So... theoretical Rebel team: Leader: Wedge Antilles Biggs Darklighter Lando Calrissian Jyn Erso Stromtrooper Han With lots of critical mods... 4 of those minus Jyn was the meta from August- November last year. However it's pretty much dead now. The meta at the moment is very anti critical hits. Rex Lead, General Kenobi, Barriss, Etc |

Thrawn kit
Manipulate (Basic)
Characters: Deal Special damage to target enemy, grant them Speed Up for 1 turn, or if they already had Ability Block, inflict Stun for 1 turn instead. When this Speed Up expires, inflict Ability Block for 1 turn. These effects can't be Resisted.
Raid Bosses: Deal Special damage to target enemy and inflict Defense Down for 2 turns, which can't be Resisted.
Fracture(Special, Cooldown 3)
Deal Special damage to target enemy 4 times, dispel all buffs on them, remove 50% Turn Meter, and inflict Fracture until the start of Thrawn's next turn, or until Thrawn is defeated. This Fracture can't be Copied or Dispelled. This attack can't be Evaded or Resisted.
Fracture on Characters: Speed set to 0, can't gain buffs, bonus Attacks, or bonus Turn Meter.
Fracture on Raid Bosses: -50% Speed (doesn't stack with Speed Down)
Grand Admirals Command(Special, Cooldown 3)
Swap Turn Meter with target other ally. Dispel all debuffs on Thrawn and that ally, and they recover 40% Protection.
Legendary Strategist (Leader)
Empire allies have +15% Max Protection, 25% Offense, and gain 20% Turn Meter whenever they Resist a detrimental effect or suffer a debuff. Whenever an Empire ally gains or loses a status effect, they recover 2% Protection. Empire allies gain a new Special ability, Maneuver: Dispel all debuffs on this character and gain 50% Turn Meter (Cooldown 3)
Ebb and Flow (Unique)
Thrawn has +100% Counter Chance, +100% Tenacity, and -50% Speed while any enemies are Fractured. Whenever another Empire ally uses a Special ability while Thrawn is active, that ally gains 15% Turn Meter and, if any enemies are Fractured, Thrawn and Fractured enemies lose 15% Turn Meter.

Potato think you can get him unlocked even just at 5 star? With his stats he will be PERFECTLY viable... and that team ability that dispels holy crap. Also that unlock music at like 40 seconds in the video, Thrawns theme is so cool there. Gotta remember to turn up my sounds when I unlock/ star him

I think I can... Hera's about 8 shards away, and then Ezra's another 50. Kanan, Zeb, and Chopper should be easy since you can get them with every refresh. But yeah, Thrawn looks really good. I saw a video of him taking out a triple cleanse team, so he's definitely going to be powerful.
I'm guessing you've got Hera and Ezra above 5 stars?

Pinda Did you even bother with Phoenix Squadron?  Thrawn looks good but I'm assuming you didn't unlock them when they were originally released, so at this point it's probably not worth it scrambling to get them to 5 stars before the event ends

Yeah I'll likely get him 6 stars sometime during the event, the event lasts a week so we got until the 22nd.  He looks much better then R2, tbh I think R2 isn't that good... |

Also some of my guildmates have some pretty reliable connections, there's been a leak on the game mode that is promised to come soon.
It looks to be a Galactic Conquest guild mode, something like a dozen stages on different planets, requiring different groups of characters on each planet. Need to work as a guild and makes use of your whole roster. Looks fairly interesting.

General Kenobi > Thrawn > Palpatine > Yoda > R2-D2 >> Han Solo
Is probably how I'd rank raid/ legendary characters. Seems a lot of my guild agrees, with the only spot of debate being whether R2 is better or at least on par with Yoda.
If you had all at 7 star though, a reasonable argument can be made that Thrawn is better because of his raid potential. However overall Kenobi is a more universal character.

