Requirements
- 1Player Level 30 minimum for Tier I (50/70/80 for Tiers II/III/IV). Scoundrel characters required — 3 for Tier I, 4 for Tier II, 5 for Tier III–IV. 2 attempts per cycle with SHARED Victory Counts.
- 2Training Droid Smuggling is a Resource Event — irregular schedule, appears every few weeks. Tier IV T7 droids are the bottleneck for G12 character upgrades — never skip a run.
Tier breakdown
Tier I — Pirate Enforcer, Saboteur and Bruiser (Gear III) plus a Pirate Leader (Gear V). Rewards: 12-28 T4 + 12-28 T3 droids + maybe 1 Mk I.
Tier II — Three waves of pirates at Gear VI–VIII. Rewards: 12-28 T5 + 12-28 T4 droids + Mk I-II mats.
Tier III — Three waves of pirates at Gear VII with a Gear IX Leader. Needs 5 Scoundrels. Rewards: 12-28 T6 + 12-28 T5 droids + Mk I-III mats.
Tier IV — Three waves of pirates at Gear VIII with a Gear X Leader. Rewards: 12-28 T7 + 12-28 T6 droids + gear salvage + Ability Material Omega. The two attempts share the count so do Tier IV both times.
Strategy tips
- →Best Tier IV squad in 2026: Hondo Ohnaka (L) + Boba Fett + Bossk + Lando Calrissian + Vandor Chewbacca at Gear 9+. Same comp as Credit Heist — both events use the Scoundrel tag.
- →Budget alternative: Han Solo (L) + Lando + Chewbacca + Greedo + Cad Bane at Gear 8-9. Shoot First opens with massive damage on the Pirate Leader.
- →T7 Training Droids are the main bottleneck for G12 → G13 upgrades. Average drop is ~20 per Tier IV clear, so a full cycle gives ~40 T7 droids — enough for one G12 character.
- →Conquest crates are the other major T7 source. If Training Droid Smuggling is live AND Conquest is in its final week, prioritize TDS first since the event is shorter.
- →Scoundrel tag: Hondo, Boba Fett, Bossk, Lando, Vandor Chewbacca, Han Solo, Greedo, Cad Bane, Jawa Engineer, Mob Enforcer, Dengar, Embo, IG-88 all count. Pirate Stormtrooper does NOT.
