Rey event tier 1 and 2

Hey all,
Tomorrow I'll have all the prerequisites for GL Rey, so I started to watch some videos on YouTube.
Problem is, I saw a lot of different team comps and most of them had relic R2's and C3PO's, which I don't have.
Is it possible without them? I wouldn't want to lose any hard earned tickets...
What were your successful team comps?
  • RJT/RHF/RHP/BB8/R2 will work fine, even without R2 at relics. He's mostly just there to prevent counters.
  • Dylarr’s Twi’lek Tactics on Youtube. You’re welcome. ?

    Got crushed my 1st Tier 1 attempt; used his strategy and they barely get a turn.

    Team is JTR-R2-3PO-BB8-Hero Finn.

    If your speed is close to mine, it’ll go like this:

    3PO- Throw a confuse on a trooper.
    BB8 - Do his wiggle.
    JTR- Take TM from the Hux reskin guy.
    R2 - SMOKESCREEN, leave Rey open.
    Hero Finn - His 2nd ability, give R2 the TM.
    R2 - Burn.

    Now pop the exposes and repeat this cycle, and it’s easy. I think Tier 2 is the same in his videos, but I’m finishing my Tier 1 shards before trying Tier 2.
  • Best guide I followed :jtr, resistance hero finn, bb8, r2, c3po.

    1, you use rey's ability block /turn removal skill on big guy in the middle
    2, r2 smoke screen on rjt
    3, you kill small fries, last the big guy
    4, very important to use Aoe abilities only when you are stealthed!!

    now I see others wrote similar above r, so I confirm it works

    As in smoke, I presume?
  • JTR is required. Do both hero finn and hero poe.
    And do bb8 as well as regular finn.

    You need a bit of rng to get you through till finn taunts and heals, but the hero bros will help yoi throigh and bb8 destiny helps
  • I use Jedi Rey, R2, Hero Finn, BB-8, and Holdo.

    To be honest, you don't even really need BB-8, it's just that he's generally useful and you've got him at r7 anyway, so why not?

    Rey uses her special to try and get a daze up, but even if she fails it's fine. R2 uses smoke, Finn swaps TM with Holdo (who should be near 100% anyway, you mostly do this so that Finn goes nearly back to back), Holdo dazes everyone, Finn AoEs. Rinse, repeat. Focus on dazed enemies if stealth falls off, but otherwise you've got all the things you need.

    You don't need R2 to be reliced, just need him to be fast. BUT, that said, I mean....... R2 is a superbly useful character and you should definitely relic him anyhow!

    Yeah, basically. But his AoE special is also good for applying Expose and breaking Exposes that had already been applied. But, yeah, the strongest element R2 brings to this fight is Smoke Screen. I still recommend putting a relic on him and bringing up to at least 4 anyhow, the zeta on Number Crunch is very helpful.

    EDIT: For what it's worth, my R2 is speed 274, with 101 coming from relics. You get a good amount of speed from g12+ gear, but 274 isn't super fast these days anyhow so you should be able to hit that by grabbing mods from other characters. You'll do fine! Just don't make the mistake I did at first and use Improvise to open ?. (That said, once I started using Hero Finn instead of regular Finn, I made that mistake again because I was tired and was able to clear even after R2 got countered to death.)
  • also forgot to write that r2 and c3po was only g12 for me and won even in t2, other characters are g13 anyway because rey prerequisites, you only need to pay attention to speeds
