Tier 3 Artist of War

Here is another way to look at it: AC/DC comes to town and you put $1,500 on your credit card (gearing up) for a ticket. Go tot the concert and it blows your mind (rewards). So for the next several months/years you scrimp and save for their next concert. The next concert rolls around and it is a cover band that forgets half the lyrics (event rewards). You could have gotten the same experience from a local bar (normal everyday challenges and battles). The reward should match the event and in these cases, they don't.

Thrawn, deathtrooper, tarkin, Vader, shore

Thrawn is g12, rest are g11

It works for me because tarkin does offense and crit chance down, really stops their damage.

This. EP's unique and shock are also really helpful, especially with the pre-loaded TM and number of turns taken at the start of the event (I count something like 14 before I get to go). Usually enough debuffs for Vader to one shot Sabine. A tank is helpful to save EP from an early death.

It's really quite easy with EP, Shore, and Death.

your empire must be trash in order for you to make such a statement.

I'm not going to say this is the worst analogy ever posted here - for one, because I'm not that big of a fan of hyperbole. For two, because I may have missed one or two. But this one is definitely on the "Mount Rushmore" of worst analogies ever posted. For several reasons (and some points about many of the clueless posts in this thread):

1) Geared up toons are useful in things other than this event. So the analogy falls apart right there.

2) Imperial Troopers and Empire in general is one of (if not THE) most user-friendly factions in the game for it's relative power. So anyone suggesting that you have to "buy" anything to beat this event is being completely disingenuous.

3) Thrawn is one of the most useful characters in the game. As a Division 1 GAC player with 4.8M GP I use him in EVERY GAC. I also use a Palp-lead Empire team and Imperial Troopers team on offense. Every GAC. I also use both in Geo TB and TW regularly.

4) If you don't "like" a particular character and don't wish to farm/gear/mod them to complete an event that is ABOUT them, that's fine. But you can't then complain about it - that's your choice.

5) The rewards aren't that great. So? Then don't bother with the event until you have geared Empire, Thrawn, and Troopers for other things, then come back and beat for "free" stuff next time it comes around. The rewards are what they are (and have always been for this event). Could they be better? Sure. Would I object if they were better? Of course not. Am I going to do the event for 2 omegas anyway? You bet.

Agree with everything! Just wanted to point out how impressed i am that you can use your troopers in geo TB :)
Mine don't last long in a first Wave. Stopped gearing them at g11. Wish i could spare more ressources for them. Use them in every GAC Offense, too. If they aren't good enough to take on opponents NS they still wipe the floor with most bossk teams.

Do you have Range Trooper? He makes the team 100x better.

You have all the characters who have come out in the past year basically. Lot of people who have played for longer have an empire team that was once very important. Just sounds to me like you haven’t been playing long and that’s why you think it’s hard. The Malak event , is way harder than this. You just likely don’t have an empire team worth much.

As many have said, shorty is key. Rewards:effort is great imho but I'm a sucker for mods.
Now GAC, those are trash rewards.

If you aren't paying attention, I can understand how you would think that.

Or I could just have a different opinion then you. But thanks for the demeaning comment.

It wasn't intended to be demeaning. I've summarized actual GAC rewards and the amount of effort to get them multiple times by now.

I apologize if you haven't seen my posts about it, I should have phrased it that way instead of the way I did.

But it's also completely irrelevant to the topic.

I've never seen any of your posts, only contrary, often belittling comments on others threads.
And comparing rewards in other areas of the game seems quite relevant. You seem to have a habit of presenting opinion as fact.

This thread is about tier 3 of the Thrawn event. GAC rewards have zero to do with it.

Again with stating an opinion as fact.
The thread is about the rewards of tier 3 in relation to its required effort. My point is that there are worse effort:reward areas in the game.

The problem with what you’re saying is that it’s irrelevant, bring the tank rewards into the conversation too then.

Is that opinion ? Or is it fact ?
And the effort - rewards analysis can also be largely opinion too. So just shush with the opinion fact nonsense. It’s worthless to argue that , wait was that opinion again. Damn

Rewards are great, but can't a person just play a game for fun anymore?

Idk... that droids/empire vs Ewoks event used to be a real nuisance.
