You posted the Hauler image. Here the Empire Faction Tie Brute Level 1:



Starships are useless against Jets/Jumps in SC. Like most attackers I only use HWK-290 or Decimator, or (if I have them unlocked for other accounts) Fangs/Strikers for LAAT/IDT traps and ground troops in SC, and B-Wings/Defenders for clustered turrets. I only use Tie Fighters/X-Wings to hit Safehouses when I'm looting CB, or to destroy SC in Wars... Armory skins do not work in Squad Wars, then I don't see a point of play a whole Event only to unlock and upgrade this unit.

All units for this Event are pretty useless. More 4 weeks on vacation for some of my accounts

Maybe the new “thing” will be to have a bunch of buffed tie/x-wing pilots (if the equiment applies) in your SC to nuke all of those troops that aren’t jets/jumps because of the burst turret buff.

I think this will not work. As buffed heavy in IDT traps do not work or traps in Squad Wars do not get the boost from Yavin OP... But I may be wrong. I'm waiting for an official response.

Tie Pilots and Rodian samples benefit from the Yavin outpost buff in Wars. The bombers and Tie support absolutely level a base quickly with the yavin out post.

Two very interesting points back to back. Well done good sirs.

NEW ARMORY EQUIPMENT Introduced

With the start of SWC Event Lucky Break (Solo Movie Event #2) - Week #4 - we saw the introduction of the Rebel U-Wing / Empire TIE Brute Armory Equipment.

We now wait for reports about this New Armory Skin use and effectiveness...

UPDATE: There are Sample Units of both the Rebel U-Wing / Empire TIE Brute being placed in the HQ Inventory.

Can't wait to see replays of those being used...

I was not going to play events any more now that my Imperial account has reached level 10 because 900 EP is not something easy to get while you are a level 9 with HQ 10 attacking full Level 10s but as I need to loot to pay troops and buildings upgrades anyway, I will not be wasting my time.

But I think I lost something here while I was off duty... I just opened the Crate for Objective 2 and got 2 samples of Tie Brute, leveled up to the current level of my Starship Command:



I did not know that Tie Brute was a skin with samples, as are the Rodians. Reading a few posts here, I saw that there is a possibility that the final reward would not be unlocking the Tie Brute (20 frags), but getting only samples?

I also intended to play with my 2 Rebel accounts, but now I no longer know if it's worth playing with 3 accounts like maniac for a week and not get what I wanted.
