Since they introduced the new mod material it seems as though the lowered how hard the event is so most people can get as much of the mod rewards as possible. With this current one I reckon a relicd vader could almost solo tier 7.
I got through tier 7 comfortably with vader lead, thrawn and palp only but with MM you can use the event buff every second move and vader becomes unstoppable

R5 Vader and Palp should be able to solo it. Try Vader lead and using the event power.
I beat it with an R7 Palp lead, R3 Vader, and G12 Tarkin/Shore/Thrawn. It's not a difficult event, keep spamming the event special (especially on Palp and Vader) and you'll be fine. Make Palp tanky if you need to (you basically can't lose until Palp dies).
Edit: Didn't notice that you said you got it in the end - you got T7 with that lineup?
That's exactly what I beat T7 with first try in ~3 min. When Vader is in Merciless Massacre, spam the special and get his offense through the roof. Fracture Shaak Ti. My vader culling blade'd for 400k by the end of the encounter. Got the flawless victory with only Vader and EP at Relic 5 (all others G11/12 because only their debuffs matter, not their damage)
I went with G12 palp lead, R3 Vader, G12 Thrawn and G10 Tarkin (for undersized feat) and won within minutes. Didn’t even spam event special much.
With ST fractured they all fall like flies.
Honestly can’t understand how you had timer issue with the above team?
I ended up with Vader vs. Shaak Ti, she had ten up all the time so no debuffs stuck and I couldn't scrach her even when Vader had some 70-ish stacks of the special vs. her 30-ish.
Still not sure how you would get to that point.
Ah! Of course I meant completed and not solo'd! Good catch!
Huh. Didn’t realize they weren't gated by stars.
Leave it alone in that regard.
Just reset the feats daily
Ok, NOW I just went and solo'd it with only R3 Vader, if you'll be generous enough not to count the summoned snowtrooper, who didn't last very long anyway.
Abuse MM and power up.
Job done. Now this is very enjoyable final tier.
DISCLAIMER: Post is subject to change.
I got the low-man and no-death feats using 3 chars, GL Rey (lead), Hoda and a R4 Vader.
GL rey only spammed lifeblood on Hoda.
Hoda's bonuses are only barely "better" than Vader's non-zeta lead or Piett's lead, and Rey being the lead prevents Vader from stacking extra offense from the event buff triggering on every single one of vader's merciless turns.
All you need to do if you have Vader reliced, is stack your best speed mods on him so he outspeeds the enemy team and you win.
Merciless -> event ability -> normal ability -> event ability -> repeat - Just use the event ability every single time it's up, and eventually he'll start 1-shotting chars, at which point just basic/saber throw everyone.
255 speed (fairly modest, tbh.) is enough to outspeed them with a full empire team, so that vader is at 4 stacks of the event buff before any jedi even gets a turn. By the end of his second merciless, he can't die.
Rng is rng.
I did it with an r6 thrawn, r7 vader and palps and 2 gear 12.
Felt just fine to me. Lost one gear 12 and almost the second. Vader owned, thrawn controlled jolee and shaak.
