BB8 possible without Kylo?

When BB-8 was released, the only First Order units were Phasma, Kylo Ren, First Order Officer, First Order TIE Fighter Pilot, and First Order Stormtrooper. Folks got BB-8 to seven stars then.

You have KRUM as your leader, so you have a leg up.

Seriously, is the search button broken?

When I started the thread, most of the info I saw said BB8 was easy to get since all you need is a built up Kylo Ren. Since I do not have the single character ready for the event that most of the guides said was necessary, it seemed like a fair question to ask. If you can find a previous thread detailing someone in my situation, then I am more than happy to grant my thread’s redundance. Otherwise, I must conclude that the search button is indeed broken because I could not find a similar circumstance.

Thank you all for your helpful advice! I just got BB8 at 7* and I didn’t even need to change out my mods! BB8 went first with secret intel, then my Officer (196 speed). Stunned the droid and Finn when I could and used kill order of Rey, BB8, Han, Chewie, Finn. Both pilots survived to the end, so it ended up a bit better than the 6th tier.

Congrats!

I’ll start by admitting that I’ve had other priorities, so if the event was today, I would only be able to get BB8 at 5 stars. But I figured out that I should be able to have a team of five 7* First Order characters by the end of the event if I panic farm Phasma from the galactic war store. Assuming I can do this, my question is about the actual battle. Would it be possible for a team of g8 KRU (lead), g10 TIE Pilot, g8 SF Pilot, g8 Officer, and g8 Phasma to complete the highest tier battle and get 7* BB8?

I wonder this too, finding myself in pretty much the exact same spot. Guess we'll find out in a week or so.

You should be ok if you put the omega on Oppressive Burst (FOSFTP). Asside from being a big damage dealer, Kylo's main element is the stun he inflicts with Outrage. You won't be able to use it as often due to the fact that he doesn't have the cooldown reset mechanic that KR has, but I think you'll be good with the team you have.

You'll probably have to put your arena mods on them, but I'm pretty sure you've got enough firepower in that lineup to get it done.

Thank you! I figured I was going to need to swap mods with another team to make it work, so that’s not a problem. Omega on oppressive burst is something I’ll make sure to do. Are there any other skills I need to have an omega for?

I didn't have it when I got BB8, but FOO's Marching Orders is a great ability to have Omega'd (so is his Pinning Shot for that matter).

KRU's Halt for this event is especially useful because you'll want to use stun a lot, but I wouldn't consider any of his other abilities critical to have omega'd (his leadership zeta is probably the first you should put on any FO toon, but again, probably not in the cards for this event, I'm guessing).

I think Halt was the only omega I had when I got BB8 (my team was laughably under-developed as a whole). I might've had Unstoppable (Kylo Ren) too, but I can't be sure.

Okay, I currently have omegas on SF Pilot’s Oppressive Burst, and Officer’s Marching Orders and Pinning Shot. I should be able to omega Unmasked Kylo’s Halt before the event is over. I should be able to get KRU and Phasma to 7* by the 20th. What speeds are recommended?

I couldn't tell you what speeds you need, just make sure your FOO is getting your best speed mods. You'll be throwing around TM from there, though less than if you had Kylo Ren.
