So I'm trying to get BB-8 6-star and I look at the battle and it says, "recommended level: 70+"That means, my 6 and 7 star G8 70-72 level FO team should be able to complete it. I've tried it about 12 times so far and keep getting wiped fairly easily. How is that "recommended"?Especially when BB-8 does his 70 cooldown power before anyone does anything on either team. (Yeah, really fair there guys. :P) And then does his Covert Data 5 or 6 times, then two or three of my team are wiped before I even get a move. So I'm left with two, who might get 2-3 turns in before they're killed EASILY.If you want us to use level 85 freakin' characters on the mission, then just SAY "recommended: level 85" Things like that are very discouraging. But I was really upset by this issue tonight so I figured I'd vent a bit about it.

I don’t have any problem meeting the requirement and have finished most of the major events to their zenith (darn you, CLS), but I agree with the OP. The recommended level is often too low to complete the events/challenges. A reassessment of the recommended levels and a gear level recommendation for each tier would go a long way towards easing this sort of frustration.

U know 70+ can mean anywhere from 70 to the max level 85. Just saying

gear level is just as and/or more important than character level.gear them up if you can.

Mods are essential. They made the difference for me having the same exact problem, to clearing it 2 tries after switching my best mods from my arena team. I should also point out, I prioritized all purple and omega Ability mats to my FO team over the last week. No zetas though

Got them at Gear 8. Still get spanked. (Solid 5-dot mods on all of them, even with recommended types for each)

Gear 8 isn't that good, especially if you're trying for 6* bb8

Gear 8 is useless. Get Kylo to GX-XI, level 80-85 omega'd (no zeta needed) and he'll probably carry the rest of the sorry level 70, G8 squad and present you your pair of BB8s.

Good luck.

Yep, That's part of my point. If it REQUIRES G10/11 and a freakin' omega'd or zeta'd character at level 80-85, then SAY THAT, CG. Telling me 70+ is just bogus.
