TB battles: HRSoldier and HRScout [merged]
Where has it been confirmed that we need them? What for and how many *'s. I mean having HRSoldier on a hard node is irritating especially since he's not that great so bit worried.

@Fanatic Awesome job with that synopsis of the datamine!
@leef I hope you're right about HRSoldier being in the TB store.
One thing that really bothers me about TB is the way it undermines some of what I've tried to do as a guild leader.
As a guild leader, I really want to help my team earn the most rewards, and see each of them build their rosters to do the best in PvP and the raids. With my own inventory, a dolphin's collection, I try to lead by example, level only the toons that are "worth it" and focus in on raid squads and my own arena squad. When they throw a curveball at us, like Thrawn and CLS, I try to prepare my guild as best as I can, and it is manageable/doable, even if we end up with a bunch of toons we may not have wanted. When they say, farm the hardest toon to level, you know, the one no one wants - that is a different story.
It was hard to with Phoenix because of such a short notice, but I used a google spreadsheet to help my guys track their progress and show them where to focus all of their energy. I only got a 5* Thrawn because I was on vacation the week of the event and didn't have the time to let my 7* Phoenix auto 50 times on the off-chance they beat the 6* level. But a lot of my guild unlocked him. Some even 7*.
For the CLS event, I directed my guild to focus on Old Ben and Farmboy. Much easier than Phoenix because we had two month to prepare. Because of that, 20 of my guild were able to unlock him.
For the HAAT, which we finally were able to defeat about two months ago, I coached them on the right squads, and showed by example how effective they could be. Everyone contributed int heir own way. If they liked Jedi, they made the best possible Jedi squad, and so on. We talked strategy, linked vids, took screenshots. Tried and tried again until we beat it.
TB undermines that. There is no way for me to help get my guild to the top level of play without simply saying, "Every day, farm this one terrible toon that nobody ever wanted, and in half a year you can help in the 7* battle."
That's a bit crazy.
I understand events hide characters behind walls, and make completion of raids difficult until you get certain squads, but this is different because of the way it so obviously is a ploy to make money. I'm going to farm him, and tell my guys to farm him. There's no use in crying about it.
I believe that TB is going to be a great addition, and my guild will have to strategize, and communicate, and that will all be rewarding. We will get to use our Phoenix squads and our Rogue One squads, and that looks like more fun than farming HRbros. Honestly, if you take away the Soldier requirement, I'd be nothing but excited for this event. But it's hard to get that taste out of my mouth.
