R2 event teams

Do I absolutely need EP and Vader to get R2? I thought Tarkin L, Tfp, st, magmatrooper, and snow trooper all g8+ would be enough, but even after I move all my main mods over these bots still get two turns off before anyone on my team and I get shmacked.

I've got Vader 50/100 right now, odds are I'm not going to get him 7* in the next week. Should I start farming a rebel team for EP, get Vader 7*, and just wait for the next event, or beef up my current empire team to g10/11 and go for it? I've already dumped way more resources than I thought I would into this and I don't want to put all my gear that I have stocked up on this team only to find out it's not gonna happen.

The whole "farm rebels for Luke" thing has me just thinking it is more worth it to ditch this event and wait for the next one, but I was really REALLY hoping to get 7* this time around.

Also, what's the reason for wing clipping magma trooper on the 7* battle?

I take it for MT you're talking about the immunity to TM reduction? Yeah, that sucks a lot.

In theory, it should be possible for any 7* Empire to do it (three of the characters are Old Ben, Chewie and Farmboy Luke), but you'll need much better gear.

Once R2 is down the battle is much simpler. So focus on R2 and kill him before considering anything else.

It really feels like they just blindly threw that in there to stop zader.

So to be clear you're saying I should dump the gear and try to grab 7* this week? I guess I should've clarified, I don't have enormous stores of gear, but I was saving up for GK, so I've got some. At least enough to get them all g9.

The gear will help more, but the final decision is up to you. If you get good RNG you might get 7* R2, but you'll have lost your gear for Kenobi.

If you can't get 7* Commander Luke anyway, I'd say a highly geared Kenobi is worth 10 7* R2D2s.

That's smart, I'll hold on for Kenobi. Seriously, thanks a ton.

And still I did it with zader :D R2 was so freaking fast, I put some DoTs on him and let him kill his self.

EP lead is better, but you'll need a fast Tarkin on that last tier to debuff them unless you have high gear levels. I had to move speed mods around and get Tarkin up around 190 and get some RNG help with resists to R2's burn.

I used EP (L), Vader, Tarkin, TFP, and RG. You'll want Tarkin and TFP to go before Vader, that way he can instagib somebody after his force crush. I took Raid Han down first, Leia and Luke after that, then old Ben. Make sure R2 has buff block on first before killing Ben. Then kill R2, he's got a bunch of health it might take a bit. Chewie is so slow, you can leave him for last.
