General Advice needed: Return of Palpatine event?

I had 0 rebels when Palpatine event came - and wasn't able to get him.

Currently, I have a strong squad of Rebels - but my wedge and sthan are both 6 stars (wedge needing 100 shards, han needing 55).

I've, since then, reverted to using droids in the arena and am in the process of finishing off a couple of them (B2 almost to 100 now, hk starting the last 100).

Should I finish off my Rebels now? or stick with building my arena team?

I'm just scared that I'll keep building droids - then all of a sudden the event appears out of nowhere (like the Yoda events apparently are) and I won't have time to get Wedge and sth to the 7* needed to get Palp
  • Droid teams will get a big big boost at lv 83 from hk/88 getting to gear 10 and I would focus on getting them max geared as fast as possible and stockpiling the necessary gear to push them into 10 first... from what I can see on my roster, most toons won't see gear 10 until lv 85.

    Thus giving Droid teams a slight advantage over others until lv 85 cap reached in arena (and subsequent gear attained).

    You mean gear 11, right?

    What other rebels do you have mate besides those 2, and are they 7*?


    I have Biggs at 7*, HRsc at 7*, Lando at 7*.

    Yeah gear 11...lol my bad...
  • I'm kinda in same boat as you though... I just barely got palpy to 6* before event ended.

    since then I unlocked wedge also have leia/lando/biggs/pathfinder as my main group now. I really like that team as 4 aoe's makes big difference... been getting to node 8-10 with that group at max lv gear 9 and leia/lando totally max/moded.

    I have ackbar/solider/scout unlocked and decent enough...since they used to be only f2p options but I like aforementioned party most.
  • I would finish B2 shards and then start on wedge from cantina battles while you are gearing up your droids.
    Ditto St Han once hk shards are done.

    I beat the 7* with a far worse team than that mate, you should be fine with the other 2 at 7* and all at G8 (9 preferably). Ackbar is awesome for it but not needed, I didn't haven't him. STH is more important for the final battle, and with Wiggs you'll do it no problem. Hope that helps :smile:
