted to pass to jkl

[inland granite]

JKL, JKR, JKA, and JB makes for a great 4 man team that practically guarantees JKL to get a turn and for you to get 3*
Of course, you do want a 5th though lol

[halcyon raven]

maybe GMY for ten up and foresight spread?

or JKCK for nuke

[random bison]

JB? I'm prolly just stupid but uh, who's that?

[frigid oracle]

I’m guessing jolee

[inland granite]

Yes

[random bison]

Ahhh

[inland granite]

After further consideration I have decided that I meant Jack Black

[karmic ginkgo]

I'm prepping for the pg coming up, and I see the JKL/GAS/GBA/Hoda/JKA team for this battle. I have all of those at relic except GBA, is there some other non-GL I can sub in? I have the mats to relic GBA immediately, but would rather save them for a GL farm if possible

[frigid oracle]

Malak should work if you have him available

Or any pretaunter. GBA is mostly there for the pretaunt from the summoned geo

[karmic ginkgo]

No Malak yet, though I could relic him if needed. KRU?

[frigid oracle]

Possibly. Couldn’t tell you if that would work

[dense flame]

I think i used both Malak and KRU in one run, alongside Luke's squad

Tank = good but Malak is superior due to fears and health regen

But i normally run a theorycrafted combination of SLKR, Malak and JKL lead

[main crag]

Does malaks healing work through shock?

[dense flame]

If he is shocked, he doesn't recover health sadly

but apart from that, he gets enough health steal through his offence buffs

[muted mango]

This team 3 star’d it

[somber spindle]

Gungans shall also be easy for 3* I heard

[sinful jackal]

actually ?!

[frigid oracle]

Pretty sure they want jarjar tho

[sinful jackal]

oh thanks

[sage marsh]

Is Nihilus used to insta kill malgus at the end?

Assuming so, as I've found out I start to hit only 1s on Malgus

[muted mango]

exactly, Daka keeps riving the tanks and Nihilus chills until his moment of glory

[sage marsh]

Thank you...may have to get them to relic next time round.

My SLKR had 4000 siphon but couldn't kill Malgus 😭😂..

[karmic ginkgo]

I don't suppose there's any way to stop Assassin and Bastila from nuking people in a single hit (:

[random bison]

Don't let them take a turn

[karmic ginkgo]

So no (:

[dull patrol]

I believe that comp is also doable with Hux instead of Kru, tactic must be the same tho I suppose. You just get a couple early deathmark kills and nihilus picks off the rest 1 by 1

[plush wren]

https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/326969426048188417/1285544889882509333/image.png?ex=66eaa87a&is=66e956fa&hm=20947b98aaa6e7336c9d5e027526acc78a4f204812f28a49edb53db64280752a&=&format=webp&quality=lossless&width=550&height=309

[karmic ginkgo]

Went ahead and zeta'd KRU, I can relatively consistently get to just Malgus and Talon left with JKL/GAS/JKA/Hoda/KRU, but also consistently lose KRU and JKA by then

[dull patrol]

Doesn't JKL have max health and protection reduction?

That should do the trick I'd assume

[karmic ginkgo]

Yeah, I think I got to use that maybe twice? Possible my JKL is too slow?

[dull patrol]

That's not really possible

You want him slow, and whatever speed he's on, Malgus will be on too

[plush wren]

I did that lineup with a semi fast luke

[karmic ginkgo]

He's base speed, I think 112?

[dull patrol]

Are you using JKL lead?

[plush wren]

yea

[karmic ginkgo]

Ye

[dull patrol]

Then get him as slow as you possibly you can

If I'm not completey dead in the brain, he sets the enemies speed to his own

[plush wren]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vTsV4cVcqL0

I followed this guide basically

just swapped shaak ti out for gas

[karmic ginkgo]

He does, and he's already as slow as possible

[dull patrol]

In the vid he uses jml

[plush wren]

do you not have jml

[karmic ginkgo]

I don't have any GLs

[plush wren]

ahhh

you cooked

xD

[dull patrol]

You got Malak?

[karmic ginkgo]

Currently working on my first. Starting Malgus first would make the most sense, but I want to delay my farm as little as possible

[karmic ginkgo]

G10 right now. Should have the mats to immediately r4 him, only missing ~15 signal data to r5 him

But dunno how long that would delay me

[dull patrol]

Which GL you working on?

