Well the time has come. US will be entering the challenge in 2+ hours. Many are on the edge thinking what it will take to unlock the legendary admiral at 5*, 6* or 7*. Let's share what it will take to get the job done. RNG will for sure take great part in it, so getting input as to what most favorable RNG might be will be priceless to many players out there.And remember, does not cost a dime to share. Good karma goes around and comes around...

Well looking back u might be right, time conversion issue lol. But nonetheless sharing will be very important if u want to do unlock efficiently. Europe and Asia will start in 8 hours or so, and hopefully get some input to you guys. Although sure some sill stay up until late in US as well. I am ready but wonder if 7* unlock will be coming up. All toons 7*, Ezra and Sabine 85 g11, Hera 79 g9, Kanan and Zeb 74 g8. Can do much better than that but want to actually find the point of lowest resistance, just for the heck of it and benefit of the others that might not have gear/credits ready. All toons for now are for now like +80 speed, most protection moded, Sabine double cd, ezra cd. Can up the mods as well, but probably will not unless it gets really ugly lol.

Everyone is in 8hours. It's a universal launch. I'll be staying up to complete it to 6* tonight and hopefully 7* by the event's end.

One of the reasons I started this thread is that my crystal ball is telling me it will not be enough. Past is past when we could unlock yoda and ep @70 and g8 lol. I expect this to be a much more demanding event, but hope I am wrong lol and this thread gets voted as most uselsess in history of the forum.

That was brutal. Since then, they have been easy in comparison.

i am aug 2016 player so probably got to the soft version... link to profile below. but seriously we need to focus on the upcoming event and share our teams and experiences. Lots of gear at stake as well as credits to gear them Phoenix up. https://swgoh.gg/u/vladtheimpaler/

5* seemed really easy at gear 8
6* is not possible

It seems 7* may not be doable at gear below 9....

I cleared Tier 6 with:

Level 85, 7 star, gear 11 Ezra
Level 75, 6 star, gear 8 Hera
Level 77, 6 star, gear 8 Sabine
Level 72, 6 star, gear 8 Kanan
Level 74, 6 star, gear 7 Zeb

Tier 6 was pretty easy. Ezra and Sabine did most of the heavy lifting.

Everyone 5* and gear level 8 (chopper sat out) & everyone was level 65. Unlocked thrawn without losing a single character and most still had protection when it was all said and done.

Mods: I used the suggested mods for each pheonix member but I don't believe any of them were maxed out surprisingly.

Stragety: lol what stragety? I've always been a fan of the pheonix squad and I saw the great potential they have as a group. Hera being able to share everyone's unique is really what saved me.

Advice: If you don't want to pour all of your resources into this team (or if you're lacking as I kinda was) definitely focus on leveling up their unique abilities, as it is the saving grace for this squad.

Thx for the tip! I will level their unique abilities asap :)

I unlocked 7* without Chopper. Would have been much easier with him. Level 80, G10/G9, decent mods.

I'm lvl 78 and have all around 15-25 of 6* and gear8. Hopefully have to 7* gear 9 by events end. I hope it will be enough because as a smaller player I just don't have the resources to get that many past gear 9

You're not a smaller player, you have them at 6*!!!
I'm barely getting Sabine at 5* (Need 25 more shards so gonna refresh it all with crystals)

Lol you don't have the resources yet you can still star them up...

Gear 8 should be fine, I got 7* palpatine with gear 7 level 75 rebels

Wow - crazy mods or no?

Super lucky RNG

I was using 1 and 2 dot mods back then lol

I had 17 speed arrows for my toons tho!
