Enemies

Final wall: enemy BB-8 (boss with 50% dodge for 2 turns after being attacked) + Finn (constant expose) + Rey Scavenger (assist proc) + Veteran Smuggler Han Solo (burst) + Veteran Smuggler Chewbacca (taunt-revive). Kill order: Veteran Chewbacca → Veteran Han Solo → Rey Scavenger → Finn → BB-8 last. Hitting BB-8 early WASTES turns into the 50% dodge wall. Kylo Ren's ability block on Finn stops the expose loop.

First-time rewards
100 shards

Tier 7 wall. Kill order Veteran Chewie → Veteran Han → Rey → Finn → BB-8 LAST. Kylo Ren ability block on Finn breaks expose loop. Don't attack BB-8 early — his 50% dodge for 2 turns burns your damage.

Strategy tips

  • Farm Kylo Ren (Unmasked) FIRST — he's the leader, Fleet Arena Store + Cantina Battles, slowest farm of the five.
  • Captain Phasma comes from Cantina Battles + GW Store. Her cleanse + leader-style debuff stack is critical for Tier 4-5.
  • First Order Executioner comes from Conquest + shipments. He provides the burst damage.
  • First Order Officer is cheap (Bronzium + GW Store). TM manipulation handles Finn's expose loop.
  • Kylo Ren (vanilla) farms from Cantina Battles + Squad Arena Store. He's the single-target burst with ability block on Finn.
  • BB-8 is meta-relevant — required for Conquest, Hero's Journey unlocks, and a Resistance staple. R7 him after JKR-tier characters.
