I've got Emp g11, Tarkin g8, Stormtrooper g8, Magma g7 and Snowtrooper g7. Is it possible to finish with this team? I'm feeling a little hoodwinked. The sell packs for toons that have abilities that are useless at tier 7 i.e. Tarkin and Magma, with no TM reduction
Took me probably 10 tries, but I got it with
Palp (l) g10 85
Vader g10 85
Tarkin g9 85
TFP g8 85
RG g8 85
You absolutely want to use palp as leader, because they are immune to vaders tm reduction. Plus his auto debuff against rebels comes in real handy.
In the end, it was just palp against raid han, and eventually burned him down. I only succeeded when I took R2 out first. His stun and improvise are killers if not controlled.
I beat it with level 85 characters:
Palp lead t8
Vader t8
Tarkin t8
TFP t8
Magmatrooper t7
Level 7 abilities on everyone but Magmatrooper, he had 5/6 abilities. Maybe 2 or 3 omegas. Had to steal my arena mods from my droids. Had to try it like 10 times. When their opening salvo all targeted magma, Chewie didn't taunt and R2 didn't stealth i was able to beat it.
Seems like i had lower gear than everyone else who posted. I got my tfp up to a 240 speed with crit damage set and triangle. He was totally my mvp.
I tried for hours doing what everyone says. Killing Han Solo first. Could kill Han, Leia and Luke. After that I would die very fast.
I decided I was sick of R2 stunning palpetine and taking so many turns. Killed R2 first, Han after. Had Palpy, Vader and TFP left with almost full green health after I won.
What works for some isn't what's best for everyone.

R2 was my first target from the start, though i killed Han first with Vader's Saber throw. Every other attack besides that saber throw targeted R2.
None of them had anything special for mods. What put me over the top was that I moved 3 +30 speed arrows from my R1 arena team to Tarkin, TFP, and EP, Omega'd EP's stun, and used auto for the battle. Took two tries to get it done. Had some good RNG, but the keys were getting TFP's buff immunity to hit along with having Tarkin dropping his 2x debuff. Follow that up with stuns from EP, additional DOTs from Vader, and TFP's basic then hits like a truck. My Snowtrooper is pretty terrible. He was only there because he was my 5th 7* Empire character. He is super slow so his only use for me for the event was to serve as cannon fodder.
Hope you can get him unlocked at 7*. Good luck!
PS - Forgot to mention that focusing R2 first seems to help as well.
I managed to do this with g10 palp/ vader , g9 tarkin/tfp, and gear 8 snowtrooper. So no tank and I didnt use any of my main mod sets took about 10 tries to get the rng on the stuns
I did it with
Palp (L) g8 Lvl 85
Vader g8 Lvl 85
Tarkin g8 Lvl 85
Shoretrooper g8 Lvl 85
Deathtrooper g7 Lvl 85
They all sub par 5 for level 12 mods. Don't believe a single on of the mods had a speed secondary. I focused on R2 right away. I used saber throw to take out Han. Then made sure R2 stayed shocked.
How the kittens are you supposed to beat the end team? They have 6 turns before I get a go and what's left of my squad, usually I'm two down by my first attack, hardly dent them.
My team are all gear 8 with mods. Clearly I can't get all to tier ten this event cycle so that means I can't complete the Luke event either!
Brilliant.
What leve toons did you guys have to complete the event?
85 G9 EP (L)
85 G11 Vader
85 G8 Tarkin
82 G9 Stormtrooper
85 G9 Snowtrooper
Beat it on my alt account with the squad G10-Palpatene/TieFighterPilot, G9-Vader/Magnatrooper and G8 Tarkin. Keep trying OP. Use your best mods. Eventually you'll get it.
From the experience of those that completed the tier 7 challenge for 7* R2, is there a mod setup which would make a difference to help complete the tier?
If it's specific to the characters I'm using, I have the following available for the challenge:
EP
Vader
RG
Snowtrooper
TFP
Tarkin
All are in the g8-10 range, lv7+ abilities, and access to various 5-pip mods. I'm having difficulty sealing the deal and figure switching the mods up might help but not sure which? Also, I should be able to turn Vader into Zader before the event is done or/and get General Veers into the similar gear/ability/mod level as the rest, if it will make a difference?
So originally tried tarkin lead (lvl 7 so no zeta) for kittens and giggles to try it out...got absolutely demolished lol, swapped to EP and 1 shot it. Tarkin and RG have 0 mods on them vader and ep are my 2 strongest toons respectively so they were the last 2 alive.
Used my initial turn to load up as many debuffs as possible throughout their team, really helps TFP turn into a monster. Mine ended up hitting for about 18-20k on a basic attack crit, and he is modded poorly atm. But the debuff stacks not only help vader, but tfp hit harder. If you guys are stuggling I suggest that, as well as if possible shock as many of them as you can. EP going often helps a lot with his aoe stun chance plus a key offense up followed by a round of debuffs/culling blade (unless all you can hit is R2) you can almost guarantee a 5v4 next round.
A lot of it comes down to RNG with their initial turns but just have to push through until it ends up in your favor on your first turn, (no stuns, ability blocks on wrong toons etc) you guys can do it!

