Resistance/Empire/R2D2 Question

IgneoMorte

I'm currently putting everything into a Rey-less Resistance squad. All my gear focus is on them. R2D2 will be my 5th Resistance (no Rey wanted).

Since I am focusing on Resistance, I'd rather not put much more into empire in order to unlock R2D2.

My empire Squad will be 7* the next time R2 comes around.
They are:
1) Zader (L); G11; great mods
2) EP; G11; great mods
3) Tarkin; G8; lackluster mods
4) Magmatrooper; G8; lackluster mods
5) Tie Fighter; G8; lackluster mods

For my empire squad, I'm planning on replacing Magma with Thrawn next time Thrawn event comes around. So, I'd rather not put anything else on Magma.

What should I put into Empire for the next R2D2 event?
Or, will my current squad, with maxed Zader and EP, be good enough?

Edit: all empire characters have all maxed, non-Zeta, abilities

Thatnis likely good enough if you move arena mods to them for the fight. Royal Guard isn't a bad character to have online if you wanted in place of magma.

R2 will probably be back before Thrawn.

Gear up tfp, and you should be good.

I'm curious how strong an Empire team has to be to 7* as well...what about:

EP G10 (L)
Vader G8
TFP G9
DT/Tarkin G8
RG G8

That squad is good enough. I did it with EP 10, V 9, RG 8, Magma 7, and Tarkin 6, IIRC.

Small correction; here's my post from the first R2 event with the actual team comp:

I cleared 7* with G10 EP, G9 Vader, G9 RG, G6 Tarkin, and G7 (but level 65) Magma.

I could almost clear it without worrying about mods. EP was the only toon with mods because he's been on my arena team for a while. Once I temporarily redistributed my other arena mods to the other toons, it was easy enough. I had the credits and mats to raise Tarkin and Magma to G8 (and Magma to level 85), but was trying to avoid having to use them.
