Why is 7* Palp so hard to beat

Why do they make the event so extremely hard, should not you get rewarded by events for playing the game??
I have spend a LOT of money into the game already (e.g. I have unlocked 7* GG), I have 20+ 7* toons, many GL10. I am arena #1.
Now they come around with this event where you need again toons that many dont have leveled up.
So my very good rooster does not help at all, which took a lot a lot of effort (and money) and is now worthless for this event.
I have 5 7* for this event (for which I quickly put in a lot of resources already) and which is the only setup i can use):
7* Leia (G10), almost maxed out
7* Lobo (G10), maxed out
7* Biggs (G8)
7* Hoth Soldier (G7)
7* Hoth Scout (G7)
all lev 80, all fully mod with 5* Mods
Now, I have absolutely no chance to get Palp 7 down with this setup. Light years away.
Which I find ridiculous. Should not events reward you for playing this game?
So now i need to spend again several hundreds Euro just to get the reward for this event because they force again (once more) to gear up toons that I dont play otherwise.
Will they ever stop being that greedy?

Lv up him for the next Palpatine event.He is also very good for credit heist and the other event.
Others may disagree, but I think your team composition isn't quite right to beat the challenge. Are your mods levelled or all sat at 1?
I don't think it was greedy at all, I think it was a good, difficult challenge that had a great reward. You come across (and I apologise if this was not on your mind) as a bit self-entitled; you are not "owed" anything automatically for just playing. I think many of the complainers would do well to remember that, but that's just my opinion based on what I read.
But anyway, enough complainers will ensure Palpatine is nerfed soon enough
Also STH helped a ton as a tank. Not sure about the HRS since I don't have him.
The fight was close but I just focused on the royal guards first, then Vader and the emperor last.
Good luck man, there's still lots of time to get it done.

No Han, no AA or Lando = building the wrong characters for general usefulness in the game. Sorry, but you can't rage at the event when you're missing pretty much everyone that could help you.
For this event I was lucky as already had x3 7* toons and rest were there or there abouts.. for this event I didnt mind blowing a load of resources (not real money) into the event due to the reward, where previously I havent done that (whats point of blowing 3mil credits for a 1mil reward)
The game rewards you for playing... but its a Rebel event... not sure why it should reward those that either havent lvld Rebels or willing to try to
So who decides what a "poor toon choice" is? You? How can you know upfront?
Thats exactly my point, I have many very well build chars but they are all worthless since they force you to use a very limited toons setup for this event. It comes down that you need 1 or 2 specific chars (Lando, AA), otherwise you are screwed. So all my G10/11 chars like GS, RG, Droids (I run a full droid setup), Obi Wan, Yoda, GS, Sun Fac, Teeboo, Ana etc. are all worthless in this event.
I am #1 arena, so my toon choices cannot be that poor. Are you also #1 arena?
Rebels are the easiest to obtain faction in the game, as far as I can tell. The event should be hard. Things are more fun when they are challenging.
1. You dont need Lando to complete event (I used AA, Leia, STH, Biggs, Luke)
2. So you have a set of G10/11 chars yes well done, so do a lot of people, but they also have spent time on other factions.. Im sure if this was droid only event which you could obviously do on auto and someone started complaining but I dont have any droids your first remark would be well Farm them
You do have GG which costs thousands to unlock which means you bought a lot of chromiums which means you should have Lando unlocked.
Everyone on my shard that has GG, got the rest as well.
Or just extreme bad luck?
Anyway you still have time and the event will return. Can't imagine this to be a 1 time thing to let 50% of the playerbase never be able to complete EP.
I didn't get yoda the first time he came around, nothing to be crying about. Also we did know this was coming, we got a heads up.
It's not rocket surgery.
My GG:
My Lando (unlocked today, farming with C energy). I got basically go no Lando from Chromiums.
I do think the Rebels should have unlocked Luke instead but now we know its the opposite.
This game isn't going to reward you for spending money, but when you do it's because it's something you want like a character or gear or whatever.
No matter what now you know what to do for the next time it comes around and if there is a new character you want, go for the opposite stat synergy.
To begin, you are trying to take down a high-level event with 2 characters at G7. Gear level 7 is "token" protection - not even anything practical. You also have one at gear 8. Lobot has very little Rebel synergy (he is better suited for droid teams). So your team is severely under-geared. As an example, the team I used to take down the T7 version of the event also had a Gear 8 Biggs - but he was the lowest (and also, the first dead). I also had a gear 11 STHan, gear 11 Lando, gear 10 Leia and gear 9 Ackbar.
The issues isn't your star level - it's your gear level.
As I mentioned, your team is also not very synergistic - you have Leia to give crit chance up - but no Lando to take advantage of it. You have several good DPS characters, but no tank in STHan to protect them and control TM. If you truly are a whale as you claim, you have Biggs, but no Wedge to take advantage of the synergies between the two.
Money can get you pretty far in this game - but only if you understand the importance of gear and synergy. I presume from the fact that you only have 11 posts and just joined the forums a couple of months ago that you are relatively new to the game (or at least the forums). It might be helpful to go through some of the guides and tips here to learn more about the game then simply presuming that throwing money at it will make you better.

