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

Edit: This strategy requires GOD MODS. Squad power is sitting at 79k. Boba has TWO 6-E mods.

Hey all. I’m the same guy who posted a guide to the “last resort for thrawn event 7*” and that was also a very minimum g7/8 to 7* thrawn which took over 200 tries. This time, we step it up.

Note: This took over 500 tries. I am not even joking.

I just want you all to know, DO NOT GIVE UP. You can do it.

My squad: G12 boba(L), G11 ig88, G9 dengar, G8 greedo, g8 cad bane. I want to list speed only like I did in the thrawn guide, but i think the whole mod set is important this time compared to thrawn event, so I’ll post screenshots or link to my swgoh gg if needed so you can check my mods.

First off, some tips for the event: (some you might know, just wanna give a headsup)

1. Chewie has some sort of unique from Hoth Leia that gives him 30% tm everytime he’s hit. Use that to speed up the detonators, so it gives tm under boba lead

2. Dengar only call assist on basic if target enemy has debuff.

3. Leia doesn’t always use aoe on first turn, and r2 doesn’t always smoke screen/ burn.

4. Counter chance on Han is not 100%. Might be a reskin of Raid Han which means he has 50%.

5. Greedo detonators, unlike dengar, blow up after ONE turn, which gives tm to whole team.

6. Use cad bane stun on r2 even if he has foresight. It is unavoidable. Use greedo special tm removal on han. He can’t be stunned.

I know there are alot of posts around that pretty much says the same thing, but I want to show the absolute minimum. No zetas on any characters, some dont even have their omegas. This squad has an even lower squad power than Ahnaldt101’s squad on youtube, which has nearly 10k more than mine.

Strategy: Boy I have seen it all. I can even recite how many “R” and “A” in chewies rawr, and how han keep saying “Chewie, over there!”

Here’s the Strategy:

1. First, the enemy will take a crazy amount of turn. Make sure Dengar is critcally hit and goes into stealth, while r2 wastes his smoke screen. Boba CANNOT be ability blocked, Greedo CANNOT die or be ability blocked, Cad bane CANNOT die or be ability blocked, IG88 CAN DIE, boba CAN DIE ONCE.

2. Execute on Chewie. LAND healing immunity. Greedo uses TM REMOVAL special on HAN. Cad Bane STUNS R2 EVEN WITH FORESIGHT (check Tip 6)

3. IG88/ Cad bane CAN DIE. Greedo MUST LIVE until he land detonators. You need AT LEAST 2 on ALL ENEMIES, with ONE MUST BE ON CHEWBACCA.

4. Dengar calls BOBA to assist on Chewbacca (detonator acts as debuff, only 60% chance to assist still)

5. Chewbacca MUST DIE to BOBA, with Boba regaining hunter’s resolve

6. Pray to god han doesn’t stun lock you. My dengar died right here with leia, han, lando and r2 all alive with protection. Probably because his health is too low and died to the burning or aoe. If possible keep him alive, but if only Boba remains, KEEP GOING.

7. Boba basic/ execute on HAN, HAN MUST DIE/ DIE TO DOTs with NO COUNTER (50% chance) triggers CONTRACT.

8. Focus all firepower on HOTH leia since her aoe lands ability block. All the while r2 can burn, can smoke screen (use aoe to kill leia), can basic(most dangerous since he can stun lock you) PRAY to god leia dies and you keep hunter’s resolve.

9. KILL LANDO.

10. 1 V 1 r2. He is all that stands between you and chewbacca. VERY IMPORTANT: r2 will use smoke screen to gain foresight. SAVE your execute to get pass the foresight. USE BASIC to attack and land DOTs DO NOT USE ABILITY BLOCK. It will force him to use basic which means higher chance to get stun locked. Also the damage is too low on the aoe.

11. Mental breakdown as you try again.

    I’m not gonna get 7* chewie. I’ve found that ahnald’s no zeta and no bossk is ****! I have higher potency than his and a zeta boba. Either there’s more to that ig-88 zeta he says doesn’t matter or he’s playing with higher stats than he showed! I’ve been lucky a couple times in 3 days and actually killed one opposing toon. See ya in 6 months OT chewie! Good luck everyone else!


