I have biggs and lando at six star with both almost seven star, I will have ackbar and st han at six stars within the next ten days. The question i have is on a final rebel for the Palpatine event. I am level 61 and will be unable to reach the required level 69 to farm cantina for wedge in a viable timeframe. By the time the event starts ill more then likely just be hitting level 69-70. I can farm him in ships shop, but it is random and not guaranteed and i am trying to keep my top spot there by using my shards on ships. With wedge mostly out of the picture for the next 20 days, bodhi I cannot stand to use, Leia out of the picture due to needing my arena credits to keep leveling ackbar and han, is scarif rebel pathfinder a viable option to get the six star version of Palpatine with a team of lando st han ackbar biggs pathfinder? If I can get them all around level 70 and gear 7/8?

I no pro but id you need 5 5 * to unlock you will be able to unlock him and get him to 6 if u have them all 6* level 70

Is scarif any good for anything else? Because I also could take the focus off of biggs in gw shop and get k2 to six star also in time for the event.More worth it otherwise, k2 or pathfinder?

While Scariff is amazing for the Palpatine event because of his revies, K2 forces Palpatine onto him almost constantly. You cannot go wrong with either, but I would take K2S0 if I were you.

I was also going to start on bistan in cantina shop after i finish boba, I'm only 40 shards away from finishing him, is bistan and pathfinder good with their ship? I have no plans to farm cassian at this point, but if pathfinder and bistan have a good ship, that would make my decision much easier as long as they are both a fairly good choice.

He has high damage. However, do not over look Cassian. I use him with K2S0 and he wrecks house with their synergy. Cassian's buffs and debuffs also shutdown the enemy from the get go.

Bistan's ship is great. Be prepared for a long farm for the ship and for gearing Bistan and Pathfinder (you'll need a lot of carbantis). But because it is hard to get you won't find many players with a good Bistan ship.

SRP works well for me because of his revives and offense up, and of course TM gain when he attacks.
I'm loving Bistan and wish I could get him to 6* for my EP team - will try (4 star currently). If you run him with Ackbar your team gets so many turns to go.

Their ship has nice utility and you don't see it used often - applies target lock and then stealths, next attack gives tenacity down.

I already have Wedge, Biggs, Lando and Ackbar on 6* (won't get them all to 7 in time) so am currently scrambling to get my SRP from 4.5* to 6* since I think a taunting tank works well in that setup under a Wedge lead. I can run Wedge, Biggs, Lando, SRF and Leia almost all the way through my GW because of the self-heal on crits.

SRP will definitely help with Palp. In addition to constant revives, he gives AoE offense down...which I suppose K-2 would do but you have to wait until he counters everyone individually, and no revive.

Bistan's U-Wing is decent...gives target lock while stealthing itself, and I believe there's some tm manipulation going on. It's one of my harder hitting ships, but I don't know how much of that is due to having pathfinder at g10.

The squad I used was Wedge(lead), Biggs, Leia, Scarif and Bistan. But since you won't be able to get Wedge in time I recommend Scarif since he can taunt and revives if he dies while buffed

Thanks everyone, I decided on scarif. Quick farm on cantina, I could use another tank for gw, especially with rebel synergy, and long term goal of bistan with his ship. I really could not see spending any gw shop currency on bodhi or k2, especially when I am fighting to keep number 1 in ships, way to many other valuable things in there I need right now. And cantina wise I set a goal of 15 shards per day till the event, that will make him just over six stars. So I can still, depending on drops, have extra energy left for finishing lando and mod farming.

Thanks!

as long as he has a buff on him he is great. I have had him die 3 times in a single fight and save my team alot. with some decent speed and an omega he will pop up and can start taunting again.

Late to the party, but I have a scarif rebel pathfinder, 6* gear 8, and he is very good on my rebel team. His aoe under Wedge gives him self healing when taunting, guaranteeing (well, mostly) that he has enough health to last a few turns. Plus he revives with great health when your team is all rebels.

I also have his ship with Bistan. Very underrated, imho. Target lock special ability gives you a practically guaranteed taunt with biggs present, and he stealths himself.

This is making me feel really good about this strategy. I have had a hard time getting target lock down so i can get biggs to taunt. Pretty much as long as I can taunt him, I can beat every team that jumps me in my shard. But such as today, I lost my first two battles going for 1 due to not getting a taunt in time. The third time i won, but since then I already got jumped again. So it's a real back and forth snipe fest.

Is there any other good target locking ships available to the early ship gamer that isn't as long of a farm?

Scarif Rebel would be an acceptable substitute for Stormtrooper Han on the Emperor event, but you're saying you want to use both of them on a team without Wedge or Leia.

I think that unless you level/gear your squad up beyond the norm, you might find the event a bit of a struggle just because you won't have nearly as much damage output as the typical Wiggs Lando + tank setup. Or even as much damage as Biggs Lando Leia + tank.

Once you use Ackbar's cleanse to get rid of the Emperor's first flurry of shocks & stuns, it basically turns into a damage race against him. Where he still has spammable debuffs and you have none (and no way to remove his from you, once Ackbar's cleanse goes on cooldown).
