Thrawn Event 7* too hard - impossible to clear with reasonable gear and mods!!

You have a week to improve your team.
Aim for gear 9-10 for everyone and most abilities at least level 7.

and speed over 80 in each toon. and pray for RNGesus
pretty much everyone ive spoken to has had to do at least 5 tries even with the requirements that REM put.
i can post screenshots of rosters if needed

he shouldnt be easy thats the point of it.

took me all day.. left off Zeb
use chopper to remove the taunt, use sabine's demolish to remove the 100% crit buff on the DT. Then kill them first, be sure to use Hera's basic to land an expose on the healthiest enemy ..Save GAT for last

Having the same issue. I have good mods on the team but not my best and none are over g8. Working hard to get their gear up before end of event. One character is doable but 5 is going to be tough

I had to take all my 7* Phoenix to g9+ with full abilities (minus omega except Hera). I can't tell you how many times I tried and failed with gear 7-8.

This event is supposed to be very hard, and would not want it any other way. You will need to invest in your Phoenix more, learn how to play them and maybe have RNG on your side after multiple tries.

Just because you have Phoenix at 7* does not mean you automatically get 7* Thrawn.

This reminds me of the first 7* Yoda event in the past before it was nerfed. Enough people whined about that and it was made easier.

I very much hope that is not going to happen again.

Agreed. I hate the fact that I have to gear and mod Phoenix but I did the minimum to get a five star Thrawn. But this should absolutely be a grind for seven stars. Yoda got nerfed into the ground because people complained it was too hard. Some things in life take work and an investment of resources to obtain. Stop asking for a hand out and go put in work and get it.

I'll have to wait for six months most likely to get Thrawn to seven stars. I'm fine with that. I didn't put the resources or time into Phoenix to get there this time. My choice, my loss and I'm good with that.

I put no work into my Phoenix squad. I looked at the requirements to do that and said "nope!" Now, this is a Legendary event. I expect that to be difficult and require real strategy play, definitely not something to auto through. I hope the event stays difficult, especially if Thrawn's defense AI gets fixed.

I honestly don't see anything wrong with them making an event difficult. I'll likely not get 7* this time, but I will for sure next time.

It's just a matter of gear and mods. My Phoenix are all Gear 11, decent mods, cleared it on the first try. If your Zeb has enough potency, you can Stun your targets by having Hera and Ezra use their specials to hit with Zeb's basic as much as possible. Take out the Deathtroopers first, the other adds, then finally Thrawn.
Of course, a lot of people are going to say it's a waste to gear them up, but I'm hoping the Phoenix Squad will get some Zetas or improvements in the future. Getting Thrawn easily is just icing on the cake for me.
