The absolute lowest gear for chewbacca Tier 7 (includes strat)

I see quite a few posts mentioning that 88 is expendable. For me, he was the last man standing. If you can get 88 to survive after Han and Chewie are dead, you can use his AOE to spread Target Lock. When 88 attacks TL'd toons, he has extra damage towards them. Another advantage is that he has 50% evasion against them as well. It got to the point where 88 took out Leia, Lando, and R2 by himself, all thanks to the TL advantages. 88 was my ace in the hole, he could be yours too.
