General Skywalker - Ship Strategy Guide and Post Comparison
Greetings. The Phase 1 part of the Skywalker event is the first time ships have been required for such an event with some players being anxious that their ships would not be up to par because of the requirements for the event. I stayed up and watched CubsFan Han go through the event and decided to try the fleet portion since it is the only thing I had the requirements. I beat it on the second try only having one character with relics. Since then, I have tested the same strategy repeatedly in the event and have had a success rate of over 80%. Since I did not see any other post dedicated to the ship portion, I decided to make this guide for two reasons.
Provide a reliable strategy for players that do not have a fully reliced Galactic Republic Fleet.
Provide a thread where others who may have used less than I did share their strategies so that players can save resources.
My Fleet and Characters
Endurance and all starfighters minus Jedi Consular's had maxed abilities and reinforcement skills. I did not have 5s at the GP level, mine was at 38k.
G12 Mace (No 6E mods), R5 JKA (2 6E mods), G12 Rex (1 6E mod), G11 Ahsoka, G12 Plo (No 6E mods), G11 Jedi Consular, and G11 Clone Sarge.
Starting line-up: JKA, Clone Sarge, Rex Reinforcements: Plo, Ahsoka, JC
Strategy
I followed the same general strategy every time, but there is a high degree of randomness. Usually Clone Sarge will die before the first reinforcement and there are times where both Sarge/Rex are killed. The important thing is to keep going. If Anakin is killed at the beginning restart.
First Turn: Have Rex use his basic, Anakin his AOE, and Endurance use it's force taunt on Clone Sarge. You will likely lose Sarge here which will allow Anakin to likely kill a Vulture Droid. Use Rex's heal if needed.
First Reinforcement: Plo Koon. He will provide a health/protection boost to the team. His first action should be to use his taunt ability on himself. If Sarge somehow made it this far, he is a better candidate. There is a good chance that Plo will die which of course will trigger Anakin's bonus turn.
After the first reinforcement the strategy is practically the same regardless of the randomness. Anakin kills things, Rex basic/heals, Plo provides tm/healing taunt for the team, and Endurance uses its aoe. If Plo dies, have Endurance use its forced taunt on Rex.
Second Reinforcement: I used Ahsoka to provide the team with extra damage and to cleanse the Soulless One's Retribution as needed. If you were in desperate need of healing, you can use Jedi Consular.
By this time you have whittled the enemy down and there are no more reinforcement droids, just keep using the strategy above and trigger Mace's ultimate and you should win.
I hope this guide is helpful and gives players an idea of what can be used to complete the event without having to invest heavily in ships. Please share your strategies below and if you managed to do so with less resources than I did be sure to list it so other players may benefit from your success.
