Pumped! I will have my Phoenix team ready tomorrow so fingers crossed I'll have a 7* Thrawn under my pillow in 24h!!

Also the speed set on Hera wasn't the best for additional speed but it had a lot of added protection and health with the speed, that was extremely important as well to allow her to survive longer, I had issues with her dying to soon.

So you beat me to it. Now I will have to snipe you in arena as retaliation edit my smiley face keeps getting deleted. So just pretend it's here

Thrawn unlocked 7* (bare minimum)

from my guildmates i understand that omega on all uniques and hera leadership is kind of worth 2 tier gear bump. also best mods that you can spare and omegas u can unlock at g/8/9 toon mix with lvl 85 toons. i did not want to do any omegas, so had to go high gear level. so it is kind of proven concept.

Thrawn is in the game now lol anyway:

For those who may be struggling, this post helped me. I couldn't believe the difficulty disparity between the T6 and T6 and even the first 3 stages of the fight v the last stage. RNG plays a HUGE factor. I'd play one time through and wouldn't get a single toon killed, then I'd get to just thrawn making no changes. It mostly seemed to rely on whether or not I was able to counter attack at the start to get the Taunter down fast enough.

As in Arena, speed is the king here.

I ran Zeb (G10), Hera (G10), Sabine (G10), Kanan (G8), and Ezra (G8). My Chopper wasn't ready.

I focused on Getting Sabine and Ezra the fastest I could but keeping them in crit chance and crit dmg sets with CD primaries on triangle.

On Zeb I had a full line up of potency sets with effective health of 55k, 131 speed.
Hera was full Health Sets with EH of 52k, 137 speed
Sabine had speed and cc sets and wound up with EH 37K, 216 speed
Kanan was 1 Health Set and 2 CC sets with EH of 40k, 104 speed
Ezra was CC and CD sets, EH 24k, 212 speed.

I was having to rob mods from everyone in my roster so was just modding up one toon at a time and then testing to see how far I had to go, so that's why Zeb, Hera and Kanan aren't super well modded.

Hope this can help someone else.

Glad to hear this helped, that was my intent when posting it, this event was driving me crazy and I wanted to help others out.

Exactly, I didn't want to invest the omegas but I had no choice at the gear level my Phoenix were at, it was easier for me to use the omegas I had instead of trying to find the endless carbantis and stun guns needed for Phoenix.
