Scarif rebel pathfinder?

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?

    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?


    K2 is really great as a second taunter to Baze for a full R1 team, and he benefits from Cassian's groundwork, For a new player, Daze on biggs plus buff immunity nullifies him.

    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).


    It just kind of ended up being that. I wasn't expecting the emperors event to begin directly after the yoda event. Han is my arena tank so obviously I wanted to prioritise him at least until i could farm wedge.

    It's just how it came to be in a short time period since I joined the game. Pathfinder seems to be the best choice I have for a six star emperor at this point. Directing my farming elsewhere would set other rebels back. If all else fails, rng will at some point be my friend in that battle. :)

    Not that it will help too much supposedly, but i will have lando and biggs at seven stars for the battle.

    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?


    You can't go wrong with the tie fighters. I use both in my starting lineup. At least 4 of my five battles, one ore both land a target lock on the first attack. Available in GW store and shipments. Can't get easier/quicker than that. FOTP himself, on the other hand.....I'm about 100 days into the game and have farmed his hard nodes every day. I'm 52/65. I might have him finished by Christmas.
