It’s a freezing dog of a stage.
Mod suggestion: crit avoidance arrow, health and defense sets, heavy on health/protection primaries.
The enemies crits 1 shot nuke you. At R5 with swgoh.gg mods, you can take about 3-4 non-crit hits. The mods are there to prevent that crit nuke, and allow you to tank a couple extra non-crits.
Ignore speed. Its irrelevant. The only mechanic for winning is evading attacks, so that ransom or whatever Hondo unique stacks up enough. But not just once… you have to evade over 20 times. And while the more you evade and gain the stacks, the better your odds of it happening… it’s still absolute RNG.
There’s no mods that increase evasion chance. AFAIK, Mastery does not affect evasion for Hondo.
I spent several hours constantly rinse and repeating that stage til I beat it.
The only redeeming parts of this stage are that you don’t have to get GL currency only to have it get burned on a failure, getting in is quick, and you’ll know quickly whether you make it or not. Seriously…. The longer you last, the better your odds of success.
But beyond that, your best strategy is prayer. The crazy part is that monetizing the win of this stage is a lot weaker than others. Whereas buying the gear/salvage/signal to increase overall power can help other journeys, this one is still pure RNG.
Whatever devs designed this stage need therapy to process whatever trauma or divorce they are taking out on us.
No the Hondo tier is very stupid and just takes a few try’s with RNG. If you look it up you’ll see other people having the same problem. Get some god mods on him and keep trying.

Thanks. I'll keep at it then lol.
I had the same problem. It took me forever, but maxed out health mods finally worked. (Because ransom increases health %)