[karmic ginkgo]

Jabba

[karmic ginkgo]

Alright, I've tried this for a total of seven hours now. I don't think it's possible

[dull patrol]

Jesus Christ bud

[karmic ginkgo]

According to the trello, the only team I'm close to is JKL/GAS/GBA/JKA/Hoda, but I have yet to find any proof that that works other than people just saying it does, and I'm not wasting mats gearing GBA up without any better evidence

[karmic ginkgo]

Next closest I would need to gear up and relic Malak, and probably upgrade Old Ben as well
That card just says "RNG dependant"

[light fox]

i never got that setup to work either, my malak only r3 and my OB missing zetas : /

[karmic ginkgo]

It doesn't help that Malgus's double basic one shots most of my team from max health/prot

[light fox]

same lol

[main crag]

I mean you dont need exactly GBA, I think its just about a pretaunt, the pretaunt dies, then JKA gets bonus turn and uses JKL lead ability to give him a turn and they get the speed reduction

[karmic ginkgo]

KRU's zeta got me closer. I got Malgus to ~90% health once with Talon still alive

But as soon as he takes a turn he kills whoever he targets, and I couldn't kill him before then

[pale osprey]

Is there a combo of Traya, nihilus, Drevan, Malak, Savage, Talon, Fallen bastila that can beat this?

I really don't want to wait another month or 2 to relic Sion

[halcyon raven]

you only need one of them...nihilus

i 3 star it a couple months ago with slkr thrawn nihilus daka zombie

[pale osprey]

My R5 Nihilus keeps dying way too fast, and I don't have SLKR or nightsisters

[halcyon raven]

ah well you got some work to do then

i wouldnt have him if it werent for the LS bundles

[inland moth]

Cleared with 3*

[lament swallow]

I'm using SLKR, Malak, KUR, Hux and FO Trooper for this. Everytime i do exactly the same thing, but yesterday i spent 2hr redoing it to pass and today i pass it one go.

I notice the Maglus doesnt always get deathmark after Revan dies. Is that the RNG part that screwed me over?

[main crag]

The turn order isn't always the same, depends on what abilities they use, how much stagger is applied by badstila, how much fear is put out etc.

It can be wildly different

[lament swallow]

Is it important for Malgus to get the mark after Revan dies?

[main crag]

Idk for your lineup but I always found my successful runs to be generally where he doesn't get deathmarj second but usually third

It's winnable if he gets it second but can be annoying

[lament swallow]

Humm i always pass it when he gets it at second, so my SLKR can siphon directly from him instead of killing others first. Right now i have 230/330 means i need to pass it at least 5 times 💀 Is there any line up i can switch to with my roaster? 723472193

[main crag]

I mean that lineup works as for siphoning, if no one is stunned just do it from whoever, will take some judgement on whether you want to work on killing the desthmark or maybe wait and then have it go to someone non malgus when you do eventually get it

Obviously if someone is stunned siphon off them

As for your lineup I can't check atm but that sounds fine and can work

I use full FO myself and never failed to get it

[lament swallow]

I think it doesn't allow me to hit others when its not marked tho. I never made it with FO even my SLKR is R9 😂 Sometimes Malgus has no dmg and just keep rubbing you but sometimes he one shot a tank. I just find it very much confusing

[main crag]

Well sometimes you can target malgus when he has taunt even if someone is desthmarked

His damage just depends on his stacks, if he gets kills he gets more damage, if he has a lot of we have returned he also gets more damage

I generally restart or consider a run doomed if he gets more than two kills early

I do still play them out tho but just don't really have high hopes at that point

[lament swallow]

I know that already. Just sometimes he one shot my tank on turn one, sometimes doesn't. 🤔 I thought the key is to keep his teammate alive not mine

[main crag]

Yeah I think maybe that is him critting on his leap but you can mod them to survive it

You don't really want his team alive, badstila and talon can get pretty crazy damage

Also one thing about your lineup I just remembered is if you mean storm trooper and not sith trooper you're probably missing out on a lot of ult charge which is important

[lament swallow]

Yes but without 3 tanks my team GG super fast 🫠

[main crag]

I only have stormtroopers and Kru and can manage but my kru is tanky enough to survive a leap

[dull patrol]

His leap deals true damage, it can't crit

[main crag]

So true damage just can't crit?

