CLS has come and gone, and I was nowhere near ready. So I've decided to go ahead and start my CLS prep for next time now, so that I will have plenty of time for anything I need to do. Where I'm currently at: 5* G6 Luke, 5* G7 STHan, 5* G7 R2, no Old Ben, no Leia. Basic plan: 7* R2 will require 7* Empire (Palp(L), Vader, Tarkin, Thrawn, RG); farm Luke from Cantina node, buy Luke and OB shards from guild store whenever available, transition to OB Cantina farm once Luke reaches 7*; Farm STHan from Arena store until he reaches 7*, then same with Leia. Questions: What Gear levels and Ability levels do I need to shoot for in these characters? (Same question for Empire for R2 event as well.) Will I need any Omegas/Zetas to complete the event?I would appreciate any advice that anyone has to offer. Even strategy advice or suggested changes to my plan would be great. Thanks in advance!

Plan B Empire toon won't be needed for Thrawn--I 7-starred him!! =D

Thank you so much--that's incredibly helpful!! I appreciate you taking the time. :smiley:

I was indeed prepping for BB-8, but I had decided to halt all FO farming until I'm prepped for CLS. Do you think that works? The main reason I decided to stop is that I have almost none of the RJT characters, so even if I tried, I don't think I could get her next time she comes around.

I'll do my best to get FO farming back into the mix. I do actually have BB-8 already, but only 5*.

Old Ben might take you awhile, even assuming you refresh Cantina energy, to grind. Leia and Han are pretty easy grinds in arena store. Luke can be annoying to grind but it’s alright. They all need to be at least Gear 9 to work. Han and Leia need extremely good mods and high speed. I only omega’d Leia’s Leadership ability, everyone else was 7 (except for R2, who I had at gear 10 with all omegas). Luke needs crit chance so he can stun. It took me a couple of tries but I unlocked CLS

Thanks!! It was much harder than I expected, even after everything I read about it. :p

Gear levels for Team Luke are aI would aim for G9 for team Luke. G8 for Old Ben. Give Leia and R2 more if it comes down to choosing. They will do the heavy lifting in phase 7.

Just know that minimum investment is something of a trap. It's always wise to aim higher to give yourself a pad.

Particularly on Han, Leia, and R2, as they're very useful units elsewhere. Obi Wan is also useful, but isn't part of the hardest fight of the journey.

Omegas wise I needed two on Leia (combine to massively increase damage) and Luke’s special (dispel is needed on the final stage)

Do I need to upgrade all four leader abilities as well? Will I really use them all?
