Chimaera Requirements
CG_CapGaSP wrote: »
  • Requires Home One Capital Ship, Ghost, Phantom 2, and any 3 other Rebel ships.
  • Just as with all other Legendary events, each tier requires increasing star-rarity units.
  • Chimaera can be unlocked after Tier 5 (5-Star units), and yes, tier 7 does require all 7-Star units including Home One.

    The pass may not even be released yet, but I dont even care about the details, I'm just happythat they're finally getting their faction pass. My devotion to the clan is Undying, and I've spent many resources on this faction, only to be disappointed, until now.

    So, I did this, I double zetad ventress, Brought her to gear 12, and topped it all off by using her in arena with some of my best mods. I'm pretty sure I'm the first person to have a g12, DOUBLE ZETAD Ventress (yes I know the massive krakens have her G12, but not zetad :D .)
    Screenshot_20171004-180714.png

    Hopefully this faction pass doesn't disappoint, because there are a LOT of characters (I.E. Raid Han) who could've also used those 2 cuffs and 2 mk 8 biotech implants. (least she didn't need any Carbs or stun guns)

    You know, I'm actually happy that they are reworking nightsisters. I actually started out with farming ventress when I began the game, but then she became so obselete once I passed 800 in arena rank. Hopefully nightsisters will be good after this.

    I have her passive zeta and gear 11. I'd be hesitant to zeta her lead, as Talzin might be released and become the intended NS lead.

    Tbh, when I first zetad Ventress Many months ago, when the rework was stated to be "on their calendar", I honestly zetad her lead by accident... ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ Nothing I can do now, Least It'll have a use in a few weeks.

    Yeah, My full nightsister team at G10 made it to rank 50, then Palpatine came, and Rekt Everything over a year ago.

    Don't want to pop your bubble, but it'll probably be comparable to the General Veers / Trooper rework / new Ewoks. Just sayin' :|

    Tell that to the guy reaching top ten on my shard with those guys under thrawn lead, ahnilates the zarriss teams, and does pretty well against my rebel teams (ironically, I use ventress' dispel to beat that team)

    I guess u guys were listening after all. After all of the announcement today how could one complain? I don't know how but pretty sure it going to start about now. Hats off to u all and whales buy those packs.

    I'm confused about what this means: "Cassian's U-wing - Cantina Battles Shipment Store when Ship feature unlocks.". Is there a new ship feature? Or does this just mean it won't show up I the cantina shop until your account unlocks Ships in game?

    It means it won't appear for you until you unlock the ships feature.

    Don't worry, Chimaera won't help in territory battles anyway...

    And it's rebel ships specifically so take that Rex and 5's!

    This seems like a silly thing to say, but I'm stunned that r2 is coming back this month. We had to wait 6 months for Thrawn's return.
    Thrawn returned in under 4 months. Mid-June to early-October.

    I'm fine with the chimera's requirements.

    I appreciate that CG actually listened and made the unfarmable ships farmable.

    Though now I wonder, is Thrawn's event retuned to require the Phoenix zeta for 7*?
  • Options
    I don't understand why You'd put the ship in AFTER the BB8 event. What was the holdup?
  • Options
    Wow just wow! Phoenix and rebel ships to get the Chimera. I have Wedge, **** and both Phoenix at 7* and geared up are you telling me I also have to have one of the two U-Wings? I worked my tail off and gave up a lot of zetas to get those Phoenix at 7*. This is extremely disappointing if that is the requirement.

    So you can spend more to farm the ship for the inevitable LS/TLJ ship Legendary event. At least they put the ship shards on the same node as one of the crew...

    I don't begrudge other players getting R2, but it seems unbalanced to prioritize some toons. I wanted Thrawn back right away. We had two weeks to farm a whole new faction. No one was "ready" when event dropped. I thought four months? Nope. 5 months? Nope. But r2 again?

    When did June to October become 6 months?

    we needed pheonix for thrawn so it's not that surprising. What im concerned about is how many rebel ships we need as including the ghost and phantom there are only 6 total and one just now is going farmable
