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?

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.

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.

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

BB8 possible without Kylo? | EA Forums

I've got mainly leftover mods on them right now. Put some speed on Officer, but I can do better if I need to. Here's how they look currently: https://swgoh.gg/u/kaimulai/squads/86367/

As you can see, I have practically no speed on most of them. I'm trying to figure out if I should just put speed arrows on them and that will be okay, or if I need to switch out entire mod sets.

I just 7* BB8 without Kylo (he's only 88/100).

KRU 85 G8 125 speed (4/7/4/7/7)
FOO 80 G8 199 speed (5/7/8)
FOSFTP 80 G7 144 speed (3/4/8))
FOTP 85 G9 147 speed (8/8/7)
Phasma 70 G7 154 speed (3/3/3/4)

It was important to manipulate turn order via speed on mods. Killed BB8, Han, Rey, Chewie, Finn.

My team is similar. I did have Kylo instead of Phasma, but my only Omegas were Halt and the ones on FOTP. My mods were a bunch of bottom-feeding leftovers like 1-dot CDs and stuff. My fastest toon was FOTP at 147, lol. I thought for sure I'd have to remod, but I ran straight through the event. I'd advise trying it before you spend a bunch of credits moving mods around.

My kill order: stun Finn, kill Rey, Chewie, Han, Finn, BB-8.

Thank all for the good advice so far. Keep it coming! I finished up through tier 6 of the event, and now I’m waiting on KRU and Phasma to get to 7*. That should happen on the last day of the event (the 20th), so hopefully I’ll be able to get 7* BB8 then. I’ll try it with my current mods, and if it proves too difficult, I’ll switch in faster mods to see if that makes it doable.

I found T7 to be easier than T6, even doing them back to back with no change to my team. You should be fine.

Interesting. The description says tier 7 uses Finn’s zeta leader ability, which should make it harder. Maybe they just don’t land as many exposes without Poe?

The group doesn't land enough exposes for that to really matter, and advantage doesn't have too much impact in this fight.

Would be interesting to see if anyone else had the same experience as I had:

Tier 6 - Resistance went first, fight was not difficult but took longer and FOTP ended the battle in the red.

Tier 7 - FO went first, laid waste to them easily. Everyone green health, 3/5 still with protection. (BB8 fired off ID at the end and applied it to Finn only for KRU to go next and double stun/cleanse it all...)

I did it with the OG FO team myself. I lost Phasma in the final tier, but Kylo pulled it through, even without the zeta on him. It isn't that tough, just have decent mods on your team and you should be fine. Good luck!

Haven’t done tier 7 yet, but in tier 6, Resistance went first, killed off KRU fairly quickly, and in the end I was down to only TIE Pilot (my only gear 10) by the time I won.
