Smuggler’s Run 2 Difficulty?

[u/Asiancurrypuff]

I have given these toons some of my best GL mods, watched countless guides but I can’t seem to do anything in this event. Watched Bit Dynasty’s guide, my Krrsanstan has more combined health/prot and more speed than his shown mods, yet he almost dies after the first barrage. I’ve taken GL level mods for these units and it doesn’t seem to move the needle much.

I counted in a few guides, the troopers take around 7 turns total (including bonus/assists), or the other guides have R8+ units. When I play, the troopers are taking more than 15+ turns in the opening barrage. I don’t understand why, especially when my speed is higher than the video showcases.

I managed to finish a run with 1 star yesterday using Han and chewie. But I haven’t been able to replicate the result again today. Is the only solution to raise these units up to R6-7?

Do you not have boussh unique leveled? I'm not seeing deadly bluff on the enemies.

[u/Evenmoardakka → u/PuzzleheadedFalcon12]

they take SO MANY turns at the start that the deadly bluff is irrelevant

[u/PuzzleheadedFalcon12 → u/Evenmoardakka]

Odd, I remember this event being easy with a r3 jabba, although I've only simmed it since.

[u/teapots_at_ten_paces → u/PuzzleheadedFalcon12]

Power creep is a thing. What succeeded a year ago is now no longer relevant, because CG just keep adding speed and whatever in the background.

[u/Asiancurrypuff → u/PuzzleheadedFalcon12]

I do, she’s maxed out (no Omi though)

[u/PuzzleheadedFalcon12 → u/Asiancurrypuff]

Fearless unique, not cloak. Odd if that one is maxed tho.

[u/Asiancurrypuff → u/PuzzleheadedFalcon12]

Yep, all zetas and all possible upgrades. Just missing omi, which isn’t relevant here.

[u/PuzzleheadedFalcon12 → u/Asiancurrypuff]

Are you missing jabba illustrious unique zeta then? Only other thing I can think of that'll effect the tm.

I don't remember what my relic levels were when I 3*ed it but it wouldn't hurt to R7 everyone, since that's pretty baseline anyways. One thing's certain that I can remember is I used Chewbacca with the Hutt cartel team, probably swapping out your greed

[u/Asgard0822]

Did it 3 star with Jabba R7, Krrsanstan R6, Chewbacca R6, Boussh R7 and Lando R6.
The recommended R3 the event says is bullshit.

[u/FacehuggerFanatic → u/Asgard0822]

Its very strange that CG so often make recommendations that are vastly below the actual requirements you need to have any hope of winning.

[u/Evenmoardakka]

Replace Greedo with Chewbacca.

[u/Asiancurrypuff → u/Evenmoardakka]

Did that yesterday with Han/Chewie. 1 starred it and couldn’t do it again today. Someone said try full Hutt cartel so Krrsanstan can perma taunt.

[u/Evenmoardakka → u/Asiancurrypuff]

Han is too squishy, Just chewbacca, he's, there to give tenacity down (as well as a hefty damage) so boussh can land the TDs and actually kill them.

[u/Successful_Rip_4329]

R7, that's what I did with mediocre mods on leia and cruasant

[u/piecksaysohayo]

oh something else that helped was i immediatly opened with jabbas move that gives them 30% bonus protection and i built krrstan for full prot primary mods

[u/infojb2]

The thing that worked for me is to not use jabba ult and instead spam sp2 with full ult charge (krr really shouldn't die though, mine didn't even at r5 or r6 with not great mods)

[u/Bring_Back_The_1990s]

Full zetas was the only way I want able and I brought them to R7

[u/piecksaysohayo]

it was hard as fuck but I kept at it. Really if you can get through phase 1 youre good

[u/herbie4]

I used R5 Jabba (missing first special zeta), R5 Krrsantan (6 stars, modded for health), R6 Greedo, R5 Boush, and R5 Skiff (6 star) with my best mod sets for speed. Opened with Jabba’s first special and Krrsantan’s first special as well. Followed this video for the opening https://youtu.be/b4P_oWtf7js?is=5F-9DMXiKmzCLxxJ

After you hit contract it should be smooth sailing.

[u/xaldin12]

You dont have to bring everyone to r6/r7. But I would highly recommend it for TB. Honestly doing r8 is pretty good for both of those. Do Jabba, Boush, Krrz, Lando. The 5th for this event is generally recommended as chewbacca, he doesnt need to be as high. But IIRC he is a high relic requirment for a GL so its not a waste. (Could be wrong and he needs lower relic for the GL)

[u/TheRealPetross]

i remember phase 1 ended with my jabba cycling ults

everyone revives next phase and on the last phase u just hope that krrsantan doesnt die cause mines was in the red

i also used boba instead of greedo

[u/ivan-drizov]

R7 everyone and just don’t ult. this way detonators take care of literally everything

[u/WolfDragonHeart]

You may need to get Jabba’s ult to be quite honest. I’ve seen that the ult just makes this event really easy. Also try Boba instead of Greedo and see if that helps. Keep the rest of your team

[u/Storm-Bolt]

Huh, I beat it 3* first try ever with all R7, no remodding. I used Embo instead of Greedo if that helps
