Offense and Speed Mod Challenge Difficulty

Just wondering here, has anyone been able to 3* the offense or speed mod challenges with anything less than 5 7* g9+ fully modded FO or Resistance toons? If so, please share how you did it.
I've tried countless times with both of these, and both challenges are basically the same in terms of what enemies you face, and Rey is the final boss for both because why not make it even harder. Every time I try, my weakest toons get targeted down first while the high gear ones never take any hits until the last node or so. I've got Rey, Phasma and Kylo maxed or near maxed from both factions, and the rest of them (both FO and Res toons) are roughly g8 5-7* and 5* health mods.
The only way I can see myself completing either of these challenges 3* is if I have a full team of 7* g9+ with how hard I get hit, but it's simply not possible to invest gear into each of these 10 toons (combined) and still try to be competitive in arena, let alone get enough gear pieces fast enough on a FTP budget.
Tips? Help? Criticisms? Call me a noob? I'm obviously doing something wrong and need some guidance here.
Edit: BTW my Rey is 230 speed 2900 physical damage so I think she'd be able to solo this with a decent supporting cast...

FOtp, resistance pilot, resistance trooper are all great dps. Pretty much a kill dangerous foes and use taunt when needed (for resistance), resistance are slightly easier because u can taunt to save low hp toons.
You probably just need to gear up another dps some to 3* this. ie fotp and resistance pilot
All toons are 7* but FOO, he's also the only g7 toon in the group. I did have all health mods with high protection secondaries on the low health toons and was pretty lucky, Rey's flurry brought FOO deep into red because I had offense down on her.
In general I would say with all 6* or 7* and level 70+, g8+ you should be able to clear at least if luck is on your side. Just make sure to give hp to those who need it and give crit damage to Rey and FOTP to get rid of opponents faster
The worst decisions I make in Swgoh are done before I have my coffee. I fully understand this.
I have three starred both at tier four. And basically agree completely w your post. No way on hardest tier till maybe I have a maxed Finn. That will be in 2 years. They are too hard. Only thing missing in your post is that it will also take RNG.
I just swapped all my mods of my arena team for tier 3 then swapped them back... All the mods were health ones at the time..
you can do it with Resistance squad power 32k+ (Or 30k pre-mod). I had :
3x7* + 2x6*,
3 gear 8 + 1 gear 9 + gear 10 Rey
Level 65-70, only Rey @ lvl 80
Effectively all you need is a stun on Boss Rey. Check 2nd special ability of Finn, put potency mods on him and you'll be fine. Potency on "exposers" helps immensely too.
Haven't done Offense (First order) yet, as my FOO is low gear.
The first order one is much harder to 3 star. Will have to get FOST to g9 (all others are g10+)
maxxed rey, gear 9 6* poe lvl 73, gear 8 7* resistance pilot lvl 65, gear 8 5* finn lvl 65, gear 8 5* resistance trooper lvl 64. they all had mods of differing tiers.

jawas with this
Still working on the offense mod challenge

For resistance, it's similar except Rey is g10, Poe Finn g8, RP RT g7 or so because of holo projectors, but they also have my best h/p 5* mods to help them survive...help it did not.
Yeah that's just disappointing the jawa one is sooooo much easier when offense and speed are so much harder.
a guildmate said he had an easier time with offence than speed, but hes a whale so he has them all maxxed

So at least it's doable with g9s lol. I still don't like how they made Rey the boss for both challenges, esp the resistance one. No reason why the resistance would fight Rey with Rey.
The * rating doesn't really matter for me, but my mods are very good on all of my resistance and FO toons, so that is also not the issue. The issue is how much gear they all need, and how I can't afford to put such important gear items on the lesser toons since we're so strapped for gear.
i was going to bring them to gear 9 since rey would him them in the last phase but i got lucky and she hit finn bringing him to yellow, so i was able to 3*
Poe gear VIII lvl 80 7*
Res Pilot gear VIII lvl 80 7*
Finn gear VI lvl 68 5*
Res Trooper gear VI lvl 67 5*
Put my arena mods into them, took 2 tries to 3* the final challenge
I used nearly the same geared team here and not even close to ever 3*ing
What gear did you have? I just can't seem to 3* or even come close without having all g9 guys, despite my max mods on them
I threw "junk" mods on them (leftovers) and although these are decent sets, mostly health and defence (so nothing zany like potency set on Kylo Ren) I get absolutely mashed. Clever AI though - every time, FOST gets singled out and targeted, then FOO, then randomly the decent ones. I cleared it, but only 1* as FOST and FOO had been downed.
My next step is to put my arena team mods on them and try it that way. But I had no problems with the Rebel, Empire, Jedi and Scoundrel ones.
That's pretty much the same team I run but I have arena-worthy mods on them and it makes no difference. The AI still targets the weak ones first and Phasma is rarely ever touched until she's the only one left.
No idea why this one is so much harder, but the only way I can see myself completing it is to take each toon to g9...
Offense was a different story. Tried with three lvl 80 toons: FOTP G11 7*, Phasma G10 7*, Kylo G9 7* and two lvl 70 toons FOST G7 5*and FOO G7 5*. No problem with passing the challenge but only 1* - FOST and FOO were always focused first and they were usually dead in round 3/5. I hoped to do 3* without upgrading them to G8 or G9, but I believe it is a must for them to survive
Yup I've got all FO ones up to g8+ and the weakest are always targeted. Yes I can beat it, but no where close to 3* as well.