[dull patrol]

yup

[main crag]

Bit weird then, not sure what would cause it to change its damage

[dull patrol]

well he gets more max health over time, but it caps

[main crag]

No but I've had the same thing and it's the turn one leap that changes damage

[dull patrol]

like consecutive hits of his basic in the same turn grant him 20% max health I believe up to 100%

[main crag]

100% max

Yeah lol

But he ramps a crazy amount as it goes on anyway

[dull patrol]

what team are you using?

[main crag]

SLKR FO

I've beaten it but it's just something I've noticed

[dull patrol]

opening hit, so before any siphoning?

[main crag]

Yup

Ohhhh acfually

I think ik what it might be

It's probably dependant on if DR uses force storm or not as opening play

Since that would give him ferocity I.e. offense increase

[dull patrol]

offense doesn't increase the dmg

it's equalto 40% of Malgus's max health

[main crag]

Ah yeah I thought it was bonus damage equal to 40%

[dull patrol]

Nah, sadly not

[main crag]

Although it can't be purely his health

Because there is damage before the zeta upgrade which adds the health dmg

And the previous ability upgrades have +15% dmg etc.

So surely it doesn't just remove all the previous stuff with the zeta

[dull patrol]

Well physicaldmg is no longer present in the final ability describtion

[main crag]

Good point, a bit weird way of upgrading it then

I'll have a look next month to try and see what kind of debunks are being thrown out before he leaps, maybe there's some that decrease defense

Nvm...

Its true damage

Wtf changes it

[dull patrol]

I'm trying to figur it out as well

a lot of things change his offense, but non max health

[main crag]

It could be that maybe if DR hits them on his turn before it gets them low enough to be one-shot but I don't think so

I'd need to check tho

[dull patrol]

I just realized he doesn't havehealth mastery

[main crag]

Yeah it sucks

I wish he did

It would make slkr so much better against him

[dull patrol]

and him so much better against other teams

[main crag]

It would be kinda insane tbf, he almost doubles his mastery in GAC

Could probably almost one-shot GLs at that point

If he gets a nice health cron or sm

[dull patrol]

I'd be down to watch that

1shotting gungans with the gen active

[main crag]

Lol that would be fun

I mean I wouldn't complain if CG decided to change it to that

[dull patrol]

jkck would still roll him over I imagine cuz dmg immunity

[main crag]

Does he have DI?

[dull patrol]

not him, but his allies get dmg immunity when they get fear

[main crag]

Ah right, yeah that would probably mess it up unless DR can get some shock out (if the DI isn't unpreventable) but maybe Malgus could get a lucky leap onto Cal

[shy reef]

Ok I have ben and all the other players. Team comp ben?

[burnt horizon]

Maybe with Luke. Iv tried majority of Jedi with cal. None worked

[dull patrol]

JKL+JKCK duo is a 3v3 GAC Malgus counter, and a good one too to my knowledge

[main crag]

Afaik just sm like Bastila+JKCK+Malgus can pretty easily get it done too in 3v3

[restive marsh]

I don't recall. Haven't done it for a while

[coral laurel]

Yes. I used Traya, Nihilus, Talon, Malak, Vader and got 3 star after a few attempts.

My mods, at the time (only person I remodded was Nihilus)

[neon jungle]

Do I need ult for SLKR if I do the JKL, Malak composition?

[dull patrol]

I would assume yes, it massively increses his strength

But you should have more than enough time till next time PG comes around

[neon jungle]

I’m on his last 50 shard tier, but I’m waiting as i nearly have all the relics needed to immediately take him to R8 and I have mods ready so I’m hoping I can finally 3 star that damn event

[dense flame]

I recommend ult for SLKR

Keeps you from dying in case Malgus jumps at you the second time

[main crag]

I mean you can try without ult but I'd just be doubtful it would work

Pun not intended...

[dense flame]

The JKL Malak SLKR combo doesn't really 3* the event...even though it makes a manual attempt really easy

You usually lose at least one

[neon jungle]

I just wanna 3* it as it’s the last one I haven’t been able to complete

[dull patrol]

I heard the SLKR, Nihilus, Daka, Zombie, KRU/Hux/Thrawn/whatever works for a 3*

a lot cheaper than both Malak and JKL

Tho Malak himself turns full FO 1* into a 2*

[main crag]

It's at least a very easy manual play

[halcyon raven]

this is what i did (thrawn)

[burnt horizon]

Can you get this 3 star with a odd team with GL kenobi and JKCK?

[halcyon raven]

throw jolee in there for revive

[burnt horizon]

Cause I’m probably gonna get GL kenobi probs sooner then trying to focus on malak at relic and remodding then for this event and I’m like. Might try that out instead. May take me longer but screw it lol

I’ll have to relic jolee tho

[random bison]

If you have jkl, jkck and him, jolee, Malak should be able to 3*

[burnt horizon]

Don’t have look and no where close lol

I still don’t have hermit unlocked

[random bison]

Ehhh

I don't know if you can 3* with jmk jkck and malak

I know traya malak nihilus does iit

[burnt horizon]

I was thinking JMK GK, JKCK, jolee and flex tbh. I got a bunch of Jedi at relic rn. As long as I can survive enough for cal Insta take out malgus in theory I should be good

I got to relic jolee tho and I have to relic malak at a later date

[random bison]

I suppose all you can hope for is that it works

If it does work submit it to the trello board

[main crag]

I could imagine it working just not 3*

[drowsy loom]

You can 3-star Malgus quite easily using Darth Traya (leader), SLKR, and Darth Malak. Did it on PG & Pass+ PG

[sinful jackal]

with r3 nightsisters and slkr is this possible

[dull patrol]

I know SLKR, R3 Zombie+Daka and Nihilus+Hux can do it

Just slkr with ns, I doubt it

[main crag]

Hux is irreplaceable there right since he gives out the advantage to zombie?

Does that 3* tho?

[halcyon raven]

slkr gives advantage also whenever she loses it, i used thrawn instead of hux

[dull patrol]

I think you can replace hux with thrawn, malak or even kru I believe

[dull patrol]

Yes

[main crag]

Alr sweet

My last PG should be 3* theb

Assuming R5 daka is enough

Also what strategy do I need for it?
Just kill everyone and then annihilate malgus since he's ramped or anything specific

[dull patrol]

They ramp down zombies health to basically 1 and keep killing him

you literally just kill nearly everyone with nihilus, cuz they stack to much dark ascension

[main crag]

Alr, is there much danger of them killing people off eith aoes?

[dull patrol]

found a comp with thrawn instead of hux further up

pretty sure hux follows the same concept

Ideal is SAss gets Deathmark after Revan,(fracture malgus if you use thrawn) and instakill malgus

[main crag]

I do have malak if he might make it easier

My thrawn isn't geared

[dull patrol]

nihilus can pick off the rest 1 by 1

Oh ye, Malak works too most likely

hux is for tm control, malak does the same in this case

[main crag]

Hux tm control doesn't work

He needs full FO team for that iirc

[dull patrol]

Nope

The full FO stuff is for Dominance from his lead omega

His unique always works

[main crag]

#bots message

No he needs full FO for his unique

[dull patrol]

huh

then why tf is hux in there?

No wonder KRU works too

[main crag]

No idea, he seems useless then

[dull patrol]

I guess for quick advantage on zombie so that his taunt doesn't drop

but 1 kylo aoe does that already

[main crag]

Right yeah that was my other concern, since you'd need to do turn 1 kylo aoe then in order to get advantage but that does sort of waste a siphon

And might not be fast enough but depends on your kylo ig

I'll just try both out

[dull patrol]

well you don't brute force them and kylo doesn't ramp survivability

probably not too important

he just has banger DS synergy, that's why he's here

[main crag]

Good point

He's just there to give permanent taunt ig

Just gotta be careful of them putting shock on zombie

[dull patrol]

zombie's health drops to 1 eventually

idek how but it dioes I'm pretty sure

so they keep killing him

might be an ai thing

[main crag]

That's weird, the only way I can think of that happening is if zombie was support since then she gains tm but I'm pretty sure she's tank otherwise the whole advantage taunt thing wouldn't work

Maybe it's that when she revives, she revives with 50% tm so that sort of counts as tm gain

Although it probably shouldn't really from the wording

[dull patrol]

I don't remember if she does

Oh ye, she does

yeah that's probably it then

[light fox]

using baylan and malguss team kills themselves down to 1 slice of health in the first few rounds of battle, but then baylan never gets a turn to finish them off. are there any mercs that resist fear that might be able to do a finishing blow? seems like this team is so close to being an easy 3*

[halcyon raven]

i 3 starred this with slkr thrawn nihilus daka zombie, just takes a couple tries

if u want to try with no GL i heard JKL malak SK baby cal MJ works

[placid mulch]

Took me 2 tries, and waiting like 5 minutes, but eventually Baylan got retribution and finished them off for me. I wanna say his attack did 3m or 30m damage to malgus after all the ramping 50% offense buffs from each fear 🤣

I just started the battle and set my phone down for a while. Thought the game would crash it was getting so laggy calculating all the buffs and debuffs, taking like 2-3 seconds to process them between turns

[stark pond]

Okay had my second time testing this approach - you can 3 star with Jabba and his standard team (so no need to combine bunch of different farms/characters). It does take some RNG but the idea is to target BS and take her out early, with the main RNG around getting her out and having Talon nearly dead by the time revan is defeated.

[light fox]

awsome thanks, good to know. what 4th and 5th did you have?

[wary ferry]

Did it with baylan trio jango fett and danger.. just waited til i got a turn

[placid mulch]

Dengar and Hondo with no zetas on either and absolutely garbage mods, lol

[light fox]

nice

[main crag]

3* with SLKR, Daka, Zombie, Nihilus, Traya, got perfect deathmarks to take out Badstila and Talon asap but only needed a few restarts

[bold cedar]

It may have been one star but I finally got it. I can now start earning malgus shards

[balmy cliff]

It's the only one I can't at least 1 star😔

[halcyon raven]

lightspeed bundles are good for 4 of the 5 chars you need

slkr thrawn nihilus daka zombie

[late seal]

3* R8 SLKR, R5 traya, R3 daka, r3 zombie, r4 nihlus.

[echo osprey]

3 star with this squad

Best of luck to everyone trying this ridiculously hard tier

[sinful jackal]

someone said gungans with jar jar could do this right

[main crag]

Yup they can 3*

[sinful jackal]

thanks

[dull patrol]

When does PG start again and how long does it stay?

[stark pond]

It starts at the end of Conquest and is only available for 24 hours

[dull patrol]

Alright. Thx

[teal haven]

https://tenor.com/view/star-wars-the-clone-wars-fives-death-the-mission-the-nightmares-gif-17402131

[dull patrol]

1st try 3*

First PG, so far beaten every one except tie int

[lucid notch]

For the life of me I cannot finish this

Can anyone have a look at my roster and tell me if I even have a team possible of completing this

619-769-839

[dull patrol]

Full FO can 1* with a lot of rng and difficulty.

[lucid notch]

Tried that for a very long time last time and I’ve gave up haha

Still gearing jml for relic so hopefully I’ll get it next time

Apparently this beats it but tried it for 2 hours and got close like 5 times but it’s not working

[dull patrol]

Sucks you don't have Nihilus

[lucid notch]

I know I’ve neglected that team as lsbs have swayed me in a different direction

He’s my favourite starwars character so it’s kinda ironic that I don’t have him relic haha

[noble canopy]

just the whole darthmark thing is rng i thought i had something going with rey lead han chewbacca, chewbacca/c3pio, and nest close but not close enough i have been able to get bastilla or tallen, reven and sith trooper out but malgus just deals a lot of damage

[onyx python]

Is there a decent JMK team without CAT that can win?

[bold cedar]

Do you have Cal?

[hardy kraken]

Not technically rng, it’s just whoever hits the other team while there’s no deathmarks gets deathmarked

[noble canopy]

Well I have had sith assassin next in line the all off a sudden malgus comes up and attacks

[hardy kraken]

Could be a counterattack or bonus tm or bonus turn

[noble canopy]

Or may be damage immunity has a factor sense I have been running Rey lead

[main crag]

Yeah doesn't work on DI

And when you kill an enemy they all get 50% tm

Part of the sith modifier

[pale osprey]

https://swgoh.gg/p/589423641/characters/

Am I doing something wrong? I'm using Traya + a bunch of other squads (mainly Nihilus, Malak, Sion, and SET or Traya) and it just isn't working.

Ive tried watching YT vids and it seems like people are just getting lucky...I've tried this battle for an hour now

[karmic ginkgo]

Anyone have any tips on using Jabba for this?

