Eskimo,
Couple of tips on this one.
First off, it's a pain. I've tried it 3 times now with various teams from my SG and the first time, we done it but it took over 5 hours with most of that spent on the last mission. Second time was a lot easier and I'll come to the reason why in a second. Third time was actually this week and it was again the last mission that caused the problems.
- Enemies spawn at lvl 25 so wouldn't recommend anyone at lvl 20-22, though one or two LK's to 24 are OK. The whole team having SO's is a big factor here.
- The missions leading up to the AV encounter are all pretty samey with the enemy groups being freaks, tsoo, sky raiders and crey. Nothing too problematic there.
- The final mission is the killer. Everytime I've taken new people on it the impression has been 'wow, this is so cool'. 20 minutes later the coolness has worn off as it becomes a boring grind.
- At least one flyer is needed and a fly/tp/stealth combo would be VERY useful. You can do it without these but it's really not worth the aggro. (may be worthwhile getting the whole team to stop at arena and buy jet packs. They won't last long but will help while you do have them)
- Brutes, brutes and more brutes. There are these horrid turrets at the end called toxic gas turrets. These are number one priority as they have an AoE hold that is a killer. The hold also seems bugged in that break frees do not counter it. Two of them hitting a brute will hold him but one should be OK so it will be these guys jobs to take them down.
If you do want to do it, send me a tell in game on @kinslayer as I know a few of my VG want to do it and you can use our comp so I can sort you a team for it on Sunday.
Thanks for the info and the offer of help Kin, the info for the last mish kinda reminds me of the Cavern trial in that without certain powers it can be a real hassle.
I'll be bringing along my L26 Brute so I won't have to worry much about general mobs. And hopefully might wipe out all the debt I got from my last respec attempt. *chortle chortle*
The SF's and villian trials seem so much more of a pain than their hero counterparts and that's only after me doing the 1st SF and two attempt's at a respec, although this maybe more to do with unbalanced teams (in terms of ATs and levels) than the actual SF/Trial themselves.
Thanks again and i'll send you a tell next time i'm/your on.

Hello fellow Villians, i'd really like to do the 2nd SF sometime soon so anyone else who's got a 20+ villian and needs to do the SF post below.
P.S. I'll need at least one peep with access to a mission computer as my VG does not have one.
Thanks much