    This. I love Ahnald but **** him for that video. It made me think I could do it all week with my better BHs than his. Hour & 40 minutes my ****, I tried ALL WEEK. Made me actually think he was lying in the video in some sort of Gamechanger/CG conspiracy thing.

    I may need to put this game down for a while. Or forever.



    The closest I got was thanks to the original poster! I dumped ahnalds bs and got so close. His speed was too much for me to match and he didnt use a zeta I believe. I still don’t understand why my zeta boba wasn’t able to match his victory but his detailed step by step approach was very helpful. Thank you so much OP! Ahnald can shove it! Not accurate at all! Don’t think it’s a camechanger conspiracy but I think his video was of a t6 completion and not a t7. The bonus hits did not match my experience and I tried more than a thousand times!

    And another thing! The mandatory cutscene was longer than every battle I had! Pretty pathetic EA/CG! Let us skip the cutscenes so we have more time to try and defeat it! Could have had so many more RNG attempts if you hadn’t gone this route that disrespects the time of your consumers. Pretty big mistake that you should have known would be a problem. I just can’t fathom what goes through your heads when releasing new material.
  • Wait a minute. Anhalt video is super fun. Kudos to him. Well this event is really hard however it lies down the level of difficulty we should expect for any future legendary so let’s start gearing the toons for the next one.

    Good luck all

    With the teams that people are showing as "here's what I got it with" it merely shows that this was all about getting the perfect RNG to finish this event. Nothing more. I had the same gear level and toons as APlus and I can't even count the amount of times I retreat and restarted and/or failed because my Boba with 50% crit chance was only doing a crit 1 in 10 attempts, or my Greedo (the few times he lived) only shot once, even "if" he got a crit the first time. Twice in all my attempts my Greedo shot more than once. I pushed my Boba to gear 12, put all the left side gear on him, and he still hit like rubbish (216% CD). (In fact, he was hitting 40K with execute on TWO buffs but only 52K on FOUR buffs, explain that one math wizards.)

    Ahnald's video was fun to see. But, it merely showed that RNG is the only reason some people got 7* chewie. Good for them for having that luck though. Maybe next time I'll get that lucky, or by then I'll have 7* Bossk or 7* Jango so I can just put it on auto and wait. (That is IF they take the stupid cut scene out the next time) Though I figure they'll put Jango on a 20-energy node in fleet, or in dark side. lol

    All the same, thanks for your input on this one APlus, it was awesome of you to do this and explain the requirements. You rock dude!
  • Hey all thanks for all the support and I am really glad for all those who got chewie one way or the other. I’ve been a little busy and am unable to reply to everyone’s inquiry on how to improve their teams, but here’s a few on the list to check:

    1. Make sure to get BOBA GREEDO DENGAR speed up, with boba and greedo at least 230. Boba needs to be fast to survive near the endgame and greedo needs to be fast to remove that tm from han, otherwise the second mass assist will definitely ruin the run.

    2. zbossk users: don’t stack potency mods! The only reason you are stacking potency is because of boba’s lead. With bossk you definitely want defense/health sets with PROTECTION > health mods. That is because you only gain that defense bonus when you have max. Health, and you want to prolong that period as long as possible by stacking protection.

    3. Whether it is possible without dengar/boba/any particular person: Honestly, I want to say yes it is possible but even with this strategy there are already so much RNG involved that this is barely called a strategy rather than a RNG roulette. Without dengar/ boba you are losing out on alot of damage and cant get past that smoke screen from r2 which is losing out on ALOT of damage and taking ALOT longer to burn through r2 and get to chewie which renders our run at this gear level impossible. So I am more inclined to say that at least DENGAR BOBA AND GREEDO is a must. Think of it this way: can thrawn event be won using phoenix without hera lead? Sure it’s possible but it’s not smart and very difficult. You always have that 0.0001% that every enemy misses all their attack right? Haha.
