I keep looking at the GW store and thinking, outside of 2 or 3 most of the characters in there are the "oh and I guess he fills a roster slot to" kind of guys. So really why not move all the Biggs of each category to here so people can fill the whole even if it's not the best guy. Just start moving labot, first order officer, veers and all the other guys no one is every going to willingly farm.

Same here, my high-levels are spread all over the place in terms of faction, so I really need to focus on completing some teams before I miss anymore events.

He unlocks at 5*...any chance you can get enough rebels to 5* in time?

Arena tokens: STH, AA, Leia
Cantina: Lando, Luke

The 5* battle was also super easy compared to 6 or 7.

I've currently got Leia, STH and Luke eligible. Leia is 7* lvl 80, Omega'd and has some of my best mods after Rey, so she's been putting in the bulk of the work; STH and Luke are both 5* and in their 50's though.

I can probably get Biggs there in time, but getting the 5th is where I'm going to cutting it close. I've been wanting an excuse to build Lando though, so hopefully with the retuned Cantina costs I can squeeze him in.

Your Leia can solo T5. You just need 4 other heroes at 5*.

Yeah, my Lando is 4*, and I don't remember having put any shards into him as of yet.

And that's good to know about my Leia being able to handle that tier; I may actually manage to pull this off after all.

I have 34 7* 80 toons. Who's next? Lando, Aayla, or jedi knight anakin? I'm thinking JKA will be most useful for arena.

Well, I got surprise sex in the arena today. Emperor, vadar, Lando, 88, RG. First two had massive speed mods or maybe leader gives speed cuz they went early, before lando early. Had no chance 3/5 of a 40k team dead during the aE.

How do you have 34 7* / 80 people but not Lando? Hes really fun.

I had all of them 3 starred, but now I have to do them all over.

There isn't really one. You just have to throw dps at it until the rancor dies. If you have enough potency on rex, teebo, and a slow, then you can get some damage in, but his tenacity is very high.

Been playing in a sort of 'collect 'em all' way for a while now before reading this thread and joining the guild. Suddenly building the team I want and working towards actually unlocking them has suddenly made this way more fun. Kind of wish I'd done this a while ago.

Just unlocked 7* Palpatine this evening, here was my team:

74 Ackbar G9 (L), 80 STHan G11, 80 Leia G10, 72 Luke G8, 66 Biggs G8

Took maybe 6 tries.

I love that I have an erection...

...that doesn't involve homeless people.

Palpatine unlocks after the five star level? I might push for Biggs and Luke then. Too bad I just read this, after using two Cantina refreshes on getting Lando towards seven stars, instead of using them on getting Luke to five.

You've still got a week or so, I think. Also, you can get Luke shards from the guild store.

Very nice. I had all level 80 Ackbar G9, STH G11, Leia G8, Luke G8, and HRS G7, and beat it first attempt. I probably could have spent a lot less on HRS, but I figure he's pretty good -- Lando will probably replace Luke when I go for the Rebels mod challenge or Empire Assault event. Also really close to G9 Leia and G10 Ackbar, which should also make for a good raid squad.

There's this useful cantina shard farming calculator for peeps trying to figure out if they can farm enough shards for Palpatine in time:

https://jscalc.io/calc/rl77j7l6IpeYtBk6

If you're not going to make it this time around, I would recommend working on Biggs and Wedge, who is very likely to become f2p after August.

They are a very strong meta team thanks to the recent tweaks, and both being rebels they will help you the next time the Palp event rolls around.

Check out this Wedge/Biggs/Lando/Ani/STHan team against some very strong arena teams:
