even doing that still dropped one because dumb Vader was dodging a LOT, i mean a lot, i mean "he should be dead 4 turns ago" lot u can have the best mods on the world and still drop if dodge rng is not on ur side but this is the best guide around
This video is honestly incredible. Worked perfectly. Went from feeling like there's no chance to 2 effortless runs and one that just took a bit of finesse. Best guide for this by far.
Wow thank you, this guide worked wonders. Had been running the tenacity mods like many other guides said to and had MASSIVE trouble. This worked on the first try!
Wish I had seen this guide before wasting 90 tickets following other guides that suggested tenacity sets amongst other things that did not work. Used the mods and strategy here and 6 wins in 6 battles. Thank you so much and keep up the great work bro. PS: used crit damage triangle instead of crit chance on Rolo. Rolo speed 304, and han 260. Potency 124 and 114.
Thanks for the great guide! I went 3/3 with no problrm whatsoever with your recommended mods setup and didn't lose any tickets! ROLO: 322 Speed, 60k Health, 50k Protection, 116% Potency CHS: 288 Speed, 62k Health, 50k Protection, 113% Potency Your most important tip for me was to use ROLO's special at the beginning to (hopefully) get ability block on Vader and then blitz Vader with basics and C3PO's mass assist!👍
Thank you so much! This guide worked like a charm. I went from losing to winning every attempt. I followed lots of guides but this one is the only real deal! Thank you for sharing 💯
Thanks a lot man, your strategy works! My Han had just 216 speed and it was sufficient. Just a small detail, the phase you show is phase 2. You have first to pass phase 1 and be prepared for phase 2. The first battle I tried I used C3PO and ROLO specials extensively including at the end of phase 1 so I lost phase 2 because I couldn't use specials. For the second battle I spared the specials and used only basics, then I entered phase 2 without any protection left, so I lost. So you have to balance carefully phase 1, use specials at the beginning of the battle to weaken the troopers so that you don't get too much damage, and finish the battle with basics so that you are out of cooldown. Then it worked like a charm for my 3rd and 4th battles. Probably obvious, but better when stated.
Thank you. You just saved me probably a lot of frustration and tickets. Tried the tenacity method first and lost. Won a second attempt just barely. Got frustrated and kept digging. Found your video, changed my modding, and wrecked it. Youre a genius.
This is the ONLY guide that works well only follow this one who ever is trying to get through tier 2. Every other video guide is wrong and you will waste tickets. FOLLOW THIS ONE!!!!!
I second this. I nodded the minimum that was suggested. I went 3 for 5. The 2 losses was because I didn't listen and healed and used aoe. Thanks for saving me tons of times. Just basic baby
You earned a subscribe with this my guy. My Mods didn't even match the suggestions and I still went 3/4. Everyone in my guild has struggled. This video is THE way to go
Thank you very much sir! I just went 3 for 3 in tier 2 following your modding tip and strategy. Neither my ROLO or CHolo have a zeta and was never in danger of losing the battle.
I just went 3/3 with barely and 6 dot mods and Han being only 225 speed this really worked so much better then the tenacity attempts on my first accounts run through! thank you so much!
Thank you, thank you. I went 0/6 before I found this video and i just put 3 potency sets on both and beat it my first try! hopefully 60 more tickets and it will be on to phase 3.
Dude this guide is immense, tried for first time today, so far 2/2. I haven't even got 6 dot mods for some of them, and my potency mods are generally quite rubbish
This is the first video of yours that I’ve come across.. but damn I’m I glad it popped up. Was certain this was going to be terrible watching other guides but after seeing how your clips made it look so easy I jumped right in! CHan 282 Speed 136% Potency ROLO 281 Speed 123% Potency Vader died so fast! I never lost a single character!! I feel bad for all the people I saw in other videos applying zetas & having less than 50% win rates. I’ve got 178 Zetas (all my opponents in Kyber 2 have atleast 100 more than me)& can’t afford to waste them
Wish I had seen this guide right away. After 5 failed attempts, I managed to finally succeed 3 times in a row with this strategy! Thanks so much, this tier was hell
That's the thing for me - the tenacity guidance in other videos makes no sense. Great, you maybe resist a few DoTs, but you can't damage Vader. Eventually, he's going to land some and start healing through the little damage you can put out. What's the endgame? Just get very very lucky? Thank god I found this video.
First time watching one of your videos and it was very informative, helpful, and easy to follow. Would love to see you do more SWGOH content in the future.
Fantastic guide thank you, managed to complete the tier without dropping any battles. Definitely seemed like the basics on Vader were more effective than hoping for ability blocks. I'll share with my guild just cos I know there are a few people going for Leia at the moment. Thanks again!
Thank you very much for this guide. The mod targets and strategy were a huge help. I'd failed my first two tries, so banked tickets to do major mod work and try to complete it in one go (because remodding is the worst). Was able to go 3/3. The first fight was a little hairy when Leia went down and Han was Ability Blocked, but I still managed to salvage it. Exposes were certainly the key. So thanks for making this absolutely miserable tier manageable. Still stressful as hell going through it, but it's finally over. And boy, tier 3 is a cakewalk afterwards.
Absolutely amazing. I was pretty afraid, cause everybody has bee saying that, even with the mods, it was a rng-s*it show. I got 3, didn't even break a sweat. ANd I wasn't even able to get that speed high.
Dude! Actually insane how good this guide is. Thanks a lot went 3/3. I was so afraid i had to give them zetas and get them higher relics but no! Just modding and the strategy
This worked for me, but holy fuck what a nerve-wracking fight. I dropped a battle, because Vader resisted the block, turn 1 Merciless, AoE, empowered Culling Blade on Han, and rip
this deserves a good like my friend I tried many things waster lots of energy and suddenly find your video and wow the difference is night and day thank you
Missing ability block 6 times in a row with 130% potency is such a pisstake. Hate this stage, but slightly less than when I did it on my alt and all the advice was "use tenacity!". Thanks for the video, took 4 battles to get the 3 wins.
First 2 battles went down easy. In the third battle Vader took out ROLO and there was no coming back even after revive. Battle number 4 was even worse. Gotta collect some tickets now. I was hoping to get it over with in one sitting. With the last two failed attempts I am a bit discouraged. Updated: three LS refreshes later I had another tickets and got the last 20 shards from that tier. Now I have to move those mods back.
just tried and went 3 for 4 on this strat. It is RNG, but i made sure to heal Rolo right before going into phase 2 in case DV tried to 1 shot her. Thanks for the tips.
Yo I already beat it following the guides recommending tenacity, but those battles were so sketchy and i did indeed waste tickets. I wish I saw this video first. THIS IS THE WAY
Thanks so much for making this guide. Made the stage much easier. I was 3/4. Vader got a culling blade crit to finish han on my only loss. Other than that it was pretty straight forward.
Possibly because I mostly had level-A and B mods with ROLO at 206 speed and Han at 191 speed, my first two attempts were really close, but didn't quite get Vader down. I re-watched the video and tried again and got the rng for 3 wins in a row. ROLO with 125% potency and Han with 133%. Thanks.
Folks recommend xaereth's video, I went with the short video and chose to use your video. Went 3 for 3. On my second and third run I put health on ROLO before going into phase 2 and used ROLO aoe at the start of Phase 2 battle then used basics. On the second run. I must have got lucky with the aoe, because it softened up DV and took away all of his protect, but in third run it did nothing. Thanks for the video.
Thanks for the advice. I followed Xaereth's guide and was 1/2 then followed yours and went 1/2. I guess it's just a difficult tier, but nothing seems to worth 100%
Must be a very fine line with these damn mods. Mine are close to these, superior in some respects, and yet I am now 3/3 fails. rNG was appalling on the last go, took out Han with second shot and 3-po has been going down way too easily every damn time.
I tried this after losing many times in a row. I still only won 1 of the next 3 but that’s better than what I was going previously tho. I’ve just had horrible RNG.
Nailed it. Thank you. Wasted two attempts on the potency video, tried this and smashed it. Brilliant. [edit meant wasted attempts using a tenacity video, don’t do it!]
Yeah, this didn't help much. Won the two battle then dropped five. They keep focusing Han until he's dead. If they focus someone else, I can't revive since Han keeps getting ability block. Landed ability block on vader once on the two wins at start of the round. RNG is BS.
Maybe you have some additional advice, i have lost 4x so far following this strat and i am hitting the mod requirements. Han gets yeeted every time because he's loaded with dots...i have a crit avoid arrow on there... is it just the worst luck of all time?
Darn, that is some very frustrating bad luck. Working under the assumptions that both ROLO and cHan both have 6-dot crit avoidance arrows and match the other stats I used, you're not continuously using ROLO's aoe, and you're not using cHan's heal to cleanse dots, I'm really not sure. I'm not sure if there's something picky with like your health and protection numbers that would cause the AI to prioritize cHan more than someone else, it's really hard to say. If you ever want to stream a run, feel free to join my Discord server and I can try to help in voice. You can also try to do what others have done which is focus on tenacity over potency, I personally do not like that because I didn't my toons resisting any more debuffs than if they had minimal tenacity, with the bonus side effect of hardly ever landing exposes.
I'll hit you up on disc when I scrape together more tickets and I can show u the modding and stream the run, maybe it will help add some tweaks to the vid in case there are some weird health and prot balances that make vader more of a dick to Han
1/3 following this strategy, had crit avoid arrows and met the mods you suggested and speed/potency targets. Han seems to be only left and permanently ability blocked.
Wow this was absolutely the best way to do it! Did it with the other guides a couple months ago on a different account and absolutely dreaded it, this made it a BREEZE!!
Crushed it with your guide, EXPOSES for the win. 3/3. I didn't even attempt any of the tenacity routes. Rolo, no zeta r5 2x Potency 1x CC. Han no zeta, r5 2x Potency and 1 x Health.
even doing that still dropped one because dumb Vader was dodging a LOT, i mean a lot, i mean "he should be dead 4 turns ago" lot
u can have the best mods on the world and still drop if dodge rng is not on ur side
but this is the best guide around
This video is honestly incredible. Worked perfectly. Went from feeling like there's no chance to 2 effortless runs and one that just took a bit of finesse. Best guide for this by far.

ROLO: 322 Speed, 60k Health, 50k Protection, 116% Potency
CHS: 288 Speed, 62k Health, 50k Protection, 113% Potency
Your most important tip for me was to use ROLO's special at the beginning to (hopefully) get ability block on Vader and then blitz Vader with basics and C3PO's mass assist!👍
Thank you so much! This guide worked like a charm. I went from losing to winning every attempt. I followed lots of guides but this one is the only real deal! Thank you for sharing 💯

Thanks! I had read about how difficult this tier was. Thanks to this guide, I wasted zero tokens.
Thank you. You just saved me probably a lot of frustration and tickets. Tried the tenacity method first and lost. Won a second attempt just barely. Got frustrated and kept digging. Found your video, changed my modding, and wrecked it. Youre a genius.
Lost 2 rounds and was pointed to this vid through a reddit thread. Well done - absolutely correct with this strategy. Thumbs up.
Thank you. Wasted a few tickets on the “tenacity” method. First time with potency priority - smashed it.
This is the ONLY guide that works well only follow this one who ever is trying to get through tier 2. Every other video guide is wrong and you will waste tickets. FOLLOW THIS ONE!!!!!
This, for the record, was not a paid testimonial 😂
True story
I second this. I nodded the minimum that was suggested. I went 3 for 5. The 2 losses was because I didn't listen and healed and used aoe. Thanks for saving me tons of times. Just basic baby
Totally agree. After grinding unsuccessfully on this tier for a week, knocked out the 3 battles in 5 minutes. Great, simple advice.
💯
Best guide yet. I was 1/5 after using the tenacity guides, I followed this and went 2/2. Glad I never have to do that again! Thank you!
The first guide I’ve tried for this tier, and it worked first. Thank you, so much, I had almost given up hope on beating this tier.
You earned a subscribe with this my guy. My Mods didn't even match the suggestions and I still went 3/4. Everyone in my guild has struggled.
This video is THE way to go
Thank you very much sir! I just went 3 for 3 in tier 2 following your modding tip and strategy. Neither my ROLO or CHolo have a zeta and was never in danger of losing the battle.
This worked for me! I was already doing everything you explained except I was using her special. Once I stuck to just basics I finally got through!
🙌
Thank you so much! worked first time, the tenacity route was driving me up the wall.
Just like to say thanks, 3/3, guide worked very well. Didn't come close to losing. No zetas, r5
i fucking love you!
Thank you for making this. Went 0/3 with a tenacity build and then followed this. Went 3/3 (and an additional 2/2 on tests)
I just went 3/3 with barely and 6 dot mods and Han being only 225 speed this really worked so much better then the tenacity attempts on my first accounts run through! thank you so much!
Worked for me. Dropped first battle then got 3 straight after upgrading mods a bit more. Even lost Han early once and still got there. Thanks
Thank you so much. Once again this is the ONLY guide that helped me beat it. Do not use tenacity sets or you will lose like i did 5 times in a row
Finding this in August 2024 - video works like a charm. Thanks so much.
Thank you, thank you. I went 0/6 before I found this video and i just put 3 potency sets on both and beat it my first try! hopefully 60 more tickets and it will be on to phase 3.
Dude this guide is immense, tried for first time today, so far 2/2. I haven't even got 6 dot mods for some of them, and my potency mods are generally quite rubbish

Best guide ever. I beat Tier 2 3/3, no dropped battles at all. Thanks so much!
Fantastic guide thank you, managed to complete the tier without dropping any battles. Definitely seemed like the basics on Vader were more effective than hoping for ability blocks. I'll share with my guild just cos I know there are a few people going for Leia at the moment. Thanks again!
Your method is so much better than the other guides. Thanks

Still stressful as hell going through it, but it's finally over. And boy, tier 3 is a cakewalk afterwards.
Huge thank you! Not a single drop on Tier 2 and it wasn’t even close.
Absolutely amazing. I was pretty afraid, cause everybody has bee saying that, even with the mods, it was a rng-s*it show. I got 3, didn't even break a sweat. ANd I wasn't even able to get that speed high.
Just followed your advice (also no zetas), lost the 1st battle. Decided to add just Rolo zeta and won 3 straight! Thanks!Nice video!
Dude! Actually insane how good this guide is. Thanks a lot went 3/3. I was so afraid i had to give them zetas and get them higher relics but no! Just modding and the strategy
This worked for me, but holy fuck what a nerve-wracking fight. I dropped a battle, because Vader resisted the block, turn 1 Merciless, AoE, empowered Culling Blade on Han, and rip
I even had speed below 225 on each character. 3 out of 4 vs a month now. THANK YOU
this deserves a good like my friend I tried many things waster lots of energy and suddenly find your video and wow the difference is night and day thank you
Missing ability block 6 times in a row with 130% potency is such a pisstake. Hate this stage, but slightly less than when I did it on my alt and all the advice was "use tenacity!". Thanks for the video, took 4 battles to get the 3 wins.
Wow, I dropped a few battles until I saw this. It worked perfectly, and way easier than I thought. I just passed the word to my guild.
First 2 battles went down easy. In the third battle Vader took out ROLO and there was no coming back even after revive. Battle number 4 was even worse. Gotta collect some tickets now. I was hoping to get it over with in one sitting. With the last two failed attempts I am a bit discouraged.

Same here... healed ROLO before going into phase 2 and used her AOE on the second day run. It softened up DV, but the third time, nothing.
Yo I already beat it following the guides recommending tenacity, but those battles were so sketchy and i did indeed waste tickets. I wish I saw this video first. THIS IS THE WAY
Thanks for this, you saved my butt following all the tenacity nonsense.
Worked well enough, 4 battles, so 1 loss, but that was due to terrible RNG. Thanks
You beautiful person, this made it so insanely easy. Well done!
This guide made it ridiculously easy
Thank you man. I've been dealing with loses cuz such bs moddings...
The only strat that worked for me out of all of the vids that I saw! Much appreciated!
Great guide thanks. Was able to do this with rolo 230 speed and Han at 200.
Thanks so much for making this guide. Made the stage much easier. I was 3/4. Vader got a culling blade crit to finish han on my only loss. Other than that it was pretty straight forward.
This worked perfectly even with 20 less speed on both characters. Thank you so much!!!
3 out of 3, no zetas, R5. Thank you so much, the best guide out there!
I can't thank you enough. I still messed up one attempt, but apart from that it worked perfectly with this guide..
Tried once raw, then tried a second time with my god tier mods, finally on the third time I tried this method and the dark lord died nearly instantly
Possibly because I mostly had level-A and B mods with ROLO at 206 speed and Han at 191 speed, my first two attempts were really close, but didn't quite get Vader down. I re-watched the video and tried again and got the rng for 3 wins in a row. ROLO with 125% potency and Han with 133%. Thanks.
I Love this guide. Great Job!
Folks recommend xaereth's video, I went with the short video and chose to use your video. Went 3 for 3.

Great precise and 100% real! thank you! u got me at no zetas no high relics, hehe
THIS!!! If you're struggling with the tier 2 event, use the mod selection provided and basic vader!!!!
Brilliant. Easy 3/3! That's a subscribe for sure!
Amazing! Went 3 for 3 with this guide.. thanks so much!
Thanks for the advice. I followed Xaereth's guide and was 1/2 then followed yours and went 1/2. I guess it's just a difficult tier, but nothing seems to worth 100%
Work as suggested. Only had one hairy spot where Vader culled CSolo but still managed to win.
Ty brother, 3/3, I heard Rumours that this tier was very annoying but with the mods it was easy
The best video about it! Thanks!
3/3 bud!!God bless you!! :D
thank you so much, you're method really works. i hope you do more in the future.
If only for the soundtrack. This video rocks! 😆😂 honestly, nice video.
The music is fire and you know it 😝
Must be a very fine line with these damn mods. Mine are close to these, superior in some respects, and yet I am now 3/3 fails. rNG was appalling on the last go, took out Han with second shot and 3-po has been going down way too easily every damn time.
I tried this after losing many times in a row. I still only won 1 of the next 3 but that’s better than what I was going previously tho. I’ve just had horrible RNG.
just did all three no sweat thanks!
GOAT
Nailed it. Thank you. Wasted two attempts on the potency video, tried this and smashed it. Brilliant. [edit meant wasted attempts using a tenacity video, don’t do it!]
I hope you mean tenacity, this was a potency video 😅😂 congrats!! Enjoy your Leia!
@@GamingYourOwnWay lol yes. Potency and tenacity on the brain! Got phase 2 done with this *potency* video ;-)
Thanks worked wonders you’re awesome!
Wish I would have seen this sooner..thanks
I failed 4 times with the high tenacity builds. Switched to this method and two straight wins. 👍🏻
Did exactly all this, died first attempt.
Followed your strategy and worked like a charm!!! Thanks for the video!! MTFBWY!
I still managed to drop 2 battles with this. I prefer that to spending zetas though! Thanks
Worked perfect, went 3/3 without losing anyone
Yeah, this didn't help much. Won the two battle then dropped five. They keep focusing Han until he's dead. If they focus someone else, I can't revive since Han keeps getting ability block. Landed ability block on vader once on the two wins at start of the round. RNG is BS.
easiest 3/3 of my life. thank you very much !!
Cannot thank you enough for this ❤
Choice, looks like my aphra mods are going to come in very handy
thank you ! awesome... works so much better !
2/12, I come back half dead from the previous fight and then Vader has an easy time. 3 moves, mostly c3po and han, are specifically eliminated by him.
This worked once I put a Health Circle on Han.
Mate i'd buy you a coffee well done !
Everyone else DEMANDING zetas!!! Did it without any zetas, even on R2 on tier 1 (I will eventually apply them), Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!!!
Listening to this video. Was useless and 90 tickets worth of crystals drop the drain.
Maybe you have some additional advice, i have lost 4x so far following this strat and i am hitting the mod requirements. Han gets yeeted every time because he's loaded with dots...i have a crit avoid arrow on there... is it just the worst luck of all time?
Darn, that is some very frustrating bad luck. Working under the assumptions that both ROLO and cHan both have 6-dot crit avoidance arrows and match the other stats I used, you're not continuously using ROLO's aoe, and you're not using cHan's heal to cleanse dots, I'm really not sure. I'm not sure if there's something picky with like your health and protection numbers that would cause the AI to prioritize cHan more than someone else, it's really hard to say. If you ever want to stream a run, feel free to join my Discord server and I can try to help in voice. You can also try to do what others have done which is focus on tenacity over potency, I personally do not like that because I didn't my toons resisting any more debuffs than if they had minimal tenacity, with the bonus side effect of hardly ever landing exposes.
I'll hit you up on disc when I scrape together more tickets and I can show u the modding and stream the run, maybe it will help add some tweaks to the vid in case there are some weird health and prot balances that make vader more of a dick to Han
Yeah. Unfortunately this strat has done nothing for me. 0/3 so far and all stats match. 6 dot CA. Han always gets wiped right away by Vader
1/3 following this strategy, had crit avoid arrows and met the mods you suggested and speed/potency targets. Han seems to be only left and permanently ability blocked.
Best Tier 2 advice. No problems whatsoever and I didn’t have the right arrows. Hit the like button 👍
you were able to do it without crit avoid mods?
Finally!!!
Wow this was absolutely the best way to do it! Did it with the other guides a couple months ago on a different account and absolutely dreaded it, this made it a BREEZE!!
Crushed it with your guide, EXPOSES for the win. 3/3. I didn't even attempt any of the tenacity routes. Rolo, no zeta r5 2x Potency 1x CC. Han no zeta, r5 2x Potency and 1 x Health.
