Curious what team I would need to unlock EP...guy on my shard has a level 50 EP and the highest toon in his inventory is level 52...so it must be possible...curious what is the best combo to unlock him.
My characters available for the event are:
https://swgoh.gg/u/rexbigilo/collection/
I have about 10k crystals if it wanted to invest in the packs...a risky strategy I know but based on my toons I wouldn't mind some advice on who I should focus on to try and get the 5* EP?
I'm thinking Lando/Akbar are a must since I have them at 6* i have chirut at 5 star and 4 star Ashoka with heaps of upgrade available ( 180/65) so she should go to 7* yea? I have about 4million credits..and 11k crystals if I wanted to gamble on getting lucky on Baze tho via cards...very risky..
My rebel team breezed thru the first three and hit a wall on T4...is it worthwhile gearing toons to try get it now or better to sit back and wait for the event to come back around.
Thanks

I think he meant 'shards' instead of crytals.
And yes, if you beat tier 5 you will have enough shards to unlock EP at 5*. It is not 25 shards per battle, because 5*25 doesn't equal 145. But, don't worry about the distribution of the shards, just worry about beating all 5 battles. If you don't get there, it won't matter how many shards you got.
My EP is at 100/145..and I'm currently on the T5 encounter.
So if I beat the T5 encounter does that give 45 EP shards? T5 is hurting me bad..but my gear is craps..any advice which squad I should be using to get this over the line?
Yes, T5 will give you enough to unlock EP at 5 stars. It has been too long for me to remember the breakdown, but if you currently have 100, it will give you 45 more.
It is hard to give squad advice without an updated swgoh.gg. Yours still shows only 2 5* chars.
Your gear isn't just crap. It's really worse than that.
Do you have mods on your chars? Since you are at 50, you should be able to equip all your chars with mods once they hit 50. Leveling everyone to 50 and getting mods on them and leveled will be a better use of your credits than almost anything else.
The best use of your crystals is absolutely NOT spamming chromiums and hoping for Baze. You should be buying refreshes and spamming the normal nodes with the gear your need to get everyone to g6 or better. With that many crystals, I would say you might even want to buy the 200 crystal refreshes if you have to.
Run ackbar as lead for the cleanse and the tenacity boost. You might also need to run 3 sets of tenacity mods on him just to make sure his cleanse doesn't get disabled through stun.
If you can increase farmboy to 5* -- and I know others might laugh at me for this -- he actually is not a bad option for your lead. His tenacity increase is huge. When I was in your boat, I couldn't beat t5 with an ackbar lead, but beat t5 and t6 in short order just by switching to Luke.
Play around with different combos, but don't bother until you are sitting near g6 and have mods equipped. Even one dot mods will be a big step up from nothing, and they are very cheap to upgrade.
Because you have limited crystals, going beyond 5* rarity might not make sense. The jump in cost is high as you get closer to 7*, but the increase in base stats don't double as the cost doubles each time.
Also, everyone's abilities should be at least at level 3. You might be bottlenecked on mk3 ability mats, but hopefully have plenty of 1s and 2s to get everyone to 3 on every ability (non-lead chars don't need leader ability upgrades, obviously).
It would really help if you manually synced your swgoh.gg account. It is so far out of whack I can't give any better advice than the above.
Get them to g7, swap arena mods to them, and you'll do fine.
I think you are at the point now where you no longer want chromiums. You already have more toons than you can gear. Use your crystals for energy refreshes for gear farming and maybe even a few full pieces from shipments.
Are you in a guild that does good tier raids?
I was thinking Akbar lead with with k2 lando cassian and Chirrut (or old Ben) should be able to get them to 6 or 7 gs in 3 days or so..
I kinda let my LS fall for my arena team..oops
After doing some reading i dunno whether it's safer to just forget KS and Cassian and run Lando,Akbar, Wedge,Biggs and STH or Chirrut. Would need to invest a bit in wedge and Biggs but (but) from the vids and research I have done it seems they are great around the 50 level and Wedge L with Biggs is supposedly a must for undergeared attempts on EP...can anyone confirm or deny whether Wedge L / Biggs is a better than KS and Cassian at level 50 and GS 6-7? Mainly from a synergy and single target dps perspective?
This would be the team. You definitely want Wedge lead if you have the option. In that case, having Chirut and Ackbar is redundant, and Chirrut is better. But you absolutely NEED to gear them.
Akbar(L), Lando, Old Ben, Han, Chirut. Chirut buffs are a must and I got emperor down to about 25% after burning down the guards...would that be the right strat? Burn guards first like they do in the vids?
I tried Wedge lead but the team felt a bit squishy but he is shockingly under geared...I'll try and gear him better...And let u know how I get on
Final team was Ak50(L), 52Lando, 51 Old Ben, 51 STH, 52 Cherut...Cherut was a total beast amazing how he improves with gear..
Worst you could do is try it. If you can raise them all a gear tier, that will go farther than levelling. Levelling will get you access to improving gear, or higher abilities...but I'd say you're unlikely to omega them. Gear 7 might be good enough for tier 6, but make sure you have mods on them.
