Obliterated every single Hard node and Cantina battle in the game without even trying.
Can't even get close to finishing this one, let alone 3*'ing it.

7* G11 Lando - G11 ST Han - G10 Wedge and Biggs - G10 Anakin nice mods on all of them.
- Tried Borrowing Ackbar with my Lando lead for maximum Speed to attack first = didn't work they are still faster (Guess Wiggs needs at least +60ish speed from mods to attack first even with that setup)
- Tried Borrowing Teebo to crowd control at least 1 enemy while killing others = got closest to finishing it but still didn't work. (And again cant imagine 3*'ing it like this)
- Tried Borrowing a GK but that was low geared, didn't work at all.
- Should try borrowing a geared Old Ben but got no allies with that so far.

Maybe I was extremely unlucky with RNG on every try (12-14 tries so far), since I haven't seen any single target hits from the enemy so far, everything was AoE. (Do they even single target at all, or is it a Myth?)

From what I understand you either need to go;
- Ima (L) - Aayla - Anakin - Ahsoka - Fisto etc Counter team with borrowing a good GK or Old Ben..
- Be extremely lucky with enemies hitting single target rather than all AoE's with your Rebel Squad
- Or rein supreme with Zeta upgrades, Chaze teams etc..

They probably wanted to protect the whales that spent a lot to get Shoretrooper, by placing it to the unreasonably hardest node in the game - which I can understand - but for Average 1 Card / Day without refreshes, it's a little overkill tbh. (If it was a Cantina node, where It can be farmed infinitely easier, I would understand and respect the decision much more, even if it was harder than this)

Overall you get 1 card with 80 Crystal from Shipments.
And (let's say 33% drop chance for the sake of it, rather than 30%) you get;
1 without refreshing it.
2 with 50 Crystal refresh. (1 Card / 50 Crystals)
3 with 2x 50 Crystal refresh (1 Card / 50 Crystals)
4 with 2x 50 + 100 Crystal refreshes (1 Card / 66.7 Crystals)
5 with 2x 50 + 2x 100 Refreshes (1 Card / 75 Crystals)

Which are all better returns than the Shipment purchase, but if the team that can beat this Node is away from your reach, and you are not planning to gear those characters, and have more important stuff to do first, it's not that significant to work on this Node.

Than again, as you said, people that can "easily obliterate" this node probably doesn't have much need for the Shoretrooper cards to start with, even though it's an assumption, it's a fairly strong one.