I'm using him in my main squad right now (he's only 5 stars), and he's really good and has lots of uses. The constant stuns are great and he can put foresight on Baze while he's taunting. |

I only got Ezra at 4 stars... not because I wanted to but because I wanted the double cantina currency. |

R2 is pretty bad in the current meta though, his burning AOE is easily resisted/ cleansed with Rex, Chirrut, GK now days. His accuracy boost was meant to counter the Zeta Maul meta but that's kinda dead at the moment and evasion probably won't be significant for awhile. His Crit Chance boost on his unique is pretty useless since the current meta heavily punishes critical hits His stealth and stun on basic are his two good things, but I don't believe it beats Palpatine shock on basic. Yoda under the QGJ Zeta lead is ridiculously strong |

I used R2 in my squad and it just didn't work well... it's puzzling how Fives is better then pretty much anyone I try to replace him with

 Looking pretty good... got him gear 11, just need 7 star now and he will be complete. 80 more shards needed |

Hera and Kanan at 5 stars... Zeb and Chopper are 10 away. I'll have Zeb today for sure, it might take a couple more days for Chopper though since I'm all out of Cantina currency. I still need 35 Ezra shards, but I think it's definitely doable.

Chopper and Zeb are easy, Hera shouldn't be too hard. I'm doing 3 Cantina refreshes a day at this point... Kanan will take 6 days. Getting 10 Kanan shards a day with 800 daily arena currency |

 Yup will be doing tier 6 of the event for sure... just annoying that I have to wait until the 20th for Kanan when the rest will be ready in 2-3 days. If only they had given us like a week more before the event, I'd maybe have a shot at 7 star. Oh well, with Thrawns kit and stats it doesn't really matter too much but 7 star would be nice for raids |

Nice.  I do agree that they should have given us an extra week or so. The Thrawn event should have been announced June 1st. My Ezra's just 4 shards away now, and then I'll have them all at 5 stars (minus Sabine). Still, an extra week would have been better so more people could unlock Thrawn at 6 or 7 stars. I guess it will be kind of fun to stretch it out though and see most people unlock Thrawn the next time the event comes. |

ATF should really have Phoenix squad synergy as well... it's weird that only the ghost crew has the Phoenix tag, when in reality the entire Attolon cell is Phoenix Squad I think the Thrawn event will come back later this year, Im thinking they may also release Rukh and make him have Thrawn synergy since he's appearing in Rebels |

Now I need to get an Empire squad going.... I'm hoping Saxon and Supercommando will be relatively easy farms but I'm pretty sure Saxon will be a hard Node only since there's still 2 hard Node spots left in stage 9 darkside.
I'm interested in running Gar Saxon (lead), Imperial Supercommando, Grand Moff Tarkin, Grand Admiral Thrawn and Shoretrooper

The Thrawn event is incredible... I spent 2 minutes just listening to the music before ending the 5th battle. Seems half my guild did the same lol

I had an awesome glitch where the Thrawn music played during one of my ship battles.  It only lasted for like 20 seconds and then it switched back to the standard music though. |

A more simpler time, Shoretrooper the most OP thing the game had seen.
No Chaze, Nihilus, Zaul, Zader, Zarriss, General Kenobi, R2, Thrawn to be found here... I remember when Lando was Arena meta lol or when Sun Fac was in every team
Though Rex has lived on from this time... he's been dominant since his release in March 2016

I've faced 2 Thrawn teams now...
Thrawn (L), Sith Assassin, Sith Trooper, Darth Nihilus and Savage. This one wasn't too bad, Thrawn lead only really benefits himself since none are Imperials.
But...
Kenobi (L), Thrawn, R2, Barriss, Nihilus... this was a pretty hard Node, they had 5 Zeta abilities in that Comp...

 Just got 6* Thrawn with this squad, tbh I'm impressed with the progress I made in less then 2 weeks. I actually had them prettt much all at the point since Friday though, it was just Kanan I was waiting on |

Post by Newan on Jun 19, 2017 22:50:51 GMT -5
 Not sure if true but.... sounds like a weird thing to do one day after Thrawn leaves. Unless they have even more plans for these characters... the Ghost and Phantom should be farmable soon. This isn't from a source in my guild though so it may not pan out, my guild however is rarely wrong |

it’s been quite a while. I’ve been pretty good, how about yourself?
