Ship Challenges - Ackbar Tier 5 - How?

Question

How do you do ship challenges tier 5 for Home 1 (Admiral Ackbar)?
Almost all my LS ships are 7*, level 85 (except as noted), pilots all 7*, lvl 85.
And I still get nowhere with this event. (It is a ridiculously harder than any previous flagship upgrade event.)

Pilots:
Wedge, Bigs G11,
Ahsoka, 5s, Rex G10 (Rex's ship is only 6*)
JC G9
Poe, Resistance Pilot: G8 (Resistance pilot ship only 5 *, level 80) (Poe and RP are level 72)
Ackbar: G10

Strategy suggestions read elsewhere suggested targeting
Ahsoka, Then Rex, then JC(s), then do the clones.

All pilots have 5 dot mods. All abilities at least to level 7.
(Not all omegas filled in).

Who should I use as initial team? What should my strategy be?

I have seen posts of people beating this with fewer stars? What am I missing?

Thanks.

Just keep trying until you get good RNG,it took me about 12 tries to get a good run where none of your ships die on the 1st turn and the AI doesn't call in reinforcements right away

The key for me was taking Rex out before any of my ships died. If I got taunted off of Rex or anyone died before I killed him I would just restart.

Once I got to the point where I actually COULD do that, it only took about 5-10 of those tries to beat it (if the conditions weren't met, it didn't count as a try).

Consulars were next. Ahsoka after that. Clone Sergeants always went last.

The most important is total rng. Just wait until one game where enemy do not call reinforcement at all and you should be able to beat this

Thanks for the perspective. I finally beat it by just retrying. I could probably have beat it a long time ago if I knew that the key was rolling the dice a lot of times, rather than building good characters.

Seems strange that they make it so hard that it isn't feasible to build a team strong enough to beat it. (Especially since the other events were easy to squeak by as long as you had a team that met the basic requirements.)

Its annoying. Set it to auto and target Rex first, then set your phone down and play minecraft. Rinse, repeat. I finished it and found a minecraft stronghold in about 45 minutes.

If it makes you feel any better the 6* challenge is far far easier.
