Like the title says, I'm wondering if I can unlock Palpatine without wedge and Biggs next time around. I have scarcely any good Rebels at this point so I'm not worried about the current event just wondering if you absolutely have to farm up wedge and Biggs to unlock him. There are a lot of other characters in the fleet store and in cantina that I'd rather worry about.

But if you can use phoenix use them. They are awesome at everything that a rebel can do. Mod them with protection secondaries and add chopper and they can beat any event that they can be used in at g8.
In game guild: TNR Uprising
I beat the REAL T7 Yoda (not the nerfed one) and did so before mods were there to help

****’s ship is basically a requirement for most competitive fleets. There is one fleet in my shard (only 3 months old) that is using fives instead of Biggs and somehow he’s staying up in top 10 with us. I think he’s only staying up that high because he buys attack refreshes. I can destroy him though and my fleet is 20k less power than his. A strong Biggs is a huge annoyance and can be the difference in any battle both on offense and defending.
Personally, I’d recommend working on phoenix asap so that you can get thrawn. He’s absolutely essential for a good empire squad plus he fits with any squad and makes them better. Be warned, PS is a huge pain to gear...seriously. I just unlocked palp when the event opened and he’s already g9 almost g10. DV was easy to get to g10 and tfp wasn’t that hard either. PS takes forever and will make you work for gear the same gear over and over again as it repeats for these characters. Kanan and Zeb eventually (maybe always) have identical gear requirements in every slot which makes getting them geared a huge pain. I personally didn’t even get either of them past g8 because they need 2 Mk5 stun guns each just for g9. I’m going to level all of them and omega their uniques so that next time thrawn shows up I can get him maxed. I was only able to get 6* this time as being lvl78 limited my ability to finish the event.
As far as wiggs goes, I’m farming wedge passively from fleet if there is nothing else for me to buy and I can afford it and he’s getting close to 6*. I’d say work on him eventually as he has a decent ship (there are better options but he is needed eventually for the Chimera as are all rebel ships). He’s a great leader for TB if you have other rebels you can surround him, but Wedge really is squishy unless Biggs is with him. Together they are very annoying and can be quite a pain and useful in younger shards.
If thrawn isn’t on your “to do” list and you’d rather go with a wiggs squad, it might be worth it, though it is a slower cantina farm and quite costly when there are so many other characters you need out of cantina along with your mod farming. Again, I’d recommend the PS grind right away. Thrawn is one of the best characters in the game and isn’t going away any time soon.
I was moreso wondering if I could do it with a squad like this seeing as I have no pheonix chars. I'd rather farm up characters that are needed for CLS unlock than pheonix characters. Thanks folks.
