Excessive Damage

I didn't really pay attention to damage. But my characters were taking a beating once in a while and Chopper and Kanan both got taken out, although luckily they were revived by Hera's Backup Plan ability since I had given both of them that. But I finally got through the final tier and got 3 stars.

All my characters were gear 9 and 10 too. And Chopper REALLY is needed for the final tier. Last time I was using Sabine and couldn't get through it. I then finally got Chopper to 7 stars and maxed out ALL abilities and got him to gear 9. He made a HUGE difference.

So maybe gear up the characters a little more and use Chopper. That should help survive the final tier. Also mods will help, but I didn't have my Phoenix characters modded correctly but still got through the final tier. With Ezra, always call in Zeb or Kanan to assist because of their protection gain. And try to use Zeb and Kanan's protection gain abilities whenever they are available and use them on whoever is low on protection or doesn't have protection. That should keep characters around a little longer. Plus go after the Death Troopers first and as soon as you can. I know that one character starts off with Taunt. Just keep hitting him until Taunt expires or Ezra can get rid of it with his one ability. Then start attacking the Death Troopers. That's until the one character gets Taunt back again.

The tier isn't impossible either. Because I used Chopper instead of Sabine, it only took my one try this time to get through the tier. Also, you could just hit Auto Basic until the final wave/round. That's another thing I did.

Yes, dmg is high sometimes.

Make the event more aprochable for new players please.

If you can't be patient, don't play. I was in a similar situation but with the Yoda event and also Palpatine event. I was struggling to complete it at first and didn't have enough Jedi characters and so on. Plus I had to miss the event 2-3 times since I started playing the game. Jump to a year later, I have Yoda at 7 stars because I was patient and put together a Jedi team. I never complained once for them to lower the standards/requirements and make it easier so I could complete the event.

I was struggling with the Thrawn event myself, but I accepted failing the event back in October and retreated to prepare better for the next time it would pop up. All I had to do was gear characters better, 7-star Chopper and gear him plus get him to level 85, and then use him instead of Sabine. Got through the final tier of Thrawn event in one try/attempt and now have a 7-star Thrawn.

Oh and I'm 100% free-to-play. So that takes even more patience. But you'll eventually get Thrawn. It just takes time, patience, and accepting that you will have to wait for another time. And I'm pretty sure the Thrawn event will return. It's not a one-time thing or stops after 4-5 times.

Yoda event lololol. Yoda doesn’t have death troopers. Thrawn event is completely unreasonable at tier 7. You need 30 MK 5 sun guns to even have a chance not to mention the imbalances due to team members leveled. Sabine teams are at a huge disadvantage since Ezra and Chopper are practically mandatory and the game doesn’t warn you. Thrawn is not worth the cost in teams of his usefulness in HAAT and he is fine at 6* for a decent empire team at g11 with zetas.

Bull. This event is not like Yoda or palpatine AT ALL. Those events took time simply because we didn't have the required toons... Always missing a Jedi or 2, or someone wasn't 7* yet... The day we got those however, I got example could 7* both of them within an hour. No fuss, no shuffling of mods, no gear 9s and above... This one however: I gave them my best mods, pushed their levels to 83, geared them way higher than others in any other event...and it wasn't even hard. It was impossible. Like, "by the time I gained control someone would have died"-impossible.
No other event in the game is like this. For example, I have to spend 10 minutes just to make sure that Ezra isn't the last one to go in stage 3 or else he wouldn't be in position to take away the taunt in 4 - but he always did just that. 10 minutes later, he's finally in position to take away the taunt but right after that is a Fracture and both DTs going double-critical attacks with 10k+ damage each so someone always dies before the next person moves, then it's back to the beginning grinding 10min to get Ezra in position again... seriously, where's the room for tactics here beyond pure blind "I hope that DT misses" luck?
What justifies this much pain long after we qualify to complete this event?!

When it was first released the yoda event was extremly difficult, on par or maybe even worse than thrawn is. It was that bad the devs actually nerfed the difficulty. Also many in my guild have beaten thrawn with full G8 phoenix running sabine, took around 8 tries with average mods. It just requires you to fully take advantage of their kits

In that case I'd happily take nerfing of the difficulty here too, and that's my point... They've done it before to those other obviously broken events so why not here? And why the silence from the devs throughout?

There’s no way that’s working this time around. I did it with my Arena mods, G8+Pieces, Basics and Uniques Omega’d, level 85, and with Zeb/Chopper instead of Sabine. Right around 40 tries. One time I got all the way down to just Thrawn due to a ton of misses but Thrawn shot my team down one at a time before I even got him down to 75% protection. Most of the tries though, I didn’t even get down both DTs.

I watched vids of people doing it with G8 teams and not only was the AI doing a lot less damage, Ezra was doing a lot more damage with health mods versus my crit dmg set. Something is reallly wrong with this event right now.

Make sure to go into phase 4 with kanaan and Ezra’s tm at about 80-90% dispel taunt. Dispel dts potency buff with chopper. Kill dts. Backup plan anyone fractured (if it’s hera restart) taunt juggle between chopper and kanaan. Use heras play to strengths on zeb and target thrawn. Keep him stagger/stun locked with zeb. Finish off remaining troopers with Hera and Ezra both using each others assist specials. That’s how I did it. No zetas. All omegas. Chopper g9 ezra g9 Hera g9 zeb g8 Kanaan g8. Zeb potency at 55%

I agree I autod it at lvl 80 in October. Trying to help brother beat it now and he's higher better geared and modded out and they are hitting for over 20k , they probably changed it to make you waste a zeta.
