Bare Minimum for 7* Thrawn? (Under level 80)

It is possible, check my phoenix

My phoenix has been exactly the same since when I got my 7* Thrawn. Except Zeb was at level 80, not 83

@Anakin_Skywalker Mods too?

Mods were much better than now, zeb hera ezra were at least 180 speed.

Well, in the end, I managed 7* Thrawn! My "bare minimum" team was as follows:
G10 Ezra, level 80, abilities level 7, speed 193
G9 Chop, level 80, abilities level 7 with omega on "Cantankerous Clanker", speed 189
G8 Hera, level 80, abilities level 7 with omega on leader, speed 191
G8 Kanan, level 80, abilities level 7 with omega on unique, speed 126
G8 Zeb, level 80, abilities level 7 with omega on unique, speed 124, potency 51%

I didn't really keep count but it took me well over 50 attempts all told, but at the start I didn't have the gear or omegas this high. Once I got all the toons to these stats, I finished on my 5th attempt.
Good luck to those attempting this after me!

I forgot to mention: I'm level 78, will possibly reach 79 before the event. My characters are about level 72. Is it worth it to upgrade them to max level?

Is it worth it? I'd say if you want any chance at all of getting 7*, it's mandatory.

Sounds good. What else is mandatory?

You really want to max as many things as you can - levels, mods, abilities, gear.

Levels are important to help get debuffs to stick. A level 72 is going to have a very hard time stunning a level 85 elite.

Mods are important to increase damage output, reduce damage taken, and most importantly speed up your characters.

Abilities, especially the omega/zeta tier, are a huge force multiplier. Though if you can't reach 80 you're not going to see any on uniques (I still maxed Ezra and Zeb basic because it's a big boost).

Gear is where most of your stat growth comes from. Some people say you can get by at G8, but without omegas I think you're looking at G9 or even G10.

Hmm, that was what I was afraid of. Not sure how much gear I'll be able to grind, but we'll see.
Meanwhile, I'm planning to move my Arena Mods to Phx, to give them the best speed possible. Unfortunately, even my Arena Mods aren't that good.

If you spent crystals on extra energy every day, you won't be able to reach lvl 80 by the end of the event? All your crystals can go to energy refreshes (cantina & regular) just to boost your xp and get you there faster!
