Tier breakdown

I
Tier 1
6★ required (Tier I only)
Enemies

First Order Stormtroopers and Riot Control Stormtroopers (Gear 6-8). Three waves, intro fight.

First-time rewards
50 shards
40 crystals
100,000 credits
Bring Finn as leader. Rey opens with her basic to apply Daze, BB-8 keeps everyone topped up.
II
Tier 2
7★ required
Enemies

First Order Officers, Stormtroopers and Riot Control units (Gear 8-9). The Officers love calling assists — burst them first.

First-time rewards
50 shards
40 crystals
200,000 credits
Veteran Smuggler Han lead is solid here — his AoE clears the trash waves fast and his turn-meter retaliation keeps you ahead.
III
Tier 3
7★ required
Enemies

Officers, Stormtroopers and Riot Control units across four waves, ending in a Captain Phasma boss at Gear 9.

First-time rewards
50 shards
40 crystals
200,000 credits
Save your assist abilities for the Phasma wave. Han Solo's "Shoot First" can one-shot squishy targets if his speed is high enough.
IV
Tier 4
7★ required
Enemies

Five waves of First Order Officers, Stormtroopers and TIE Pilots (Gear 8-10), capped by a Stormtrooper boss at Gear 10.

First-time rewards
50 shards
40 crystals
400,000 credits
Mods matter starting here. Aim for VS Chewbacca with Health/Defense and high tenacity to resist the Officer's ability block.
V
Tier 5
7★ required
Enemies

Three waves with First Order Officers, Stormtroopers and TIE Pilots (Gear 8-9). Survivability check before the Kylo fights.

First-time rewards
50 shards
40 crystals
400,000 credits
Same squad as Tier IV. Focus fire the Officers first so they can't resurrect or buff.
VI
Tier 6
7★ required
Units required
Enemies

Solo Kylo Ren boss at Gear 11, Level 85. He hits like a truck and gains turn meter on damage taken.

First-time rewards
50 shards
40 crystals
400,000 credits
Take Kylo to half HP fast with Finn's leader bonus, then let Rey clean up. Avoid attacks that trigger his counter.
VII
Tier 7
7★ required
Units required
Enemies

Kylo Ren at Gear 12, Level 88. Rey vs. Kylo, 1v1. This is the wall most players hit.

First-time rewards
30 shards
40 crystals
600,000 credits
Solo Rey. The fight is a turn-meter race: every time Kylo recovers stealth, dispel it with her basic. Speed and Health Steal mods are the meta here.

Strategy tips

  • Farm Veteran Smuggler Han and Chewbacca FIRST. They are the slowest farms (cantina + hard nodes) and gate the whole event.
  • Don't neglect mods. A 7★ undermodded Rey will NOT beat Tier VII Kylo no matter how many tries you take.
  • Aim for Gear 11+ on Rey, with relics if you have the materials. Tier VII is a damage race and stats matter more than the ability ceiling.
  • Speed > everything in Tier VII. Rey needs to outpace Kylo so she can dispel his stealth before he wipes her.
  • If you fail Tier VII, use the "Reset event" button — you keep your previous-tier rewards and only re-attempt the one you failed.
