TB battles: HRSoldier and HRScout [merged]

It was never directly confirmed, but people are saying we need those two because:
1) some beta testers said, that we need them
2) this first territory battle is on hoth, so it is logic that we could need them
3) the expensive pack in the store for 2800 crystals includes HRScout or HRSoldier to 5 other rebel shards.
It is very obvious that we will need them.

Yep. its confirmed.
Each phase will require them at some star level and gear level.

It was also in the data mine from yesterday's update that they are both needed for various missions at 3, 5, or 7 stars.

No, seriously. Thank you, Devs. With this Mega Rebel pack you all but spelled it out for us AHEAD of the actual event. I mean, i know some of us sorta assumed they MIGHT be needed, but this was a good way to get a message across. Unlike some previous surprises that left ppl upset, at least this time for the people that are attentive and can read between the lines, we have a chance at getting more prepared.
So yeah, kudos.

ya you can start farming the scout and have him ready... As for the soldier.... Even at 5 Hard Battles Sims a day it will take a while.

You could check shipments if you can grab him in shipments for 50crystals/shard.

I wonder if it would be more efficient to refresh his hard node.

Amen brother, this was perfect from them

For some reason my hoth soldier is way more advanced than my scout

Good thing I started farming them ever since the first screen shots for TB were leaked, a couple of months ago. That took Scout to 7*.
After all the farming, though, Soldier is still at 4*. Kitten.

Hoth rebel soldier needs love. Ds hard 3-B only isnt enough.
Cantina, GW or Fleet shipments having soldier would be a nice gesture... Even if its after TB release date

That's right, they told us now, and in a mere 30 weeks you'll be ready for TB!
