Military Might

I have to say, it's a little confusing how i'm intended to beat 8 waves of level 78's in a row with the provided units. It seems rather difficult with the restricted characters excluding the strong healers, even with wedge who has a leader ability that allows for some healing it seems doubtful you can go very far.

Would love to know what the intended tactic here is, or if i'm missing something.

I think it's funny how 2 of the top clones are pay to get and rebels aren't that high of a priority to get/want. Here's the logic they use:

You get a ton in rewards yet you need to use a ton of resources just to complete this event.

Maybe if they had better "drop rates" on gear and shards it might be worth it.

I can't afford to put children of EA's employees through college. I have two kids a spouse and one income.
Yet, I found value in GoH to support the development of the game by contributing respectable amount of funds. $300 is respectable, considering xbox1 and PS4 cost this much, and yet I have invested hundreds into an APPLICATION. There have been some hiccups in the past that made me question my investment, but EA seemed to have adjusted things according. But alas, the catering to the 1% has outweighed the majority, thus inevitable shorting the shelf life of this app.
It's only a matter of time before something new and fresh comes around and GoH will leave a bitter taste is the mouths of those that have invested. The cash cow will die and they'll have to reinvent a SW game that's VR. And so, I cut my funding for the next best thing.

Yeah, I got an empire build. And it's coming along nicely.
Never was there a need for a rebel build till now, and it's lv78 roughly required. Rubbish... but done whining about it. Cut my funding till there's something for me to invest in. Might pre-order COD infinite so I can play remastered MW1

Even if you have a good rebel build... the rewards are useless... when it says you get 11 purple shards... I hardly got 1or2...

I'm level 80 but never prioritised Rebels or clones as they are not my favourites or fit in much to my teams, I only have 3 heros that are good enough to contend and can't get past level 4, so there's a week long even that I, and many others can't even participate in, at least make it so the heros change each day to gives other's a chance.

What a crap event

As disappointing as this event was for me, it is tailored to (essentially) to lv80 players. Those that have spent a good sum of money or was lucky to pursue rebel builds... since this event went live, I have been working on my rebels and knew I will not be able to play... but I am hoping next time the requirements will be the same so I can play.

im lvl 78 and i have 5 rebelles 7 stars and 5 and rex 7 stars and i still cant complete this event ...
