Nervous about thrawn event

I refuse to go another 3 months without thrawn where I will be at a point where I’m reaching epic amounts of galactic power around 2.5 mil and still lack the synergy that thrawn provides to my empire team. With 30 days to go will I make it to 7* without hours of RNG waiting to win or am I doomed to suffer the embarrassment of a lone 6* thrawn that gets picked on in arena. Not ready yet but my plans to get there include throwing whatever omegas I can afford onto my pheonix team after I use 2 on my fleet captain (last 2 needed) but then I need 8 omegas to max out both basic and unique on all toons an epic 10 omegas in 30 days seems not possible and hope not needed. I also plan to lvl all toons up to 85 in next credits heist ( should reach lvl 85 by that time smh) and utilize and credit heist after for mods. I have currently a collection of arena speed mods to cover 2-3 toons. Tenacity mods not upgrade most and have potency mods on farm. Have a potency cross with speed that I can slice up while I farm mod slicing during this event. My next plan of mod farming including maybe health mods with protection stats working for tenacity stats and speed on them too if I get good ones. Am I on the path to success or failure honesty is appreciated bash me for being a horrible player even if rules r violated just need truth the not knowing is killing me lol. Link to account https://swgoh.gg/p/285824638/ also only requesting MK6 hypo syringes each day need 200 at the moment for 100 for fleet 100 for chopper + eraz to g8

But I'll bite:
-Speeds are atrocious. Chopper should be 200+, Ezra and Hera around 170-180, Zeb pushing 150, Kanan doesn't matter. He's a lead balloon. But ideally get him up to say 120-130. Anything more than that is gold.
-Gear needs to be minimum G8 with G9 Ezra unless you want to try it for a solid week for RNG or have absolutely ludicrous mods you can put on.
-Go with the recommended mod sets in-game, focus on secondary speed and protection. The only character I would mod against the recommends is Zeb. The game says CD, I say go 4 potency, 2 health. Potency on cross. You want him up near 70% so he's stunning key characters that are dazed, staggered or exposed.
The mod req depends on the gear you have. A good rule of thumb is g7, arena mods, and amazing rng; g8, arena mods and decent rng; or g9 or higher, decent mods, and decent rng.
So my advice, farm the best mods you can. You should be doing this anyway. Speed secondaies are the most important. Other stats are ok but if they are fast, you'll do fine. Gear the all to g8 and Ezra as high as you can get. Ezra has late game viability so gearing him isn't a waste.
Then when the event comes, try it and if yoy can't beat it with the mods you have on them, switch to your best mods. If you do that, you'll be fine.
What if Ezra is G10+ and others are G9 and speed is higher then you recommend ? Is that good enough to get 7* Thrawn ?? Or Palpatine ?
You can also save the gear needed for ezra just in case for harder pieces. I know that still means you can't put it on sion or nihilas but there's no way around that. And it's only temporary. Once you unlock thrawn, you can put the extra gear where ever else you need it.
And for pieces that aren't horrible to farm, you'll have a week from when the event starts to when it ends to panic farm gear if you don't want to save it.
You don't need to Zeta anyone, but everyone should be level 85 and full Omegas.
@Killerincho, yeah if you're G10/G9 with better speed then you'll be fine, obviously. I onlyrecommended pretty much exactly what I used and I cleared 7*on the first try, and again on the Mythic Tier 1, first try. So it obviously works.
Basics:
Hera, Ezra, Zeb, Chopper - +speed arrows
Kanan - protection arrow with ideally +13-15 secondary speed.
Hera, Ezra - +CD triangles
Zeb, Kanan, Chopper - +protection triangles
All 5 - +protection circles
Ezra - +offense cross
Hera, Zeb - +potency cross
Kanan & Chopper - +protection cross or + tenacity cross.
Ideally you want 3 "+protection" mods on Kanan and Chopper as they're your taunting damage sponges for the most part. Can also use +tenacity crosses, or a pair of tenacity mods with +protection cross.
Neither jedi or sith are super ftp friendly. But they are about the same. For sith, nihilas and sion are hard node farms. For jedi bastilla is hard node. Gk is slow to get if you're new but so is traya. Gmy and ep are both legendaries. Revan is ftp obtainable by the time he comes back bit by that time you may be able to have traya.
So depends on your preference. Both take some time if you are starting from scratch.
You can't compare the ep team without traya to revan though. The meta ds team is traya and the meta jedi team is revan. Ep with vader is good (I still run it and maintain top 20 or so) but it isn't on the same level as revan. The comparison to that is bastilla lead. Also good but not meta. And bastilla lead is around the same farming difficulty as ep lead with vader.
I usually fracture mt not zombie. But I run sion, nihilas, and ep on the team too. Between the dispels that sion and nihilas bring and the ability to put shock on zombie, fracture is just overkill. And keeping mt from going while you tediously kill daka 3 times is helpful.
If you have the omega on annihilate it prevents revives. It doesn't annihilate zombie but if you annihilate daka or mt it keeps them from coming back. Same for anyone on a revan team. So definitely useful. Just don't annihilate zombie.
Same with DT deathmark
