Ok, I called people liars who said they beat Thrawn with gear 8 and for the most part I was wrong. First, my squad. Then, the tactics.
Hera gear 10, 197 speed
Sabine gear 9, 198 speed
Kanan gear 8, 157 speed
Geb gear 8, 180 speed
Chopper gear 7, 227 speed
You guys have probably seen tons of squad lists like that and say "so what, I still can't beat it."
I was there with you. Frustrated, confused. I was seriously going to zeta someone just to complete the event. But then, this happened.
I get to round 4 and everyone behaves totally different than before. I debuff the taunt and the storm trooper never taunts again. The death troopers didn't use their terminate ability even once. Thrawn only one shot'ed the people with back up plan on them. I finished round 4 with my entire squad alive!
The only conclusion I can make is that the RNG gods are real. I know you're feeling hopeless but keep at it and be ready when the subs show up instead of the real Thrawn.
BTW no apologies for calling you liars

My team was no chopper, G10 Hera, and G8 everyone else, omegas on their uniques. I took my mods off my arena team so all of Phoenix was ~200 speed. About 10 tries in I got really close, had all the adds dead and Thrawn down to about 25%. Besides that attempt I was getting stomped every time, but that attempt gave me hope. Took me 2 hours, but I finally had the RNG gods smile on me and I finished him off with 3 toons standing, 7 stars are mine!
Chopper: g8, 14k health, 13.6k prot, 214 speed, 29% potency, 31% tenacity. Speed + pot mods
Kanan: g8, 22.4k health, 14.5k pot, 128 speed, 18% pot, 24% ten. Health + defense mods
Zeb: g8, 18.8k health, 13.5k prot, 165 speed, 61% pot, 23% ten. Health + 2x pot mods
Ezra: g8, 13k health, 13.7k prot, 181 speed, 39% pot, 25% ten. CD + CC mods
Hera: g7, 13k health, 5k prot, 176 speed, 10% pot, 35% ten. Speed + health mods.
Even though I was sitting here reading these forums and auto-ing through, and literally just finished, I can't remember what RNG happened to get me over the hump. Thrawn's fracture usually ended in a dead character, and this time he still killed Zeb halfway through, but I managed to finish it with the other 4.
Some notes:
There's a couple more things that I can't remember right now. I might edit this after I calm down some and finish fixing my mods.
Good luck!
Thanks man!
I make about two hundreds tryes with wery fast Ezra (to call Zeb and Kanan) and Hera with many pot. to Expose Thrawn. You make my day
