My collection (did a ton of upgrades today so they may not yet be reflected in my profile):https://swgoh.gg/p/342639299/I recently started putting my BH gearing into high swing for Chewbacca, but I'm undecided between Greedo and IG88 for my 5th team member. And I'm not sure how much gear I need for my characters not at g12 to be ready for the event. My team currently consists of:1. zBossk (lead) at g12+22. Boba Fett at g12+33. Dengar at g11+44. Cad Bane at g11+2For my 5th member, I could either gear Greedo (currently G7+4) or IG88 (currently G9+5). The mod loadouts currently on them are temporary loadouts that are not representative of what I'll use for the event, or even in the short term if I use them for anything serious. So first, should I gear Greedo or IG88? Utility outside of this event is important to me too. Next, how much more gear do my Dengar and Cad Bane need, if any? And how much gear does my 5th member need?

Seconded on Greedo. Gear for everyone but Greedo is probably good, or at least I’m banking on it being enough.I use the same team with Boba lead in p3, the goal being to activate payouts and get Greedo to send off a bunch of chains in a stand alone. Another deathmark character would make it much better...

Yeah, that’s exactly why I ended up swapping Cad in for 88. 88 was a waste. Cad’s special that goes through foresight, stuns and cleanses came in handy.G12 zBossk, BobaG10 Cad, Greedo, DengarSlow gearing up to 11 where possible. I had G10 Boba and G8-9 on the others last go round and missed 7* by a hair.One thing I did that ended up getting me closest was modding relatively heavy for Protection to take advantage of Bossk’s +50%

Something about him countering R2's stealth, if I understood correctly.

Also, would this make a decent HSTR team of some sort and if not, what would I have to change?

Def go with greedo, IG is squishy AF and offers no control element. Greedo on the other hand can steal someones TM.As far as HSTR goes, that current team goes well in p2. Again with Greedo

Greedo or IG88? And How much gear do I need?

Thanks, Greedo it is, how much more gear do my Dengar, Cad Bane, and Greedo need?

I just started gearing Greedo today, I just want a ballpark of what I need for Chewy and then for HSTR. g9? g10? g11? 12?

I'm led to believe he's too squishy at anything below G11 (for 7* Chewie/HSTR)

HSTR the higher the better... Even at gear 12 you'll need to cleanse the pain off of him so that he doesn't die after a few hits. But that's normal with lots of characters. For the chewie event gear 11 will be than sufficient. You could go lower, but it's just going to make the right RNG that much harder

Greedo has become one of my favorite characters - the rare occurrence when he pulls off four or five basics in a row off a counter attack are pure SWGOH gold. In conjunction with "Many Disintegrations", there's nothing more fun than the Shard Shop Roundup even we just had.
