Requirements
- 1Player Level 85 minimum.
- 2Four specific characters at Relic 7+: Kelleran Beq, Paz Vizsla, IG-12 & Grogu, and The Mandalorian (Beskar Armor). Bo-Katan herself is loaned to you for Tier 4.
Tier breakdown
The Foundling — five Gear 13 Clones including the 501st Captain (boss), 501st Veteran, regular troopers and an Arc Trooper. Grogu cannot be damaged or debuffed.
The Pirate — Weequay Pirates that lean on Stealth and Nikto Bruisers/Thugs who keep healing each other across waves.
The Return (Part 1) — eight Imperial Armored Commandos spread across four waves, all Gear 13. Losing The Mandalorian or IG-12 & Grogu ends the run.
The Return (Part 2) — Dark Trooper Moff Gideon boss at Gear 13. Takes only True damage unless he's hit with Armor Shred, and he immediately removes it after using a Special.
Strategy tips
- →Farm Kelleran Beq first — he is the slowest of the four required characters and his unlock is gated by a separate event.
- →Relic 7 is the listed minimum, but R8-R9 makes the Moff Gideon fight noticeably more comfortable, especially on his True-damage windows.
- →Pair Mando Beskar with IG-12 & Grogu on Tier 3 and Tier 4 — their kits are designed to feed each other turn meter and protection.
- →Don't waste Bo-Katan's Mandalorian Recovery in Tier 4 before Gideon starts spamming his AoE — the cleanse + heal is your best tool against his True damage rotation.
- →If the fight goes long, manage cooldowns so you always have a dispel ready when Gideon removes Armor Shred — without Shred, your damage tanks to single digits.
