Whine free-zone to share Chewie strats :)

Boba (L) G12+1, +52 speed, blue-ish mods
Cad G12, +55 speed, blue-ish mods
Greedo G12+3, +68 speed, blue-ish mods
IG88 G12+1, +53 speed, blue-ish mods
Dengar G12+1, +68 speed, blue-ish mods
no zeta.

If Han not shooting Dengar/Cad with his bonus turn, retry.
If Dengar is not stealthing before R2's smoke, retry.

Greedo steal Han's turn meter and dispell his buff, Boba execute Chewie, if you are lucky you can drop him to 50% or lower, so others who;s going next is easily taking him off.
Then kill Han, stun him preferred because he counters. after Han defeated you got your contract activated and everything is easy.

My set are Boba G12, IG Gear 11, Greedo G8, Cad G9, and Dengar G6. It took a lot of tries (some of the scenarios in previous posts). As someone pointed out in FB - take out Chewy first and then it is not that difficult with your surviving BHs to finish it off. Everyone is 7 star except Dengar who is 5 stars. So, can't even try Tier 6 this time. Boba is my highest power toon.

I 7* event with Bossk, Boba, Greedo, Dengar, Embo. All gear 12 except Embo is 11. Took 4 attempts, The one where I completed it I was able to taunt Bossk after the Initial onslaught, killed Leia first then Chewbacca then Han, Lando, R2. Mods were pretty standard they were not my arena ones.

6* OG BH's

G9 zam

Key was dropping Chewie first using boba' s execute if you can drop him.in the first round of your turns you can win it

Don't go for the early contract trigger cos han has guard

How key was Dengar to handling Smokescreen?
Who have you got Zetas on?

No zetas, on reflection i'd say dengar was probably essential for getting that early kill on a non stealthed chewie

Got 6* with BF(L) G11, zam G10, cad G12+, greedo G10 and IG88 G10.

Since it is single stage, I think Boba lead may be the way to go. Or Embo for counters but I doubt many have him high enough. Just not going to out heal their damage.

I got 6* with g9 Boba, Greedo, Zam, Dengar, and g11 6* Bossk. Had to move my arena mods but got 5* and 6* first time once I did.

Just wanted to chip in to say thanks for this thread, a beacon of positivity amidst the outrage; it enabled me to get my mediocre BHs (7* G9 Boba, 7* G9 Greedo, 6* G10 Ig-88, 6* G8 Dengar, 5* G8 Bossk) over the finish line to unlock 5* Chewie after hours of trying, both in terms of mod setup and tactics. Initially I thought a Bossk lead was the way to go, but I think you probably need his leadership zeta to make that work, at least with the toons available to me, so I switched to Boba lead and maxed out potency mods.

Then my tactics in the battle were to take Chewie out ASAP (I think I managed to stun him with Dengar which helped), then Lando, then Han, then ROLO and finally R2 (but only just). I had Boba and Dengar left standing at the end, but only just, and that was mainly thanks to the BH'sR/Execute combo that saved Boba about 3 times.

My BHs have no chance at 6* this time round (not least because I had to put all the resources I'd set aside for Chewie into them just to unlock him) so I'm happy with that for now, and realise that I'm gonna have to get gear farming like whoa for the next time the event swings round.

I managed to beat T6 with BF lead by modding to his lead's strength (potency, crit chance) and playing the rng game so that I could kill chewie first. Squad was g12 zBF (200), g11 zam (210), g11 greedo (190), g11 cad bane (156), g9 dengar (161). Their total potency was 317% for a max health bonus of 158%, which is key to surviving the opening barrage. Next strategy was to retreat if Dengar did not get critically hit before r2's turn; he will stealth on crit and prevent smokescreen from stealthing everyone.
Next up, use execute on chewie (he should be buffed by han) which took him down to ~35% health with heal immun. Greedo finished him off. Next step was to have either zam or dengar use their aoe to debuff everyone with bombs. This grants all bhs +15 speed per debuffed enemy, so +60 at best now that chewie is gone. Each bomb exploding gives tm as well and seriously weakens the rest. Next I stunned han with cad bane (zam and greedo died in the meantime). Fett double taps lando and regains BH resolve, cad bane double taps han, kills him, and then valiantly dies, leaving fett and dengar facing leia and r2. At this point it's a done deal. Fett double taps leia, regains all protection again, dengar clears foresight on r2, and used bf aoe special on r2 to get the dengar assist, then fett takes him out.
So T6 is doable with BF lead with some luck and a solid strategy. It also helped that I'm home sick with a cold, flat out on the couch with literally nothing else to do. But pretty sure that's not a requirement.
Hope that helps!

Great posts, thank you.

I'm with @Metroplex79 - I got what my levels warranted.

I may be able to get Chewie unlocked before the event ends. Thanks to all the great advice on this thread. If not, it will be next time ;)

I used Boba (lead), dengar G7, Greedo G12, bane, G11, zam G10 and beat T6.
But had to try about 15 times before R2 did not use smokescreen and hide chewy. I beat it the first time he didn't use smokescreen.
