Just beat 7* Thrawn with this G8 Phoenix team. Just in case someone is looking to see if it's possible to not sink 5 stun guns into them lol
Hera (lead) 85 G8-omega leader
Zeb 85 G8-omega unique
Ezra 85 G8-all omega's no zeta
Kanan 85 G8-omega unique
Chopper 85 G8-omega taunt/unique
I put my absolute best mods on them. Here were the final important stats:
Hera: 195 speed and 51% potency
Zeb: 180 speed and 55% potency
Ezra: 210 speed and 186% CD
Kanan: 140 speed and 48k H+P
Chopper: 226 speed and 48% Potency
Auto-basic until the last round. This ensures all cooldowns are ready and it lets Ezra power up over the first 3 phases.
Kill order was: Deathtrooper, deathtrooper, stormtrooper, commander, commander, Thrawn.
I did not attack Thrawn at all until the end. His counter does too much damage. I focused on one person until they died.
Taunted with Kanan right away so he got fractured. Then put back up plan on him to bring him back. If anyone got weak I would toss the taunts between Kanan and chopper. Ezra hit Thrawn (while exposed from Hera) for 17k. That really brought him down fast. And the winning shot was an assist by chopper on a Zeb basic. It was poetic.
Hope this helps! I can answer any questions if you have them

I did beat it too, without any God Mods, this event is super cool, it actually takes some strategy to beat it, not just raw power as everywere
I tried every single combo, all g8 except ezra g10, i couldn't beat it
Took 2 tries.
Edit: I used Sabine instead of Chopper
What really helped was the strategy. I was going for the healers first, which allowed the Deathtroopers to pound me. Once I got them down it was easy. Lost Kanan midway through because Backup Plan was 1 turn left on its cooldown, but these things happen.
I went back and spent my saved up omegas on everybody’s unique ability, and then tried again. Beat 7* on my first attempt. So the unique omegas did the trick for me. Glad I didn’t waste any more omegas.
Edit: do you think lvl 80 or lvl 85 makes a difference?
Thanks champ. I had considerably better geared and modded toons than you and I struggled over 30+ battles for no result.
Albeit it was a close thing, I made it using your advice.
i had nearly full protection on every toon at the end of the battle.
don't give up people.
lol wearysike i didn't want to share that strategy lol when i saw your post i was like you think exactly like me
Even with 200+ speed on my characters, Thrawn and the Deathtroopers go before me everytime and Ezra gets focused down instantly.
I got same problem , then i read this post and Found chopper high speed high potenty, so i took the mods from poe and got chopper speed 249 pot 51%, so he can debuff the **** trooper taunt first . So try to approah the stat of the guy who made this thread and follow the recipe , i finaly 7* him only after doing what i read here
To 7* the thrawn event do I need to omega all Phoenix uniques? I can afford 4 I believe by the end of it- if so whose Abilities are the most important in order please, I'm also using chopper instead of Sabine
Chopper, Zeb, Kanan and maybe Ezra/Hera's leader
Sorry for my English :]
Well my Ezra is g10 as I use him in arena and all abilities are already 7* no omegas so out of the two (Hera lead or Ezra unique) which is more useful?
I think Ezra's unique is better, because that offense boost is good
Sorry for my English :]
I doubt it, Zeb and Chopper are really important
Sorry for my English :]
Chopper is key for his dispell and health regen, which gets shared with everyone. And if you omega his unique then he has a 30% chance to assist when another Phoenix uses a special ability. And because his basic has a 50% chance to reduce an allys cooldowns by 1, it keeps the whole team rolling on.
But as has been said the trick is smart use of the dispels from chopper and ezra and also having zeb daze/stun and stagger the proper targets. Remove the taunt from stormtrooper, daze/stun one DTrooper while dispelling and taking down the other. Once the one DTrooper is down you can have zeb work on daze/stunning Thrawn while killing the second DTrooper, then Stormtrooper, then commanders. Don't forget to use stagger on stunned targets so that someone can remove their build up TM and keep them stunned that much longer.
