Best Legendary event to date! C-3PO

While being able to auto Tiers 1-6, Tier 7 proved to be a true challenge. Takes RNG out quite a bit and forces you to use more tactics using well timed revives. Not nearly as difficult as the Chewbacca event... this has been my most favorite Legendary so far! Well done @CG_SBCrumb and team! Please pass on to the rest of the developers that this is a win!

    I was only able to beat the first 3 tiers with my junk ewoks, but I am glad to see that it doesn't look like the event is as brutally difficult as Chewie's is at the higher tiers. Looking forward to locking up a 7* 3P0 on the second run, whenever that is.

    Stay tuned for T5, you load in, they attack, 90% of your team is dead. You need strong gearing 5 and up.

    Yeah, I didn't mean it looked easy. Just that it doesn't appear to be like Chewie where even at G12 you basically need to keep restarting until Dengar stealths or it's borderline impossible.

    There of course is a small measure of RNG, but the key is keeping Elder alive for all the revives. Call him for assists for lots of TM gain. There's also plenty of videos showing even Tier 7 possible with G8 and up with the right mods.

    It was a fun, albeit a little frustrating, event. I also really like the impressive gold shader they used on threepio. Shiny!

    Oh? Do you have a link to this, please? I fully intend to get them all to g12 soon, but if I can get C3-P0 to 7* now, that’d sure help.

    Second run?

    If your Ewoks are as junk as mine...then it's probably going to be 3rd, or more likely 4th!

    But that's fine with me. I got to Tier 3, and enjoyed it, and got some C3P0 shards.

    So...all good :)


    Now, do I invest hard into Ewoks? Maybe...still undecided. Never much fun playing catch-up if you're f2p...but I'll see how he pans out and give it some thought :)

    All guild, guild event, and shard shop currrencies get used for g8-11 gear. Tag each character as a favorite so you know what you need to reach the next level, then buy it. Save crystals to pick up raid gear since that can be a real bottleneck, but just keep plugging away.

    It actually helps a little to do a bunch of characters at once so you can stockpile the mk6 droid callers and mk4 bacta gels and what not.

    Got 7* after 3 or 4 retries with G11/11/11/9/9.

    My G11 wicket (modded for speed) was hitting for like 12k IIRC.

    All you need is a zeta on chirpa, your best mods, constantly calling elder as assist and have your revives ready.

    Some ewok expert has alrdy proven that they're capable of beating a Revan squad.
    With the introduction of the zetas they became quite a strong force on offense just not as "appealing" as other factions.

    Maybe if you stopped thinking of everything in terms of "high number is good number" you'd realize that they shut down enemy teams with mass daze and repeated buff cleansing, protect their weaker members with targeted stealth, have a really tough tank with a toggle-able taunt, assist all the time, and gain turn meter on top of their higher than usual base speed.

    Nah, it's cool, just keep farming the one-size-fits-all crit damage on crit chance farm and then get really mad every time that doesn't work because they create another Nest or whatever.

    Agree with OP and many here...the event was good fun, and should be considered as model for other such events by the devs.

    No, it's not a pushover, and yes, it requires specific characters. But they are toons that many players have had for a long time, and there have been other reasons to work on (Endor Escalation, for instance...who doesn't like zetas?).

    And on top of that, instead of some other events we've had where you have little choice but to try-n-die a gazillion times until juuuuuust the right RNG allows you to have a chance of winning, this one can be figured out if you pay attention to where you fail the first few times. I made it in maybe 5 tries, and my murderbears are g11 x 4, g9 for logray. Only had Zeta on chirpa.

    Leaves the player feeling like, hey, that was fun, and now I have a great new toon. Instead of frustrated and empty-handed...or successful but exhausted and glad he'll never have to do that again.

    For instance, I have yet to redo the tier-1 Thrawn event...

    Edit: Forgot what I originally meant to close with: Devs, well done. Take some bows.
