Seriously this is nuts... Trying to see if there are others as frustrated as me. I am number one daily in my shard. I have 3 seven star ships and multiple 6 stars. And I still can't get close to 6 staring my home ship...

Yup

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.

moved to correct sub forum.

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.

still tough

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.

JEDIT: necro'd

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

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.

Pray to RNGzus. I’m glad I’m not the only one having trouble with this. I have heard stories of people beating it with 150k power. I’m rocking 265k and usually lose a ship before my first turn. This particular event seems even more luck based than a lot of swgoh content.
