I die quickly 7*

This is about R2 event? Maybe you try one of the others as lead, Tarkin for speed or Vader for Damage.

I got destroyed too for 4 straight attempts, then on the 5th i got through it. Just keep at it. Palp was my lead, his let hate flow special used early was key

I was getting decimated. Took maybe a dozen attempts and some rejigging of my mods.
Team-
EP (l) g10
Vader g9
RG g9
Tarkin g8
Magma g8
Most abilities max, cept tarkin, all 85...
Just keep it up and RNG will win it!!! My team felt way too slow but still managed it...

I'm still getting wiped out. Sometimes I take out 1 of their toons, but never more. Is it just mods thing?
EP (l) g8
Vader g9
Tarkin G8
GV g10
RG g8

I concentrated my speedmods on EP (l), that was the key for me.

if you can mod EP, Vader & Tarkin for Speed. It makes the difference

I coudln't make a dent with g10 zader, g10 ep, Thrawn, RG, and Tarkin. Then I put my best 4 and 5 dot health mods on all but zader and crushed it no problem. I just hate shuffling mods. I wish you could save a set of mods. Like I took off my chopper mods and put them on EP so if it was a set saved "chopper" and you could move them all at once back and forth that would make it so much easier.

The RNG is crazy on the last tier. There is a lot of luck involved with the roll you get. If you have a bad start, retreat and try to get a better roll. Took me at least 20 attempts and many times would just retreat after watching R2 take 6 turns before I took one. Can be very frustrating but keep trying :) you'll get him eventually.

So should I ditch all other mods in favor of speed? Right now, their entire team takes a turn, R2 and Leia each take 2, my RG is already dead, and THEN I get my first shot. Oh, and on that first shot my EP doesn't land a single debuff :(

Speed matters but you also want potency to land to help with stuns, offense down, shock, etc.
