Thrawn Event

I mean you can't take hardly ANY protection off Thrawn. I hacked and hacked. Then when he fractures someone it's game over since he counters everything and then everyone dies.

Devs please do something about this amped up difficulty. It's completely unfair if it was increased because I don't see how anyone possibly beat this last time with G8s and they did since I can see what my guild mates have.

Guessing they made harder with Phoenix rework. Sounds like the yoda stuff they pulled long ago

It was plenty hard last time. I'm pretty sure they have said that the difficulty hasnt changed. I hsg g11 ezra, g10 hera, g9 sabine and g8 kannan and zeb and it still took me at least a dozen tries

Just completed it but I had to switch out all my best mods to make it happen.

Ezra G10
Hera G9
Kanan, Zeb, Chopper G8

Made Chopper my fastest followed by Hera. That kept the taunt/back up plan working well, especially once I lost Kanan not long after getting through Stormtrooper.

After I took out Deathtrooper the rest crumbled. If you can use Ezra's debuff to kill the Storm troopers taunt, just go right after Death Troopers straight away.

Anyone know when the event will be back?

Prob take another 6 months to get all the stun guns needed

I just completed it.

Hera(L) G9
Ezra G9
Chopper G9
Kanan G8
Zeb G8

I used my arena mods and failed pretty miserably on wave 4. Then I Omega’d Chopper’s unique and won pretty handily, it seems to help a lot. I did have Hera’s Leader Omega’d & all of Ezra’s abilities Omega’d previously, no Zetas though.

I just did it with my G8 Phoenix squad (didn't use Sabine, see here https://swgoh.gg/u/koragaz/collection/?f=phoenix ). Tried it with the original bad mods they had and I got annihilated. Swapped over my arena mods and I did it first try. Couple of things that helped me:

1) Make sure all your skills are out of cooldown at the end of the 3rd phase. Go into 4th phase prepared!
2) Zeb is important! Try to 7* him and use as much potency on him as you can. Thrawn has really high tenacity, but I managed to stagger/stun him a couple of times and that helped a lot.
3) Use as many damage mods (critical damage, chance, offense) as you can on Ezra. He'll be able to dispose of adds really fast.
4) Careful with your taunts. I used a combo of Hera's rez and Kanan's taunt at the start. On my first failed try with the bad mods, the rez didn't work when a fractured Kanan died (rez buff applied after fracture, might be a bug? The buff icon was there, so it should've worked). Remember, dead Kanan means no counter attacks.
5) Kill order: Deathtrooper->Healers->Stromtrooper->Thrawn.

That was my experience, hope it helps!

Dame story as above but ive tried every combo... there all 7* g9 and hera/ezra g10... the most i can do is kill one... sigh... guess tbey want me to spend money i dont have on what? Zetas you can't buy?

I know others completed it with with less gear last time... seems the difficulty got cranked up.

Correct me if i'm wrong... but g9/g10 was enough to 7* thrawn last time?

Gear eight was enough last time, but speed counts big time, and also, kill order, Fwiw, Sabine at 213 Ezra at 187 Hera at 178 zeb at 166 and kanaan at 156, Match or exceed those speeds on those chars and you should be just fine at gear 8 or better. Also it helps to time it out that Ezra has Tm going into the last wave so you can dispel the taunt and start on the death troopers right away,

They increased A LOT the difficulty, they dont want any FTP to get Thrawn

Update: l did beat it after a lot of strategy and a good RNG

Kanan Taunts, Dispell the ST with Ezra or Chopper, then Thrawn fractures Kanan, l taunt with Chopper, them l kill the DTs, then the ST, then the Commanders, and finally, Phoenix Squad vs Thrawn, it was super exciting, l used Hera's Backup Plan to revive Kanan as l focused Thrawn's attention to him (like 4 times, it was hilarious), finally, Ezra defeated him with a Flourish, it was super epic, and nobody died (well Kanan did, but he was revived like 5 times).
