I think next month we will get a new Rebels update... if you notice none of the Phoenix guys have Zeta's yet... Ezra's first special only goes to rank 7 (no omega) so it's an obvious placeholder for a Zeta.
We will get a Zeta pass for all of them and they will likely go farmable at the same time

Nihilus and Maul make the Jedi event super easy.
But I think it's still one of the best events

Nihilus and Maul make the Jedi event super easy. But I think it's still one of the best events I can't get past the 7th stage. Although, my Nihilus isn't really that good so my team's Palpatine, Sidious, Vader, Maul, and Phasma. |

Although, my Nihilus isn't really that good so my team's Palpatine, Sidious, Vader, Maul, and Phasma. The first time the event was around I used: Gear 4 Nihilus (lead) Gear 8 Maul (5 Star) Gear 8 Vader (6 star) Gear 10 Savage (7 Star) Gear 9 Dooku (7 star) I put some mods on all of them, remember Crit Chance and damage is useless on Nihilus lead so just stack protection and what not. You have to annihilate Anakin on round 4, and than Annihilate Yoda on round 8. Make sure to time your turns right, you can do this by using the event special ability which counts as a turn. The life steal from Nihilus lead will keep your Sith alive and Maul kinda goes ham. I beat all tiers with this team the first time. This time I used the same team but everyone is 7 star now (except Nihilus) and people have better gear, so it was super easy |

Unless you have really good Sith you HAVE to use Nihilus I think, you need his annihilate ability and it will carry.
It make take some restarts to get good RNG but once he annihilates Anakin he will keep himself alive from all the health he gets, doesn't matter if it's only gear 4 like I had

Thanks for the tips, it got me to stage 8. But then I got completely destroyed there.  My Nihilus was too slow so I could only annihilate Kenobi because he taunted, but everyone else died shortly after that. Ah, well. I think I'll be able to complete it the next time it happens. Now it's time to focus on my Empire characters for R2.  |

Tbh the first time I didn't it, Savage was the unsung hero, he can execute people at 50% health so that's usually good on some rounds |

I run Bane in dark side, not the most useful ally tbh but I mean how many people run Bane as their leader? Especially a maxed Bane, gives my allies something fresh to try out. But my dark side roster is kinda meh anyways |

Bane doesn't seem to have a lot of health or protection compared to others though... I usually just go with a Maul lead along with Vader, Palpatine, Sidious, and Boba (once my Nihilus is better he'll probably replace Sidious). |

And in dark side battles you mostly fight Jedi, so he's strong |

Why is Nilhus in this if he isn't canon? HK-47, Sith Assassin, Sith Trooper and Nihilus are all not canon, EA is the publisher of SWTOR and KOTOR are the most successful Star Wars games, so why not have them? It's also pretty much confirmed Revan will be coming at some point |

I know I see Mara Jade highly requested but she kinda conflicts with the new Star Wars content so I doubt they add her... whereas Old Republic guys don't

I had to use a ton of Galactic War refreshes and spend a lot of crystals, but I finally got Magmatrooper to five stars. It was worth it because I was able to do the five star level of the R2 challenge, which was enough to unlock him. Apparently this event's not coming back for another 6 months after this, so I kind of went all out for it. |

Palpatine event was first released back in August and didn't come back until December, now its a monthly thing though for people who don't have him. Yoda was always monthly. R2 is defintley better than Yoda but not better than Palpatine though |

So looking at the 5* character unlocks and which one could be next...
Yoda - Legendary Event Jedi
Palpatine - Legendary Event Rebels
R2-D2 - Legendary Event Empire
General Kenobi - Raid Reward
Han Solo - Raid Reward
Seems like all the most prominent characters are unlocked from these now and requiring 145 shards (5 star) to unlock. I think the next raid will likely reward Jedi Knight Luke that's being teased a lot now.
Padme however has been speculated that she may come in a future legendary event, possibly requiring Separatists I'd imagine. Jango Fett could be one as well requiring Republic
I think in order for them to do a legendary type event they need to use a faction that has lots of characters not one that only has 5 or 6. Rebels, Jedi, Empire, Separatist and Scoundrels are really the only big factions but Scoundrels also have the weekly Droid/ credit events all ready so lots of people would have them farmed by this point, might not be the best money making opportunity for CG/ EA.

I think Padme would be kind of lame for a legendary event... even if she was added in regularly I still wouldn't care much. But I do think they need to make the Separatists better. Giving Grievous a rework and making him a Fleet Commander and then maybe adding a Droideka would be a good start. |

And I'm not sure Grievous will be a fleet commander, in the data files it has Nute Gunray as the next commander and he's also a separatist. I guess they have to make the worst character in the game relevant somehow... There's supposed to be a "fan favorite" character coming in June. I think it could be Jango Fett now that we have the burning mechanic from R2. However there should be a level increase sometime soon which would mean a new raid, possibly Jedi Luke reward |

Still, this is good because I've got mine at 7 stars. His AOE special is kinda trash, doesn't do much damage, his leadership is fairly good but I wouldn't say it competes with Palpatine, Vader or even Veers now. His leadership is going to get a Zeta though since it caps at rank 7 right now. Tarkin is the last imperial on the list though so I'm happy they will be done with Empire and Rebels for awhile I think. They just reworked Veers and the troopers. Krennic and Saxon just came out. Tie Fighter Pilor was already good and Vader/ Palpatine got buffed in the Sith faction pass. So every Imperial has gotten better in the last few months. Though if the June character is Luke than they could be doing more Rebel stuff which would kinda suck... |

Hmm Nute Gunray is actually a viable leader with R2 in the squad now, R2 gives everyone stealth.
Before things like Teebo or Maul leads you had to have them at leader to get squad stealth, so Gunray wasn't an option

But hopefully those Republic and Separatist tags get some more use soon. |

I just noticed they made Clone Wars Chewbacca a Republic character for what? Being trapped on a moon and visiting the Jedi Temple after. Maybe it's ROTS related idk... So after I finish Tarkin not sure who to farm in Arena next... don't have much options: Gunray Ugnaught Greedo Nebit Eeth Koth I guess I may go for Gunray since he's supposed to be a fleet commander according to datamined info |

I've got Ackbar as my leader right now.
