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

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+2
2. Boba Fett at g12+3
3. Dengar at g11+4
4. Cad Bane at g11+2

For 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?

    Yeah, it really seems like these BHs are some of the most brutal gears in the game.
  • Ok, so assuming I'm gonna try to make my G12 Bossk Lead (z), G12 Boba, G11 Greedo, G11 Zam and G11 IG88, how best to mod them?
    I have Cad Bane at G9 I think, so might swap him for 88 if the above doesn't pencil out, but I think I should be able to make that squad work to get Chewie at 7*.

    I hope I'm wrong for your sake but I've heard that Dengar is mandatory for this event unless you have Jango lead or ridiculously high speed mods. Something about him countering R2's stealth, if I understood correctly.


    Dengar’s stealth prevents R2’s smokescreen which otherwise makes it impossibly hard. However RNG means that occasionally R2 doesn’t and so that means it is possible without Dengar. If Greedo has ridiculous crit chance - mine was over 90% - and Boba is the lead, that means he will always crit on his basic and have 50% bonus turn chance. Having him hit Chewie multiple times after R2 doesn’t smokescreen is pushing probabilities again but not too much and 7* can be done. Also with Boba lead you can make the team very beefy by going all out on potency.
  • It's confirmed, Chewy for Christmas! So I have about 3 weeks to get 200 stun cuff salvage and 50 stun gun salvage to G11 Greedo. I have 42/200 so far and I just got something else with the stun gun I was building.
  • I pushed Greedo to G12 as well as Dengar. Boba already was, and now I have Bossk G12 too. Cad is my redheaded stepchild at g10. I think 7* is mine. Did not have Bossk first time around, and got Chewy to 6*. Boba lead with everyone sporting potency is how I modded. I find these guys do real well in tier 6 STR so I feel good about the gear.
  • DarthBrewer, are you planning to do Boba lead again this time? Or switch to Bossk? If switching to Bossk, ideas on modding the others?
  • So... the event was cake. So much easier than I thought it would be, since I have a real BH team now. Beat tiers 5, 6, and 7 first try. Didn't swap any mods, so they were my BH's permanent mods (decent, but 3rd rate). zBossk lead g12+3, Boba g12+3, Dengar g11, Cad Bane g11, Greedo g11.
