What's the ideal squad/tactics to 7* Thrawn?

Its hard fight but doable at g8 across the squad. You need perfect rng though. Also g8 zeb would probably be more useful than g8 sabine

Maximize stuns on thrawn while taking out deathtropers then healers

Really? That doesn't seem right, my team just gets stomped. I do have Zeb though, so I will swap him in.

I literally just auto'd it and somehow that worked better lol

Set yourself up so Ezra goes first in last wave. Dispel taunt. Put backup plan on chopper or Kaman. Taunt with your backup plan toon. Kill DT asap. Kill healers. Kill stormtrooper. Thrawn last. Use zebs daze and stun on thrawn when possible.

This strategy seems sound. Only problem is that with zeb's potency at 58% thrawn resists 4 out of 5 dazes/stuns. I usually manage to kill one enemy before my entire team is dead. That's with about 40 tries, now. My Phoenix squad is all level 80+ and gear 9. That's better than any of my squads we're for palpatine, R2, or yoda. For yoda, my squad was in their 60s and gear tier 7. Those events were all easy. Not one issue. Didn't have to retry a single battle. What gives? You shouldn't need to have your Phoenix squad at level 85, gear 11-12 and zetad to complete the event. The only thing I can change is increasing their gear and adding zetas. This event is ridiculous. Maybe they increased the difficulty because of the addition of gear 12 and the new Phoenix zetas? If so, that's idiotic, because you should NOT need either of those things for an event. Sorry, I'm frustrated. Even tier 6 thrawn killed my entire squad by himself a few times before I finished it. It's as if they only want people who use Phoenix as their main squad (and who spend hundreds of dollars a month) to get a 7* Thrawn. I'm very disappointed with this.

I'm in the same position of frustration. I've read many post claiming a win @ g8+rng. I suspect the difficulty has been increased as my team is g8+/g9+, good mods and I've run PS for quite a while and know how use them. Still I at best get ST, DT down and then when trying to burn last DT or heals Thrawn starts one shot'n everyone and I'm also noticing that my counters are not proc'n like they should with Kanan omega

I currently have Ezra g10 , Hera g9, Chopper g8, sabine g8, and Kanan g8, all with strong mods. but the 4th stage of the last Thrawn challenge just destroys me. Is there something I am missing? I feel like it shouldn't be this hard.

Sounds doable. I was able to 3-Star it with: Hera & Ezra (G9, Speed & Health Mods), Kanan (G8, Health x4, Tenacity x2), Chopper (G8, Health x6), Zeb (G8, Potency x6)

Priority 1: Debuff Taunter
Priority 2: Debuff Deathtroopers
Priority 3: Stunlock 1 Deathtrooper while killing other.
Priority 4: Stunlock Thrawn while killing remaining Deathtrooper.
Priority 5: Stunlock Thrawn while killing remaining Troopers.
Priority 6: Stunlock Thrawn & Kill.

This was not just RNG,either. The first time I went with this strategy I got it down to him and 1 healer pretty easily. I got excited/overconfident and ignored the healer to go after Thrawn, but I couldn't damage through the heals and once he took out Zeb it was o.v.e.r. over. Second time went down just like the first, except I killed the last healer and went after him. At one point, he resisted four consecutive times (3Dazes and 1 Stagger (with 74% Potency on Zeb!)) and went on a rampage and killed two of my team. I thought 'Oh heck no! I want to 3-star this guy!' so I retreated and tried a third time and everything went down just like the first two times, but this time he didn't get Uber Tenacity Streak and stayed stunlocked and died like the squishy little Empire Smurf he is.

Once you kill the 2 deathtroopers, you don't really NEED Chopper and Kanan (though obviously they help a lot), so I wouldn't panic about keeping them alive near the end. If you can get to Thrawn & Healers with just Hera, Ezra and Zeb they are enough to lock him down and take out the healers.

They didn't increase the difficulty after the Phoenix rework. And yes, the reason why you were getting resisted is because your toons aren't 85. Even if you had 75% potency, the lvl difference between your toons and Thrawn changes the numbers. Same with landing hits. The bigger the lvl gap, the less chance you have to hit. This can be done at lower gear lvls. I just did it with Ezra at G9 and the rest at G8, but My Phoenix are all lvl 85. I put my arena mods on them and it took me 6 tries to down him.

Yup, what this guy said ^

I did it with all gear 8, a +44 speed mod set as my fastest set, and all uniques omega'd. No sabine.
