yes they're important, but no the effect is not the same. the only thing that matters for pilot power is the number of dots and mod level.

okay good to know. So a white 5 star mod is better for a pilot than a purple 4 star at the same level (15)?

Don't hit the piggies for 24 hours, just run one 7 star toon to be a sacrifice (if you live long enough to have a turn, attack one of the side piggies to not do damage to the main one). This "registers" you to get some loot, even if you miss the attack window.

After the 24 hour period, someone will send a "Kill the Rancor" message, and we all go crazy. It can happen pretty fast.

24 hour damage hold on Rancor. No rules for tank.

If you can solo the Rancor quickly, please wait until p1 is over so people can get in and do damage in p2. Just keep an eye in-game or on Discord.

2 pm us central is the time I'm going to be running for a week or so. I'm going to see who is able to get damage in at 2 vs at 1. Trying to maximize everyone's chance at damaging the rancor.
I'm trying to be more strict on the rancor damage hold since some people ignore it.
If you break the rule, next rancor you don't get to damage it at all (beyond 0 damage) if you ignore the punishment kicked from the guild for a bit. Maybe a week or two?

his gear requirements aren't that extreme, actually. There's no way to buy zetas, to my knowledge, so he just plain old saved up.

Welp, nevermind. It's funny how one small thing changes everything. I was changing the mods on my team for the final stage of CLS and I accidentally broke R2's speed set so he wasn't getting his speed bonus. I finished the drat thing by the skin of my teeth (it came down to 1 v 2 but Leia is a champ). Is anything better than slamming your face against a video game stage for an hour and then realizing, about half way through a run, that this is the time you're going to finish?

Heed my words and become a master of the Heart (of Thorns).
So my current gameplan is to be prepared for the 7* version of the legendary events as they arrive. Skipping out on Yoda but i should have a full squad of 7* Phoenix by the time Thrawn comes and the same for Palpie. I have sorta only been considering their star levels; how important is gear for the legendary events? I am going to be severely dissapointed if i have farmed a full squad and end up being unable to finish the 7* stage.

The Thrawn event is the hardest - it needs Gear 8, Level 80-ish, with good mods.

Palp and Yoda are both quite easy; I cleared Palp with Level 70 rebels in gear 6-8 mostly IIRC. With newer and newly buffed rebels it should be even easier.

Once Thrawn comes back around the recurrence will probably get faster. Palp became bimonthly after the second run of the event, for example.

So what's a good mod set for CLS? I've got a full potency set on him right now to help with his TM reduction, but his passive already gives him a massive potency boost, so he may not need the mods.

Speed/Crit, Crit/CritD, Speed/Health

I'm assuming you want him to be fast and hit hard, or just hit hard.

If you're only running 1 tank with him, maybe put some health on him?

I've got a Chaze and R2 I can use for tanking, so I'm good there. Thinking it over, speed should definitely be a priority. His debuffs, self-heals, tm reduction, cleanse, and stun are more useful than just hitting hard and the more turns he gets the better.

Speed and Crit/health is where you wanna be then. Whichever 2-set gives you more speed from the secondaries.

Thanks. I was fearing the GL requirements might be higher. From what i understood, 7* R2-D2 is quite challenging.

Do we know roughly when Thrawn will return? Palpie/Yoda share the bimonthy rotation, with R2-D2 and Thrawn on a separate and longer rotation? Will he come around in late autumn?

I am a bit undecided if i should get my 5* PS up to 7* now or wait another month and get other good heroes up to 7* meanwhile like Wedge, Rex, maybe one of the Sith from SA tokens (i have DN, Dooku, Maul and Vader so)

I looked over my mods and I've got a speed set arrow that offers +26 speed. Should I use that, or leave the arrow slot for a non-speed set mod?

Whatever gives you the most speed. A five-dot arrow with speed primary will always be 30, so you're looking at a 4-dot speed arrow.

You want 4 speed-set mods, so find the best 4 you've got that also have speed in the secondary stats, and then fill with good speed-secondaries with crit/health mods. You can obviously compare mods and find a way to min/max this thing.
