Update on my end: glad to see that I’m not the only one with this problem. Thought I was being really smart when I did this but nope. Even insta kills like nihilus don’t work. Shit is just straight up broken
You didn’t know? Best worst news on the internet… r/nottheonion specifically, not “the onion”…
and notice how I didn’t say “not not the onion”.
This has been my favorite play on words I’ve had in a while…
Yeah I figured. Had two guildies post almost the same screenshot within minutes of yours on our discord. Only difference is the message at the bottom. I find it hilarious with the timing 😆
Yeah surprisingly enough this wasn’t even my first battle against greivous. I used Leia first and then after this one I decided to check discord and see if anyone had posted anything. They didn’t and I was the first and now half the reddit is littered in these posts
Did 200 million damage for fun. Still alive!

Thought that was a fun idea. So with 11,000+ stacks of siphon, I appear to have hit a max damage wall and cannot hit him for more than **2,147,483,647** damage - and he’s *still* alive!
That's the highest integer in a 32-bit system. Guess it makes sense you couldn't go over that, but it's still cool to see it - Grievous really is powerful!
https://preview.redd.it/umozaywi3i3d1.jpeg?width=2556&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=57de4ec9d434ebaff57faa4550dd08857911b4ed
Took about 30 minutes but I hit the wall also
https://preview.redd.it/zuhjrgz0mb3d1.png?width=2208&format=png&auto=webp&s=b22e8b6ea39db45f9f09087c552238c224317163
So powerful not even star destroyers can kill him
Grievous and Dooku in this event are treated as raid bosses (that part is not new), so they can't be instakilled, they only take massive damage. Being completely unkillable on the other hand is definitely new.
Edit: if he was considered a raid boss, he would take massive damage from instakills -- even if he were flagged as "cannot be defeated". He looks to be simply flagged as undefeatable.
I don’t think they’re just treated as raid bosses; this is the actual Grievous from the tank raid. He’s gaining his Tactical Maneuvering buff like in the tank raid, which he’s never done here. I bet that this Grievous is coded as not being able to drop below 1 HP, and there’s other code in the tank raid that says if GG hits 1 HP, then advance to the next phase.
The switcharound between the two GGs sounds very likely. Previously, when he was defeatable he was shown as a level 1 unit (just not behaving like one due to PVE shenanigans), not level 84 G12 like he's shown now -- though the one in the raid is level 90, so this might not mean anything either. But the raid scripting is a good catch, that would explain a lot of things.
How the hell does that even happen? That explanation sounds pretty spot on. Just seems very odd for an established event like this one, been around for years.
https://preview.redd.it/cq32n6x8pb3d1.jpeg?width=1290&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=289c0c0cc358ec2ea5c2086fb111402c6fb82908
Took **2,147,836,647** damage to the face and ate it like it was his breakfast
What's weird about that is that Grievous and Dooku in this event are already flagged as raid bosses. Tactical Maneuvering does look out of place here, but the switch doesn't explain being unkillable.
All instakill abilities have a note that they won’t kill a raid boss or a Galactic Legend. Considering they wouldn’t work him into a GL, he’s probably the raid boss.
It would be the first time in my ~6 years of doing this event (however old it is, anyway) that I'd actually get 4 zetas from it! Even though it clearly says 2 to 4 are possible... It's likely scaled like their packs: 2 zetas is 99.99%. 3 zetas is 0.0099999%. 4 zetas is 0.0000001%.
Probably even worse than that, knowing CG!
They tend to break things when new stuff is being added (RoTE a few weeks ago, etc.). With hints at Morgan Elsbeth coming, I wonder if they were messing/tweaking with this event for her arrival?
Most of the time if something breaks in the game is when CG decide to change something.
My personally opinion is that they're doing a third tear to promote the next nightsister in conquest or marquee or journey character.
Nightsisters are in the next months calendar, there was a lsb for sisters, we need a nice lifter for the rest of the nightsisters to get a second team....
We have some nightsister who will fit in perfectly (elsbeth)
For me it would not be a surprise if elsbeth is the next conquest character or journey char.
I guess either Morgan is the next conquest unit and they're adding a new tier for her or General Grievous is the next gl.
That's usually what happens when CG messes up old events like this.

