So I'm doing the Tier 3 of this event and it is listed as "Hard", but really? Is it to show us how badly Rebels get the crap kicked out of them by the Empire?
If this is supposed to be a learning about the rebels event, could you at least turn up your rebels a bit? Or at the least, let us use our own characters? These characters suck. They're slow and they don't hit for crap. (Or was that really the teaching point?) "Here's what happens when you take a rebel team up against the Emperor and Vader and Thrawn! They get the crap kicked out of them! Tada! Buy some packs of Empire characters....."
Example: My CLS was at full health. The Vader used his BASIC attack and ONE SHOT HIM. Yes, one shot and dead with full health. With a basic attack.
Please turn the rebels up, or let us use our own, or something. Because geeze this is silly.

Feel free to keep your "easy bro!" strategy to yourself. I'm surprised you didn't say "git gud" too. Totally useless comment.
I'm sure I'm not the only one who wishes I could have used my own modded team in this one. Thanks for the positive input though.
being able to use your own toons kinda defeats the purpose i guess. It's also great for players without decked rosters.
Rebels at 1 time were the most op and we all complained and now empire is op, but yet really most toons can be made op. Just rethink strategy (because that's what this game is all about) considering all the mods in the game. 3 of those toons stun. So stun the most op toons first. Use r2 to burn, wait for that to wear off then use mind tricks (this is used to block any taunts). But really again, this is just another thing you don't need to do, to complain about it? Is just silly.
I don't think this event is OP at all, it just needs a different kind of playstyle from what we're used to. I did it first time with all 5 toons standing and only OB lost protection. I'm sure RNG played a role but also you need to play smart. I did this several hours ago now and didn't register it as particularly difficult so I can't remember exactly how it went down but these are the principles I used:
Focusing an enemy down doesn't work because there are too many other threats on the battlefield. I knew that if thrawn, Palp or Vader got to use a special then it was probably gg. Look at the tools at your disposal:
CLS has TM reduction, buff immunity and stun
Han has TM reduction and stun
Leia has stealth to stay out of the way
R2 has stun and if needed can also stealth.
OB has ability block.
That's a whole load of crowd control there. Rather than focusing anyone down, I used the combinations of stun/TM reduction to keep Vader, EP and Thrawn locked down - EP didn't take a turn and Thrawn used his only turn to use the TM swap ability. Vader did manage to get off a couple turns but I remember he used culling blade on OB because he was the only one not in stealth, and OB took it like a champ. I think Vader might have had offence down at that point.
The other main priority is to either use CLS to dispel taunt or prevent the troopers from getting taunt in the first place. I mostly did this with buff immunity but would occasionally prioritise stunning one of them over hitting one of the big 3.
You also need to time the specials - eg there's no point using ability block on a stunned character and it's not really necessary to stun an ability blocked character or one who has a special on cool down.

Huh?
Use han, Luke and r2 to keep palp and thrawn stunned, go after Vader first.... If trooper taunts, use Luke to get rid of it....
I wont say that your strategy was the issue.
But what I will say, is that the event is made to practice strategy. So you might.....want to do that?
I see that you also completed it, congratulations.
I will also say that I beat it on my first try. As did 90% of the people I've spoken to about it.
And now I will say it.
At your next layover, instead of boarding the Complain Plane, board the GitGud Plane.
Prove your 90% statistic. Otherwise, it's just another thing you're pretending to Be Gud with. ;-)
Dude.... You came on here, started a thread about a topic that already had a thread started about it (which included instructions), and then proceeded contest a strip off of the devs for nothing.... You kind of reaped what you sowed here men....
I mean....git better friends also?
