This message to balance out the negative threads about Chewie.
I actually liked the difficulty and would like more event like this one. It's so good when you have to tweak to the extreme to have a chance of win, and have numerous tries and retries.
These legendary characters should go to people who were able to tweak and strategely use their roster enough to make it.
Ps: i'm a F2P player and I have been playing for not so long (1 year) and got chewie 7*. So it's doable. For those who didn't: keep focusing on BH and you should get it next time (mods you choose are very important).

We just had one a couple of weeks ago....C3PO's event. There are some basic strategies to use but the entire opening salvo is complete RNG as the characters use different types of attacks and choose to attack different targets. It's more of a grinding event than a "strategy" event.
I don't see anything at all wrong with that. We all need something to aim and to work for.
Of course - a lot of people these days think they deserve the best things without working for them.
This.
Yes there is a lot of RNG, and yes it is difficult. But so many game modes can be put on auto now, I genuinely appreciate things that provide an opportunity for a little more thought and planning (I'm one of those who loves Grand Arena as well).
I'm not going to pretend I didn't get a lucky run for mine. I had pretty average geared BHs except zBossk, and got a lucky roll of the dice on my first run, while I have guildies with 5x G12 characters and are 100+ runs deep who cannot beat it. But the fact is, I'd have run it 200+ times if need be, for the challenge, tweaking and feeling of achievement on completion. I'd even have been ok with not getting him this time (if a little disappointed).
Thank you for the positive post OP.
ZBoba(L) g12, zBossk g12, Greedo g12, Dengar g12, Zam g11
Zam was useless but she played the bullet sponge role well enough. Besides Dengar going stealthy, Greedo was my heronof the day as he multi-hit both Chewie and Han. Han’s counterattack killed him but the game was set by then. With Boba, Dengar and Bossk alive, I could eliminate the remaining rebel and claim my reward.
Judging for all the people complaining that they can't get him, the difficulty is perfect.
The difficulty is far from perfect.
It's more difficult than the last time since they nerfed Bossk's leadership ability.
It's almost impossible without Dengar and yet the the requirements are only "BOUNTY HUNTERS".
Also Bounty hunters "ambush" Han and Chewie and yet those two have preloaded TM. R2D2 and Chewie can easily stun over 100% tenacity Bossk.
I spent multiple weeks and countless hours trying to finish of thrawn which seems to be a similar situation with rng. Both events have seen players with scrub teams compared to mine unlocking 7 star in far fewer tries. that's where the problem lies. I'm only slightly concerned with their requirements wording. Far more concerned that it's basically up to a roll of the dice if you can get it done. That's not fun or fair
And to answer some complaints. Yes you can bring any 5 bhs/ewoks but sime are better than others. I'm pretty sure if you bought jango, aura, and embo the first time around it takes a lot of the rng out. So you pay to not have rng. Same with the ewoks. The harder to get ones take rng out of it more.
But with proper modding and effort you have the chance to bypass the paywall. Now, I had both bossk and dengar for the first time. I panic farmed bossk like crazy during the double drops and made it. With ewoks I used chirpa, elder, wicket, scout, and g8 teebo. I decided not to try and refresh the store for pabloo and logery since I had so far to go and didn't want to waste the crystals. And I didn't want to waste 200 carbontis getting teebo to g9 from g8. It worked out but probably took more tries because of my choices.
Though in all honesty it only took a few hours for each event. So my suggestion is if you are trying for hpurs on end and never getting a turn, you probably need to remod your team. I had the majority of my tries with 4 or more surviving the opening blows. I had to mod for health and protection to do this though.
So if you are trying for hours and not getting a turn at g12, it's because you're mods need to make them more tanky.
I'd say 2. Bossk is basically a requirement. I've got dengar and not even sniffing ending the event
Lots of people have done with Boba lead.
I've seen people beat it without bossk. But it is an rng fest. It's up to you if it's worth the time or if you'd rather wait and farm bossk
I suggest maybe doing 20 attempts a day and farming bossk. 20 attempts limits your frustration but gives you a shot to get lucky. And even if you unlock chewie farming bossk isn't a waste. His lead is great for bhs in other game modes and he has one of the best ships in the game.
You are basically doing 3 vs 5 here as IG88 is terrible in an event where he dies on impact. Likewise Zam only makes sense on a Boba lead “Thermal team”. Throw in the lack of Dengar....
HOWEVER - If you look at the teams people have been successful you need 2 out of the Trinity of Bossk, Dengar and Boba (ideally one of these being Dengar). So you should have a chance....
I’d suggest searching for videos or posts showing how people managed without Dengar.....
I'm actually surprised there isn't a post complaing because someone can't beat it without boba.
I'm surprised there's not a "why can't I use [INSERT NOT A BOUNTY HUNTER HERE] in the event even though I have them at 7*" thread.
Agreed and agreed.
Also no aoe till you get chewie down because as soon as they resist an effect they get 30%tm under leia
