OK, I have been prepping for the upcoming Thrawn event and I'm at a point where I'm unsure if I'll be able to pull off a 7* win. So I'm debating about cutting my loss now and switching back to farming gearing other people. I've calculated it and I know I can get everyone to 7* before the event is done.I will be able to Omega a couple of basic abilities (thinking Zeb and Ezra). The rest of the abilities are a mix. All unique abilities are lvl 5 or higher, still time to improve abilities, but probably not everything to lvl 7.Everyone is gear 8 and I'll be able to gear 9 Chopper and either Ezra or Hera.I'll probably be lvl 79 during the event, maybe 80 near the end. Here's a swgoh.gg link to my team, pay no attention to the mods currently on them I'd switch out my arena mods, but they're not amazing (+60 speed is my highest kit). https://swgoh.gg/u/jayzen/squads/61295/ I'd love some opinions if people think I could push for it and maybe get the win, or if there's no hope and just be happy with a 6*.Thanks

Honestly level doesn't matter that much at that point, unless you had plans to zeta one of them.And besides any other advice, I would say, dont let it be a waste of you have been focused on it, follow through and then even if you miss you will know how close you got, and where you should focus.

Since there is a chance, you can make it, I would go all in.

Looking at your swgoh, I'm going to go ahead and say I think 7* is out of reach. Unless you're sitting on a treasure trove of credits, super mods, and ability materials (including omegas), you're just too far out. You'd need 2.5 mil just to 7* them, and then another 3 mil or so EACH to get them to 80. Then there's the gear issue, the mod issue, and the ability level issue. Keep working, but with a focus on being ready for 6*. He' still going to be awesome at 6*.

7* Thrawn is a necessity in this game if you want to keep advancing. If you have a shot at getting him, then you would be cray cray not to go all in. Either way, Phoenix is a squad that you will be able to run both in HAAT and HSR so they are a long term asset so not a waste by any means to level and gear them.

Should I bother pushing for Thrawn 7*?

I'm still working on my Phoenix as well so I can't say with any authority, but I've heard that LS9 hard nodes are almost impossible to do with Phoenix until you start putting zetas on them. If that's true, that seems like a bit too much of a commitment to a team that doesn't need to be that far developed to get Thrawn. Especially if Thrawn is the main goal for getting Phoenix in the first place.

I'm a little bummed out that I won't have an opportunity to get a 7* Thrawn this time around (I'll be a few days short on Kanan shards), but my advice to the OP would be to keep promoting, gearing, and levelling them to the point where they can get you the 7* Thrawn even if it doesn't happen during this event run. Get the highest Thrawn possible and get them ready to get that last star down the road so that you can move on and stop worrying about them.

7* Phoenix will get you 7* Palpatine, which I'm expecting will come in May. So definitely keep pushing on them. If by chance you get both 7* Thrawn and 7* Palp, you're also already ready to get 7* R2 next time he comes around.
And worst case scenario, you miss 7* Thrawn, but you get 7* Palp, and you're ready for 7* Thrawn next time. No reason not to keep farming.

Yeah, tier 9 light side hard nodes are all about your ally and how often you can get them involved. Phoenix allows Hera and Ezra to request assists, and with a good ally, that’s all it will take

Helpful yes, necessity no. Mine is only 5*.

I did this with the Rey event in December. I got taken by surprise with the Vet Smugglers, wasn't anywhere close to ready. I spent all the time between then and when she re-appeared in March still working on Rey. I had to skip a Thrawn cycle, but I was more than ready for Rey when she came back around.

After that I immediately started working on Thrawn, and I'll be ready for him this time.

Unless you're a whale, you can't pile up legendary characters that quickly... instead of panic farming for the current one, free-farm for the next one.
