Hi all,So, looking to the future here and considering options. I guess BB8 might be the next big event that I have the possibility of succeeding with, presuming there's probably at least 4 months until it comes around.So...Simple question - what do you think the best First Order squad to acquire him is?Many thanks.

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.

Any 5 will doThat'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.

FOST is probably the easiest one to take out out of the original 5.

Both KRU and FOX are amazing and easy to get (low level cantina farm).
KRU replaces FOST easily. FOX replaces FOTP easily. FOO is hard to replace because then you have to stack a lot of speed on KRM to stun Rey before she goes.

My First Order were all level 75 except for Kylo Ren who was 82.

My First Order were all gear level 8 except for FOTP who was gear 9.

Every ability was level 5 on every character except for Kylo. His basic attack was at level 8, his AoE was level 5, his outrage was at level 6, and his unique was at level 7.

I didn't use my best mods on them, mostly mods I had laying around that weren't all the way leveled. FOO got my highest speed mods that were laying around.
As for speed FOO 230, FOTP 175, CP 151, KR 139, and FOST 118.

First Order Officer would go first and fill Kylo's turn meter. Kylo would stun Rey, which hopefully would lead to her dying before actually attacking. From there it was focused damage on the kill order I was following using my offensive specials on cooldown. I avoided taunting with FOST unless FOTP or Kylo were low on health.

I breezed through the first five tiers. Tier 6 hung me up until I leveled Kylo Ren from 78 to 82 and put the omega on his basic. I beat it the first try after doing so. Every time my kill order was Rey, Han, Chewie, BB8, Finn. I beat tier 7 on the 3rd try.

Very useful indeed - thank you.

FOO seems to be a definite, yeah?

im glad this question was asked. i have nothing to add, but after spending months planning for CLS, and then quickly prepping for Thrawn, I too am looking at what I will try for next and decided to give bb8 a go. And now that the executioner is farmable (i just like that character) it seems like good times to get a FO team going

I think we can assume that BB8...and then JTR are on their way in the distant future. A good idea to get cracking on them now to avoid having to panic-farm when the events are here.

KRU and KR both gear 11 no zeta and it’s all you need. Literally did not gear or level and of the other FO.

agreed. and i think getting a decent fo team for bb8 wont be too bad. but not at all looking forward to getting a JTR required team.

I'm exactly the same. Getting BB8 seems quite a doddle.

But JTR? Farming the worthless Chewie and Han veterans? Ugh...better get cracking I suppose!

They're not worthless - they get you JTR!

I felt the same way about STH for CLS, FWIW. I've never liked his kit and I never use him.

Well, apart from getting you JTR they're worthless! :smiley:

Oh, I've got love for STHan. He served my Arena team very, very well for many months. Still does a fantastic job in TW and Raids for me. A very useful character.