I didn't win when I used Auto. Had to win manually. Kill order was EP first then Vader then RG. I don't remember RG taunting. Scout provided the heavy damage by firing 8k crits at the emperor with his special then being able to fire his primary again.
I honestly found the 7* easier than the 6*. Then again, there was a noticeable difference in 6* and 7* Biggs.
Oh, I didn't use ST Han's taunt.
LOL. A very good rooster is never worthless!
Thanks for the answer, but you did not get the point.
First, I am arena rank number 1... constantly. If - as you say - I don't have a clue about synergies etc, how would I be able to get top tank #1 and keep it? I fully understand the importance of gear and synergies.
My point is that this event specifically force you to have 1-2 specific toons. If you - for whatever reason - did not have build up exactly these chars (here it is Lando in the first place and AA in the second) than you are screwed for this event (or at least it gets very very hard). This is what I do not like, the very limited choices and inflexibility. Why not allow Rebels and Jedis for such an event, giving people a wider range of choices and to not force them to have 1 or 2 specific chars out of the 90 chars this game has.
I play this event with this setup (which is not optimal for sure) since I do not have another choice. You get the point?
I do not focus too much on Rebels, true, since you cannot put endless resources in the game.
I just did it yesterday with:
https://www.reddit.com/r/SWGalaxyOfHeroes/comments/4z0vjl/omega_for_emperor_event_sthwedgelando/
No omegas, c.rap mods except for STH and Wedge where I got my mods from arena (if the best mods were on Lando would be the same).
Your 5th can be anyone, Wedge because I bought aurodiums back in May when I started, but Biggs/Luke/HRS/Lobot will do.
Took me 2 tries, RNG in the 2nd try was perfect... lots of crits from Lando and Leia, and fast taunt from STH.
This is not true i have AA at 6*, you don't need him to beat the Emperor. I guess you've just been so good for so long you forgot about the rest of the characters in the game. No one is sorry that you didn't get Rebels because you decided to go a different way and work up your main squad which helps you in different ways. That's just how the game is just like the Scoundrel event, if you didn't have scoundrels then you didn't get the 1 mil.
Congrats on your 1st place for Arena though! hopefully one day i get there!
First off, finishing first in arena is no great accomplishment - many f2p players can do so with a simple crystal refresh. Whales, even easier, as they can simply buy characters early on that are more difficult to beat (at least at low levels). Citing that as some claim to understand how the game works actually suggests the opposite.
Secondly, the decision to not "focus too much on Rebels" from someone who claims to understand the intricacies of the game is a little confusing though. STHan is one of the top 3 tanks in the game (RG & OB being the others) and Lando is probably the best AoE (although JKA works well in certain setups too) in the game - so choosing "not to focus much" on some of the top heroes in the game seems an odd choice. Especially for someone who cannot put "endless resources into the game" - despite being able to farm a mediocre, but expensive GG.
Yes. I now understand. You spread yourself too thin, focus on Arena success, then took to the forums to complain because you farmed the wrong toons for an event and are upset that you can't auto-win every aspect of the game simply because you spent money on it. I understand perfectly. Thank you for clarifying.
May the force be with you.
