It's hard but as long as you get someone decent with the trait bonus it shouldn't be too bad. I also was thinking this would be nigh impossible w/o high fusion Mirror Crusher but I crit it on the first try with 1/5 Sulan.

AviTrek

MIrror Crusher and Sulan should be able to do it.

Possibly Doc Crusher, Apollo, Bride Officer Troi, and Edith Keeler depending on the trait bonus and star base bonus you have.

That doesn't seem so unreasonable for the final mission in the game right now. There are plenty of other missions that only have a couple crew who can crit a node.

[DD] Kirk Induced Self Destruction

Antaak will hit it too with a decent roll I believe.

EDIT - Also maybe Edith Keeler

GCPSoft

I won it in Epic with Antaak. When you select it, it shows "green" outline and "yellow" core, as the risk of losing is high, but when you play it, if you are lucky, you will pass it. I did it in the first attempt.

My Antaak is 4/4 stars, 612 +(240-843) MED (I have plenty of bonuses from Starbase and Collections).

Banjo1012

Antaak can get it

Mururoa

I tried with Antaak and no luck
Fleet is 10/10 for MED.
Maybe I need more personal bonuses ... or Mirror Beverly or Sulan.

Could be that collection bonuses need a boost, absolutely. If you have a strong enough DIP crew (1350ish with proficiency roll) you could also throw the first MED node and get a bit more breathing room for the locked node:



I got this on my very first run, by throwing Warship Tuvok at the first MED node and then getting a good roll with Antaak on the second node. BO Number One handled the final DIP node with ease despite the increased skill requirement due to the failure. I ran it twice by trying to use Antaak on the first node and failed the second both times. Just for comparison, my 3/5* Mirror Bev breezed through both MED nodes without a hitch.

For what it’s worth you could try some other Caregivers, since Geneticist is so limited. Doc Crusher has a better minimum MED proficiency than Antaak (though an even lower base), Juliana Tainer could do it when immortal, and Dr. Katherine Pulaski can certainly do it by 3/5* and maybe at 1-2/5* with a good roll. There are some other 4* options, though they are probably going to be even harder to get a good roll out of and would be worthless for the first node.

RaraRacing

Dr. Katherine Pulaski 1/5 ... first go.

Base 1060
Low 122
(High 396)
Bonus 247
Lowest total roll 1429
(High roll 1703 ... Average 1566)

These numbers include starbase and collection bonuses (+15% base; +13% prof --> missing the Borg collection bonus).

EDIT: added highest possible roll and average.

EDIT 2: For both the locked DIP node and MED node go with:
Darth Bashir - Pulaksi - Etana Jol --> (Bashir, Pulaksi, Etana, Bashir, Etana); how I did it.
Otherwise switch Pulaski out with anyone that has decent SEC for node 2.
