Best team to acquire BB8

Phasma lead, kylo Ren, unmasked kylo, FO Officer, and FO tie pilot. Their easiest to farm, and put out a lot of damage .
I did it with the original 5 FO and had no problems. Can literally walk through it with a zeta kylo, and the rest of the team g8

Not sure where you are starting from, but confirmation bias aside, I had phenomenal drop rates from FO StormTrooper, and picked up Kylos ship at the same time. I mean it seemed like I was getting 2 + 2 shards a day from node 9 A lightside. That node stands out as the best farm I've had in the game.

I did it with g7 phasma, fost, g8 kru, FO0 and g11 fotp. Fotp had like +60-70 speed. No zetas. Only omegas on Fotp.
For the record, it cleared mythic too (after a alot of tries). And speed on fotp *might have been lesser*. Sorry though it doesn't specifically answer your question lol.

Fotfp is one that's meta in ships.

Unfortunately if you over invest in him he won't be able to carry your team like say for example kylo because he is bit of glass cannon.

He’s not hard to get just have Kylo ren at G 9 and all omegas and everyone else at G8 all omegas. Any 5 will do

That's great, thank you.

And thanks to everyone contributing.

Not sure why but I'd always believed he was super-hard to get. Not sure where I get that from!

It is very hard to get. This is the only event where I've had problems on phase 6 (funnily enough, more problems on phase 6 than on phase 7). If you listen to those people claiming that it's easy with g8 level 70-75 no zetas, you better start farming excellent mods or you will depend a lot on RNG. I did it with all toons level 85 gear 9 no zetas.

Yeah it is easy. I did it with Kylo and Phasma at g9 and the rest g8.

Thrawn is a bit more hard, with a full g9 team (with chopper) you still need to pray for the help of the RNGod. :D

I used KRU G8 Kylo G9 FoTP G9 FOSFTP G8 and Phasma G8 with some low to decent mods (most of them 5dot health mods with speed here and there) no omegas no zetas but all abilities lvl7

I hope this helps you

I appreciate everyone's input, but - I go into any challenges with all characters at 85 and Gear 9 being the bare minimum. That's a rule of thumb for me.

Me too, but I'm seeing some posts claiming that it's easy with g8 and low level. You know we're saying the same thing, right? XD

I haven't done much (if any) work on my FO since I 7-starred BB8... and you'll notice it they're fairly garbage:

I didn't have KRU at the time, so used the old school Phasma Lead/FOTP/FOO/FOST/Kylo. Kylo was probably only G8 when I did the event, but I can't be sure. Hardly any max levels, lots of level 3 abilities, rarely an omega to be found.

I did swap arena mods on. FOTP carried the squad, since I had him geared for ships. Without a geared dps to put out big numbers, the rest of your cast would likely need to be more fleshed out.

KRU as both a lead and a character is only going to make your life easier. Outside of that, I have to imagine that whatever you can easily attain will do the job.

i play fo in arena and can tell you the best team is kru, foo, Ren, fost, and either fotp or foe. Phasma has no place. Foo is the engine that keeps the team running so you definitely want him. Pretty much all your damage will come from fotp and a bit from Ren. Fost and Ren feed everyone 25% tm, while foo reduces cd, gives fotp 100 tm and advantage and also gives the team some tm as well. Put high speed mods on everyone and it’s a pretty easy event. This is not to say you can’t do it with other teams, but if you want the best team and one that is viable in arena as well, this is it.