[stark pond]

Use standard jabba team, aim is to not kill revan early but instead use Jabbas first special to get a bunch of detonators on bastila or talon (first special first so then bobas attacks call assists when you target them too). Ideally you take them out first but if you kill them at same time as revan with boushh’s special that should be fine too. It’s a bit of rng to get it right, but I eventually 3 stared with that strategy

[karmic ginkgo]

I wasn't able to 3* this go, but hey I can finally start towards Malgus and plan for Levi. Thanks!
That means the only PG i have left to clear is Interceptor

[lucid notch]

He’s not relic yet

[halcyon raven]

ns 3 stars tie/in on auto

[karmic ginkgo]

Don't have NS ready

[halcyon raven]

no time like the present

[burnt horizon]

So I hear is what Traya malak nih? Who else I got talon DR DB vadar (no zeta) sid and sith trooper. At relic levels

Malak is relic 1 but soonish I think I can push to atleast 3

[main crag]

Traya, malak, nihilus, DR and Talon can probably do it

Maybe not 3*

[burnt horizon]

I’ll give it a shot next round see how I go. Never came close with it using other teams like padme, cal etc so lol I pray I can atleast beat it

[burnt horizon]

Any mods I need to change?

[dull patrol]

That comp with DV instead of DR works to afaik

[burnt horizon]

Have to remod mine left over mods I had after mod clean out

Anyone give me some vadar recommanded mods by chance?

[dull patrol]

The comp I heard of had an offfense and potency set

[burnt horizon]

Had no potency sets but hope this may work

[dull patrol]

Well you still got time till next PG

Also I very much assume that you'll need more Zetas on him

Don't know for sure tho

I also don't know which is easier, DR or DV

[burnt horizon]

Only way to find out

[halcyon raven]

at least need MM

[fleet fog]

What are the chances of SLKR team winning the Malgus PG battle.

[dull patrol]

For full FO you basically need an R8 SLKR and it's a 1* completion with high RNG

But adding things like Malak alone already makes it quite a bit easier

There are a couple comps with SLKR and other toons, like him, Malak, Daka, Zombie, Nihilus to 3* it

[fleet fog]

Thank you

[lament swallow]

I'm so happy I'm done with this and don't have to do it this PG

[balmy cliff]

SLKR/zombie/nihilus feels good to get revenge on these goons. After months of trying with other squads and failing

[bold cedar]

Well this became a lot easier to do all of a sudden XD

[burnt horizon]

Last was JKCK for a extra Insta but he died

Now for stupid trench

[wary python]

This worked a treat, 3 star, thanks. For tie interceptor use a 3 person team, traya lead , nihilus and malak. A little bit of rng but didn't take more than 10 tries to get 3 stars.

[fleet fog]

SLKR, Traya, Nihilus, Daka and Zombie.
They did it

[noble canopy]

for some odd team this had worked https://youtu.be/damPVQYwlvI

[placid mulch]

Wait till you unlock Baylan and hit malgus for like 20m damage after getting chain feared for the first 2 minutes, ramping offense the entire time. It's so satisfying 🤣

That 50% offense stacks to infinity and ramps super quick when all 5 mercs are getting feared at once. It's glorious to get your revenge on him.

[drifting merlin]

This is easily the most frustrating one I've tried so many different ones and it's all luck. The jkl they just target him off the bat. His ult never lands anything even revan doesn't get stunned. I swear they needed this sometime in mid 2024 because I've had issues ever since then. Sometimes I just skip it. I shouldn't have to attempt it 50 times .

I've seen a lot where jkl needs to be slower around what should his speed be does anyone know.

[burnt horizon]

I got lucky with Kenobi I use cal tho got rid of the free rez for two star

[halcyon stump]

I just 3 starred with JKL lead, then JML, Revan, POW and MQJ

[bold cedar]

@drifting merlin this team I used had JKL at his base speed. Not sure if you have JML or JKCK but this team can win 3 stars with right RNG and even 1 star with it coming down to a 1v1 of Malgus vs JML

[drifting merlin]

I ended up using jkl jml,kru,and beefed up my mods a little on traya. Finally got him to live long enough to use his ult.

Not traya I meant nihilus

[shy reef]

You serious

[sinful jackal]

if your asking if it works i can confirm its a easy 3 star

[shy reef]

Wow I struggled 30 min with SEE to get it. Whilst I have a Jar jar. 🙃🙃🙃

Well it will be awesome.

