Disposable tank/safety valve, especially useful for the Nihilus finish.

Targets are recommendations, not universal minimums.

Upgrades & further targets
  • Current route: Great Mothers (L), Morgan Elsbeth, Death Trooper (Peridea), Night Trooper, Nightsister Zombie.
  • Prioritize speed and survivability on Great Mothers/Morgan; Zombie is the safety valve.

Gameplay

Kill order
  1. Darth Sidious
  2. Darth Nihilus
  1. Use Great Mothers to put Doom on a durable/tank target, then give Blessed to Morgan Elsbeth as early as practical in each dangerous wave.
  2. Let Zombie absorb disposable hits while Night Trooper and Death Trooper (Peridea) keep the debuff/damage engine moving.
  3. On B2-heavy waves, remove B2 early so dispels and Buff Immunity do not break your protection/taunt plan.
  4. Enter the Sidious wave healthy and with key cooldowns ready. Blessed Morgan is the anchor; do not race damage if the team needs to stabilize first.
  5. Before the final wave, rebuild cooldowns instead of finishing the previous wave with everything spent.
  6. Against Nihilus, a safer line is to Doom the Sith Empire Trooper first, then Bless Morgan before Nihilus can Annihilate a key unit.
