The thread title and its content are somewhat at odds with each other.I don't have a 7 star Thrawn, but I believe I remember seeing that t8 was sufficient.

I highly doubt that thrawn will return this month. R2 broke patterns and was brought back just for the CLS event. Thrawn is needed for any "big" event (like this CLS thing) sooooo don't count on his return right now. But if all of your toons are 7* then you shouldnt worry too much! That's the hardest part...grinding that gear to jump from G8 to G9 should be your only focus now for this team, I would just stockpile said gear until we get an official word on his return.

Yoda came back in 3, palps and R2 in 4. Thrawn will be back in Sept/Oct (about 4 months) and CLS will be our Christmas event assuming it follows the legendary cadence.

My speculation? Yes. He will return. Be ready.I'm still trying to 7* Hera, so I hope it's later rather than sooner.

Ezra 72/100 (28 to go) Chopper 230/65 (20 to go) Sabine 167/85 (18 to go).The rest 7*. Bring on the Thrawn.

Hera is essential because leadership skill, Kanan is essential because the 70% counter chance and that skill need omega, Sabine give critical chance and critical damage bonus and omega help, Ezra give extra damage per turn and omega is not essential, same for Zeb or Chooper, but higher skills make easier the fight. When i did my Sabine and Ezra was XI, but the others VIII or IX, Sabine full omegas and Kanan unique skill with omega. First try i lost because had focus trying to kill Thraw first, second try was easy killing Deathtroopers first

Good to know. Thanks! She's my last one left to finish starring. Gear is still a bit meh on all, and I have no idea how to mod them aside from the obligatory "speed".

13 shards from 7* Sabine. Last one to *.

Hera G9, Sabine G7, the rest G8.

Might take a few goes but I'll get him.

I'd say just bump Ezra to g10 instead..
You'll be fine either way. Level them all the way up and put some mods on. You'll be g2g
Oh also helps if you omega the uniques

You can with equipments VIII and good mods, Sabine and Ezra are the most important for damage, so higher become easier. Just need focus to kill the Deathtroopers first, let Thraw to last. Hera, Kanan, Sabine are essential, Ezra for more firepower, so you choose or Zeb or Chooper to the team, i preffer Zeb but had players that did with Chooper

Funny. All the other strats I read said it is much easier with Chopper than Sabine. Using him instead makes it doable at lower gear levels than with Sabine.

I guess some people get too fixated on damage over survivability though.

Many players did use Chopper instead of Sabine, mostly because she's quite a pain to farm i guess. Sabine isn't mandatory at all, Ezra is (and he's way easier to farm too). Sabine's unique won't help you that much cause every other Phoenix deal really low damages, even with more critical.

One only needs a well modded/geared Ezra. Plus Chopper brings a lot of survivability to the team.
