Requirements

- 2No specific characters required. You bring your own roster — Tiers 1 and 2 are trivial, and Tier 3 is the only fight that asks for a real squad.
Tier breakdown
I
Tier 1
Enemies
Light intro fight against low-gear enemies. Bring almost anything and you clear it.
First-time rewards
5 shards
50,000 credits
Free win — bring whatever decent squad you have. The goal is just to clear it and get a feel for Colonel Ward (you get her at low star for the event).
II
Tier 2
Enemies
Slightly tougher second wave with mid-gear enemies. Still very forgiving.
First-time rewards
10 shards
50 crystals
100,000 credits
Same approach — any mid-tier squad clears this. No special counter needed.
III
Tier 3
Enemies
The hardest of the three, but still beatable with your best squad. Exact enemy lineup is still being confirmed by the community — we will update this guide once the tier 3 wall is locked down.
First-time rewards
15 shards
100 crystals
150,000 credits
Bring your strongest, best-modded squad and play it manually if the auto attempt stalls. There is no required faction — raw squad power and good targeting carry tier 3. We will add a verified counter team here once one is confirmed.
Strategy tips
- →Do not skip the marquee even if you do not care about Colonel Ward immediately — you only get the unlock event once. Missing it means farming her from scratch later.
- →Clear all 3 tiers and you get Colonel Ward at 3★. To 7-star her you farm her shards afterward from her marquee shipments + future hard nodes / cantina.
- →Colonel Ward is a New Republic Support and a former Rebel pilot, so pair her with New Republic and Rebel-adjacent allies where her support kit can buff and protect the team.
- →Bring your best overall squad to tier 3 — there is no mandatory faction, so squad power and mods matter more than matching tags. Manual play helps if you stall.
- →Use her arrival as a reason to invest in your New Republic / Rebel bench — those tags keep getting meta-relevant content.