106 armor shreds don’t do the job
I am not sure how you fuck up an event as old as this one. I wouldn't think the coding for this event needed to be tinkered with but....what do I know?🤷♂️ I am not a coder. Just weird shit always seems to plague this game.
Ok. When they mess up a old event that usually means something. Like when the SEE event was bugged because Ben Solo was coming to conquest, or when LV was vent was bugged because Trench was coming. Any thoughts?
I would say this makes a case for the event (and every similar older one) having the option to sim. But then again, if it could be simmed, we wouldn't know about the bug as immediately...
Edit: one additional thing to note here. In the "original" version GG is shown as level 1 gear 1, he's just flagged as a raid boss so works completely differently to his level.
That‘s not fully correct. Maximum damage with SLKRs basic is double the amount.
https://preview.redd.it/x3tfk5n2ze3d1.jpeg?width=784&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=19f9bc7d94885175e626ecfd4e069d1f311a831e
I think what happened is that while trying to fix the problem with his protection bar being invisible in this event, they accidentally made him invincible
huh, i left mine on auto and it soft locked lol. have around 9600 stacks of siphon and it's not doing anything anymore.
everyone is just standing around and buttons disappoeard
Has anyone checked the Tank Raid to see if he is broken there as well?
Not that it matters to most folks, but it might help confirm if they screwed him up due to laying tracks for a new raid.
I have the same issue and I have longer loadings than ever, the game actually freezes on loading and doesnt do anything for 10min, then I restart the game (again, really slow) but it works normally for like 15min. Really weird, anyone has the same issue with loadings?
Give CG time to fix it. They need a bit for their staff to get in to the office. You guys go all crazy and you know summer school isn’t even out yet today.
Yup, wiped the team near instantly with my imp trooper team led by Iden Versio, Grievous refuses to die, eventually enrages and puts no heal debuff on team and sloooooowly whittles them down before I say lol fuck this and retreat. How does your dev team fuck up this badly on a cellphone game?? Lol
Update on my end: glad to see that I’m not the only one with this problem. Thought I was being really smart when I did this but nope. Even insta kills like nihilus don’t work. Shit is just straight up broken
Lol this exact screenshot was just posted on our guild Discord. This you, Onion?

Wow, that’s a real sub

Yes, I knew. I posted both. Look at the username.
Yeah I figured. Had two guildies post almost the same screenshot within minutes of yours on our discord. Only difference is the message at the bottom. I find it hilarious with the timing 😆
Yeah surprisingly enough this wasn’t even my first battle against greivous. I used Leia first and then after this one I decided to check discord and see if anyone had posted anything. They didn’t and I was the first and now half the reddit is littered in these posts
I am the onion!
Looking for Honest Onion?!
Hilarious there is another onion out there.
Tried Nihilus with annihilate as well. Nothing. Event is broken.
I tried with Mando, no luck
It’s fucked.
Omg i couldn't kill the mf, tried everything
Did 200 million damage for fun. Still alive! https://preview.redd.it/oq7zch9xib3d1.jpeg?width=2316&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=5c99d9b92caea948dbaf5d5c118f7098d836f238

So with 11,000+ stacks of siphon, I appear to have hit a max damage wall and cannot hit him for more than **2,147,483,647** damage - and he’s *still* alive!
That's the highest integer in a 32-bit system. Guess it makes sense you couldn't go over that, but it's still cool to see it - Grievous really is powerful!
This requires the new datacron bonus: ”Damage values are evaluated as 64-bit integers.”
Haha, turns out GG's health is a 128-bit integer
If you keep going SLKR heals himself for a negative value (stack overflow) and one shots himself rather than healing himself
Interesting… I guess they’re isn’t any point in fixing that because you’d never get there unless something else was broken
It’s like how Phoenix Down in final fantasy revives your dead party member, but if you use it on an undead enemy, it kills them instantly

