Thrawn event is a colossal waste of time

I don't know what people expected ... to win easily?

I did it with Ezra G10, Hera, Zeb, Chopper and Kanan G8.
All level 80. Abilities maxed on Ezra, Omega on all leader/uniques, omega on a couple of other abilities, no zetas. Mods were good - and lots of speed.

And no, I didn't win because of good RNG.
I won because I prepared for the event, and didn't try to settle with the weakest possible team for the job.

At this point you should expect end game content to be pretty hard to get.
So, of course you need lvl 80+ toons, of course you're not going to auto-win with G7 toons, of course you need good mods to win, and of course you need omega abilities to win.

I fail to see how this can be a surprise to people.

It is more than doable if you make the effort - but make no mistake, it DOES take effort, and no, you won't be able to farm or gear 5 other toons at the same time.

Stop crying, and start grinding and preparing for the next time.

There are some really dumb people posting here.

What the guy is saying is this:

A grey mod has no secondaries.

He upgrades this mod to level 3 to see what secondary appears.

If a speed secondary appears, he will then upgrade that mod to 15.

At no point does he say the speed secondary itself will upgrade further.

He is upgrading the mod, not the speed secondary.

Brainless.

He said he took a grey mod to +10 speed. He's wrong because that's not possible.

You can't get a grey mod to give a speed secondary of +10 with just one upgrade.

And you can't take a grey mod and get a secondary stat to upgrade twice.

So he's wrong. End of story.

Correction it was +10 not 12. However I've only upgraded to lvl 12.

It was a health data bus (circle) and most definitely a secondary. Can't remember what the initial speed was when I upgraded to level 3 (when 1 secondary appears). Think it might have been six to start with. However after upgrading to lvl12 it jumped to +10. Definitely more than 6.

Looks to me like he said the speed secondary will upgrade further.

How old does a post have to be to be considered a necromancy?

*Collects tears of despair.*

It's not just omegas, gear, mods and RNG, it's strategy. It's not as simple as "Kill DTs first, Thrawn last". What is going to help your chances immensely is if you can time Zeb's Staggering Sweep when Thrawn is close to full turn meter so that another character can hit him and effectively cause him to lose a turn. He's the real danger in this group so he has to be neutralized as much as possible while you take out his minions.

Your goal should be to ensure he takes as few turns as possible and if properly timed Sweeps can reduce his turns in the encounter by even two, then you've given yourself a far greater chance of beating him.

I don't know, but necroing a thread in order to call other people brainless when he didn't even understand what was being posted about might be hilarious enough to let it slide.

Thrawn event gave me Thrawn. I certainly don’t see that as “a colossal waste of time”.

I mean... I got Thrawn to 7* with all my phoenix being Gear 7, no Sabine.

The real trick is to max their abilities, aside from any zetas. The uniques matter most to max first, since they're shared.

One of the key point is Ezra speed. Assign the best on Ezra. The faster Ezra gets turns, the faster the whole team will get to +40% attack (assuming Ezra unique is Omega'ed).
