Is it me or this challenge impossible?? Is there any strategy to this challenge?I have 8 5* ships. 6 of which are pretty strong and can't get anywhere in this challenge...So freaking aggravated

Took me 50+ try. All ships level 70-75 at least. Take out order: JC, Snips, Rex then all the CSs.Whenever they reinforce take out any new JCs. EVENTUALLY it should work

For the Endurance one you just need many tries and a lot of luck with the enemy not applying target lock, no multi-attacks from the FOTP ships and no dodges from the TFP ones. At least those ships go down fast.

Yeah. My main issue is that target lock doesn't seem to work. I have 3 target lockers (Cassian, Biggs, Phantom) and when I use the TL skills I see resists left and right. As a result, Biggs either never taunts or he taunts once and he never gets any protection regen (in, oh I don't know, 5000 tries or so? :blush:). Also I got Rex, but they all get valor after like 1 turn, so he doesn't have any TL skills pretty much...I know my team ain't great (maybe I'll have JC as 7th by Monday), but here it is:Home One 85 5* (G10 7*)Biggs 85 7* (G11 7*)Wedge 85 7* (G10 7*)Rex 85 5* (G12 7*)Ghost 85 6* (G8 7* all)Phantom II 85 6* (G8 7* all, except Sabine @ G7)Cassian 85 6* (G8 7* all)All characters lvl 85. I got 5 dot 15 lvl mods on all of them (maybe I miss one or two on chop and zeb). Also, AA, Wiggs and Rex have all skills maxed (with omegas). Rest (except K2 and jyn's aoe) have all skills at least at 7, with quite a few omegas among them. All ships skills (except HO's) maxed.Enemies got extreme tenacity and dodge apparently (confirmation bias, I know). Well, I never got ships anyway.

Finally got it this morning with:Biggs and wedge, g11 7*, 7* shipsPhoenix, all g10 7*, 5* shipsRogues, all g9 7*, 7* shipFives, g9 7*, 5* shipJC, g9 7*, 5* shipClone SGT, g9 7*, 5* shipAckbar, g10 7*, 5* shipRan biggs, wedge, phantom, ghost, and cassians u wing with jc, umbaran, and arc 170 in reserve.It took 24 attempts and I only succeeded because rng took over and I finally landed some target locks. Between the target locks and assists from jc, cassian, ghost, and ackbar I could finally keep biggs alive with taunt up and that's what won it. I targeted ashoka first so she couldn't dispel then focused jc, rex, jc again, then the arcs.

Just unlocked it last night...and got Wrecked....same thing with endurance 6*....I manage to get 1 ship down before they destroy me....like always with ships mine don't seem capable of scoring a crit while the AI pretty much doesn't have an attack which isn't a crit....throw in there the protection restore of JC, Rex and Clone Sargent...and you're done before you even start...

I was able to do it easily with five 7* and two 6*. My four 7* ships were over level 75.

It's not impossible but it's very hard and took me many tries.
I don't think I've upgraded the team I used since I completed it, which is thus:

Biggs Character Level 85, Ship Level 85
Asoka Character Level 81, Ship Level 80
Fives Character Level 84, Ship Level 78
Bistan Character Level 84, Ship Level 71
Jedi Consular Character Level 68, Ship Level 80

All at 6* except Bistan at 5*

Reinforcement:

Wedge Character Level 85, Ship Level 79
Clone Trooper Character Level 61, Ship Level 70 (he was just fodder really, took a couple of hits for me)

Capital:
Ackbar Character Level 84, Ship Level 82

I had originally thought I mightn't complete this until all their ship levels were all either 82+, or, I'd unlocked Rex's ship to 5*, but I just about managed it in the end with this squad.

Focused on trying to keep Biggs taunting and alive.

Fives always attacked first so I fired his special at Asoka to give Biggs the taunt.
Killed her then went after the Consular, using Bistan's special to refresh Biggs.
Preyed the reinforcement was another Consular (which would normally arrive mid-way through killing the first).
My Consular helped top up Biggs protection using both of its specials, and I used Ackbar's specials for this purpose too.

If Biggs died before 2 of the opponents died, the run was a write-off. The 1 attempt in 100 where I killed 3 of them before he died, I started to sense I could win it and thankfully did!

I don't remember what combination I used for ships but I just kept tweaking the lineup until I got it done. What I can offer is a few tips:

If you have Rex (I didn't) it will be a big help as he and JC can keep protection up on Biggs for a few turns as well as his ability to add TL (to keep taunt on Biggs).

Taking out Ahsoka quick is key to a good start. For most attempts I went after JC next but I had more success taking out Rex second.

If you're using Fives, I made sure to have him attack whatever ship has the most TM. That way the TM gain for enemy ships was minimal (i.e the target ship was about to have it's turn anyway rather than giving a TM boost to a ship that just attacked).

If you have the Phoenix ships try to get stealth on your Ahsoka or JC as it's critical to keep them alive as long as possible. If the RNG gods are smiling on you Phantom will manage to grant Critical Chance up on its Maximum Impact skill (I only had it 40% chance but it maxes at 70%) - Combine this with Home One's Master Plan and you should be able to take down a ship or two quickly.

If it's any consolation, the 7* challenge (or rather "10 Shards Challenge") didn't seem as hard. I only took two attempts to get it by sticking to basic attacks until the final round. Again, Rex will be a big help there (still didn't have him) with his ability to give protection to other ships.

My total up is 1.7 million, I've been attempting this challenge wit a team power of 287k, I uhh ave a full team of 8, every pilot is at least 85 gear 8, most are gear 10 or 11 including a maxed out Akbar Capital ship, and I can't finish this bullshit challenge and am so frustrated that I am going to leave a top 25 guild and even after spending over $1100 on this game I'm ready to quit. EA, if you read this, way to completely alienate a committed and loyal player, and ambassador of the game..

Without Fives and Rex, I'm not sure how this challenge is possible. I've been trying with 7 7* lvl 85s forever.

I don't have either ship unlocked. I did it a long time ago with Biggs Wedge JC Ahsoka Poe ResXwing Clone Sgt. Was difficult but just retreated any time I lost a ship in the first volley, and every time the enemy reinforced. The first time they didn't reinforce I was able to beat it.

It was a thread worthy of necromancy, as this challenge is still total horsepoop.
