Thrawn 7* tier hard? What worries me...

The last round of the event is tough. That isn't a secret at this point.

Thrawn is looking to be leaps and bounds harder than the other legendaries... Once again empire players are getting screwed over. At most it should be a similiar difficulty to R2 who was released barely a month ago. It shouldn't be orders of magnitude harder than the other legendaries that it's been directly compared to by EA.

The last battle is extremely tough. I didn't resort to moving arena mods over but I did have to up the ability levels of kanan and zeb to get me over the top (i originally had them at like level 4 or 3 for the most part to see if my Sabine/Hera/Ezra could carry them .. but no dice).

I ultimately ended up getting past it with:

Hera (L) 85/X/all abilities at 7 or max (no omega)
Sabine 85/XI/all abilities omega'd
Ezra 85/XI/all abilities at 7 or max (no omega)
Kanan 85/X/all abilities between 7-3
Zeb 85/VIII all abilities between 6-3

The battle that I won, Hera/Sabine/Ezra were all still alive and could have lasted a couple more turns. Prior to tweaking a few mods and upping Kanan and Zeb's abilities, I literally died at tier 7 stage 3 vs Thrawn instantly and didn't kill a single toon after like 15 tries (one try I think I killed one of the ST)

Good job @WompWompRat i cant beat tier 5 yet. Ill have to move mods around I suppose.

Thanks man - actually my Hera Sabine and Ezra were all at XI

But yeah, that was extremely difficult. It probably would have been slightly easier if I had chopper at a higher level and moved arena mods over but honestly my mods were pretty decent and shouldn't have required that much difficulty with so many high level toons. Mainly it's because Kanan is useless and Zeb is only useful for his daze, which is very important in the final battle.

The team I used to beat tier 5 was:
Hera (L) 70/ VII/ Level 5 abilities with level 6 leader
Kana 70/ VII/ Level 5 abilities
Zeb 70/VII/ level 5
Chopper 70/VII/ level 5
Ezra 70/VII/ level 5/6.

All of these toons were 5* and had no mods on. I think I only lost chopper in the last round because I taunted just to be safe.

It scares me how I beat 7* of the palpatine event with gear 7, level 75 rebels with 1-2 dot mods and the 17 speed arrows while I'm hearing thrawn will just completely destroy the Phoenix squad. Am I missing something here?

When Emperor's Demise was added, the level cap was 80 and most characters didn't have a gear tier 11.

It was a pain, but I finally got it last night. 7*. GXI Sabine, GVIII Hera, Kanan, Ezra, and Zeb. Omegas on at least half of the abilities. Mods from my two arena teams on all but Zeb who got Poe's HAAT mods. Speed from 80-50ish. Took a bunch of tries last night, over 10. Kanan and Hera were just hanging on, Sabine completely full. Taunter first, then DTs. Assist moves called Zeb to stun Thrawn. Hera revive on Kanan who taunted early. Killed Thrawn last.

I think Legendary Events should get harder as the game "levels up". Palpy was released when the level cap was 75, I believe. It wouldn't be much fun if new challenges were only challenging to newer players.
