Dear EA, with introduction of Phoenix zeta abilities, you have given a clear insight of what should we expect when the Thrawn finally arrives. Given the increase in power of phoenix squad you have proportionally increased the difficulty of the Thrawn Event, while keeping it as a "secret", or let me say other words "as a natural flow of things." To explain to the players, "what you have had to face last time as tier 7 Thrawn, now we have to face as tier 6 Thrawn, while new tier 7 Thrawn is a complete rework.
The community is divided into people who claims to be beatable with G8 + good mods and majority who can't even scratch the surface of wave 4 tier 7. The truth is in the middle. People who face the Trawn for the first time now, are able to beat it, with G8 + good mods, and the certain entity who plays on "Android platform", while for 90% of us it is only a dream. Why is that so? The game isn't the same for everyone, simply, ask yourself how many people do you know that has a broken GW node 12. I know that all popular youtubers, and I am calling them out, AhnaldT101; MobileGamer; Warrior Presents; Smithie D..... has a broken node 12, and what they have to face as node 11, I have to face as node 6. The calculation is simple, I lose 400 GW currency + x shards + x crystals every day, because the game does not treat everyone in the same way. The same can be applied here in Thrawn event, the game does not treat everyone in the same way, regardless of how obscure this may sound.
I know that someone will say, I managed to beat it with g8 + good mods, but instead of just jumping in threads and claiming that, why wouldn't you do us all the favor of recording that, iOS 11 has a built-in function to record the screen, for the example. That would be very useful.
General tip: Make sure Ezra goes first and use Flourish ability to take down ST taunt and critical damage immunity. Then take down DTs keep Thrawn stun, kill the rest and finally Thrawn himself and then wake up.
I would be very surprised if you actually do something about this, but I expect the same thing to be applied to CLS and R2D2! So, people, better prepare yourselfs. Without G12 + Zeta on the Old Ben, you want be able to pass Darth Vader next time for the reasons unknown.

I hope that it isn’t made easier, legendary characters should be a challenge and it was ACTUALLY FUN to not have an event I put on auto and walked away from because of how easy it was (looking at you, BB8). They got this one right with the exception of the original rollout and making people basically pay to get Phoenix unlocked in time, by the event itself was fine. I’d argue that tier 5 and 6 should be a lot tougher, too.
Challenges are good. If you can’t beat it, try to watch others and read and experiment and figure it out. It’s clearly doable.
Good job, devs.
What do you mean with Android God mode users?
Sorry for my English :]
You can continue to whine and spew excuses, it’s pretty funny actually, but I play iOS and did it without hacks or cheats or bug exploits. And I did it TWICE.

Methinks you need the tips if you aren’t beating it. If you don’t want them from me that’s fine, but maybe listen to someone else and learn.
The only thing wrong is whatever you’re doing lol
Clearly.
What bug? (Sorry, I don't know what bug are you talking about)
Sorry for my English :]
I did get a video to share with my guildmates on line chat btw. I kept getting distracted during that attempt though, so it ended up being 7mins 11secs long & 748mb, which was too large to share that way.
With regards to the apparent changes they've made to the Thrawn event, what was the point in making the last tier harder when literally no one is going to have the zetas on them for this event? It's silly that they're hiding these event toons that are practically essential for endgame activities behind a zeta wall.
*Side note: I managed to complete the R2 event, tier 7 with G9 Vader and EP, G8 GMT and TFP and G7 Magamatrooper. No zetas. Only EP maxed abilities. Considering R2 is needed for CLS I was expecting that to be more of a challenge.
Sabine G9, 210 speed
Ezra G9, 211 speed
Zeb G9, 201 speed
Kanan G9, 178 speed
All Omegas
Thrawn fractures Hera every single time, game over
There is no bug and people aren’t exploiting bugs to beat it. It’s just one of the many excuses the people who can’t finish it are making in order try to to rationalize why they aren’t finishing it instead of getting better at the game.
That's silly if you can't beat it. How long did it take you to farm them all to that gear?

Well you could have better strategy. Chopper over Sabine. Chopper makes them survive so much longer.
This team beat it first try, with VERY good RNG I will admit (Chopper not Sabine):
Edit: actual link to my squad lol
https://swgoh.gg/u/carefuljupiter/collection/?f=phoenix
Hera g9
Chopper g8
Ezra g8
Zeb g8
Kanan g7
All uniques zetas and 200ish speed, except kanan 168 speed.
Similar to my team. What mod sets did you use? If you load up damage to Ezra Sabine and lots of protection to kanan and Zeb you should be able to do it.
Remember to use kanan taunt and zebs protection up plus retribution. Makes a big difference. And backup plan on kanan.
Protect Ezra and Sabine and then it's doable. Leave Thrawn till last.
"strategy" isn't as strong as you think. I had Ezra at G10 and everyone else G8. I'm an iOS user too. Anymore myths you want debunking while we are here??
Enter battle with a different lead, retreat, re-enter with Hera lead; see thrawn fracture someone else = win.
Let’s stop blaming your inability to adjust on “god” mode android users or some fantasy bug lol.
That's not a link to your Phoenix toons
Sorry for my English :]
There are literally 100s of videos on the thrawn event and unlocking him. Google/YouTube/Siri... these are your friends. Use them.
