Hey seeing as there is no bb8 sub forum I figured this was the best place to ask. What gear level should I have my traditional First Order team at in order to complete the event. The first order is very stun gun and mk3 carbanti hungry so I want to use the least amount possible. Would everyone at gear 8 suffice or am I going to have to pony up and give Kylo his Zeta on Outrage?Thanks for the advice in advance!

I did it with all gear 8 except kylo who was gear 9 and no zetas, however it did take alot of attempts to get the right rng

https://swgoh.gg/u/witnessedjarl/collection/?f=first-orderI did it with that team (mods etc are all still the same) and can reliable beat it. (also beat 1st tier of mythic with it)Can usually beat it in a few tries 2-3xPhasma as leader.As strategy I use FOO his marching orders on kylo and then outrage to stun bb8 with him. Then I use FOTP gun down and target rey. Then I use victory march from phasma to gain TM. From here on out I try to kill rey first. When FOST is next I use his taunt and it also gains TM for my team again and if rey is dead I target to kill the veterans, I always keep finn and bb8 as last to kill.Hope this helps.

https://swgoh.gg/u/woodroward/collection/?f=first-orderMy Kylo was only in g8 when I did the event, I have stolen mods from them since then. They weren't that great of mods though. The only one I really stacked speed on was FOO. Other than that they are unchanged from when I beat it.I followed a similar strategy to what witnessedjari did, but with one big difference. After FOO gave tm to kylo, I would stun Rey. Not doing so meant Rey would kill someone when she went. Doing so meant she never got to attack. The only other thing I really did differently was not using FOST's taunt until others were low on health. I found using it before others were low to lead to him dying early on.

Bb8 legendary event is not really hard, thrawn is a way much harder. You should get your first order to g8 and mod them. Then keep some gear in your inventory to push g9 on toon if you need it to complete the event

Thanks for that in depth strategy! Would you say it still be possible with the pilot at gear 9?

Phasma as leader.

Yes I think it is possible with him at gear 9. Just know that the lower their gear and abilities the more you depend on rng which means it might take you quite a few tries to beat it. (could take hours, could be 1st attempt)

Mine was Kylo g9 level 82 and the rest were g8 at level 80. Took quite a few tries due to rng.
