In prep for CLS, I need a 7* R2. In doing so, I need a 7* Thrawn. I had Phoenix at Level 80 with some good gear and decent mods. I got 6* Thrawn, and he's working out nicely, but i need to get ready for the next Thrawn Event. So, I'm asking - do i stick with Chopper, and get all of my Phoenix up to 85, Gear and Mod like crazy, or should i take the time to farm Sabine, which will take forever, because you can't buy her shards?

Chopper's level 82 unique (Omega only) is crucial. Everyone heals each turn. Ezra and Sabine can swap but Chopper makes it exponentially easier.

Go for Sabine, in short term you need to gear higher but long term she is better in STR p2 than chopper and I high geared zeta Phoenix squad does well in STR, TW and TB

With chopper it's doable at around g8, with Sabine you might want some g9/10

Chopper is better as Vendi said, Sabine is squishy.

Since you already have Chopper ready, use him. However, you absolutely should farm Sabine as she is a great toon overall and is key in the Wampa squad in P2 of the HSR.

Chopper is definitely better than Sabine in this case, allowing lower gear levels.

I'm more concerned with the idea that you need 7* Thrawn to get 7* R2. This is certainly not the case.

No you do not. Many options for R2 that don't need excessive gear, Zetas, legendaries, etc.

I understand that guys. Thrawn isn't needed, but my empire team right now is EP, Vader, Tie Fighter, Thrawn, and Veers. I only have two of them at 7* (EP and Tie). Just wanted to be prepped the next time R2 comes back. Didn't want to waste time on Sabine and focus on other things.

Then in that case it will definitely work. You'll destroy the R2 event.
