4th attempt at Thrawn
Hi All, I'm about to have my 4th attempt at Thrawn in a couple of weeks when he is released again and i wanted some advice on if my current Phoenix team look like they can beat 7* Thrawn. I am willing to put any of the mods i have on my other characters onto my phoenix team but I'm not sure which (if any) are good for the Phoenix team? Also do i stick with Chopper or put a little more into Sabine? Thanks!

When modding them aim for as much speed as possible, Ezra, Hera, Zeb, Chopper, Kanan being the priority order.
Aim to give Kanan as much Health/Protection as possible so he can taunt and take the fracture and Zeb as much Potency as possible to land as many stuns as possible (keep calling Zeb with Hera/Ezra assists)
this was how fast they were: Hera 182, Ezra 214, Kanaan 153, Zeb 179, Chopper 224
Your team will be fine as is. Just throw some good mods on them.
My only rule is I don't Omega +15% damage as THAT is not really worth it until you literally have omegas burning holes in your pockets. So my advice would be DON'T Omega Hera's basic.
Yes, you will beat it this time unless you have terrible mods.
First time i was 76 with Ezra at maybe 9? Could have been 8. maybe 2 were 8 and 2 were 7, zero omegas.
Now, 85. Ezra could be 11 by then, Zeb 10, the rest 9 and all specialed omega'd. I think ezra is only short a zeta and everyone has a total of 2 omega's minimum.
Mods could be faster, but I have a a 242 leia and a 210 R2 to pull speed from
Quite honestly, they weren't my main target in the interim either. I did focus them to omega the shared specials, but that was it. In the meantime i've built up empire and my CLS team. So, if I can do it hopefully on take 2, you should be able to do it on this round.
For 7 star Thrawn you need:
Level 85, gear 8, all abilities omega'd (none zeta'd), and mods that focus on PROTECTION!! I can't stress that last detail enough for you. I too tried the Thrawn event a long while ago multiple times with higher speed Phoenix toons and lost due to not enough protection to absorb the hit of Thrawns Fracture ability. While speed is somewhat important for this event, it's not the most important thing... PROTECTION is. Try getting the mods with a 23.5% protection primary stat. Due that several times and you'll fly by the event with ease. Take a look if you want at my Phoenix toons. (I've done literally nothing to them after defeating the event months ago.) Notice that I didn't use Sabine either.
Forgot to copy/paste that. LOL sorry! Haha
In answer to your question @darthjeary i understand exactly what your saying but I've been focusing on all event characters around the same time as appose to just focusing on one and then moving onto the next. I now have:
CLS 7* (G12, Zetad)
R2 7* (G12, 2 Zeta)
Palpatine (G10)
BB8 7* (G8)
Thrawn 6* (G7)
Ive also been working on my rebel team which i know have pretty much done for the time being once i get Biggs to G12 later today. And my resources have been going into farming Vet Han and Vet Chewie for Rey (JT). I have Vet Han nearly 7* and then need to try get Vet Chewie to 7* before Rey comes back out.
Zeb requires 60% potency. Else you will literally restart hundred of times till the debuff actually sticks. You will want to remove turnmeter on one deathtrooper and stick daze on Thrawn.
Zeb doesnt need g9, as he is a tank without damage (unless zeta'd).
50 - 60 speed mods on ezra/hera and chopper fastest (has high base speed) and its a fly through. I have done it with 76 w/o any omegas and skill mix 3-6. You will do it!
Or should I farm Zeb shards? He is 3 star and the other Phoenix are 6 star plus, and I never had problem with that team to get Thrawn. Thanks
Am I the only one confused by this??? You want to be using omegas on the +15% dmg output skills. Not worthless ones like Chopper's basic. My goodness.
If you're using Chopper outside of Phoenix then yes, omega his basic. Hera is not the damage dealer in Phoenix, so unless you have 5 omegas sitting around and have already Omega'd everything else on the squad, no I wouldn't Omega her basic.
For example, compare Hera's basic to say Zeb or Ezra, or a few outside examples of Ahsoka's basic and FOX's special:
+15% damage for 5 omegas (3-5 days of farming)
Vs
- 40 to 80% double attack chance (+100% damage essentially)
- +30% damage against debuffed enemies
- +15 damage AND +10% heal (Ahsoka)
- +30% damage overall (FOX)
Those are all worth 5 omegas. Personally I think +15% damage should only be 3 omegas as at earlier tiers the same is accomplished with combos of colored ability mats only (1 run on an ability mat challenge).
Idk why you're listing other omegas outside of Phoenix here. This is about the Thrawn event. Chopper's basic gives 10% extra chance. So 50 to 60% chance. Not worth it. I'll take the extra 15% extra dmg that Hera can put out during the event.
Also forgot to mention Kanan's basic which essentially guarantees offence down if your team is hurting, regardless of tenacity.... Easily worth 5 omegas.
We're arguing personal preference, all he's asking for is advice. So we're offering two sides of the same coin.
Personal preference to not waste omegas on abilities that won't necessarily make or break the event, or are an exceptional waste of resources compared to others. I was providing examples of useful/high reward omegas to provide overall guidance on what to spend them on, even moving forward in the game with other toons. That is all.
It's generally accepted that if you have even decent mods, level 80, minimum G8, and uniques Omega'd you should clear the 7* Thrawn. Maybe not easily, but RNG should reward you over the course of the 7 event days.
I know the Vets are a requirement and Rey is an awesome character, but you really need to work on your speed secondaries if you want to improve your arena standing. You have a handful of good mods (including that +20 cross, woot woot!) But, in general, you should be at a minimum of +80 for every arena character.
Better rank means more crystals means more refreshes means faster vets. Just a thought.
