Hi everyone,So for many of us, this is going to be our very 1st chance at getting the sith lord himself. But if you're like me, you've probably spent all of your time and effort into getting a strong Jedi team to unlock Yoda. This means that you'd be lucky to have enough guys to just get past the 1st stage of the event leaving you with only a handful of shards.This question goes out to all the veterans from the last event, how many stages do we need to pass to get the 145 shards to unlock Emperor Palpatine and what are the minimum requirements to get to this stage? I'm sure everyone has a few rebels that would be ok but do they meet the required star rating and level? How many stars will we need for each stage and what would be the recommended level for each stage? If I can at least unlock Emperor Palpatine I'd be happy.I know this event could be completely different from last time but any insight into what happened last time would be awesome!!!

It's all right going after Yoda first. To each their own. If it were me and I knew as a new player what I know as an experienced one, I'd unlock EP first. Yoda comes around a lot. Palpatine does not. Plus, EP is far more useful. That's for any new players out there.

5 tiers, so 5 5* rebels... and yes you would be happy

You need 5x 5* Rebels to unlock him. I unlocked him at 5* last time using Ackbar, Leia, Biggs, ST Han and Lando. Leia and ST Han were the only toons fully lvl'ed to 80 and G10. It was very easy.I imagine if you have Wedge, it will be even easier at 5*.Since you can retry as many times as you like, I would hoard credits and training droids. Try out the event first and if it is too difficult, level up your toons. If you can pass it, you don't have to waste the droids/credits.If you have all your toons at lvl 75 / G8, I think you should be fine.

....ummm....Palpatine? Did you get lost and wander into the wrong thread? Also, not that Yoda is the best solution I was just pointing out the fact that everyone in this thread is talking about a Sith Lord and you're asking a pretty dumb question considering that fact.

Thanks @sying

so what would be the best characters to go after for the event? Leia is one of my more stronger characters so she would make since but who else?

You need to pick an 8-energy cost cantina node toon. Lando is the best of those, but you already have SRP at 3* and time isn't on your side, so farm him and Leia to 5*.

I took Lando from 2 to 7* in 8 days last event. It is possible to get to 5* by the end of it if you don't mind spending a little and refreshing a lot. The problem is you will have to level and gear him even if you star him. If you are going to do it, do it right. AA, STH, Wiggs, and Lando. Leia is good for the event. I imagine Chaze would be good for the event, too.

I would suggest once you start on rebels do not stop. Nobody knows when the event will come back around. After this one they just might make it appear more often and you don't want to be unprepared. But it could also be another six months. Either way, the sooner you are ready the better. Rebels are pretty good. They won't be sitting on your bench while you wait for the event to return.