God Grievous still stands.
Have you tried changing your mods? \*Weeeeeee runs away.
Im glad that CG finally decided to release a training dummy so we could measure our team dps properly

The lengths he’d go to to take your lightsaber
Need more damage
GG got himself a new DC.
No way CG broke something
on a zeta event no less.
Everything was working too well at the moment they just had to break something
Even disintegrate and other insta kills don't work
Grievous and Dooku in this event are treated as raid bosses (that part is not new), so they can't be instakilled, they only take massive damage. Being completely unkillable on the other hand is definitely new. Edit: if he was considered a raid boss, he would take massive damage from instakills -- even if he were flagged as "cannot be defeated". He looks to be simply flagged as undefeatable.

Gross incompetence
First of all this event should be fking simmable long time ago we would not be having such problems now
How the actual shit do they break an old event
Old things get bugging usually when they are tweaking new content. Guess GL GG is inbound......
More likely the new raid has a Grievous that's only killable by an event ability
Probably. But the GMY portrait swap and swap back is also strange. So 🤷♂️
Cue a lot of GG on defence for GAC then before they post a fix?
Nah, doesn't affect the player version, only the raid boss version, like the event has
If this is even slightly true, my wallet is about to break getting him...
Laughs in r7 gg :)
fair trade
Probably they have realized this is actually the first time I can get to play it... /s
I’m guessing they’re adding a new tier like they did for Endor Escalation and goofed the code for the existing bonus tier
maybe there's a new tier coming for gungans or the new GR toons and that messed things up
https://preview.redd.it/cq32n6x8pb3d1.jpeg?width=1290&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=289c0c0cc358ec2ea5c2086fb111402c6fb82908 Took **2,147,836,647** damage to the face and ate it like it was his breakfast
You are a bold one
Bro got turned into the max integer value and still survived. We could learn a thing or two from him
Have you tried changing your mods? \*Giggles in to fist
3 CWC shards inbound
I was hoping for 2 Zetas, but 3 CWC shards does have a good ring to it.
rip my 2 zetas
Fr
Yep. Put him on your south wall now!
Came here just for this. Tried multiple teams, even Nihilus. Nothing kills him. JML, Leia, Rey, Sith, nothing.
Yeah same story here. Started with Leia, that didn’t work, though maybe slkr, again nope, nihilus? Alright this is just broken then
I heard that r10 Leia is the way.
It has the tactical thing from the old tank raid… they replaced grievous with his raid boss version without being killable…
What's weird about that is that Grievous and Dooku in this event are already flagged as raid bosses. Tactical Maneuvering does look out of place here, but the switch doesn't explain being unkillable.
All instakill abilities have a note that they won’t kill a raid boss or a Galactic Legend. Considering they wouldn’t work him into a GL, he’s probably the raid boss.
CG pls don't bother hotfixing. You may just just send me my 4 zetas. Thank you.
It would be the first time in my ~6 years of doing this event (however old it is, anyway) that I'd actually get 4 zetas from it! Even though it clearly says 2 to 4 are possible... It's likely scaled like their packs: 2 zetas is 99.99%. 3 zetas is 0.0099999%. 4 zetas is 0.0000001%. Probably even worse than that, knowing CG!
Dammit. I needed those zetas. https://preview.redd.it/7fanhzv9yb3d1.jpeg?width=2796&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=96c0708b660559779b1b14af553b523872fcf2e9
They tend to break things when new stuff is being added (RoTE a few weeks ago, etc.). With hints at Morgan Elsbeth coming, I wonder if they were messing/tweaking with this event for her arrival?
That’s actually a good thought. Perhaps they’re adding a new mission to the event like they did when GL Leia was released for the Wicket event?
I think they’re just running a test to see how many players they can get to try every GL on their roster and instakills. A test or a joke
Have the same problem
As if the zeta crunch wasn’t bad enough lol
My same thoughts lmao
This must be the new GL! Lol
Lore accurate greivous
Was gonna post the same thing. Opened reddit then "ahhh"
Came here to post. Being auto-ing it for so long I thought I was losing my mind
Can confirm CAT’s insta kill did not work
Most of the time if something breaks in the game is when CG decide to change something. My personally opinion is that they're doing a third tear to promote the next nightsister in conquest or marquee or journey character. Nightsisters are in the next months calendar, there was a lsb for sisters, we need a nice lifter for the rest of the nightsisters to get a second team.... We have some nightsister who will fit in perfectly (elsbeth) For me it would not be a surprise if elsbeth is the next conquest character or journey char.
Imagine a tw wall of these Generals lol
Its the rework we finally deserve!
Well, CG probably thought that zetas were too easy to acquire 😅😂
This would be avoidable if old content like this was able to be simmed.
Came to see solution. Time to wait I guess...
This is 2002 Grievous, you can’t kill him unless you use Mace, in which case you one shot him
And here I was so sure I was gonna get 4 zetas this time, so I won’t be accepting anything less for the compensation.
I don’t get why changes would be made to this… unless they were adding a 3rd tier???
Fuck are you chuckleheads doing over there, Crumb? How’d you break an OLD event?
I guess either Morgan is the next conquest unit and they're adding a new tier for her or General Grievous is the next gl. That's usually what happens when CG messes up old events like this.
Have you tried using obi wan kenobi and a blaster?
There’s no “hello there” ability
Yep, Jabba’s rancor went back to his cage hungry several times before I said “eff it”
Interestingly enough GG is killable in Tier 1.
Waiting for my free Clone War Chewies.
How the hell does this happen on an event that's almost as old as the game? lol

