To solo General Skywalker (GAS) and the 501st in Star Wars™: Galaxy of Heroes using Sith Eternal Emperor (SEE), you must absorb the clones' opening attacks, link General Skywalker immediately, and trigger your Ultimate ability before Rex ramps fatal damage. This undersized offensive counter trades full squad deployment for maximum Grand Arena banners by exploiting the 501st squad's high assist frequency to charge SEE's Ultimate quickly.
Minimum Mod and Stat Benchmarks
A solo attempt strips away ally tanks, leaving SEE to absorb all initial damage, Armor Shred, and Mark. High maximum Health is essential because SEE recovers Health and Protection based on his Max Health when linked targets take turns or receive damage.
| Stat Metric | Target Threshold | Primary Role |
|---|---|---|
| Speed | 520+ | Ensures SEE takes a turn before Rex scales Aerial Advantage damage |
| Health | 160,000+ | Absorbs opening burst damage and ARC Trooper's turret true damage |
| Armor | 60%+ | Mitigates heavy physical damage from GAS and Echo basic attacks |
| Mod Sets | Health / Speed | Balances survival thresholds with turn meter accumulation |
If your Health pool falls below these numbers, a critical hit sequence from the ARC Trooper turret combined with GAS's opening Telekinesis or Furious Slash can defeat SEE before his first turn.
Turn Order and Ability Priorities
Rex's bonus Turn Meter mechanics usually allow the 501st to act first. Once SEE survives the opening barrage and takes his first turn, apply abilities in the following order:
- Cast Sow Discord on GAS and Fives (or Rex): General Skywalker is a mandatory Link target because his frequent attacks rapidly charge SEE’s Ultimate meter. Link Fives as the secondary target, or Rex if Rex has high Turn Meter. Never attempt to target ARC Trooper’s summoned turret, as summons cannot be linked.
- Apply Deception with Basic Attacks: Target unlinked clones with SEE’s basic ability to apply Deceived. This disables enemy counterattacks and builds your Mastery.
- Reapply Sow Discord When Links Expire: If a linked target drops or the effect lapses, recast Sow Discord immediately to keep your Turn Meter engine active.
- Activate Power! Unlimited Power! at 100%: Trigger your Ultimate the moment it finishes charging. Do not delay transformation to cycle basic attacks.
Handling General Skywalker's Cover and Fives's Sacrifice
Mismanaging CT-5555 "Fives's" Tactical Awareness unique ability is the primary failure point of this counter. If any other 501st clone dies while Fives is active, Fives sacrifices himself, granting his combined stats to the remaining clones. A buffed Echo or ARC Trooper can eliminate a solo SEE in one turn.
- Force GAS into Cover First: Direct damage into General Skywalker until his Protection breaks and he enters Cover. Clones are immune to damage while GAS stands, though damage dealt through Link still affects them.
- Never Defeat Echo, Rex, or ARC Trooper While Fives Lives: Once GAS enters Cover, target Fives directly if you must use single-target basic attacks.
- Bypass Tactical Awareness with the Transformed Ultimate: After SEE transforms, his transformed special ability inflicts lethal damage on linked enemies. This direct elimination bypasses Fives's sacrifice mechanic when timed correctly.
Threat Assessment and Undersized Alternatives
A solo run becomes high-risk under specific defensive setups:
- High-Offense Echo and ARC Trooper: If both clones carry extreme offense mods and high relic levels, their basic attack assists can overwhelm SEE's passive recovery.
- Heavy Offense or Stun Datacrons: Defensive Datacrons granting bonus attacks, cooldown reduction, or stun locks can eliminate SEE before he links targets.
If you face high-relic squads with aggressive Datacrons, convert the solo run into a two-character undersized squad. Adding Wat Tambor (for the Shield Generator Tech) or The Armorer (for Beskar Armor stacks) provides critical damage mitigation and guarantees the win while retaining most undersized Grand Arena banners.
