randombattle posted:I'm never fighting another high ranked phasema team. loving bonus attacks out the rear end. I've been up against 2 Phasma teams back to back in GW before. Many bench warmers lost their lives that day. Killing Phasma then resetting is the best way I've found to monkey wrench that poo poo, but it's not easy. Having been on the other side of it, I'm now working on a Phasma proc team. I'm thinking I can use the ai's retarded RNG hacks to pull some really crazy poo poo, and hopefully it'll help maintain my rank better than my cookie cutter Sid (lead) Jawa/JC/Lumi/Daka team does. My Jawa procs speed down and does an extra 35% to debuffed targets. Sid's heal debuff is a thing, and I've left off the aoe upgrade that lowers the cooldown because gently caress that attack. Daka is a no-brainer, and even at only 5* she's out speeding all my opponents, which is awesome. For the last spot I'm using Lumi, as the team lacks heals, and her evasion buff should be on permanently with this setup. Long term I'd like to move Luke into one of the slots, most likely the Jawa,but it'll be a minute since I just started farming for him. If only Leia were farmable....

Kind of miffed that I started playing this the day after they stopped giving away Phasma, but beyond that is a fun little time-waster. Ally code is 544-742-193. Already added some people starting from the beginning of the thread (your level 50+ level dudes have been appreciated). Also, if anyone also plays Seven Knights I just started playing that too. So if anyone needs/wants a friend my in-game name is Syrious.

What are people spending their currency on? My Arena Tokens go towards Sid, but otherwise I don't spend much except credits. Are ally points only used to buy Bronzium? What about Crystals, Cantina Credits and Sim tickets? Any "optimal" way to spend them?

What about Crystals, Cantina Credits and Sim tickets? Any "optimal" way to spend them? Ally points are for Bronzium only. Cantina Credits are best used on Old Daka at first, then whatever you want. Sim tickets are, IMO, best used on Cantina missions because they're long. Otherwise, use them for gathering gear from regular missions unless they're way below your level and you have time to sit there while you auto-clear it. Other than straight pulls, a common way to use Crystals is to get stamina refills once or twice a day. Buying regular stamina costs 50 Crystals the first two times per day, and includes the sim tickets to spend it with, as well. If you have some excess Crystals and don't feel like pulling for a rare, a Cantina stamina refill is definitely worth it because you get Cantina credits as well as shards from whatever character drops there AND skill mats. In my case, I unlocked a bunch of cheap characters that I probably won't use very soon. It seemed to pay off, though, because thanks to the cheevos for getting X number of Light / Dark characters, I only just hit Level 60 today and I should have Darth Vader by tomorrow night!

The P2W is really strong with this game. i don't mind dropping 5 bucks here or there but the game is really stingy in general and packs are very lean. I spent some play store credits up front but I wont do it again, it's not worth it unless you really want to whale hard.

I spent a bunch of free money I got from a dumb work thing buying Chromium packs. I got some cool poo poo, but ultimately? It didn't help me at all, as the best meta right now revolves around poo poo you can farm. Unless you luck into a free Palpatine or Old Daka, you're pretty much wasting money. The story could be different after they change-up what's in the arena/GW shipments and balance the game next month. Chilichimp fucked around with this message at 15:34 on Jan 5, 2016 |

Also, I'm convinced that evasion leaders are the best for Arena, at least on defense. Attacking someone who has Dooku as their leader, with his 14% or so evasion, is just obnoxious. They dodge everything, given the AI proc boost. I'll attack 50 Phasmas before I attack a single Dooku. commish fucked around with this message at 15:54 on Jan 5, 2016 |

The overall "best" pull I had from Chromium was 2* Kit Fisto. Geared up and leveled appropriately, he can go toe to toe with 5*'s due to his massive health pool. He'd be amazing if he had a taunt. Granted, he doesn't do as much damage and his AoE is of limited usefulness, but he's easily the best pull I've seen, for whatever that's worth.I really hope his shards make it into the Arena or GW. EDIT: also, how is Lumi not considered a healer? I hate I can't use her for the Agi challenge. Levantine fucked around with this message at 15:53 on Jan 5, 2016 |

Packs need to give more shards to be worthwhile. Or lower the shard count for premium-only characters. The difference between 4 star and 6 is too big, so free farmable characters are going to be the best for a long time. A 6 star Qui-Gon is probably the loving Apocalypse but it would cost you like $500.