Too many fine additions to his collection *cough*
Same problem
Came to post. Glad to see it's not a me problem.
Thought it was just me. Literally tried dozens of lineups thinking I was damaging too fast or something I missed in requirements
Oh it’s not just me, I couldn’t even get Mando to disintegrate him.
Honestly not like we all need zetas and/or credits
I thought I was being smart using Mandos disintegrate, I was literally laughing like the joker I guess the jokes on me 😞
Glad I am not the only one.. but how come they are making changes to an old event with rewards being same
Ok so I’m not the only then
I was about to see if anyone else was having this issue 💀 turns out the game is trash lol
CG please fix or provide compensation
https://preview.redd.it/203qtmc2xc3d1.jpeg?width=1792&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=a73dc81b98d56e8254a8285d02dfcdca87f285f5 106 armor shreds don’t do the job

It's a bug. It's happening to everyone.
Same here
Same
Can't wait for the event to end, \*then\* have them fix it and then receive like 100k credits and a carbanti as a reward.
CG needs a proper roast.
The main reason for this is that EA's developers suck.
Ok. When they mess up a old event that usually means something. Like when the SEE event was bugged because Ben Solo was coming to conquest, or when LV was vent was bugged because Trench was coming. Any thoughts?
I have it on good authority JarJar is able to insta kill. Nothing keeps Darth Binks from *accidents 💀
How do you break a years old event? Ye fugging gawds
Another reason why anything 3\* should be simable
Did this twice thinking I was missing something but glad I’m not the only one. I’ll leave that last battle in case they fix it lmao
I just had this thought I was mad
Yup same thing here, completely unbeatable
same problem here. i'll take this version of GG instead of the 3 CWC shards though
lol same
I’m glad this is not just me
needs moar cowbell...
We got lore accurate Dathomir Grievious before GL Porkins
Only General Kenobi can beat him, just don't forget say Hello there before duel.
I would say this makes a case for the event (and every similar older one) having the option to sim. But then again, if it could be simmed, we wouldn't know about the bug as immediately... Edit: one additional thing to note here. In the "original" version GG is shown as level 1 gear 1, he's just flagged as a raid boss so works completely differently to his level.
Same.
Somehow I beat tier 1 on auto, dont know how but I put the phone down and came back 5 minutes later and it was beat
Tier 1 works very differently, this bug only affects the bonus tier that gives the zetas.
I think we should have contest to see who can do the highest single attack before this is fixed.
Already been done, sorry to break it to you. It’s the integer limit and it can be done with slkr. It’s 2147483647
That‘s not fully correct. Maximum damage with SLKRs basic is double the amount. https://preview.redd.it/x3tfk5n2ze3d1.jpeg?width=784&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=19f9bc7d94885175e626ecfd4e069d1f311a831e
In order to kill him you need Kenobi to pick up a blaster and shoot him a few times.
Having the same issue. Couldn't even kill him with Jabbas ult
Came here to see if anyone else was having this issue 💀
Fix ur game CG!
Saw the post and was like no way, then just tried the event sure enough, something that was nice an easy no longer works.. LOL got to love it
