Hello guys!First of all see my roster here: https://swgoh.gg/u/switcheroo/collection/The EP event is coming up. So I started concentrating my farming to finish Ezra to 7*. Then I realized that I'm using Boba who is not a rebel... -.-So my arena team (highest toons) atm is as follows: Lando, Boba, STH, Biggs, EzraThey are 7* and Ezra is 7/100.So now I'm saving all crystals for cantina refreshes and dumping everything in Ezra so I can get him ASAP to 7*.So please help me do the math. If I understand correctly I get 550 cantina energy every day if I get 2 refreshes (I might be able to get 3 sometimes). So to get the 83 missing shards for Ezra with 33% drop rate it means 83*8*3= roughly 2000 energy or 4 days. So I would have 10 days left until the end of the EP event.Now I need another rebel... As far as I can tell I have these options:1. After I'm done with Ezra go for Wedge (which would be my next farm anyway). I just doubt that there is enough time to get him to 7*. He is at 42/80 so I would need 288 (?) more shards so that would be 288*3*10= roughly 8640 energy so that means 16 days.2. Use cantina currency to buy Chopper shards. He is 4* 35/65 right now but I will need him eventually for Phoenix anyway.3. Buy Ackbar shards in fleet and arena store. He is 4* 5/65. Not my favorite option because it would slow down other farms.So which would be my fastest rebel farm? Is it even possible to get one to 7* (without spending real money) before Feb 14th when the EP event ends? Is my math flawed? Please advise.Thank you for your time!

So, yes, your math is wrong.The cost of the refresh is 100 crystals, you get 120 energy per refresh. Plus, you get a bonus 45 energy once per day. Works out to 405 energy every day.

So just to give some feedback, I managed to get Ackbar to 6* so I got EP at 6* also. Thanks again for the help!

I 'll let you to the pathway leading to Emperor..The event is easy. with lando sth biggs ready, you need just 2 random guys to fill the squad.1. farm ezra or whatever 8 energy rebel character . you will certainly finish him in time. 2 refresh = 120+120+45+120=405energy. yes this math is right. divide by 8 it's roughly 50 attempts. even if your drop rate is as terrible as 20%, that is 10 shards a day. 8 day farm at the worst.2. in squad arena shop finish sthan obviouslyi have no idea of your rank but you get 200 from daily mission. factor that in your calculation. if your han is 0/100, and if your rank earns 600 token a day, 600+200=800token =10 shard a day. 10 day farm.3. in gw farm bohdi. Edit: actually, no. assuming he is at 0 shards it will take 330÷15=22days 4. in cantina token store farm whatever rebel in there that is closest to 7*. this is just failproof excess farmingEdit: this is not failproof because you can't get bohdi. it all comes down to whether you can finish chopper in time.in 8 energy node you earn 13 token.you will spend 405 energyso that earns 405÷8×13 tokendivide it by 400. multiply by 5.that is 8.xx and that is the average number of shards you farm thru cantina shop. daily.multiply the figure by remaining days. roughly 10 days left.8x10=80if that figure is more than the remaining shards for chopper you are good.but you need 30+85+100=215shards..so you won't make chopper in time.aim for 6 starmaybe you should use arena token for ackbar to make him 6* if that is possible.Edit:just found your zeb is 3*. that is 50~79 shards.you need 251~280 shards. takes 17~19 days. that is not possible.but for 6*, you need 151~180 shards.that takes 11~13 days. possible if your zeb is not 0/30.conclusion: ezra from cantina zeb from gw7* is impossible this time around. aim for 6*

Im in same boat :( got sthan and biggs 7* lando and ezra 6* and wedge 4*. Im too low level to do wedges node so I am panic farming farmboy luke, currently 3* and going to sadly aim for ep.6*

The event is easy. with lando sth biggs ready, you need just 2 random guys to fill the squad.
1. farm ezra or whatever 8 energy rebel character . you will certainly finish him in time. 2 refresh = 120+120+45+120=405energy. yes this math is right. divide by 8 it's roughly 50 attempts. even if your drop rate is as terrible as 20%, that is 10 shards a day. 8 day farm at the worst.

2. in squad arena shop finish sthan obviously
i have no idea of your rank but you get 200 from daily mission. factor that in your calculation. if your han is 0/100, and if your rank earns 600 token a day, 600+200=800token =10 shard a day. 10 day farm.

3. in gw farm bohdi.
Edit: actually, no. assuming he is at 0 shards it will take 330÷15=22days

4. in cantina token store farm whatever rebel in there that is closest to 7*. this is just failproof excess farming
Edit: this is not failproof because you can't get bohdi. it all comes down to whether you can finish chopper in time.
in 8 energy node you earn 13 token.
you will spend 405 energy
so that earns 405÷8×13 token
divide it by 400. multiply by 5.
that is 8.xx and that is the average number of shards you farm thru cantina shop. daily.
multiply the figure by remaining days. roughly 10 days left.
8x10=80
if that figure is more than the remaining shards for chopper you are good.
but you need 30+85+100=215shards..
so you won't make chopper in time.
aim for 6 star
maybe you should use arena token for ackbar to make him 6* if that is possible.
Edit:just found your zeb is 3*. that is 50~79 shards.you need 251~280 shards. takes 17~19 days. that is not possible.
but for 6*, you need 151~180 shards.
that takes 11~13 days. possible if your zeb is not 0/30.

conclusion: ezra from cantina
zeb from gw
7* is impossible this time around. aim for 6*

Thanks for the replies!

My STHan is actually 7* just waiting for the creds to upgrade.

So only one more toon needed. I will just keep trying Chopper and Ackbar, whoever ends up being higher by the time.

Zeb is 3* 20/30, I really think Chopper in Cantina store or Ackbar in Fleet + Arena + Guild event store will be faster. And they are useful toons also in the future.

If it is only 6* EP in the end well then so be it...

You also get one 45 energy bonus per day.

Wedge, Biggs, Lando, Leia, and StHan are basically free, I have no idea why anyone has them at less than 7*. They're the easiest squad to get to 7* in the entire game.

Have you considered that some of us haven't started playing so long ago? I just started mid-December...

I did something like 63 Hera shards with 2 days/15 hours remaining on Thrawn as 100% f2p. It's definitely possible.