Games like this don't make their money off of hitting the magic price point to get casual players to buy a pack or two. They make such insane amounts of money off whales that whether the individual dude is going to spend $5 a week or $0 a week is of no real consequence to them. That said, I've only bought the Dooku starter and the week of gems and don't plan on buying anything else unless it's crazy good or crazy cheap.

This game is the #11th ranked app in the app store in terms of revenue generated. This game is making an insane amount of money, so I think they have monetized the game perfectly (for them). For us, it's pretty bad until you realize that packs are a waste of money. If you just spend crystals on refreshes, it's actually not nearly as bad as many other games. I'm really hoping they introduce more character packs because I'd be more likely to spend money on those than anything.

I've only spent 10 bucks on the game. The real trick to PAD was to remake your account over and over and over again in the beginning, until the first thing you rolled was like a Horus or w/e. I did this. It took me a week before I could actually play the game, but it proved to be the single best investment, as I'm now level 300+ with a 400+ monster stable and I've never seen another Horus. Point is, you can play PAD without paying a dime, if you're just playing for a few minutes every day. I've beaten nearly every descended dungeon with either Horus or Athena (which I couldn't have gotten without Horus). Sorry for the PAD chat.

Yeah, I started when PAD launched, so I rerolled until I got a Green Odin (at the time, a pretty boss character). And you're right, they are very generous when it comes to giving freebies (GOH needs to do a much better job at this), but after a point, I felt like I was being hindered too much by not having certain characters. For example, you said you needed a Horus to beat Athena - well, I never had a Horus, so I'd have been screwed. Some bosses just needed a few other efficient paths to winning (other than throwing stones at it). Who knows, maybe it's better now. I retired. Really enjoyed my time with it though. Back to GOH: I hope they introduce a new PvP system so I don't get knocked down repeatedly right before 6 pm. Trying to finish in the top 5/10 is almost not worth it because of how much effort it can take. I also hope we get some benefit from defensive wins. Maybe 10 arena points for each win you get on defense.

Less healers are actually better given how the ai will burn turns and cooldowns trying to heal people with healing immunity.

IG is just a lovely Sid, imo, unless you're running an all droid team. Grind Luke/Daka in Cantina, Sid in Arena, Lumi in GW, and use regular energy for gear and to focus on your main 'goal' character. Edit:IG-88 is the off brand Sid. I still would focus on other characters, especially given he comes in only at 1*. VVVAlso, what he said. VVV Mooktastical fucked around with this message at 00:40 on Jan 6, 2016 |

IG-86 is good and powerful, but he's slow and won't be part of that all-too-important initial salvo. I'd just stick with Talia. Definitely get the IG-86 up in the 30-40 range and gear level IV, because he's useful in the attacker challenge, and helluva B-teamer for GW.

I've never placed lower than 20 and I managed to secure second place yesterday when Daka's stuns kept proccing.  Given that the guys around me were at least 5 ranks higher and I got a bunch of friend invites from them later, I assume that the def buff really screwed them over. Luminara seems to be the highest rated character but I think Daka does arena better. She can heal, revive, buff on revive and most importantly, stun up to two people on her normal attack. Add a character that grants additional attacks and you can pretty much take out a higher arena team.

So is it generally worth it to pay crystals to reset the timers on stages? I've maxed out all my runs on all the characters I'm farming, so I've got nothing to do for the rest of the day. I'd really like to get some more shards, but the cost seems way too high.

It's a roulette and generally seems bad. I've done it before but think of it this way. Shipment is 50 crystal per shard. You could do 50 crystal reset plus 36 energy and get on average one. Maybe none. That said if I'm really farming someone I do grab their shipment since it can the days off the time in the long run. and the point of crystals is a time advantage.

My Daka is 65 shards behind yours. I made a couple missteps in the 40's, including buying Jedi Guardian in the Cantina shop until she got to 3*, since she was one of my first bronzium pulls. Splitting GW shards between my 6* Lumi and 5* Phasma is a pain in the dick. It's a good thing they're implementing a shard exchange 'soon', 'cause papa Sidious is almost finished.
