I was struggling beating the Malgus proving grounds with my SLKR. Last month, I did beat him, but it took me something like 25 attempt. I decided to look for help and came across this video. I don't have Malak, and I can't really afford to work on unlocking him for months, so I was a bit disappointed. Nevertheless, the idea of using Thrawn's fracture seemed really good. So I went and geared him up to try (I wasn't using him much, so I had him at around gear 10) and got him to relic 3 with the mats I've been hoarding for Rey. The team I ended up using : SLKR, KRU, Hux, FOST and Thrawn. Took me around 5 tries and I got it ! Thank you for the video ! It helped a lot :)
@@indelacius yes, but it does take me anywhere from 5 to 15 tries everytime for good RNG, which can be annoying. Mostly it comes down to making sure your Thrawn doesn't get feared and that Malgus has his taunt up otherwise you can only fracture whoever has the deathmark. You also gotta play around Bastilla's wild lightning as it can kill your Thrawn if he isn't very beefy. I'm sure it would take a lot less time to get it done with Malak. I had the conquest pass + this month. Yesterday took me A LOT of tries, the RNG just wouldn't line up. Took me like an hour to get it done. Today, on the regular proving grounds, I did it after restarting twice. In other words, doing it without Malak can be a real pain, but it's possible.
I had some problems with the Malgus battle but I accidentally found out that letting KRU get the deatmark works pretty well. He doesn't get effected by it and SLKR has a bunch of time to ramp up his damage. Once KRU got the deathmark the battle was really easy
Gonna put this out there; just beat Malgus with KRu led SLKR team! Took 8-10 retries to get good RNG and I got lucky enough to build 100% Ult and used the same strategy as the Interceptor. Worked with Malgus getting marked after Revan! 🎉 Edit: For clarity’s sake, iirc 1st Ult was popped around 85% 2nd at 100%. Can’t remember if I poked Revan first or swiped first to gain TM/clear debuffs.. think it was the former.
Ok, just got Malgus finished again using this same setup. Took a few hours to get rng where Revan wasn’t using his 2nd special that turbo charges the enemy? 80-90% of the time, the enemy Revan would 2nd special followed up by Malgus’ leap taking out KRu out before I’ve even done anything.
@@CaptainAmazing_swgoh you can, but they are much more likely to pick your team apart within a matter of seconds. I had several times where I was left with SLKR and like FO ST or Sith Trooper before having the chance to take a second turn. Edit: I’m talking about with the KRu led standard SLKR team.
I beat all the pg tiers for the first time today, I was previously unable to beat interceptor and Malgus. I used thrawn, slkr, Vader, malak and kru to beat interceptor and then slkr, malak, thrawn, kru and traya to beat Malgus.
Awesome, looks like I can beat all proving grounds battles on my alt afterall, just took some investment into Thrawn. I'm sure this will help some of my guild mates aswell
hey, thanks for the video. is there any way to beat malgus and interceptor tiers with SLKR only? (or other characters from lightspeed bundles, except GL Rey)
Whelp, guess I'll have to try next time. I got SLKR recently and I'm still at 7/10 for his ult. I was giving malgus a bunch of attempts, using hondo instead of thrawn because I haven't relic'd thrawn. I got pretty close a couple times, but without the ult I don't think it's possible. I've also been using traya instead of FOST. She doesn't taunt but with the amount of debuffs they throw out it's not easy for them to kill her and if you can land an isolate on malgus it helps a lot.
@@CaptainAmazing_swgoh Well, it's a crazy RNG fest but I got it this time, just barely though. Even after siphoning malgus 5 times he was doing 100K on a basic which is just insane. Thanks for the guide
Probably not to be honest. You can give it a shot. But, I doubt it will work without Malak. The good thing is, he’s an amazing character. His unlocks make two great teams, and it doesn’t take long to unlock him.
I'm very close to unlocking Malak, but he'll be at 5 stars for a bit. Does he still make this work for Malgus at 5 stars? My SLKR is r8, and I have r6 Thrawn.
I'm due to gear up Traya tbh. For the moment, I do have a r5 zeta Daka and r3 Zombie. What would the team comp be with them? Do you still use Thrawn? I've found in all my attempts using SLKR, KRU, FOST, Hux, and Thrawn, that 85% of the time he never gets a turn to Fracture Malgus, and the other 15% of the time when he does, they kill Thrawn so quickly after the Fracture that it makes little effect. Mine is r6, decently modded, no zetas on him though. I REALLY want to work on Malgus. He's one of my favorite characters overall, and it bothers me that those of us who joined the game since a Conquest character's event not only have to go through an INSANELY long farm to achieve them, but also the farm itself is so overtuned that those of us with younger accounts can go months without winning any shards. The farm shouldn't be BOTH excessively long AND exceedingly difficult. I wish I could whale to get him and other conquest toons, but even that's really limited. I just don't get why the event has to be so fricken hard. Malgus, Fury, and Tie Interceptor. Have yet to beat all three.
You can use Omega bot on discord to see. Here is my discord. discord.gg/CRHmTN6Y92 You can use /modscore in the omega bot section with your ally code and it will run a report for you.

Glad I was able to help! This team has really good RNG. But, glad you were able to complete it with just Thrawn!
Are u still beating it with SLKR?

My kru just gets an insta melt from malgus
@@mryellow6918 you still need to keep Malgus fractured, when he is fractured he hits like a wet noodle

Nice! Not sure if that can be consistently recreated. My method has really favorable RNG. Good luck next time! May the RNG be with you.

@@chrishardy3439 Kru dying in the opening isn’t a big deal. You can play through and still win.

@@chrishardy3439 ah ok, yeah thats horrible RNG team. Farm Malak lol

Glad I could help!
The only thing is I wish we could find a team that was non-GL. Those are always the most interesting.
I beat malgus with, traya, Sion, sith empire trooper, Darth. Nihlus and malak.
This was how I unlocked Malgus. I wanted to share my experience to help those who have SLKR to unlock him.

Ult is pretty important. Sorry it didn’t work out this time. It sounds like you’ll get it next time.

@@frigidofdoom7191 glad you got your first shards!
This help a lot!
Thanks, glad you enjoyed it!
Hey, would it be possible with R3 GBA instead of Malak? I'm a few eons away from having Malak unlocked let alone relic'd lol

No, you need relic 3 on a character to use them for proving grounds. You can replace Malak with Traya, or maybe Daka Zombie might be ok.

SLKR Daka, Zombie, Traya, Thrawn would be another team, or you could use my videos recommendation.
I just got to pg and i got my butt kicked and had to deal with the fact i was missing my first pg
You’ll get ‘em next time!
How do you see mod scores?

Took about a dozen retries but I am now 1/3 on Interceptor proving grounds! Did it w/o Malak (not that Hux took a turn).🫡 Ty for this ❤.
Your welcome!