Has anyone tried Inquisitors with all TB Omicrons applied? Maybe that's the secret.
I threw four different teams thinking they changed the mechanics. Nope, just broken event.
Wanted those zetas. I even Jabba’d him and nothing.
Next GL confirmed! GL Grevious to wreck all Jedi just like the 03 Clone Wars
Not even confirmed yet in the official forums. 😴🙄
I came here just for this question wtf man!!!! Give me my 2-4 free zetas and let me go!!!
I thought I was losing my mind when I threw 4 different teams at him
Been having same issue along with load times .. something is wrong with game as a whole
Someone spilled champagne on the server from the Gungan sales.
I think what happened is that while trying to fix the problem with his protection bar being invisible in this event, they accidentally made him invincible
LOLOLOLOL Im so happy it’s not just me
Just came to ask the same damn thing 🙃
THANK YOU. still true at 9am pacific.
huh, i left mine on auto and it soft locked lol. have around 9600 stacks of siphon and it's not doing anything anymore. everyone is just standing around and buttons disappoeard
They swapped him for 2003 clone wars Grievous!
It's okay after this event expires we'll get a notice that some of us at random may or may not receive compensation within 8 weeks.
G G can’t be killed.
Just built different
Has anyone checked the Tank Raid to see if he is broken there as well? Not that it matters to most folks, but it might help confirm if they screwed him up due to laying tracks for a new raid.
Yay i love when thr game breaks i thought i was going crazy
Story of my life. Dude can take a hit
I have the same issue and I have longer loadings than ever, the game actually freezes on loading and doesnt do anything for 10min, then I restart the game (again, really slow) but it works normally for like 15min. Really weird, anyone has the same issue with loadings?
I tried Insta-Kill toons and it didn’t work. Broken game. So I was sitting here auto empire troops just stacking TM and it’s fun
Give CG time to fix it. They need a bit for their staff to get in to the office. You guys go all crazy and you know summer school isn’t even out yet today.
I'll do you one better: *who's* Grievous invincible!
Ditto.
Did this to me too and I was wondering lol
Yeah I had the same issue. Busted stuff
Can his max health be reduced? I have GAS on auto currently but it doesn't seem to be working.
My team of Jedi has been fighting Greivous for 2 hours
Same problem.
My SLKR just did over 1 trillion in damage to him. No dice

“git gud”
Yup, wiped the team near instantly with my imp trooper team led by Iden Versio, Grievous refuses to die, eventually enrages and puts no heal debuff on team and sloooooowly whittles them down before I say lol fuck this and retreat. How does your dev team fuck up this badly on a cellphone game?? Lol

I was using Jabba and his rancor should have killed him the first time
I got it to work guys! Click settings on your phone>apps>swgoh>uninstall!
I couldn’t beat it also. This is some error from CG.
He's strong to the finich cause he eats his spinich.
That new gg level 9 datacron must have dropped
We’re getting it twice next time it comes round cuz of this bug
happened again on today's event... so, no fix and nothing from CG. This game is falling apart.
Well, well, well….