[fleet fog]

SLKR with Traya, Sion, Daka and Zombie also work

[dull patrol]

You can swap Sion for Nihilus, I assume a lot more have him at relic 3 than Sion, plus it's probably easier as well

You could then also swap Traya for Hux or KRU if you don't have her reliced

[fleet fog]

My bad. I was thinking of Nihilus 😂

[median cypress]

Malgus is the only proving grounds fight I can't beat. And, ofc, he's super awesome so I want him. I was wondering if maybe I have a solution somewhere in my roster and just haven't realized it yet. Feel free to take a look?

https://swgoh.gg/p/834282141/characters/

[dull patrol]

This was done 3*, but it was during some sort of double deathmark bug, so Idk if it can still be trusted. Anyone got some intel on that?

[balmy cliff]

I never had much success with rey

[somber pecan]

Does GM doom mechanic work on malgus?

[dull patrol]

Yeah, it works on everybody

It's weaker on Raid bosses and GLs, but Malgusbis neiher of those

[shy reef]

Who siad Gungans will work in the Malgus event?

I am currently in the Malgus event and The gungans are not killing him.

[shy reef]

Really??? help then Its feeling pretty irritating ATM.

Anyonw have advice on how to beat Malgus with Gungans?

[shy reef]

How?

[main crag]

Not sure but I've heard they can, @brave dagger might know better since he actually has them

[brave dagger]

yeah

I 3*ed with gungans

[shy reef]

Nice BUT HOW

[brave dagger]

uh man that was a while ago

[shy reef]

Did you remod? watch a video?

[brave dagger]

if you give me a few hours to get home from work, I can take a video and send it

[shy reef]

awesome man will appreciate it.

[shy reef]

That was not an 3 stars.

[vapid elbow]

I finally 3* Malagus using R8 Leia, R8 R2D2, R7 Crex, R7 drogan and R7 ChewPo.

[cold basalt]

Can slkr beat the malgus battle?

[main crag]

Yup

Needs R8 SLKR

And lots of RNG

[cold basalt]

What’s the team lineup and is there a specific kill order?

[main crag]

Hold on I have some videos

Ok well only one video

https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/67mw6fbgz2g6gixh5yjhn/SLKR-Malgus-PG.mp4?rlkey=6fcrnw2cpe2ohyu68k58wixmk&st=uezzlgri&dl=0

This one was a weird one, usually you want hux instead of FOO

But for that one I tried him one round for fun and got it, but literally only had that work once so I wouldn't bother trying him out

Ideally you want KRU to survive Malgus leap, then your Stromtrooper takes the beating while kru recovers a little, best case you can get double poke onto DR (sometimes Hux gets feared so he can't pass a turn immediately), after that it's very much up to whatever happens, just try to get ult charge as much as possible and try to stop Malgus from getting any kills if possible. If he gets more than 2 it's incredibely slim odds of winning since he'll take so little damage

Another tip is if there is no one stunned try to siphon off of Malgus to strip his armour

Obvs prio stunned target for siphoning if available

[sinful jackal]

@shy reef i will send vid but i think i just retried

got it first try vid is way too long to send but i basically just spammed abilities they didnt have enough damage to take down my toons

at this point you just spend time knocking him down or waiting for insta kill from jar jar

if you arent getting it im guessing its mods but my mods are pretty mid so idk maybe more prot

[burnt horizon]

Three star Malgus with JMK lead GK padme cat JKCk (cal was literally only there for damage immunity from fear)

[late seal]

3* Slkr, Daka, Zombie, Nihlus, Traya

[slate pasture]

is it possible to do malgus with r8 rey r8 cat r8 gas and other req characters or with r8 slkr or with r8 SEE? i don't have wat

[main crag]

SEE can afaik

Tricky to 3* but def doable 1*

Other options are more rng

[slate pasture]

with what sides i was trying and couldn't get ult off

[main crag]

Not sure but Malak is probably needed at least

[slate pasture]

ahh i don't have him 7* yet

any way to do without or not without full rng

i was there for 30 min trying lol

[main crag]

https://www.reddit.com/r/SWGalaxyOfHeroes/comments/134xj8b/proving_grounds_darth_malgus/

[shy reef]

I got it after turning it on Sim and then leaving it for a while.

[shy reef]

Death man.

[ruby dust]

i 3* with SLKR lead/Traya/Nihulus/Daka and Zombie

[proper nest]

same

[slate pasture]

what relic

[ruby dust]

R7 SLKR/R5 Traya and Nihulus/ R3 Daka and Zombie

[slate pasture]

would r8 slkr let me get away with lower relics for the others?

