Will I be fine for R2 7* (no palp)

Question

Hi all,I currently only have 4 7* empire, working on magma trooper to get the 5th before the event is over.Unfortunately thrawn is only 5* and palp 6*I'm turning lvl 80 tomorrow, will be lvl 81 by the time I get my magma to 7* (but obviously not lvl 82)My lineup is currently Tarkin G9, Vader G9, TFP G10, Stormtrooper G8 (working on gearing him up further) and magmatrooper G6 (hopefully I can get him G8 before the end of the event).I was thinking of going for a tarkin lead because of the defense debuff and the much needed speed bonus.What do you guys think?

If it was last r2d2 event I would say no as magma is bad for this event but Vader is a lot better now than he was then so maybe.

Definitely go tarkin lead. A lot of vader's leadership is cancelled in tier vii of the event.

Didn’t you need to be lvl 85 for 7* R2? I may be wrong on that but magma trooper is terrible for this event. Without a Tank nearly impossible, I leveled up to gear 10 and still barely got it.

Well, there's no reason NOT to give it a try :-) And it won't be lost, magma is good in raids and a recent video showcased him in an interesting anti-meta arena team too :-)

Well, I finally got magma trooper to 7* today, and defeated R2 on the 4th try :-) just thought I'd give an update on this, so whoever is in the same case as me knows it: you can beat r2 last tier without EP and Thrawn
