I'm not asking people as of course no one knows but I told myself I wouldn't worry about going turbo on getting Phoenix up to snuff until after R2's event came back.
It has come and gone so I whether Thrawn is coming back this week or in two months, I don't want to get caught with my pants down.
Currently I have all Phoenix toons (aside from Chopper) at level 80, G8 and 7*.
My plan is to bump Ezra and Sabine up to G9 (possivbly Hera as well and trying to ride out the event like that.
Most of the uniques are omega'd at this point and I'm trying to get omega mats to level the rest of their abilities. At around 80 omega mats total, this seems a daunting task.
For those who already have Thrawn at 7*, what do you think recommend i gear my Phoenix squad to?
My mods aren't whale mods per se but they are pretty good. I can do 115+ on one toon and 90+ on the rest with pretty darn good primaries and secondaries.
Advice and thoughts welcome and appreciated!

I don't have a 7 star Thrawn, but I believe I remember seeing that t8 was sufficient.
You can with equipments VIII and good mods, Sabine and Ezra are the most important for damage, so higher become easier. Just need focus to kill the Deathtroopers first, let Thraw to last. Hera, Kanan, Sabine are essential, Ezra for more firepower, so you choose or Zeb or Chooper to the team, i preffer Zeb
I'm still trying to 7* Hera, so I hope it's later rather than sooner.
The rest 7*. Bring on the Thrawn.

Good to know. Thanks! She's my last one left to finish starring. Gear is still a bit meh on all, and I have no idea how to mod them aside from the obligatory "speed".
Hera G9, Sabine G7, the rest G8.
Might take a few goes but I'll get him.
You'll be fine either way. Level them all the way up and put some mods on. You'll be g2g
Oh also helps if you omega the uniques
Funny. All the other strats I read said it is much easier with Chopper than Sabine. Using him instead makes it doable at lower gear levels than with Sabine.
I guess some people get too fixated on damage over survivability though.
Many players did use Chopper instead of Sabine, mostly because she's quite a pain to farm i guess. Sabine isn't mandatory at all, Ezra is (and he's way easier to farm too). Sabine's unique won't help you that much cause every other Phoenix deal really low damages, even with more critical.
One only needs a well modded/geared Ezra. Plus Chopper brings a lot of survivability to the team.
zeb is key, even at g8.
Instead of wasting gear on them, I'm spending the crystals to farm speed mods for the next month, hoping I can complete the event with my arena mods equipped.
I have no interest in Phoenix at all, will never use them after the Thrawn event, so I don't want to gear them
July was emperor, august was yoda and june was yoda too, so not likely one of those will return soon, R2 event was just there while thrawn was unannounced with 2 weeks of farming instead of 4 so i think they will bring back thrawn because not many people got him. Otherwise R2 I suppose.
You must have missed the announcement that Yoda and Emperor trade off month after month. In other words, Emperor will be September, Yoda will be October, etc, etc. The ones that have random timetables are Thrawn, R2, and CLS.
@Stratos R2 came back in 2 months, not 4. June - Aug is 2 months.
Thrawn will almost certainly be back in either September (for premiere of new Rebels season) or October (because that will be 4 months, and no legendary event has ever taken longer than that to come back).
@Woodroward
I guess the disparity between the title and what I wrote is that my speculation is that it will be sooner rather than later.
I also heard a rumor that it was coming back VERY soon but it is all hearsay so who knows.
I'm just actively gearing Sabine and Ezra.
Thrawn is already 6* so I will apply the same strategy I used last time as I didn't use Chopper then either.
But r2 was released in May O.o
May-August is three months.
Sabine give 25% critical chance and critical damage for all Phoenix heroes under Hera Leadership, Ezra give 10% extra damage per turn, max 40% after 4 if not defeated so with Sabine if you let all Phoenix heroes with 50% critical chance with mods, Will be 75% critical chance to do 175% extra damage, 241% extra damage with 4 critical damage mods with the middleright with 36% critical damage, sincerely i cannot see why Ezra is more important than She about damage if you have Hera Lead and Kanan unique that let all Phoenix heroes with 70% counter chance.
Chooper let Phoenix recover 15% health at start of turn and 15% protection when receive damage if dont already have protection up, but Thraw have 2 Deathtroopers that do a lot of damage, plus put Healing immunit that make Chooper health recover uselles, plus after the first Phoenix dead, they will put deathmark on the others that Will make them receive a lot of extra damage.
Zeb give bonus max protection 30% of health without omega, 40% with omega, plus recover the 15% at start of turn, double if debuffed, so against the Deathtroopers that put Healing immunit i could be wrong, but seems more interesting than Chooper.
Hera need buff Kanan with Plan B to let him ressurect the first death and keep all Phoenix with counter chance, remember that all Phoenix loose the unique skill of the dead Phoenix heroe.
That's how I feel. Such a waste of good gear and omegas. I'd rather swap in all my best mods, which can then be returned to the useful characters after the event is over.
Also... if you have a phoenix die before the DTs die, you might as well reset, you're going to lose anyway.
ezra's watch and learn comes in pretty handy, so does his dispel. dmg increase on low dmg is not very effective.
This is 100% accurate, tested it in GW. Assuming Chooper is the Mexican Chopper, that is.
I think he is. Hes also the only one thats actually useful outside of Phoenix squad