[ruby dust]

probably - SLKR is only used to keep malgus then talon stunned -- the ai likes to just keep killing zombie so u basically wait for nihuls executes to come off CD with help of Traya

[dull patrol]

No need

It can probably be done with R7 SLKR and rest R3

[slate pasture]

i already have slkr r8

[dull patrol]

Oh, well yeah, R3 on the the rest of the toons should be fine

You can also just swap Traya for KRU or Hux if you want to spend even less

[drowsy loom]

This is a guide I wrote for my guild

[muted mango]

Gungans can 3* incase anyone wants to know

[narrow shard]

2* last month, 3* this month, gotta redo it again tmmrw in the normal pg conquest event tho to sim zzzz

[azure raven]

Gonna have to get these fellas up and running, spent quite literally all day failing this event with SLKR FO

[dull patrol]

Pretty sure you need R8 SLKR for that and even then it's still just one hell of an rng fest

[noble canopy]

With slkr I get no luck even relic 8. Jedi knight Luke and master Luke seem to be the go too see/bane also works nicely even through it might not be a three star

[halcyon raven]

slkr thrawn nihilus daka zombie

[noble canopy]

I have it three started with a different team that was more of information

[median cypress]

Have the entire PG 3 starred without breaking a sweat...besides the Malgus fight, which I can't beat at one star no matter what team or number of attempts I try. Stupid Malgus.

[noble canopy]

I have a video on his event if you want it

[median cypress]

Sure, I'll give it a watch. Post or send plz

[noble canopy]

https://youtu.be/damPVQYwlvI

[dull patrol]

Funnily enough, that was the easiest 3* for me

[ruby dust]

do you have SLKR/Daka/Zombie/Nihulus/Traya?

[median cypress]

Nah, I don't have either that team or the JKLS team others use.

[muted mango]

Gungans can auto it 3*

[lime gulch]

Has someone tried baylan?

[dull patrol]

I don't see why he shouldn't work, only issue I might see is deathmark since Baylan & co. don't take reduced %max hp dmg.

But honestly it should be fine

[lime gulch]

Nothing that a good rng won't fix thanks 🙂

[dense flame]

Baylan works, you just need to try a few times

[strange mortar]

SEE r7, r5 triumvirate and r7 vader just got 1*. Cant call it cheap but it didnt need malak

[inland condor]

Anyone had luck with JKL, JKR, OB, Hoda and slkr? I saw this team on Reddit but can’t get it to work. Had a couple attempts down to just 1v1, but malgus one shots slkr

[gleaming storm]

It's possible to beat Malgus with this team on 3*

Strategy:

• at the start, no one can't die other than ns zombie and daka (but in terms of daka she has to revive shortly after, if that happens)
• once you get a turn with SLKR, use the 3rd ability to give a buff to ns zombie and let her spam taunt
• make sure Malgus doesn't get the deathmark after Revan, he can't attack first after someone with deathmark is killed
• make sure ns zombie is still taunting, use ability 3 from time to time but mainly try to clear out the rest
• here is my kill order when I had my successful run: Revan, Assassin, Bastila, Talon and then Malgus
• remember that zombie CANNOT have a debuff (reminder: endless horde isn't considered a debuff so Talon's 3rd ability won't hit everyone) or otherwise everyone will likely die because of Talon's 3rd ability (where if target enemy has a debuff, she deals additional dmg to everyone else)
• the main reason why Bastila has to be prioritized is to let your Nihilus turn, when Fear gets applied on nihilus he misses a turn, and you NEED nihilus to apply cooldowns on enemies and instakill others (but save the instakill to only those that literally can't be killed by SLKR anymore)
• once you get to only Malgus being left in the enemy team, constantly give turns as quickly as possible to Nihilus, you're on the winning position at this point, but even then you don't need to speedrun giving Nihilus turns as long as ns zombie doesn't suddenly lose taunt for longer and won't cause malgus to instakill SLKR or Nihilus

[gleaming storm]

Note:

• you don't need SLKR ult unlocked, I don't have ult on SLKR yet (because I'm having massive trouble with the last tier as Rey seems to not lose memory for some reason), but I believe ult would likely make killing the others a little easier
• you don't need zetas on thrawn and nihilus (the team I used doesn't have any lol)

[dull patrol]

Please upgrade your SLKR's relic. I can guarantee it'll make his Ult tier a lot easier

Wrong chat

Also that's really funny

[lost bane]

Oppsie sorry

[dull patrol]

You're good, it happens

[dense flame]

It's possible, you just need RNG
