Tier breakdown
Imperial Stormtroopers and basic Sith units at low gear. Intro tier.
Imperial squads with Officers and Stormtroopers. Princess Leia's AoE clears these waves.
Mid-tier Imperial encounters. Stormtrooper Han's leader-style assists shine here.
Tougher Imperial squads with mini-boss-style finishers. R2-D2's cleanse + stealth matters.
Darth Vader (Gear 10) boss fight plus support Imperials. Vader's Force Crush is brutal — avoid clumping.
Final 7★ run for the cleanest reward. Same squad, slightly tougher Vader-led encounter.
Strategy tips
- →Stormtrooper Han is the slowest farm (Cantina + GW) — start early.
- →Princess Leia's leader zeta is huge for the Rebel meta years after this event.
- →Gear 11+ on Old Ben + R2-D2 makes Tier V a comfort fight against Vader.
- →Speed mods on Old Ben so he taunts first; protection on Princess Leia and Luke Farmboy.
- →Tenacity on R2-D2 prevents Vader from blocking his cleanse.
