What do I need to beat tier 5 of Aggressive Negotiations?

F2P here and i just got Padme 7* today with Geos, everyone Omega'ed and GBA with his double Z although they are kind of a gear salad:
GBA and GS: G11
PTL: G10
SF and GSpy: G9

You just need to survive the initial onslaought and terminate Padme as soon as possible.

You can either get nute (extremely ftp option)
And/ or geo brood alpha (again, ftp)
Or you can throw another 2 months worth of gear at the team you are currently using that then wont help you beat tier 7 for yet another 3 months after that.
GG is an end game farm toon.
Nute and gba are your best options.

There's your answer.

It is foolish to not ramp up your Geo's and Nute. The 2nd most rewarding TB requires them. Go all out on all Seps and a high_GP guild might be willing to let you tag along. Forget Padme and kill Ackley. You'll be getting far more rewards from being in a guild that want that than the wrong Seps (none are really wrong) and Padme

We are answering your question. Your current team as is may not cut it. GG without his metal monstrosity zeta is going to just hurt you. You also need B1 to make that team pop.
So the best course of action is to get Geo Brood up to snuff and his genosians, or work on Nute.

Ok, Yes you are answering my question, but I guess what I’m trying to say is what should I do with the team I have right now? I only plan on using this team to beat tier 5 so I can unlock her so I can have her at 5*’s and have more patience to gear up a better team for tiers 6 and 7

I would change your plan and use a different team to unlock her. Personally, I didn't have GBA or Spy even at 5* when I did T5-7 of the event, so Geos weren't a viable option for me, and I didn't have GG, Droideka, B1, or B2 starred up either. I ended up using Nute (L, G9), Jango (G12), AV (G11), and Magna and Poggle, who were somewhere between G7-9. Obviously not a strat that will work for everyone, but for it to work, Nute's lead was key. You don't even need him at a high gear level, but using him as lead on that team and just taking out GG, and maybe gearing the team up a tier or two should be enough to at least unlock Padme.

Thanks, that will be in my pocket of back up plans

5* unlock was incredibly easy as I recall. You probably could do this with all gold mods and right stats

What did you use? For me they wiped the floor with me

Yeah, I was just trying to help someone else with this.

One thing I'll mention is that gearing GeoSpy is VERY easy. You should be farming Nute and Brood Alpha, but GeoSpy is easy to get shards and easy to gear, and even at g9 can one-shot Padme & Anakin and maybe even FishHead (I don't remember for sure).

On the other hand, you can get it done with g12 Ventress and that squad. Maybe even g11 Ventress and them. But that's not at all the right squad for the event, so if you're adding gear only for this event, best to just jam Ventress to the max and keep trying until she gets it for you. Don't bring GG up to g10 for this event (eventually you want him relic'd but this is your short term plan, not your long-term). Invest all the gear in one toon - Ventress.

Meanwhile, bring GeoSpy along as quick as you can. Up to g8 it will be using very different gear than Ventress, so that's no problem. It's only the last couple gear pieces at g8 that might conflict at all with your Ventress gear. Once you have GeoSpy at g9, you're good enough for both Tier5 and Tier6. For Tier7 you might want g10 on GeoSpy just for survivability ... but you really don't need it since if Spy gets killed you can always start the event over.

So, yeah, bring along Brood Alpha and/or Nute + GeoSpy for Tier5-7. Get Ventress up to g12. Let the droids linger for now.

GeoSpy replaces b2 (you want the buffs on them so GeoSpy gets more bonus damage) and your leader replaces one of the tanks (Nute replaces Sun Fac, but Brood Alpha replaces Magna to keep as many Geos on your squad as possible).

That's it. gear Ventress like crazy, get Spy, and as soon as you can, but after spy, replace your leader with a better one.

Of course, you probably also want to zeta Ventress' Rampage. That's going to be crucial later for scoring a minimum of 10m in HSTR. (Make sure you look up the DeathStorm team before gearing up your NightSisters - you want at least one NS at low-ish gear, and the best option for that is NightSister Initiate, but I've seen people who geared her too soon and now she doesn't work like she's supposed to).

What mod quality does one need to do it with GBA lead bugs?
