CLS Event Gear Requirements

I have no evidence to support this, but my gut tells me this will be a very difficult event. As someone else pointed out here, if CLS has such a massive kit, I really can't foresee them making the event a walk in the park.

I've got all my toons at XI and X and I'm still feeling a bit concerned. I'm gearing my X toons just enough so that in case I need to make a last min push to XI to beat the event ... at least I'll be ready in case it does become a huge challenge, even with arena mods.

Just saying. After the rework. These toons are gonna be useful. So why not max them. The more teams the better I say. Ben has been useless since the meta switch. Now he will be useful again. Leia is useful in tank. So is st han, r2. And with the rework. FBL might be a monster in raids. I have had st Han, Leia, Ben at g11 for over a year now. And don't regret it. (Especially now)

Any indication on difficulty I missed somewhere that has people thinking that will be the only way to beat the event? Otherwise I'd rather just save my gear for newluke.

We've never been required to have 7* toons before. We've never been required to have a specific 5 character team before. We've never been required to use an already legendary character to get another before. Devs have said in the past that acquiring this character should be something special. So I don't think we can compare it to past legendary events.

Although the one pattern from previous events I will say is that they have been tuned harder. The Yoda event is pretty easy with gear 8s, and no to low level mods. Meanwhile the R2 event took 100 tries on my wife's account with her arena mods and some gear 9-10 toons. I think anyone who expects this to be a walk in the park with minimal investment might be in for a rude shock.

That being said, I'm doing what I always do which is have the gear ready if I need it. But I won't put it on them until I have to. I can always beef them up after it starts, and I know how hard it is. But I I go overboard with the gear I can't undo that. That's my default mode always. Farm, hoard, then wait to see.

Best answer on this thread. None of us know what is going to happen. I'm just focusing on getting all 7* characters, and then getting them to G8 with lvl 5 skills. Once the event opens, then I'll upgrade as required.

Well I'm hoping real hard that two g11 and 3 g9 toons can do it. The g10 requirements for old Ben call for 200 carbantis plus a cuff, Luke needs another 50 carbantis plus cuffs, sth needs another 50 carbantis plus 100 syringes. I already need carbantis for so many dang toons so I don't have 300 just sitting around.

Yep. Excellent point. I've had Ben been done since he was meta, now dusting the old boy off again. It's nice to see that some toons can be used again, which goes to your point as well, why not gear them now - chances are they will be worth it even after the event.

Because if you max them, you won't have the gear for CL after you unlock him. Best bet is to acquire the gear to max them, but not max them until you see how hard the event is.

I suspect we'll need everyone at g10+, but we won't know until it's here.

I got StH R2 and Leia max gear 11, Luke at 11 (not maxed) and Ben at 9 (but working on acquiring gear in case I need to gear him to 10). Hoping that'll be enough. Working on hoarding some omegas in case I need them.

Your always "gonna need gear" lol. You can't win this game my friend. And like I said. I have had them geared for a while. And I have plenty of gear for CLS. I don't wait til the last second to acquire gear. Maybe u should do the same.

I hope it's G11

Its actually smart to wait. If you dont need to use the gear then why do it (unless you want to which is fine) i have 3 at g11 but im waiting on the start of the event before i use anymore gear in the other 2
