Targets are recommendations, not universal minimums.

Upgrades & further targets
  • Use a complete synergy squad and the key leader/unique upgrades. Relic 3 is the entry floor, not a guaranteed clear build. GL plans assume a developed kit and Ultimate unless the plan says otherwise.

Gameplay

  1. Cere must fall before the other enemies stay dead. Use SLKR’s Stun and Siphon to grow damage, pass useful turns with Hux/Officer, and concentrate on Cere when KRU’s Taunt permits.
  2. Repeatedly killing her allies while she lives makes them revive and reduces your team’s maximum Health and Protection. Avoid farming easy kills on KRU; remove Cere, then Malicos’s damage.
  3. Attacking the Ancient Power Core holder transfers the core, stuns its previous holder when susceptible, and grants the attacker a bonus turn. Use this to reach a decisive SLKR action, while accounting for the core changing hands again.
Restarts & further notes

Restart if

  • If the opening removes your required control, tank or damage engine, restart and adjust protection, Health or turn order. Record a clear separately from a three-star clear; a surviving GL alone does not earn three stars.

Watch out

  • Reported alternative: Traya, Nihilus, Sion, Savage Opress, Darth Talon. The linked report uses a different squad; the step-by-step plan above is for the pictured main team.
Requirements
  • Account level 85 and at least 4 million Galactic Power; every selected character must be Relic 3 or higher. These are character battles even when the reward is a ship.
  • A reward tier is available only while that unit has not reached its 330-shard total. A normal completion awards 20 shards/blueprints. Availability follows the active event window; future datamined units are not included here.
