I refuse to go another 3 months without thrawn where I will be at a point where I’m reaching epic amounts of galactic power around 2.5 mil and still lack the synergy that thrawn provides to my empire team. With 30 days to go will I make it to 7* without hours of RNG waiting to win or am I doomed to suffer the embarrassment of a lone 6* thrawn that gets picked on in arena. Not ready yet but my plans to get there include throwing whatever omegas I can afford onto my pheonix team after I use 2 on my fleet captain (last 2 needed) but then I need 8 omegas to max out both basic and unique on all toons an epic 10 omegas in 30 days seems not possible and hope not needed. I also plan to lvl all toons up to 85 in next credits heist ( should reach lvl 85 by that time smh) and utilize and credit heist after for mods. I have currently a collection of arena speed mods to cover 2-3 toons. Tenacity mods not upgrade most and have potency mods on farm. Have a potency cross with speed that I can slice up while I farm mod slicing during this event. My next plan of mod farming including maybe health mods with protection stats working for tenacity stats and speed on them too if I get good ones. Am I on the path to success or failure honesty is appreciated bash me for being a horrible player even if rules r violated just need truth the not knowing is killing me lol. Link to account https://swgoh.gg/p/285824638/ also only requesting MK6 hypo syringes each day need 200 at the moment for 100 for fleet 100 for chopper + eraz to g8

You're gonna go from 600k GP to 2.5 million GP in 3 months? Ok...But I'll bite:-Speeds are atrocious. Chopper should be 200+, Ezra and Hera around 170-180, Zeb pushing 150, Kanan doesn't matter. He's a lead balloon. But ideally get him up to say 120-130. Anything more than that is gold.-Gear needs to be minimum G8 with G9 Ezra unless you want to try it for a solid week for RNG or have absolutely ludicrous mods you can put on.-Go with the recommended mod sets in-game, focus on secondary speed and protection. The only character I would mod against the recommends is Zeb. The game says CD, I say go 4 potency, 2 health. Potency on cross. You want him up near 70% so he's stunning key characters that are dazed, staggered or exposed.

Best bet for Ezra is either CD/CC or Offense/CC. He'll be the heavy hitter that does the most damage. +CD triangle whichever modset you choose.@Killerincho, yeah if you're G10/G9 with better speed then you'll be fine, obviously. I onlyrecommended pretty much exactly what I used and I cleared 7*on the first try, and again on the Mythic Tier 1, first try. So it obviously works.Basics:Hera, Ezra, Zeb, Chopper - +speed arrowsKanan - protection arrow with ideally +13-15 secondary speed.Hera, Ezra - +CD trianglesZeb, Kanan, Chopper - +protection trianglesAll 5 - +protection circlesEzra - +offense crossHera, Zeb - +potency crossKanan & Chopper - +protection cross or + tenacity cross.Ideally you want 3 "+protection" mods on Kanan and Chopper as they're your taunting damage sponges for the most part. Can also use +tenacity crosses, or a pair of tenacity mods with +protection cross.

At 700k but not here to talk about meaning less GP just thrawn. I can take him to 80% potency with cross would speed health work have speed set up to take to 80%. And I never look a suggestion cause they tend to be off for arena but all look good except Ezra and zeb but would speed tenacity work on eraz as alternative don’t want him stunned I’ll make him my fastest.

The mod req depends on the gear you have. A good rule of thumb is g7, arena mods, and amazing rng; g8, arena mods and decent rng; or g9 or higher, decent mods, and decent rng. So my advice, farm the best mods you can. You should be doing this anyway. Speed secondaies are the most important. Other stats are ok but if they are fast, you'll do fine. Gear the all to g8 and Ezra as high as you can get. Ezra has late game viability so gearing him isn't a waste. Then when the event comes, try it and if yoy can't beat it with the mods you have on them, switch to your best mods. If you do that, you'll be fine.

I know he isn’t a waste but I don’t sacrifice where I’m at for late game. Have to gear up Zion and nihilus first and soon to be thrawn they r my right now gear focuses can late game transition to eraz when time comes. But sacrifice now for later will have u lossin out on rewards for squad fleet that doesn’t help u now or late game. Have 2 toons 100+speed boost 1 70 1 50 1 65 can boost last 3 arena with more speed mods so I can adjust locations have mods with speed on different sets that can’t be put on but with a few more decent speed ones can apply. Ok good won’t wast credits putting decent ones on just try it with what ever ones I have now spare and go for it.

You can also save the gear needed for ezra just in case for harder pieces. I know that still means you can't put it on sion or nihilas but there's no way around that. And it's only temporary. Once you unlock thrawn, you can put the extra gear where ever else you need it.

And for pieces that aren't horrible to farm, you'll have a week from when the event starts to when it ends to panic farm gear if you don't want to save it.

Mods are key. Like Vendi1983 stated, Zeb needs potency. Ezra and Hera need speed. Also, they should be the highest gear levels.
You don't need to Zeta anyone, but everyone should be level 85 and full Omegas.

Sion, Nihilus don't have ships. Ezra is part of Ghost. Thrawn is Thrawn. Not sure how working on Ezra costs you in fleet. Or squad for that matter, since he's part of just about every Bastzilla/Revan team....

yes u have a good point but I don’t even use my ghost besides ackbar challenges late game I will but can’t go jedi route they r not F2P friendly as all toons r on hard nodes besides Ezra and GK( who I don’t even have yet) I like darkside better as well. I have 2 hard node farms would have 2 and have to wait for gk and weight for they 1.5 credits cost to upgrade yoda to 7*. F2P jedis don’t have advantage against darkside they need revan. And the only jedis in my top 50 r p2p revan or 7* bastila (indications of whale status) guys in my guild been playing for years haven’t farmed to 7* they just hit 85 within a few weeks and have it great drops ? I think not lol
