Tier 2 — Free R5-D4

Medium

All fighters in this tier are borrowed with fixed event stats. Upgrading your own copies or moving their mods will not improve these supplied fighters.

Gameplay

  1. R5 begins Captive. Use Carson’s Basic to gain Retribution so attacks during enemy turns reduce the cooldown of Free R5-D4.
  2. Use Keeping the Peace when Carson needs the event cleanse. As soon as Free R5-D4 is available, use it to release R5 and recover 20% Health and Protection for both.
  3. After the rescue, focus one Empire attacker at a time while preserving both allies. Captive removal alone is not the finish: defeat the enemy group too.
Restarts & further notes

Restart if

  • If the attempt fails, review the current objective, target and ability cooldowns before retrying. Fixed borrowed stats cannot be improved through your own mods.
