getting 7* R2
So ... for the past week or so, I have been farming empires like crazy to get a chance to get 7* R2.
I have read countless threads on which teams to use, minimum gear levels and so on.
Today I finally got the last shards I needed to ugrade my RG to 7*.
I geared up, switched mods around and so on.
One thing I didn't factor into the equation was, that almost the entire team I would be fighting in the event, had just been reworked - Raid Han, Leia, Farmboy and Old Ben.
Result: No 7* R2 for me! Not even close.
First: The rebel scum managed to hit me around 10 attacks before any of my toons would move. They then proceeded to hit me 4-5 times between my first and second toon. And so on, and so on, until my entire team had been killed off.
I tried a lot of mod-switching, and accumulated 45 tries before finally giving up. It's just not possible.
So all my efforts were wasted ... yeah I know ... now I don't need to farm empire shards before my next try. Just gear. Apart from the fact that the empire toons I farmed, are not necessarily viable to do the event anymore, and therefore I may need to farm 1 or 2 new empire toons before next time.
Hopefully I'll be able to farm enough Phoenix to get Thrawn before then.
Team used:
EP (L), G9
Vader, G9
TFP, G8
Tarkin, G8
RG, G8
All had their skills maxed minus leader abilities and zetas. I know gear levels should be higher, but alot of players reported to have succeeded with a similar team.
Disclaimer: The is by no means whine. Just sharing an experience. I don't mind having to wait another cycle, but I just wish I would have thought about the consequences of the rework affecting the event.
