Best team to acquire BB8

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.

Just wanted to say I was in this exact same position.

The only thing I've changed since then is take FOTP up a bunch of levels. I don't remember where he was back then, maybe G9?

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.

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.

Very useful indeed - thank you.

FOO seems to be a definite, yeah?

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.

Phasma lead, kylo Ren, unmasked kylo, FO Officer, and FO tie pilot. Their easiest to farm, and put out a lot of damage.

Officer is the only one I don't have. Reckon I could use Kylo Unmasked?

Plus - he has a leader ability. Instead of Phasma or not?

Yes KRU as lead over Phasma is my opinion, you have enough time to get FOST if you want to farm, but also FOE should be farmable soon and is a beast.

I used KRU (L), KRM, FOO, Phasma and FOTP.

I have FOST, yes.

I'm thinking -

KRU (lead), Kylo, Phasma, FOTP and FOST.


Sound ok?

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!

Sorry though it doesn't specifically answer your question lol.

No, it's a help, thank you. As is everyone's reply, and I thank them for their contributions.
