Requirements
- 1Player Level 85 minimum. Marquees are the most accessible events in the game — no gear or relic gates.
- 2No specific characters required. You bring your own roster; tier 1 and 2 are trivial and the only real test is tier 3, which any solid squad clears.
Tier breakdown
Light intro fight against low-gear enemies. Bring almost anything and you clear it.
Slightly tougher second wave with mid-gear enemies. Still very forgiving.
The hardest tier of the marquee — bring your strongest squad. The exact tier 3 enemy line-up has not been revealed yet (the event launches mid-July 2026); this guide will be updated with the specifics once the event goes live.
Strategy tips
- →Do not skip the marquee even if you don't care about Snowtrooper Commander immediately — you only get the unlock event once. Missing it means farming him from scratch later.
- →Clearing all 3 tiers gives you Snowtrooper Commander at 3★. To push him to 7★ you farm his shards afterward from marquee shipments and future hard nodes / cantina.
- →He is an Empire / Imperial Tank — a frontline enforcer who converts the enemy's assault into snowballing momentum. Pair him with Empire and Imperial trooper units where he acts as a defensive wall up front.
- →This event is scheduled for mid-July 2026 and hasn't released yet. Treat tier 3 details and any counter team as TBD — we'll update this page with concrete strategy once the event is live.
- →Right after a marquee, early shard packs are usually discounted in shipments. Check the game's shipments daily if you want to accelerate him toward 7★.
