Cant beat level 7. Daring droid event with specific team. Help!!

Keep R2 shocked and he can't cloak. Chip away at him and use AoE as often as possible. RNG will eventually work in your favor. Don't worry about Han and Leia, they will die from AoE and DoT from Vader and Tarkin.

Need Palpatine over 200 speed. Use his AOE stun first. Then burst down Han, Leia and Luke in that order. Kill the tanks and R2 last....

You want Vader at close to 200 speed...

You were right! Palp over 200 speed and Vader close. I couldn't beat it until I did that. Palp just runs through them. Palp G9 (lead), Vader G10, GMT/Magma/RG G 8 did it. I killed R2d2 first by way of Vader culling and Han the same way. Luke and Leia fell by GMT (kept hammering both AOEs), Ben was easy and Chewie was left standing. RG and Magma did next to nothing. At the end I had Vader, Palps and GMT standing! Good on you for the guide strategy. Cheers! Onto zeta for R2d2!

Need to spread out Palpatines basic attack since he gets TM from having shock on more than one person. Don't use Vaders culling blade unless you know it will kill Han or Leia.

You want Vader at close to 200 speed with some potency to get the speed down landed early. Otherwise they will steamroll you with their high speed attackers.

GMT should be somewhat speedy to drop his AOE debuff as well. That's al he is good for. If you see an opportunity, stun R2 with RG.

So basically if you can't get Palpatine over 200 speed and Vader near 200 speed is not doable? I'm asking because this is my rooster:

I can get Palpatine to G9 and level the rest of the toons to 80, get their abilities trained higher, replace their mods etc

No way I can get to 200 speed though. I am finishing Luke (Farmboy) as well. If 200 speed is mandatory then I would rather cut my loses and call it a good try waiting for the event to come back in a year or whatever. Maybe stop playing maybe since I kind of focused mainly on this the past 3-5 months.

Thanks.

Edited P.S.

I really don't understand how this is WAI. My highest speed character - Palaptine- dies before he can do anything. Not stunned or anything. I manage to take turn with RG/Vader/GMT/TFP. Not Palpatine though.
R2 takes 3 turns at start of the battle too. I am watching his TM and he goes from nil to full without any reason. Chewie taunts and then his taunt expires before my side manages to do anything. How does that work?

Edited P.S. No.2

Like everything in this game this is horribly RNG based. Truth to be told after failing miserably I leveled all my toons to 80 and maxed their skils - omega only on Vader's Force Crush for slow. You can see my mods and speed. Nothing to be jealous of - special mention to TFP Rancor mods. I had tries where my turn would come only with Vader and Palpatine standing and I won with just RG dead. The RNG is atrocious but I guess you can overcome it by buying more.
Either way, I got it. Oh and the worst part was having to watch that cut scene 100 times. Seriously, remove it after the first try. Annoying as fork.

All I can suggest is try, try, try then try some more.

Speed 200 isn't required. I cleared it today with:
EP (L) - Speed 145; G8
Vader - Spd 167; G9
Stormie - Spd 111; G8
Snow Trooper - Spd 98, G7
Royal Guard - Spd 113, G7.

I have a big focus on protection and health, so I was able to soak the first round...2-3 attacks by most enemies, without losing a single character.

Like the others, I focused primarily on R2; Before using Vaders AOE I used EP's heal; The bonus damage boosted the effect nicely, and the increased damage increased the healing, thereby survivability. I kept Han stunned/slowed and focused stunning/ability block attacks when needed, then on Leia when he was stunned/blocked. Between this and Vader, I wore down Luke, Leia, and Han and killed all three in quick succession; I tried saving Kenobi for last (didn't succeed...) because of his death effect.

I won't say it was an easy fight(s). It took a lot. But as you can see, my speed is rather low, so I had to soak a lot of damage, and relied some on RNG to win it. But the speed wasn't a nececssity, just a HUGE bonus.

In the end, keep as much damage away from vader and palp as you can; everyone else is mostly expendable in my build, those two are critical; without one or the other, this team loses, hands down.

Here's the link to my squad:
http://swgoh.gg/u/klause/squads/7/

Lucky you for having EP to do it. Seems like no matter what I do, without EP I can't get his 7* (which is utterly ridiculous).

I have Tarkin, Vader, Veers, RG, and Snowtrooper at 7*. R2 going 3 freakin' times for every one time my guys go (3 of my team are 193-205 speed). AND R2 has zero cooldown for his burn and his smoke. Let alone, even my Vader having 65% tenacity, he still gets stunned "easily" in this match.

My RG is always the first one to go down (yeah, my "tank" dies first because they always target it, whether he throws up his auto-taunt or not) then snowtrooper or veers. I can get Han down, but by the time I do that, I have Tarkin and Vader left (both G9) and R2 has gone about 12 times now so they are almost dead anyway.

I know! I'll spend 500 bucks to get them all gear 12 and level 85! That'll work, right? If not, I'll spend 1,000! That's the whole idea right? That's what worked for the OP? lol.

So your squad is sub optimal, your mods are sub optimal , and it's everyone else's fault. Got it.

Speed up your squad. And build a better comp if you can't make this one work.

Not "everyone" else's fault. It's just your fault, troll. lol Hurry up and send me those google gift cards so I can buy a better team since mine is "sub-optimal".

Recommended level: 80+? Isn't.

Easily could be level 80 or higher, gear level matters and mods matter, char level is not so important.

Now mod your squad better if able, get protection and health secondaries on Rg , get speed on tarkin then Vader and give it a go.

If you don't have EP you really need Tie Fighter Pilot on my squad he was the only one doing real damage 20,000 to 30,000 on his basic and with speed mods and under Tarkin he had 250 speed which really helped.

Honestly, I don't think I've seen a win against R2 without an EP lead yet... coud be mistaken, I just havent seen one yet. That heal on damage is pretty critical, as far as I can tell
