Can't beat last tier of Thrawn event. Read a few tips from people who 7 starred him last time around and they had Phoenix at gear 8 and used ok mods. My Phoenix squad are gear 8 almost at gear 9 with ok mods and I can't even put a dent in the last battle. Using Hera as lead and not using chopper at all. Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks

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.https://swgoh.gg/u/terrus/collection/?f=phoenixI 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.

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 chopper4. taunt immediately with kannen5. stagger ONE of the DT's with Zeb6. use a hera/ezra assist with zeb to stun and reduce that DT's TM to zero7. then immediately go to work on the DT that still has the buff, kill him asap8. whilst doing this, ensure hera and ezra are calling zeb at every opportunity on this DT, ensuring he's constantly stunned9. kill the other DT10. make sure you keep thrawn stunned with zeb basic and hera/ezra calling assists for the rest of the battle11. kill taunter12. kill healers13. kill thrawnother 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!

At this point I'm sure it's possible. I know some people who have gotten it with a worse team than mine. To get this done consistently, you need good mods and high gear level.

People who got it on their first or second time, just shut up already. You got lucky and have no idea how lucky you got. It's not skill, it's RNG. Yes, many of us know what Phoenix abilites give... we know the synergies, we aren't dumb.

I absolutely hate that it took me two months to prep this and I'm still struggling... all because this poor excuse for a company has gated all toons behind stun cuffs, and the stupid carbanti pieces of crap...

I want to quit this game so bad, but I'm too far in. I might dishonorably rage quit if I don't get Thrawn though... no honor, and I'd regret it, but it will feel so good to hit delete on this game someday soon.

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 across the board, except for them fixing his AI. I beat it with g8 and my fastest character was Ezra at 171, Hera at 150. Stop using Sabine--she's an excellent character in general, but this isn't arena or galactic war. This match isn't about alpha striking one enemy and leveraging that to brute force the rest of the way.

This is a long match that needs a long-term strategy and patience. You need to use all of your abilities, especially the ones that aren't attacks but give Protection Up to your taunting ally. You need Chopper's 15% protection up when hit to mitigate the incoming damage. Sabine will get you killed because all she brings to the table is damage.

Use the strategy quoted below, it's how I did it.

ive tried beating it with 8 tier gear on all members and can manage to get thrawn down to about 3/4 health but still using only level 80 characters. I first of all ensure that chopper takes the first fracture then taunt after with kanan as he can take much more(fracture knock him out to soon) then have the stormtrooper taunt removed by ezra. start to lay into one death trooper then knock out the other. i then went for the healers, then finished the taunt. finally going for thrawn but at this point he seems to take everyone out so i might see how i go when i get them to 85. but since i can do so much as is i feel like itll be fine to take him down with the extra 5 levels each character
