Chimera Event requirements

Skyfrager59

Hi Folks,
Can you guys tell me how many rebel ships (on top of Home One, Phantom and Ghost) are required per tier ?
Thanks in advance

3 i think. but do all 4.

This ain’t Off-Topic. Moving you to Thrawn event subsection (closest to Chimaera).

Skyfrager59

OK so I do not need all 4 of them then. 3 will suffice but 4 would be better.
Thanks !

Incorrect.

Other than Phantom, Home One, and Ghost, you need three of the four remaining ships: Biggs, Wedge, Cassian U-Wing, and Bistan U-Wing. You do not need Bistan if you have the rest.

Key word is "need."

Yep. You don't need Bistan's ship (or Bistan other than for platoons)...

Home One
Ghost
Phantom
Biggs
Wedge
Cassian

Problem is that without Bistan you don't have any reinforcements at all, but I didn't need them to get 5* Chimera. Don't know about 6* or 7* but I'm hoping I don't need them there either.

You only need 5 ships total including home one

No, it’s five in addition to home one (except when the bug was in place).

I guess my question is how good do all these ships need to be for 7*?

I've got a G12 Biggs and G11 Wedge but everyone else is lacking. G8 for my Phoenix and Ackbar, G7 for the U-wings.

Liath

It’s not that hard. You should be fine.

No you're wrong, well I'm not aware of the "bug". and you only needed 4 ships and the capital for a total of 5 the second time it came around

That was the bug, people were able to enter with fewer ships than was required. It needs six in total (including the capital ship) Home One, Ghost, Phantom, and three others. Know this as fact because I had the five small ships ready but was short on Home One.

Darth_cowboy

You couldn't do it because you were short home one , I still stand by what I said. Provide a link to the hotfix and you'll change my mind.

They didn't fix it, they just brushed it off.

Enjoy 8 pages of the bug report, and lack of fix

And I wouldn't have wasted resources on cassians ship if I didn't have to.

Darth_cowboy

Looks like there saying the bug was you could go in with 3 ships I'm saying you could do it with 5 like the event says it needs your telling people they need 6 , either way I'm still right

You are incorrect, and the posts above all correlate with what I'm saying. 1 capital ship, 5 small ships. Maybe people did it with 5 total last time, but that is not the intended requirements.

Final word, related bug post, screenshots showing "x/6 ships required" https://answers.ea.com/t5/Bug-Reports/URGENT-Chimaera-Event-NOT-Counting-my-Eligible-Ships-Properly/td-p/6594013

What is this guy, 12 years old. I’m right, “I’m still right, even though you proved I’m wrong in writing I’m still right”. I get the feeling this cat has never admitted to being wrong in his entire life. It takes 5 + Home One. (Mic Drop)

You're wrong. Please don't spread this false information.

(Also stop this necroing.)

Actually he is right, for the requirements at the time. It's now home one, Ghost, Phantom and one other rebel ship I believe.

Edit: I may be wrong there, thought I had read the requirements had changed but the only thing I could find was that it is now a single encounter rather than waves.