dont worry about speed too much if you need to swap mods, probably just look for protection. once you get going it should be hard. dont use Snowtrooper use the other 5 should be pretty easy with that setup

Good question. Have you checked out the crouching rancor website? They have a helpful mod chart for every character.
This was my team:
EP (L) gr 10
Zader gr 10
Tarkin gr 8
RG gr 9
TFP gr10
I think the key was to take out R2 first. Then the rest fell. Maybe try that first if you haven't already before you change mods.

I did it with same team but even lower gear levels. Focus down r2. Maybe add a bunch of protection and defense to RG so he can sponge up some damage otherwise it's just rng. Took me 25+ tries.
Zader, palp, tarkin all maxed gear, and their speed around more than 200. Beat it first time.. i learned i'm not genius, it's my squad that overpower. Now i'm regret it for play it too fast bcause i can't play that again

What leve toons did you guys have to complete the event?
I tried it 10 times today. I had EP G10 (L), Vader G10, Tarkin G9, Tie Pilot G8 and RG G8 all with low to mid teir mods and I finally got lucky with rng and beat it. Keep trying.
This was a tricky event! The resistance to turn meter reduction in tier 7 got me to swap Zader for EP as leader. That was a mistake!. Zader lead was key to my eventual victory, as the permanent DOTs made all the difference. The dots are slowly grinding all enemies down as they all take like 3 turns in between your every turn.
Here is my underpowered squad:
Squad power: 69 856
Zader and Tarkin gear 10
EP, TFP, Magma gear 8
Magma is just in there cause he's an easy farm. He works as dead weight/punching bag for stunners and heavy hitters. RG will fill his position well (better, really).
Strategy-wise: RNG is your friend.
If Han/R2 is stunning someone else than Magma - restart.
If Old Ben is ability blocking Zader/Tarkin/EP - restart.
Make sure Zader is landing his dots, otherwise, restart.
Target order: Han first, then Leia, R2, Luke, Old Ben, Chewie - if you can choose. Most of the time, R2 will direct who to target, and you'll have to roll with it. Again, RNG plays a huge part in this event.
Like I said, this event was tricky, and my squad was sub-optimal. But after an hour of trying I could unlock that 7* R2, and that made me very happy indeed
Good Luck!
Im so glad someone got through it with this team as this is the team i have built for this event with all toons around the same gear level. I just need tarkin at 7* now to finish it. Only 60 shards to go and 3 days to get it
I don't remember what setup I used the first time round but I was close to g8 with all toons and 1 scrub, comes down to RNG … I made it down to just r2 at the end with 3 toons left and thought I was good but wrong many times.... keep at it. While trying to raise gear level . Think I did :
Even though the TM is lost on the Zader lead, the permadots are what you want. The DOTs tick on every turn and they take a metric crapton of them. R2 was dead by my third turn and I managed to kill off Ben and Chewie with Zader and Palp.

My problem was that my mod sets don't give high speed, they all hit well enough, just not often enough!
It was hard, but it should be R2 is a great toon, one of the most versatile in the game. He shouldn't be a gimme.
IMHO Luke should be even harder. If I miss out, I won't next time!

It can be done. Soldier on!
