Requirements for unlocking R2-D2 at 7 Star
« on: February 03, 2018, 02:05:55 am »
You need a 7* of any five (5) of the following characters:

- Darth Vader
- Emperor Palpatine
- Colonel Starck
- General Veers
- Death Trooper
- Director Krennic
- Gar Saxon
- Grand admiral Thrawn
- Grand Moff Tarkin
- Imperial Probe Droid
- Imperial Super Commando
- Magmatrooper
- Royal Guard
- Shoretrooper
- Snowtrooper
- Stormtrooper
- Imperial Tie Fighter

I did it with the following characters: EP (L), Darth Vader, Royal Guard, Grand Moff Tarkin, Imperial Tie Fighter. I did not have the best mods and didn't really understand how they work anyway. I had them all at gear 8, except for Vader at about 10. I relied heavily on RNGesus to get me through. The strategy was as follows:

Palpatine on lead gives potency up and max health up for Empire and Sith, while lowering potency and evasion for Rebels. This means Tarkin can get his Intimidation Tactics off meaning Rebels become a sitting duck for a few turns. RG provides massive defense and Vader and TFP provide insane damage. Your problem comes into the order you attack in. You will be facing:

- Old Ben Kenobi: Taunts, buffs on death and can apply ability block.
- Princess Leia: Gives herself stealth and causes heavy damage. Crits often.
- Farmboy Luke: High damage output.
- Classic or Raid Han: Very high damage output, but insanely squishy.
- Clone Wars Chewbacca: Taunts, regains health, okay tank.
- R2-D2: Stealths all, gives foresight. VERY, VERY tanky.

Remember that you don't have to worry too much about ability block from Old Ben, and he does not deal much damage. Leave to second last. Leia is very fast and will stealth, so forget about her for now. Take out either Luke or Han, whichever one is not in stealth. But Han takes preference over Luke. Second take out whichever of Luke or Han was not taken out first. By that time Leia will be unstealthed. Take her out. Then focus on either Chewie or Artoo. Preferably Artoo. After that take out whoever is left standing, as the only threat between Artoo, Old Ben and Chewie is Artoo. Use Vader's Force Crush liberally and saber throw whoever has the most debuffs. It will kill Luke, Leia or Han in one shot. Don't be afraid to restart if things do not go your way. If you can stun with EP it helps a lot!

If I had the right mods, I would use the same team, but all at Gear 9. I would mod Everyone but RG for speed, at least 180+. I would mod RG all Protection Mods (5 dot, 23.5%). I would mod TFP for Crit damage and Crit chance. Same for Tarkin. I wouldn't bother with potency up on any of them as EP provides enough. Finally, some Tenacity up secondaries would be useful.

Finally, remember that I did this almost a year ago, so the specifics might be a bit vague. Please post your tips here. I know some people used Magmatrooper or Stormtrooper as well.
