Thrawn event help

You need to open by dispeling the taunt with Ezra (or Chopper). Then Zeb and Sabine need to get stagger onto the Death Troopers so their special buff goes away, otherwise they'll tear you apart. From there, kill the Death Troopers, then the Commanders, then the Stormtrooper, then finally Thrawn.

Ezra and Sabine's job is doing damage to whatever you're trying to kill - but the others' job is making sure the team survives. Hera and Zeb should work together to stun Thrawn whenever Hera's not putting Backup Plan on someone (remember Zeb can stun off of Expose if Hera lands it, so they can do this even when she doesn't have her assist call handy), as he's the biggest threat but can't be killed quickly, so controlling him makes a big difference. Kanan should taunt ASAP, remember to use Kanan and Zeb's protection up when someone needs a little durability boost. Above all, Zeb needs to live. If he dies, you lose a big chunk of protection on everyone from his unique, and you no longer get his protection regen. You won't last long without that.

Speaking of, if you haven't yet, omegaing Kanan and Zeb's uniques helps a lot. Kanan's means more counter attacks and more healing when you're hit with debuffs, and Zeb's is a significant durability boost.

I used Ezra at G11 and the rest at G8 with some mods.

I used the team without Chopper.

It took a lot of tries, like 3 hours straight, I ran Hera (g8) Zeb (g8) Ezra (g9) Chopper (g9) and Kanaan (g8) and beat tier 7 with 2 stars. Mods could have been better, but it seemed like I either got destroyed or sailed pretty smoothly. It's totally luck or RNG as they say.

Beat with all g8, using the guide here: https://forums.galaxy-of-heroes.starwars.ea.com/discussion/137598/beat-7-thrawn-with-this-g8-team All credit to the writer of this great guide. My characters and mods. https://swgoh.gg/u/theopatino/

You guys beating him with G8 Phoenix chars gives me hope. Only problem is my guys are level 78-80, and I'm worried that those extra 5 to 7 levels might make a big difference.

I just did it with level 80's and chopper at level 68! all gear 8. the key is running zeb fast with high potency. I do have decent mods to be fair.

zeb is entirely the key to this whole thing, aside from ezra's dps. here's a short guide with some specifics rather than everyone saying 'it can be done at gear 8':

1. you need chopper's TM at 80%+ going into P4.
2. you need both DT's to use their special first (rng)
3. dispel taunter with chopper
4. taunt immediately with kannen
5. stagger ONE of the DT's with Zeb
6. use a hera/ezra assist with zeb to stun and reduce that DT's TM to zero
7. then immediately go to work on the DT that still has the buff, kill him asap
8. whilst doing this, ensure hera and ezra are calling zeb at every opportunity on this DT, ensuring he's constantly stunned
9. kill the other DT
10. make sure you keep thrawn stunned with zeb basic and hera/ezra calling assists for the rest of the battle
11. kill taunter
12. kill healers
13. kill thrawn

other notes:

- keep ezra's dispel in the bank as long as the taunter is alive. don't be lured into using it to gain TM until after the taunter is dead, even then only use it when thrawn is stunned
- you will need to alternate taunt between kannen and chopper as often as possible
- for kannen's next turn after taunt, if ezra is debuffed, cleanse him so that he gets his 80% counter chance back
- don't automatically put back up plan on the taunter, it's better to see how it develops i.e. they may get fractured and taunt remove shortly after and you've wasted back up plan. with enough attempts you'll learn when you need to use it.

good luck!

It's impossible you need more then g8 toons now. Anyone who says else wise has them zetad or god modded. They also reworked thrawns AI so he is not a dummy. You might have been able to do it last time but it's been upgraded and updated. I'm in the same boat. Plus I'd say they are the hardest to gear as their requirements are better used on arena toons.

untrue, I finished my 7* this morning with a full g8 pheonix, i had to switch my arena mods over yet i have very few over 10 speed. as was just posted the trick is to despell the taunt as quickly as possible then DPS the deathtroopers off quickly, wait for the first fracture then taunt with kanan, if you can manage to get the deathtroopers down with most of your team alive you're looking good. its a big RNG game took me 17 tries to get set up right but it is possible. omegad uniques but no zetas.

I just can't believe it chap. not that i'm calling you a liar but I just don't believe that's possible. I got +115 on hera and +100 on ezra with 216% CD and not even taking the DT's down.

It took 6 battles but I was able to do it. Crappy mods, but ezra and chopper are g10 and the rest were g8.

G10 Ezra, and the rest were G9. 7*, 85, but without omega abilities and with average mods. (Didn’t use Sabine.) Tried twice and failed. Put an omega on every unique, and then beat it in one attempt.

I managed with Hera, chopper, zeb, Kanan and Ezra on,y Ezra gIX rest gVIII.
This was outlined in another post but I used 220spd on chopper and 195 in Ezra with the rest 125+
The trick is really to control the fight, don’t worry about pace or dmg just control
If you use only basic all the way to thrawn Ezra will have max stacks then try to take the first fracture on Kanan and use backup plan in whoever took it
Next cleanse the taunt, kill deathtroopers, cleanse taunt kill deathtroopers then magma save thrawn for last

I finished with full health and full prot on almost all
