Just a general question that some people may also need answered with Palp coming around soon, what are the minimums required (Ability/gear wise) for 7*? Would like a precise idea rather then just a save up omegas and throw them on if needed as this would require me to invest away from fleet/rex/vader to get omegas (I'm in the 100-200 range in arena so 1200 fleet currency a day)

You should have no problem with unlock for sure. I unlocked him with less than you have now.
Hope this helps.
Mods didnt exist when the event was released. The level cap was 75ish. Wedge was a super rare p2p toon. Omegas didnt exist yet.
It would be nice to push Hera to g10, but the only gear she's missing is a stun gun, and everyone needs those - including Zeb x 2 if I ever want Zeb to hit g9. So I let phoenix slide as just too hard to gear while I've gone on to finish my Imperial Troopers and build up NS, gear my JTR + a couple other toons. It's hard to justify gearing Phoenix when there are so many better toons out there if the only time I'm ever going to use them is getting Thrawn's 7th star.
Phoenix is also great for GW, TW defense, and LSTB, even certain Raid phases. BTW, I don't know if you put omegas on your Phx, but I needed a few. Potency on Zeb is also important--mine's over 50%. Besides that, it was just RNG. I did the event a lot of times.
Haven't touched my Phoenix team since while building up Empire and hoping it's good enough for Palp.

To be fair, if he's got JTR, I don't think he's worried about LSTB, Raids (besides HSith), or GW. The only advantage they have MAY be TW defense, but getting JTR up is way more important, along with making sure your Palpatine is really good. You're right though, get the omegas for uniques definitely, then some of the normal abilities need it too. I wouldn't worry about zetas for them at all, but upgrade otherwise, yes
That's a good point--I just wouldn't know that, since I don't have JTR yet. And looking at his roster, he doesn't either, nor does he seem even close to ready for the next event.
GW I could swap to magma but farming teebo atm doesn't really matter to me if I've got to swap for next r2 event.
Get all of the uniques
Just get the omega on the uniques if you want to play it safe. Gear 8 is more than enough.
100% you can beat Palpatine with you Thrawn characters
EP event is WAY easier than the thrawn. I am barely going to make it for the Thrawn Mythic, I will have Erza G9 and likely the rest G8 with Omegas on uniques and hoping I can squeak out a 7* Thrawn after 30 tries of dealing with RNG
Just got Ezra up to IX and the others depend are VIII and change.
Sadly I don't have time to Omega all the things due to level. Should be alright though as I have semi decent speed (especially on Ezra).
It'll be months before I can even attempt the super shiny though, CLS/JTR. Even BB8 for that matter.
