I have biggs and lando at six star with both almost seven star, I will have ackbar and st han at six stars within the next ten days. The question i have is on a final rebel for the Palpatine event. I am level 61 and will be unable to reach the required level 69 to farm cantina for wedge in a viable timeframe. By the time the event starts ill more then likely just be hitting level 69-70. I can farm him in ships shop, but it is random and not guaranteed and i am trying to keep my top spot there by using my shards on ships.
With wedge mostly out of the picture for the next 20 days, bodhi I cannot stand to use, Leia out of the picture due to needing my arena credits to keep leveling ackbar and han, is scarif rebel pathfinder a viable option to get the six star version of Palpatine with a team of lando st han ackbar biggs pathfinder? If I can get them all around level 70 and gear 7/8?

More worth it otherwise, k2 or pathfinder?
I use K2S0 over Scariff. While Scariff is amazing for the Palpatine event because of his revies, K2 forces Palpatine onto him almost constantly. You cannot go wrong with either, but I would take K2S0 if I were you.
I was also going to start on bistan in cantina shop after i finish boba, I'm only 40 shards away from finishing him, is bistan and pathfinder good with their ship? I have no plans to farm cassian at this point, but if pathfinder and bistan have a good ship, that would make my decision much easier as long as they are both a fairly good choice.
Bistan is a great character! He has high damage. However, do not over look Cassian. I use him with K2S0 and he wrecks house with their synergy. Cassian's buffs and debuffs also shutdown the enemy from the get go.
I know k2 is annoying, but running a st han/aoe team i love to see him cause he constantly ends up feeding me tm . Which ship is generally better? Cass and k2 or bistan pathfinder?
K2 and Cassian works better for me.
I'm loving Bistan and wish I could get him to 6* for my EP team - will try (4 star currently). If you run him with Ackbar your team gets so many turns to go.
Their ship has nice utility and you don't see it used often - applies target lock and then stealths, next attack gives tenacity down.
I already have Wedge, Biggs, Lando and Ackbar on 6* (won't get them all to 7 in time) so am currently scrambling to get my SRP from 4.5* to 6* since I think a taunting tank works well in that setup under a Wedge lead. I can run Wedge, Biggs, Lando, SRF and Leia almost all the way through my GW because of the self-heal on crits.
Bistan's U-Wing is decent...gives target lock while stealthing itself, and I believe there's some tm manipulation going on. It's one of my harder hitting ships, but I don't know how much of that is due to having pathfinder at g10.
The squad I used was Wedge(lead), Biggs, Leia, Scarif and Bistan. But since you won't be able to get Wedge in time I recommend Scarif since he can taunt and revives if he dies while buffed
Thanks!
I also have his ship with Bistan. Very underrated, imho. Target lock special ability gives you a practically guaranteed taunt with biggs present, and he stealths himself.

This is making me feel really good about this strategy. I have had a hard time getting target lock down so i can get biggs to taunt. Pretty much as long as I can taunt him, I can beat every team that jumps me in my shard. But such as today, I lost my first two battles going for 1 due to not getting a taunt in time. The third time i won, but since then I already got jumped again. So it's a real back and forth snipe fest.
Is there any other good target locking ships available to the early ship gamer that isn't as long of a farm?
I think that unless you level/gear your squad up beyond the norm, you might find the event a bit of a struggle just because you won't have nearly as much damage output as the typical Wiggs Lando + tank setup. Or even as much damage as Biggs Lando Leia + tank.
Once you use Ackbar's cleanse to get rid of the Emperor's first flurry of shocks & stuns, it basically turns into a damage race against him. Where he still has spammable debuffs and you have none (and no way to remove his from you, once Ackbar's cleanse goes on cooldown).
K2 is really great as a second taunter to Baze for a full R1 team, and he benefits from Cassian's groundwork, For a new player, Daze on biggs plus buff immunity nullifies him.
It just kind of ended up being that. I wasn't expecting the emperors event to begin directly after the yoda event. Han is my arena tank so obviously I wanted to prioritise him at least until i could farm wedge.
It's just how it came to be in a short time period since I joined the game. Pathfinder seems to be the best choice I have for a six star emperor at this point. Directing my farming elsewhere would set other rebels back. If all else fails, rng will at some point be my friend in that battle.
Not that it will help too much supposedly, but i will have lando and biggs at seven stars for the battle.
You can't go wrong with the tie fighters. I use both in my starting lineup. At least 4 of my five battles, one ore both land a target lock on the first attack. Available in GW store and shipments. Can't get easier/quicker than that. FOTP himself, on the other hand.....I'm about 100 days into the game and have farmed his hard nodes every day. I'm 52/65. I might have him finished by Christmas.
